146 The Retaliation ? (1/2)
Zhao Yao did not bother about the earthquake cat once she was safely kept inside his belly. He then switched to Matcha's power of time freeze. He turned to Baiquan and instructed him, ”Take care of the café. I'll come back soon.”
Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball and said, ”You must stay here. If anything goes wrong, I would enter the extradimensional belly and escape from your side. If anything goes wrong in the café, get everyone in and come to my side.”
…
Meanwhile, spirit cat stared at the phone in front of him and heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, ”I guess this should be enough.”
He turned his head to face Xiao Shi Yu. With a wave of his paws, he had slowly placed Shi Yu on the floor with his psychokinesis power. Shi Yu was fast asleep.
Spirit cat used Shi Yu's phone to send the message to Zhao Yao after he had tied her to a corner on the rooftop.
”At this rate, Elizabeth would be here soon!” Spirit cat's paws swiped across the phone as he began contacting Ho Hao Cang.
…
On a small courtyard in the suburb, Hao Cang was knocking his fingers against the tabletop incessantly. In front of him was the butler with his head lowered. He said, ”Master, according to our sources, Isabella no longer has the earthquake cat with her.”
”She doesn't have the earthquake cat with her?” Hao Cang's forehead furrowed.
”Yes, it seems like she has hidden the cat. Since last night, no one has seen her alongside earthquake cat,” The butler reported.
”She had hidden the cat? Does this mean that she has an accomplice?” Hao Cang reached out his hand as he started caressing Ares which was beside him. Ares tilted its head back as it rubbed its head against Hao Cang's palm.
”It seems like it.”
Hao Cang squinted his eyes as he carefully considered the entire situation. Suddenly, his phone rang. A smirk appeared on his face as he took a glance at his phone.
”It seems like lady luck is smiling on me,” Hao Cang told the butler. He continued, ”Where do you think earthquake cat is hiding at?”
”Where?”
”Zhao Yao,” Hao Cang replied excitedly. He continued, ”Nekomata saw him bringing earthquake cat back to his apartment last night.”
”Zhao Yao? This means that he came to the old town yesterday? It seems like Isabella was all but a distraction. She secretly passed the earthquake cat to him, someone nobody would expect to be strong enough to steal earthquake cat.”
”Hahaha, no wonder he rejected my offer to join the team,” Hao Cang said as his eyes flickered with anger. He said, ”I'm afraid this guy is not as weak as I thought. Maybe he even has the backing of the Americans.”
The butler replied, ”Master, I will go over now and get the earthquake cat back for you.” The butler was disgruntled after failing to capture earthquake cat when it was right in front of him.
”Wait. For him to be recruited by the Americans means that he is quite strong. Bring along Four-Eyed, Golden-Haired, and Ah Tao. The 4 of you should be able to take care of him.”
Lucifer which was resting on the couch heard their conversation and immediately went over to Hao Cang and typed on his phone, ”Do not kill Zhao Yao.”
”Don't worry, Lucifer. I will not kill him.” Hao Cang assured Lucifer. Hao Cang then turned his head to the butler and instructed, ”Capture Zhao Yao and bring him back here.” After Lucifer walked away, Hao Cang made a hand gesture which ordered the butler to kill Zhao Yao.
Hao Cang was displeased with the attention Lucifer had showered him with. He thought, ”It is better to kill people like Zhao Yao.”
”I know,” The butler understood Hao Cang's intention, but he warned Hao Cang, ”Master if I bring along Ah Tao, there will be no one left at your side.”
