Because of Zhao Yao"s insane fight, Inspector Ho had a lot on his plate for the day. He had to cordon off the entire area, get rid of the mess, appease the residents, explain to the media, put an end to the gossip and most importantly catch the fugitive.
All the government apostles in Jiangmen City were taken aback by the news.
As the most eye-catching suspect of the day, Golden Man was declared as the number one most wanted fugitive among them.
Zhao Yao earned a total of 2500 experience points from the night"s worth of escapade, turning his BOOK to lv4(3628/5000).
Sphynx Cat had also left an indelible impression on Zhao Yao from their fight the previous night, be it its incredible infiltration skills with the use of its superior body control or even the tenacity it displayed throughout the fight, the cunningness it employed during the sneak attack and its final scheme to escape.
This Sphynx Cat was the strongest supercat Zhao Yao had ever met in terms of its physical prowess combined with its intellect.
The most frightening aspect of this cat was that there were no limits to how strong it could potentially become.
"Luckily I managed to capture it."
At the same time, Zhao Yao had to reevaluate his perception of his abilities.
Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair and muttered, "I have really belittled the supercats and apostles in Jiangmen City. All the victories that I have earned had numbed me and made me too c.o.c.ky."
Matcha, who stood beside Zhao Yao, nodded his head and spoke in a solemn tone, "Zhao Yao, you have truly gotten a full of yourself. Look at you, what have you been doing these days? All you know is to play PUBG at the end of the day. If not for my help, you would have been dead already!"
Zhao Yao instantly sent a slap across Matcha"s face and roared as anger surged through him, "You have the cheek to criticize me? Do you even know what you have been doing these days? Furthermore, the outcome of today"s battle was because of my wit and smart thinking!"
"Do you actually think that I spent all those time just to play a game?" Disappointment sagged through Matcha as he stared indignantly at Zhao Yao and explained, "By spending time playing Mobile Legends, I"m devising ways in which I can apply superpowers into our daily lives! If I didn"t get Roly Poly to scare it, you would already have been beaten to a pulp!"
Zhao Yao folded his arms across his chest and grumbled, "I guess I have to thank Roly Poly then." Zhao Yao squatted next to Roly Poly and gave a forceful rub across his head, "Roly Poly, I guess I can always depend on you during such critical times. You carry the heavy responsibility of taking care of my a.s.sets in the future."
Roly Poly forced an excited look on his face but thought, "Hmph, can I actually trust this old man? Don"t tell me he actually intends to pa.s.s down the cat café to me?" However, Roly Poly was still overwhelmed by the prospect of possibly succeeding the entire business from Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao squeezed his hands into a fist and thought, "Now, I"ll have to focus all my attention on completing more missions. At this rate, I"ll be able to upgrade my BOOK and the supercats at the end of the month."
"Also, it"s time to start using the supercats inside the belly to my advantage. If I managed to pull Ares and the ragdolls out for the fight, I would have easily won the battle."
A blueprint aimed at improving his combat prowess started formulating at the back of his head. Firstly, he had to complete more missions in order to upgrade both his BOOK and supercats. Next, he had to find some way to leverage on the supercats living in his belly.
"Thankfully I had already found the pattern behind all these missions. Now, I just have to spam them all!"
However, as he made his way back to the dugout with the Sphynx Cat slung over his shoulders, his ears shuddered as an ear-piercing shriek erupted. His body gave a slight quiver as he slapped his hand over his mouth, "D*mn it! I knew it! I had forgotten about something!"
"King George! Get out now!" Zhao Xue"s exasperated voice echoed throughout the place as she made her way from one tree to another.
After quite some time, Dust Ball appeared out of thin air with an amiable smile plastered on her face. She had just returned from her extradimensional belly.
However, a giant hand instantly greeted her by strangling her neck.
"Dust Ball!" Zhao Yao stared at her with a pair of dead fish eyes and questioned her, "What are you doing?"
Dust Ball"s fur puffed up a little before she immediately devoured herself into her belly. The cat had disappeared it following the swirl of the s.p.a.ce-time dimension.
However, a bright light flooded her eyes moments after she returned to the belly. She was once again vomited out of Zhao Yao"s mouth.
"Hmph," Zhao Yao"s eyes remained glued on her.
Dust Ball could only muster an awkward smile and replied, "Meowhaha, I thought all of you had already left! Hence, I decided to help train you sister, Zhao Yao!"
Zhao Yao played along and started laughing, "In that case, let me train you as well. From today onwards, you will only receive the catmint that you managed to find. If not, you will have none of it."
