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