Inspector Ho was pleased that Zhao Yao was easier to talk to than he expected.

During his meeting with other supercats and apostles, some of them opposed strongly to the idea and showed signs of retaliation. Others requested for ridiculous sums of money, some as high as tens of millions of dollars. Even Inspector Ho himself wasn"t paid that much in a year.

In order to satisfy these people, Inspector Ho had to resort to all sorts of methodology; he threatened them, sweet-talked them, played the "pity card" and even tried to lure them through other incentives.

Even after trying so hard, he still couldn"t convince some of them. With their supercats and newfound powers, some apostles already began to live a life of power and affluence. In some cases, their parents belonged to an even higher social status than Inspector Ho himself. There was nothing he could do with those apostles.

Comparing Zhao Yao and the other apostles, Inspector Ho was more than contented that Zhao Yao was willing to accept his offer, considering the fact that Zhao Yao was considerably much stronger in terms of power than the rest.

Before he left, Inspector Ho recalled something and asked Zhao Yao. "Oh, by the way, I"m sure you felt the recent earthquake in Jiangmen City right?"

"Mmm..." Zhao Yao froze as he thought of a possibility. "You mean the earthquake is..."

"You"re right. It should be caused by a supercat. We are now searching for that supercat." Inspector Ho continued, "You can tell how destructive its power can get. Although it hasn"t really caused any large scale destruction, we aren"t going to take any chances. Even a small possibility of that happening is dangerous enough. If you manage to find it, you must notify us at once."

"I got it." Zhao Yao nodded with a serious face as he understood how big of a threat the supercat is.

Zhao Yao headed back home as he kept on thinking about the conversation he had with Uncle Ho.

From what he saw, Zhao Yao was pleased with the inspector"s att.i.tude. He appreciated how the inspector treated the supercats and apostles with respect; he placed their comfort and a.s.surance as his top priority.

Zhao Yao once imagined that people like the inspector would be oppressive, brutal and would even resort to violent means of capturing and exterminating supercats and apostles. He was incredibly relieved that it wasn"t as bad as he imagined and figured that all this was probably for the sake of social stability and prosperity.

However, power was the reason why things turned out this way anyway. The supercats and apostles had access to phenomenal powers and the police could do nothing to control such powers. Hence, they could only approach the apostles with a submissive mindset.

At the thought of this, Zhao Yao knew that he had to continue to increase the level of BOOK as well as the cats" powers.

Upon reaching home, a dark figure swiftly flashed past Zhao Yao"s face. It was Dust Ball; she lunged herself towards Zhao Yao at the sight of him.

Roly Poly shut his eyes as he saw Dust Ball flying towards Zhao Yao and sighed, "Why did she commit suicide..."

In a blink of an eye, Dust Ball was dangling by the back of her neck as Zhao Yao held her by his fingers. "What are you doing..."

Dust Ball didn"t utter a single word but opened her mouth and sucked Zhao Yao"s clothes, pants and phone into it.

Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow, and as a streak of red light emerged in his eyes, Dust Ball was fully under Zhao Yao"s control.

Zhao Yao grabbed Dust Ball by her hind legs and shamefully dangled her upside down yet again as Dust Ball remained fuming mad.

He started swinging her back and forth and ordered, "Quick! Return me my belongings!"

Uhh... A pile of trash together with Zhao Yao"s belonging landed on the floor.

As Zhao Yao stared at the pile of trash on the floor, he couldn"t help but ask, "Why do you always have so much garbage in your stomach?"

"Mind your own business!" Dust Ball gritted her teeth at Zhao Yao but was sent swaying back and forth again.

Zhao Yao cleared the trash in the living room as he left a dizzy Dust Ball lying on the sofa. He finally had some time to rest on the couch.

Mango jumped onto Zhao Yao and rubbed his head against Zhao Yao"s body playfully. Zhao Yao giggled as he gently stroked Mango"s head. Mango reacted by rubbing his head against Zhao Yao"s palm.

