The doors and windows were shut which meant that the cats did not escape from the apartment.

"I guess the four of you can just hide here for the rest of the day?" Zhao Yao said with a sarcastic tone, "But if I managed to find you, your punishment would be much worse than a simple bath."

Roly Poly, which was hiding underneath the sofa, trembled in fear when he heard Zhao Yao"s voice.

Roly Poly shouted at the other cats via telepathy, "What are we going to do now? Zhao Yao is going to kill us if he finds us."

"What are you afraid of?" Matcha replied, "There is only one of him against the four of us."

"But he"s not any human; he"s Zhao Yao!" Roly Poly protested violently, "Look at yourself, your legs are shaking so badly that you cannot even stand still, and yet you talk like you"re so high and mighty!"

"Stop talking," Elizabeth, which was hiding behind them, interrupted, "Even Zhao Yao will find it hard to locate us with my power of illusion combined with Roly Poly"s power of invisibility. We just have to hide here."

"I"m not going to surrender without a fight!" Dust Ball was screaming at the top of her lungs as she was cradled in Zhao Yao"s arms. She could not escape despite how much she struggled. Zhao Yao calmly brought her to the toilet.

When the first drop of water made contact with Dust Ball"s fur, she exploded in continuous shrieks and howls as she desperately fought against Zhao Yao. It was just a simple shower. However, in her eyes, bathing was as good as getting slaughtered. Her dreadful howls were etched at the back of the supercats" heads.

Zhao Yao shook his head as he saw the anger emanating from Dust Ball"s eyes after the shower. It seemed like she wanted to kill him.

Roly Poly"s body started to shake even more violently when he heard Dust Ball"s screams.

"Dust Ball, you are such an idiot, why did you even bother fighting against Zhao Yao? You should have gone into hiding with the rest of us!"

Matcha was shaking all over his body as his eyes flashed with indignance and anger. He announced, "We cannot continue hiding like this, we must start retaliating against Zhao Yao with all that we have! Are we going to be cowards for the rest of our lives? It"s time to defeat him and make him our pet!"

"But…" Elizabeth stammered as she tried to convince Matcha against it.

Matcha continued, "Zhao Yao has lots of money in his bank. After defeating him, we can withdraw the money from his bank, and I"ll buy you a VIP members.h.i.+p so you can watch Game of Thrones without the annoying ads! You can watch all sorts of movies online!"

Elizabeth"s breathing turned rapid when she heard Matcha"s proposal.

Matcha turned around to Roly Poly, "As long as we defeat Matcha, you can eat anything that you desire. You can have Macdonalds for breakfast, KFC for lunch and even Burger King for dinner. No one can stop you."

Roly Poly"s eyes instantly turned red as if he was a starving cat which had not eaten for the past few days.

Matcha was also engrossed in his imagination and thought, "I can buy all of the game skins in Mobile Legend!"

"Defeat Zhao Yao and become his owner!"

"Make him our slave!"

"Eat fried chicken every day!"

"Buy diamonds in Mobile Legends."

"Watch movies without ads!"

All three cats experienced an adrenaline rush as they were getting ready for a showdown against Zhao Yao.

However, at the exact moment, a giant invisible hand had grabbed onto Roly Poly"s body.

"What happened?" Roly Poly"s body froze temporarily as a disastrous thought flashed through his head.

Immediately, Roly Poly was pulled by the invisible hand out from underneath the sofa.

"Meow!" Roly Poly continued screaming to no avail. Upon witnessing this, Matcha and Elizabeth immediately fled the scene. The fighting spirit that they had displayed had vanished.

Both cats started to engage in a frantic discussion via telepathy.

"What happened? What was Roly Poly captured by?"

"It must have been Zhao Yao. He used my power of invisibility to hide and went around searching for us!"

Both Matcha and Elizabeth found a new hiding spot underneath a cabinet. Before long, they heard Zhao Yao"s voice inching towards them again.

"So you"re still not coming out? Matcha? Elizabeth?"

Suddenly, the entire room turned into total darkness except for the two cats.

"Sh*t!" Matcha knew that it was a bad sign.

Zhao Yao had cast an illusion on all the living matter in the room. In their eyes, all the non-living matter had been enveloped in pitch darkness.

Only Elizabeth"s power of illusion could counter Zhao Yao"s power. She immediately turned Matcha and herself invisible to prevent Zhao Yao from seeing them.

However, the cats" silhouette had a distinct contrast to the darkness which they were surrounded in.

"Finally found you!" A ma.s.sive hand came flying towards Elizabeth. At the moment when Elizabeth was caught, Matcha had already teleported away. He had used his power of time freeze to make his escape.

So you think you can escape?" Zhao Yao sneered. Suddenly, many Zhao Yao appeared out of thin air and dashed towards Matcha altogether.

Matcha was terrified as he tried to escape from the countless Zhao Yaos. Zhao Yao had carefully positioned the fake Zhao Yaos in a manner that Matcha would avoid them and run straight to the real Zhao Yao"s hands.

He had finally captured all four supercats and decided to bathe all four of them at one go.

Bam! A meaty paw slammed on the gla.s.s door in Zhao Yao"s shower. Roly Poly opened his mouth to let out a scream before getting dragged back by Zhao Yao. He was frantically scratching against the floor as shower gel was poured onto his fat belly.

"I don"t care! I"m not getting a bath!" The world turned into a standstill after Matcha"s thunderous roar. Before he even managed to take a step out of the shower, Zhao Yao had already stopped him.

"You don"t have a choice," Zhao Yao replied as he poured bath gel onto Matcha"s back.

Meanwhile, Dust Ball was busy sucking all the water into her belly.

"Dust Ball! Do you know how expensive is our utility bill?" Zhao Yao retorted before he activated Elizabeth"s power and took control of Dust Ball"s body.

Elizabeth looked at the water all over her body and fear flashed across her eyes immediately. Out of the four cats, Elizabeth was the most afraid of water.

After two hours of struggle, Zhao Yao finally managed to bath the four supercats. He heaved a sigh of relief as he finished blow-drying the last cat.

The four cats dashed into their individual corners the moment they were released from the toilet. They began grooming themselves as they licked the fur on their body. Zhao Yao started to laugh as he knew that this process would take at least an hour. It might even take Elizabeth 2 hours for her long fur.

Zhao Yao"s smile turned brighter when he saw the experience pointed gained.

Roly Poly offered the least resistance during the process, and Zhao Yao earned twenty experience points from himit. Even though Dust Ball struggled aggressively against Zhao Yao, her tiny frame was quickly restrained by Zhao Yao. Hence, Zhao Yao earned another thirty experience points.

Elizabeth did not stop struggling even after she was captured. She began to use her illusion and even vomited during her bath. Zhao Yao had to clear up everything. Her long fur required Zhao Yao to spend the longest time to blow-dry her. Zhao Yao earned forty experience points from it.

Bathing Matcha was definitely the hardest out of the four. Whenever Zhao Yao was distracted by the other cats, Matcha would use his power of time freeze to escape. However, Zhao Yao managed to restrain him every time. From this, Zhao Yao earned fifty experience points.

Apart from the 180 experience points earned from the eighteen stray cats, Zhao Yao earned 140 experience points from his supercats, which totaled to 320 experience points. With the power of the "2X Exp Card", the experience points skyrocketed to 640 instantly.

Suddenly there were new changes in his BOOK:

Book: lv 2(1066/1000)

He had two choices: either level up his BOOK or add the points to Matcha and level up Matcha instead.
