402 The Interrogation ? (1/2)

The effects of the headless horseman's actions were far more outreaching than anyone could have imagined. Even the ordinary citizens started to poke their nose into it. After all, it's not every day that a building got destroyed overnight.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao could finally take a breather after saving Zhao Xue and the rest, but his job was not done yet. Ishida and Matsuo were still trapped inside his belly as they awaited his interrogation.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly felt his back muscles twitch. The pain was unmistakable. Someone had stabbed him in his back and had punctured his kidney.

Zhao Yao trembled with fury as he took a deep breath before sweeping his body around. He could literally feel his pulse slamming in his neck when he saw the culprit. It was none other than his disciple, Black Panther, who stood rooted to the ground with his usual silly expression.

However, something's not right. No one was supposed to see him since he was coated with Roly Poly's power of invisibility.

Black Panther looked down at his own hand with grimace as he spoke embarrassedly, ”Master Headless, are you there? I'm so sorry. It's because of my stupid power. It just forces me to stab my friends. I hope I didn't hurt you.”

Zhao Yao immediately revealed himself as he slid Black Panther an exasperated glance, ”What more do you want from me?”

Immediately, the grimace was wiped from his face as a radiant smile appeared, ”Master Headless! It's really you?”

”Just cut to the chase and tell me what you want. I'm busy. By the way, what did you just call me?”

”Master Headless! The police told me that your name is brainless, but I thought it was rather derogatory so I changed it to headless!” Suddenly, he began to run his fingers through his hair anxiously as a flush crept up his face, ”Master Headless, the reason why I came to Jiangmen City is to join you in your efforts to maintain peace and order in the nation. I want to be the modern Robin Hood!”

”Brainless?” Zhao Yao sniggered, ”Inspector Ho, that brat …” Zhao Yao eyed him from head to toe before saying, ”You should focus your energy on finding a good job instead of wasting your time on all these nonsense.” Before he even finished his statement, Zhao Yao's body had already disappeared from his sight, leaving Black Panther all alone in this foreign land.

Before he knew it, Black Panther had already activated his power once more as his razor-sharp dagger plunged into another victim's body.

”Ah!” Inspector Ho was overwhelmed with pain as he stumbled to the ground. He could not believe his eyes as he saw the hilt dangling from his belly, with a puddle of crimson-red blood accumulated on the ground. He screamed, ”Someone attacked the police!”

Suddenly, tens of pistols surrounded Black Panther with their muzzles pointing straight at him. They shouted in unison, ”Stop!”

Black Panther looked towards Inspector Ho with his brows slightly furrowed. He whispered, ”But he isn't even my friend.” Left with no options, Black Panther simply called for the only person who could possibly save him, ”Master Headless! Master Headless! I want to be the Robin to your Batman as we continue to uphold justice in the world! Let me join you as your disciple! I'm at XXXX!”

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was rolling on the floor as he struggled to restrain his roar of laughter. He muttered, ”And you thought your power of teleportation was good? It can never be as fast as my timefreeze!” Actually, Zhao Yao was the culprit behind this. When Black Panther was about to stab him, he immediately activated timefreeze before moving Inspector Ho to his original position.

Inspector Ho pressed against his wound in an effort to stop the bleeding. His face glistened with sweat as he slid Black Panther a hateful glare, ”You are so ruthless.”

The same innocent expression remained on Black Panther's face as he replied, ”I really had no intentions to stab you!”

After watching this hilarious show, Zhao Yao simply left his front-row seat as he made his way home. After a brief rest, he returned to his belly for his interrogation.

The scene inside the belly looked like a scene taken straight from the Game of Thrones series. Zhao Yao was resting on his 'iron throne' with Matcha resting in his arms as he raked his fingers slowly through his fur. Roly Poly was resting on his shoulder like a faux fur scarf, not forgetting to turn Zhao Yao's head invisible.

Meanwhile, Ishida was kneeling at the foot of his throne. The expression on his face struck the perfect balance between humbleness and regret.

Zhao Yao slipped him a curious glance before asking, ”Speak. Tell me everything that happened.”