Zhao Yao looked around the room. From a distance, Dust Ball"s eyes lit up with fury as she stared at Zhao Yao from the shelves. Matcha was focused on playing Mobile Legends on his phone, Elizabeth sat by the window ledge and browsed through her phone while Roly Poly was starving in the corner of the room as usual. Zhao Yao turned his attention back to Mango and sighed, "Mango, look at how obedient you are. It seems like I didn"t raise you up for nothing."

After taking a short rest, Zhao Yao suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Uncle Ho and wondered if other supercats and apostles had encountered such a thing. He took out his phone, checked his WeChat and saw that the people in the group were already having a conversation.

An ID named Omnipresent said, "Recently, the government has been looking for apostles and supercats to talk to. Have you guys met them?"

Another replied, "Yeah, they seem to be looking for me. I hid and ignored them."

Leopard Head: "I"ve seen them. My fellow people, I greet you all. I"m now a civil servant, hahaha!"

Chubby Luban a.s.sasin: "What"s the use of being a civil servant? They haven"t found me yet, but if they ever do, I"ll reject them instantly."

No.1 Dried Fish Fan: "Fatty, you never left the house once have you?"

Leopard Head: "Right, that reminds me. Didn"t you say you would eat your sh*t if you lost the challenge last time? You can start streaming it now."

Omnipresent: "May the show begin."

Chubby Luban a.s.sasin: "It was 1 to 1 last time. I was a draw, so there"s no winner or loser."

"Then let"s settle this now."

At this moment, Matcha appeared in the group chat. "Hi, guys."

Chubby Luban a.s.sa.s.sin: "I would love to settle this now, but my connection is bad now. Once it"s back to normal, I"ll beat you to a pulp!"

Matcha: "I guess you don"t have to eat sh*t. Just change your name to "Chubby Sh*t Eater"."

Seeing how the conversation had turned into this, Zhao Yao couldn"t help but laugh. He had seen Omnipresent in the chat for some time. Omnipresent seemed to be a very well-informed person; he often shared news about supercats and even knew a lot about the happenings outside the country. American apostles creating a ruckus, supercats from other countries stealing antiques and jewellery or even the large-scale mobilization of armed troops outside of Jiangmen City. He knew about them and occasionally shared his knowledge with the group.

In the next few days, Zhao Yao continued to live as he would every day --- researching on cat food, bringing Matcha and Elizabeth for a walk in the night.

However, it seemed like the involvement of the government had led to fewer strange occurrences. It was even harder to find other supercats now.

As for the stuff that came out of Dust Ball"s mouth, electronics like ma.s.sage chairs and cleaning robots have found use in Zhao Yao"s home. However, Zhao Yao still hadn"t found a way to handle the jewellery and accessories which he kept in a separate box.

After all, these jewellery were all stolen goods. There"s no way to know if someone left a mark on it, or rather, who would be willing to accept these stolen goods?

He felt shameless that he was thinking of doing breaking the law when he just spoke to Uncle Ho a few days back.

Hence, Zhao Yao decided to leave the jewellery in his house temporarily for now and continue doing his daily missions while waiting for Uncle Ho to help with the setting up of his new shop.

Zhao Yao searched the web for information on cat cafes and complained as he shook his head, "This is much more troublesome than I imagined it to be. Who knew that I had to do research for the drink recipes..."

"Forget it, I"ll get instant mixes instead. The main attractions of cat cafes are the cats anyway."

"Yeah, when the time comes, I"ll bring all the stray cats into the cafe. It"s a good thing that they already had their vaccine jabs; I"ll just have to bring them to the vet for sterilization."

These few days of rest had helped the cats to settle down. Zhao Yao had allocated more time to making better cat food as well.

As of now, both Matcha and Elizabeth needed almost 1000 experience points to level up. It turned out that the experiences gained from eating the premium cat biscuits were way too little for growth. Zhao Yao had already tried to switch to different brands of cat biscuits, but none of them could exceed the "premium" level and gave very little experience points.

Hence, Zhao Yao decided to rely on himself and find a way to produce higher-grade cat food in order to level up quicker.