"No, Zhao Yao!" Dust Ball pleaded non-stop and started rubbing against Zhao Yao"s calf, "This is unfair. How can you go against your words? We had an agreement!"
At the same time, Zhao Xue"s screams interrupted their conversations. Zhao Yao"s eyebrow shot up and he was left with no choice but to coat himself with illusion. With the Sphynx Cat, Dust Ball, Matcha and Roly Poly next to him, he made his way to his sister.
When Zhao Yao finally found her, she was squatting in a corner as her fingers started tracing an invisible circle on the ground with a look of utter despair. After a night of "training", her clothes had been tattered and her body covered in mud. She looked just like a refugee.
"Don"t tell me that a pretty girl like me would be stuck in this G.o.dforsaken place?" Zhao Xue"s eyes reddened with anger as she roared, "B*stard! Why do I have to be stuck in this place? King George, get the h.e.l.l out right now!"
Zhao Yao waved his hand towards Matcha and instructed him, "Go up."
Hence, King George, with a halo above his head, reappeared in Zhao Xue"s eyes. Zhao Xue noticed him and instantly pounced towards him and pressed Matcha"s head against her chest. She bawled and screamed, "I thought you were just gonna leave me here forever!" As she spoke, she began wiping her snot and tears on Matcha"s fur.
Matcha looked at her with a face of disdain and tried his best to break free from her clutch. However, Zhao Xue held on to him extremely tightly as she was afraid that he would disappear again. Matcha looked towards Zhao Yao and shouted, "Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get a hold of your sister! I"m going to suffocate to death!"
Zhao Yao looked towards Matcha with a face of indifference as his voice rang in Zhao Xue"s head, "Zhao Xue, your current combat abilities are far too weak. From now on, you will have to train every day."
"Huh?" Zhao Xue"s breath shook as fear crossed her face. She mumbled, "Is it gonna be the same as today?"
Zhao Yao suppressed his cough and explained, "You don"t have to come to this dugout anymore. I have forsaken this place. From now on, report to Utopia district at 8 pm every day."
Zhao Yao knew that supercats" presence and influence in Jiangmen City was only going to grow. Seeing that Zhao Xue was bent on partic.i.p.ating, he had decided to lend out Roly Poly"s power. Furthermore, Roly Poly could also grow stronger by lending out his power to Zhao Xue and Baiquan.
"Hmph? Zhao Yao, isn"t that our house?"Matcha asked with a curious expression.
Zhao Yao answered telepathically, "You don"t say? I"ll be going out for my missions at 8 pm every day I can just settle it in our district. Do you expect me to come to her university every day? That"ll kill me!"
Zhao Xue immediately replied, "However, that"s very from where I live. Can we meet somewhere nearer?" As she spoke, she bent down to Matcha and gave him a soothing rub on his chin. She pleaded, "King George, please. I"ll deliver fish to you and offer you ma.s.sage services daily. Can it be a little nearer?"
"No." Zhao Yao instantly shot down her proposition and sn.i.g.g.e.red, "Do you think I"ll actually fall for your fish and ma.s.sage traps? I"m not even a cat."
Matcha curled his lips in disgust and thought, "Is that even something to be proud of?"
After sending his sister away, Zhao Yao retrieved the collars from his supercats and lifted the illusion within the dugout before making his way home.
With Roly Poly"s power of invisibility and Elizabeth"s power of illusion, they were able to conceal themselves throughout the journey. Even the Sphynx Cat lay obediently in the car.
Zhao Yao let out a long sigh as he placed the muscular Sphynx Cat on the floor. All sorts of ideas swarmed his mind as he kept thinking about how to deal with it.
"Wah, this has such a nice view. No wonder Matcha always love to spend his time here." Roly Poly thought as he rested on Matcha"s ma.s.sage throne. A smile crept up his face as he observed his surroundings, "This will be my home the day Zhao Yao dies."
"Get lost!" Matcha shouted as he pushed Roly Poly off of his throne. He mocked, "This throne is reserved for the king."
Roly Poly crashed against the ground as he stared furiously at Matcha. Matcha shouted, "Fatso, you have grown quite c.o.c.ky recently." Matcha raised his paw into the air and unleashed his claws. He continued, "Do you see this? These are the paws capable of performing the world"s cla.s.sical pieces. They are even capable of tapping on the screen 12 times in a single second."
"Matcha boss, you have wronged me!" Roly Poly forced a smile and continued, "Matcha, you will always be my boss!"
