441 The First Encounter ? (1/2)
”Just relax! It's not that bad even if they are really captured by Mao Gao. After all, I have visited their bases quite a few times.
Mao Gang takes extra good care of all the supercats that they have captured. The hospitality which they provide is truly divine. Actually, you can just treat this as a shelter for the supercats. I mean their main objective is to find these supercats a new, dependable owner. If their powers are too tricky for an ordinary apostle to handle, they'll simply hand it over to us.
I'm 100% sure that your cats are enjoying every second spent in their base. I promise you, there won't be a single problem. However, we are still dealing with supercats, hence it is inevitable for them to collect some sort of commission if they hand it over to us.”
Obviously, Ye Mei was clueless about all the clandestine dealings Mao Gang had done behind her back. In reality, Mao Gang had already gradually slipped from the government's tight grasp, making them completely uncontrollable.
This was only possible because of the abundance of supercats strewn all across the world. Consequently, the government had to dilute their resources by dispatching their personnel all over the nation. This provided Mao Gang the golden opportunity to wreak havoc right under their noses.
The rapid expansion of the organization only managed to fed their leader, Faceless's, hunger for greater domination. He only wanted one thing\ – to eventually rule over the entire world.
Zhao Yao could only nod his head to Y Mei's resolute tone, ”I really do hope that this is the truth.”
Ye Mei's eyes swerved towards her phone as she commented, ”Let's go. I've already booked a meeting with them at the city center.”
This was the most opulent restaurant one could possibly imagine. Sat next to the most luxurious table was Faceless who was carefully dissecting the slab of cote de boeuf before him.
The surrounding tables were all empty. Instead of customers, the restaurant was occupied by 20 odd bodyguards, carefully positioned around Faceless. All of them were easily as big as Shaquille O'Neal. Evidently, Faceless had booked the entire restaurant. However, that wasn't his only layer of defense. Carefully stashed in the corners were his personal apostle guards.
After all, this apostle army was supposed to be a secret. Other than the core members of Mao Gang, all those who had learned about the army's existence had been sent to the afterlife.
Another chunk of premium meat slid down Faceless's throat as he experienced the explosion of flavors dancing down his tongue. A contented glee crept up his face. Suddenly, a bodyguard approached him discreetly before whispering something into his ears, ”Boss, Ye Mei, and her friend have arrived.”
There was no change to Faceless's expression as he replied, ”Let them in.”
Currently, Ye Mei and Zhao Yao found themselves at the magnificent entrance leading into the restaurant. Ye Mei instructed, ”Just keep your mouth shut as much as possible. I will do the talking. Don't worry. I'll get your cats back.”
Zhao Yao responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
Two tuxedo-clad bodyguards emerged from the huge doors before escorting them in. Ye Mei's lips immediately curled into a huge grin as she approached Faceless, ”Boss Wu, I'm so sorry for troubling you over such a small matter. My friend here lost his two cats and we tracked them all the way to XX Gobi desert. Can you help me ask around and check? Maybe, one of your subordinates accidentally caught them? Or maybe a pesky thief might be lurking around, stealing cats from your territory!”
”Oh,” Faceless's piercing eyes began to scrutinize Zhao Yao as he spoke, ”Take a seat. We have a renowned French chef with us today. This beef is splendid. Would you like one?”
Ye Mei immediately forced Zhao Yao's rigid body into the seat and responded, ”Thank you so much but we have already eaten. As for the two supercats …”
”Ah Huang!” Faceless's thunderous voice bellowed. A muscular man dashed towards Faceless as he delivered his instructions, ”I want you to follow up on this matter. If the cats are really with us, I want them to be returned to their rightful owner.”
”Yes.”
