News of the Meteorite Fragments and the wedding spread like a typhoon throughout Japan.
It had been two years since the appearance of supercats, humans were now able to explore and research supercats on a much deeper level.
The Meteorite two years ago caused the awakening of the cats. That was a widely accepted fact.
The fact that Meteorite Fragments could improve supercats was widely known and accepted by more people due to recent months of propaganda by a certain influential power.
When the Meteorite finally landed in America, most of the Meteorite Fragments were confiscated by the American government. To find such fragments in the international realm was almost impossible.
The intentional release of this news by the Hattori clan had caused an uproar in the Japanese supernatural realm.
How alluring would Meteorite Fragments, that could improve supernatural powers, be to humans and cats? Many apostles, supercats and supernatural organizations coveted the Meteorite Fragments.
…
Home of the Kujyo Clan.
Hideki Kujyo stood behind a large french window with his brows furrowed and slowly said, “Kaede Hattori did this… to capture the entire Japanese supernatural realm in one clean swoop.”
A samurai-clad middle-aged man sat on a sofa behind Hideki Kujyo, carefully wiping his katana. He nodded in agreement and said, “Hehe… This wedding is a convenient excuse. He’s using the Meteorite Fragments as bait. He’s also relying on his strength to repress the heroes of the realm and dominate the world… that shows ambition and daring boldness.”
Hideki Kujyo looked back at the samurai warrior and asked, “Do you think he will succeed?:
The samurai warrior shrugged his shoulders and said, “At least, Kaede Hattori believes he can succeed. After becoming the supernatural leader of Japan, his skill in the Divine Rays of Terror has grown immensely.”
Hideki Kujyo muttered, “We cannot let him do that. If he manages to capture all Japanese supernatural talents in one swoop, the powers of his Divine Rays of Terror will grow beyond our imagination. We will never live to see daylight.”
Hideki Kujyo narrowed his eyes as he looked out of the window. Zhao Yao stood waiting at the entrance before being led in by Sylvie.
“This man… seems to be Nanako’s Chinese friend.” Hideki Kujyo creased his brows, took out his phone and called Sylvie. “Sylvie, chase this Chinese man away.”
Sylvie, who was ushering Zhao Yao in, was slightly taken aback. “But, Miss Nanako agreed to let him come in, he is Nanako’s…”
“Nanako is going to get married in one week. Do you think it is appropriate for her to consort with a male stranger? Hideki Kujyo coldly continued, “We are under scrutiny by a lot of people. Do not create opportunities for gossip about the Kujyo clan.”
Sylvie took in a deep breath and nodded. “I understand.”
Hanging up, she turned to Zhao Yao and said, “Apologies Mr. Zhao Yao, Miss Nanako has other matters to attend to. She is unable to meet you today.”
Zhao Yao felt helpless as he touched his ear for comfort. As he possessed the insight power of five cats, he had eavesdropped on the telephone conversation.
Unfortunately, he did not know Japanese, so he did not understand the phone conversation. He looked at Old Cat, who had been made invisible by Roly Poly.
Old Cat shook his head, indicating that he did not hear anything. So Zhao Yao nodded his head and expressed his understanding by saying, “Okay, we will meet next time.”
As Sylvie was sending Zhao Yao out, she gazed at his receding silhouette and let out a faint sigh. “If Miss Nanako were not part of the Kujyo clan, this man could have been a suitable match.”
Zhao Yao staggered. He walked faster and after turning a street corner ordered Roly Poly to enter invisible mode.
This was a joke. He was barred from entry and would not enter? That was not Zhao Yao’s style.
By using invisibility and his power of illusion to shield the noise he made and his smell, Zhao Yao snuck into Kujyo clan house to locate Nanako.
Originally, he wanted to see Kaede Hattori first to settle the task problem. After hearing about the bridal gift and the Meteorite Fragments, he decided to visit Nanako and study the Meteorite Fragments.
Zhao Yao heard a commotion and the loud opening and slamming of doors when he arrived on the third level of the huge mansion. He walked over in direction of the noise and saw Nanako come out of the room furiously. Hideki Kujyo’s cold indifferent words rang out from behind her. “Sylvie, bring Lady Nanako back to her room and take good care of her.”
Nanako turned back abruptly. “Hideki Kujyo! Do you wish to confine me?”
Hideki Kujyo indifferently replied, “Nanako, be more mature. You are not living for yourself. You have the reputation of the entire Kujyo clan to uphold. Do not make mistakes that will embarrass our family.”
Nanako was brought back into the room by Sylvie and Hideki Kujyo gave a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he turned his head to look towards the stairway. The stairway was empty.
“False alarm? I thought I felt someone watching me?” Hideki Kujyo frowned and shut the door.
Standing by the stairway, the invisible Zhao Yao was a little shocked. “He has such a strong intuition that can sense my presence?”
Shaking his head in disbelief, Zhao Yao hurried towards Nanako’s room. Using the power of illusion, he manipulated the door and gained entry without being discovered.
He patted on Nanako’s shoulders. She turned around and jumped in fright.
“Mr. Zhao Yao! Why have you come here?” Nanako looked at Zhao Yao in shock. “You used your supernatural powers to sneak in? That’s very dangerous.”
“It’s no problem.” Zhao Yao looked at Nanako gleefully and said, “I see that you are in a dire situation with this family. How are you? Do you need my help? My promise is still valid.”
Nanako exhaled, shaking her head as she said, “Don’t worry. I know how to handle this situation.”
“Really?”
Nanako shook her head. “It is not an issue. Thank you, Mr. Zhao Yao.” Although Nanako’s heart was filled with anger, she understood that under Kaede Hattori’s leadership, the Hattori clan had risen to the top of the Japanese clans. The power and influence of the Hattori clan grew day by day. Even if the Kujyo clan resisted, it would be futile. She should not involve Zhao Yao.
“Ah! No task for me.” Zhao Yao sighed in disappointment. He looked at Nanako and asked, “Yes, I heard about the Meteorite Fragments that were your bridal gift? Do you have them on you?”
Seeing Zhao Yao’s curiosity, Nanako smiled as she said, “What? Mr. Zhao Yao is also interested in the Meteorite Fragments?” She let out a single sigh. “Lately, so many people have been inquiring about the Meteorite Fragments. I am so afraid that I shut off my phone.”
Zhao Yao rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. “If… you do not wish to be troubled, give the Meteorite Fragments to me. I am not afraid of trouble.”
