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