435 Wealth! Money! Fortune! ? (1/2)

Red Packet's eyes were riveted to the obnoxious Centipede as he muttered with a sigh of despair, ”D*mn it! To be captured by a barbarian with no brain is truly the worst situation. We're dead!”

The two cats could only sit obediently in the van as the vehicle traversed across a bumpy terrain before coming to a stop in a secluded town.

With the two electric collars in place, Centipede was not the least bit worried about the cats escaping. Hence, they led them down the van, towards a dilapidated building.

With one strong kick, the tattered doors had swung open, revealing a giant wooden plank. Crouching beneath this plank, they saw an extremely long staircase leading into an abyss of darkness.

Red Packet's eyebrows furrowed slightly at this scene as he whispered, ”What a careful fella.”

They carefully made their way down the precarious stairway only to be flabbergasted by the scene before them. The size of the underground bunker had far exceeded what Red Packet had imagined.

What lay before them was a giant prison with up to hundreds of cats housed within it. This monstrous prison was subdivided into hundreds of individual prison cells, bounded by steel bars the size of a human thumb. Each prison cell was also equipped with an individual toilet, water, and some cat food.

The stench of 100 cat toilets squeezed within such a tiny space proved too much for Red Packet to handle. He literally felt himself suffocating from the foul smell as tears welled up in his eyes.

These imprisoned cats' eyes were filled with both fear and desperation. The presence of these two newcomers failed to elicit any sort of response from them as they simply stared blankly into their surroundings.

This prison was surrounded by tens of muscular blokes. Evidently, they were responsible for the security in this place. They raised their heads in unison before shooting Centipede a reassuring nod.

”Centipede, managed to grab hold of another two cats?”

”Aren't you lucky? But what's wrong with that one? Why is it all bald?”

Centipede simply responded by giving a dismissive wave of his hand before leading the group further down the underground bunker.

At the far end of the prison, stood a few cats tied up to a beam behind them. In front of them stood a fatso with a cat o' nine tails dangling by his hand. He cocked his body back before unleashing a ferocious whip against the cats. Immediately, their screams echoed down the long corridor.

”Who told you to escape?”

”I've already told you umpteen times! It's either we sell you or you die here!”

Both of them barely managed to bit back their scream as they witnessed this atrocity occur in front of them.

Lightning was regretting his stupid decision, ”D*mn it! Why did I choose to escape? Isn't it better to just stay in Zhao Yao's apartment? At most, he would only trample on my dignity but these crazy guys are literally torturing them!”

Red Packet's paws clenched into a hard fist as he muttered, ”Zhao Yao, please don't fail us. You have to find us soon! I'm afraid I would have already turned into a dead cat by the time you're here.”

The fatso, responsible for the despicable torture, noticed Centipede's arrival and welcomed him with a radiant smile, ”Hey, I thought you went out for the King of the Pallas's cat? How is it? Did you manage to catch it?”

Centipede's voice began to shake with anger, ”Wild boar, stop gloating over my predicament. If I fail to capture it, I'm not the only one boss will be going after. Even you will get implicated.”

”Hey, calm down! It was just a joke!” Wild Boar casually tossed the whip into a corner before sprinting towards Centipede. He noticed the two newcomers behind him as a devious smile spread across his face, ”Take a look at these new cats! Oh, what happened to this one here? Why is it all bald?”

Centipede responded with some stupid reason before entrusting the two cats into his arms, ”Interrogate the both of them and find out what kind of power they're hiding. I hope they would be able to at least appease boss for now.”

This fat man, who was commonly referred to as Wild Boar, was the interrogator of this organization. As an apostle, he had the power to authenticate the truthfulness of one's words. No lies could possibly go past him undetected. Hence, he and his supercat had come together to form the perfect interrogation duo.

Thus, all cats captured by Centipede would first have to go through Wild Boar to validate their power and value. If they were just another run-of-the-mill cat, they would simply be tossed into the previous cat prison.

If they possessed of an unheard of power, this information would immediately be relayed to their boss. Then, they would be thrown into another secret prison, which was hidden further underground.
