460 456 Choice ? (1/2)
After sending away all the supercats that wanted to leave, those that were left over included those who were originally there. There were approximately 50 of them, inclusive of Ares and the rest.
It was much more manageable to take care of them. The supercat which was hidden by Faceless and had life preserving abilities was among them.
As he looked at him gaming on the xbox with a serious expression, Zhao Yao felt like he was staying put in the extradimensional belly for the games.
Speaking of which, the ability of this supercat seemed to be the most effective among those under the control of Faceless. It was a spotless defence as all attacks could be directed to beneath his feet. As long as his feet were placed on something, he would not get hit. It was no wonder that Faceless hid him.
After sending off the supercats, Zhao Yao appeared beside Faceless. He looked at Faceless expressionless.
Faceless felt a tinge of panic while being looked at. He had already removed his mask and was wearing ordinary attire. He looked to be over thirty and was just like any ordinary employee of a company. He seemed to have lost the aura he previously had as the leader of the Mao Gang.
Zhao Yao looked at him and spoke, ”I shall give you two choices. First, I let you go but you must wash away your memory of the past 24 hours.”
Caesar was the one who was able to cleanse memory. This father ragdoll was able to cleanse the past 24 hours of a person's memory in his or her dream.
After listening to Zhao Yao, Faceless revealed a bitter expression. If he was to be let out now, there wasn't going to be a beneficial result. He would likely be captured and locked up for the rest of his life. In addition, if his recent 24 hours of memory was erased, he wouldn't be left with a single ability. His worth would plummet and besides a lifetime jail sentence, there wasn't an alternative.
Hence, Faceless looked at Zhao Yao attentively as he awaited the second option.
Zhao Yao spoke, ”The second option is that you stay here and take care of the cats. But because of what you did in the past, resulting in dire consequences for the society, seriously damaging the relations of the people. These were irreversible damages and hence by staying here, it will be a lifetime stay.”
Faceless took a deep breath. Even though he knew he did not have any other choice but when he really heard it, he was still bitter.
But on the flip side, he wouldn't be beaten to death and he heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ”Alright, start choosing…”
Faceless revealed an expression of serious deliberation and the entanglement in his heart reached the peak. Zhao Yao looked at the clock and said, ”You have 5 minutes. There's no need to rush, think it through slowly.”
Faceless had a persistent gaze as he answered Zhao Yao, ”I choose to stay here.”
”Oh?” Zhao Yao looked at him and continued, ”Let me remind you, if you think that you have a chance of escaping by staying here or even borrow the abilities of the cats, you are overthinking. You will only be allowed to stay in this space to work.”
”Rest assured, I don't have other intentions.” Faceless replied, ”If I was to leave and be apprehended, I'm dead. Many people would want that. It's pretty good that I can stay here and take care of the cats for the rest of my life too.”
He looked at Faceless' dispirited face and nodded, ”That's alright, let me remind you again, your decision is final.”
”I won't regret.” Faceless said, ”I have understood your strength after the past few days. I wouldn't be so foolish as to do otherwise.”
Zhao Yao relaxed his shoulders and suddenly snapped, ”Matsuo.”
