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