At this moment, the teenager’s eyes swept towards the old man’s direction as he asked, “Meng Ye, what are we going to do since he’s coming tomorrow?”
Meng Ye’s eyes squinted into a hard line when he heard the teenager’s question. He stroked his chin thoughtfully before opening his mouth to reveal a set of yellowish-brown teeth, corroded by years of relentless smoking, “Tell him that arrangments have been made. A friend will be there to receive him at the train station. Just follow the guy here.”
His brows knitted together as the teenager clarified, “Aren’t you gonna send Xiao Ming to receive him?”
“That’s as good as giving them a train ticket each to escape.” The old man sniggered before continuing, “We must find some way to lure him here. Once here, he will be as good as a flightless bird with no chance of escaping my clutches. Tiger, you will be the one receiving him tomorrow. Bring him here by hook or by crook.”
Zhao Yao’s eyes darted across the phone screen as he concluded, “From the looks of it, someone is taking him hostage and they’re trying to lure me into their trap.”
…
Zhao Yao welcomed the new day with a bowl of piping hot porridge before informing the rest, “I’ll be out for some mission today, so I’ll need your help to take care of the café.”
Before Baiquan could even respond, Hanako had already interrupted them, “Huh? Are you going for another holiday? Why not we just close the café for a day and organize a company retreat? I mean it’s almost the end of the year already!”
Zhao Yao’s right eyebrow shot up as her voice rang in his head, “Oh my god, I have almost forgotten about the existence of a company retreat. D*mn it.” He could only placate her with a stupid excuse, “A café is not exactly a company, hence we do not have company retreats. Furthermore, what will happen to our ardent supporters if we close for a day? Who will satisfy their need to play with cats?”
However, the frown did not leave Hanako’s face even after hearing Zhao Yao’s feeble excuse as she continued, “Are you sure it’s not because you’ve forgotten about it? You should at least treat all of us to a meal if you can’t afford a retreat!”
Zhao Yao nodded his head as he listened to Hanako’s suggestions, “Alright, I’ll treat all of you to a scrumptious meal when I return.” His head instantly cocked towards Baiquan and instructed him, “Baiquan, go and Baidu for the best hotel in the entire Jiangmen City. I will pay for the meal there.”
With that, he threw Roly Poly over his shoulders as they left for his Panamera before heading towards Xiao Ming’s direction.
Meanwhile, Roly Poly was seated on the co-driver seat with a beaming smile plastered on his face. He could hardly believe that he was the only cat chosen for the mission as a smile danced on his lips.
“Meowhaha, I have finally risen through the ranks and become Zhao Yao’s favorite cat!”
While Roly Poly was immersed in his fantasies, Zhao Yao’s voice suddenly rang in his head, “Roly Poly, do you know why I brought you out on this mission?”
With a twinkle in his eyes, Roly Poly answered, “I have no idea why.”
“I have come up with a brilliant plan. I need your help to turn the entire car invisible.”
Roly Poly was pleased to know that Zhao Yao was so dependent on his power and immediately acceded to his request. Instantly, the car had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of its existence.
“Haha, that’s the way. Roly Poly put on your seatbelt. We are about to have some fun!”
Zhao Yao slammed his foot on the accelerator as the car rumbled to life and sped down the road at warp speed. At the entrance to the district, Zhao Yao simply slid the security guard a glance as a red glimmer flashed across his eye. With that, he continued speeding down the road.
Only one word could accurately describe the exhilaration sensation of speeding in an invisible car: orgasmic.
Because no one could see him, none of the pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers even bothered to dodge him. Hence, Zhao Yao had to weave through the traffic with death brushing against him.
However, this exhilarating sensation was somewhat less intense for Zhao Yao. With his “Four is better than three” and his heightened sensory skills, snaking through this traffic were nothing too difficult. He had far surpassed what humans are normally capable of.
The invisible car continued to slide past the non-stop traffic with no hints of stopping. At most, Zhao Yao would simply control the other drivers with illusion while he continued to zoom past them, including the toll payments.
With Roly Poly’s power, not only did he manage to save time, he also managed to evade the sea of cameras scattered across the place.
After more than ten hours of non-stop driving, Zhao Yao finally made reached the edge of Zha Pian Province that night.
The traffic over here was far worse than Jiangmen City. Even Zhao Yao was forced to slow down to a complete halt. Left with no better options, Zhao Yao absorbed the car into his belly before making his way by foot.
Zhao Yao surveyed his surroundings, and could only see trees, trees and more trees. He could not help but mutter, “This is really secluded.”
Roly Poly, who stood beside him, was paler than usual as saliva trickled down his lips. He started vomiting the moment he left the car as he cursed in his head, “This stupid reckless driver! What is he doing? I will never turn his car invisible ever again!”
“Roly Poly, turn us invisible. We are going in.”
With his face drenched in sweat, Roly Poly collapsed to his knees as he pleaded, “Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I feel like shit. I don’t have any energy to use my power at all.”
Zhao Yao took a glance at Roly Poly and noticed how sick he was. Zhao Yao could only nod his head and acquiesced to his request, “Alright.” With that, he threw Roly Poly into his cat bag before slinging it over his shoulders and made his way into the district. At most, Roly Poly could activate his power the moment the situation called for it.
A cheeky smile crept up his face as he laid comfortably in the cat bag, “Thank god for my cute face.”
Soon enough, Zhao Yao had made his way into the district. However, he had no intentions to contact Xiao Ming via WeChat yet.
Zhao Yao could not help but shake his head when he looked back on Xiao Ming’s downfall.
When he first met him, Xiao Ming was the quintessential Fu Er Dai, with heaps of money awaiting him. However, his luck had gone downhill since the day supercats were awakened. Firstly, his entire family was torn apart by the work of Nekomata. Then, he got cheated of all his money in his ‘business ventures’. Now, he even required Zhao Yao’s help to save him.
“Speaking of which, that guy still owes me RMB 50,000,000.” This thought rekindled a flame in Zhao Yao as his body surged with energy.
However, he had no plan to meet the person at the train station as of yet. As a seasoned apostle, he knew the outcome of walking directly into a carefully laid trap.
Superpower was something that was lethal offensively but feeble defensively. He would be in an extremely disadvantageous position if he was caught off guard.
Usually, a sneak attack or an ambush could easily kill an opponent, who might be significantly stronger, in a matter of seconds.
Zhao Yao had benefitted from this countless times and was not planning to be on the losing end this time around.
He carefully placed a bracelet on his wrist as he instantaneously transformed into the most innocent looking middle-aged man.
This was the illusion which he had spent all night crafting with one purpose – to conceal his identity.
With his initial preparations all completed, Zhao Yao finally made his way towards the train station.
Zhao Yao’s eyes started scanning the surroundings as he drew closer to the meeting point. Naturally, he could not find the ‘friend’ who was supposed to fetch him. Hence, he whipped out his phone and typed, “Xiao Ming, I’m almost there. Where is your friend?”
Tiger’s eyes were glued to his phone and he immediately replied, “Are you driving? What car are you using? It’s easier for us to find you instead.”
Zhao Yao’s brows locked together as he replied, “No, no. I’m the one coming over to meet you. How can I expect you to find me instead?”
Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s ears gave a slight shudder as he noticed a shadow inching towards him.
