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