483 Wolfs Howl ? (1/2)

With his superpowers restored, it did not take long for William to round up Cheese, Kimchi, and the other cats. He knocked them unconscious in one swift move and tied them securely to his back with metal wire.

Xiao Yu was not paying any attention to how he subdued the cats. Instead, her eyes were trained on Zhao Yao. In a matter of minutes, he had somehow managed to get a stranger to transfer USD 3.5 million into his bank account.

In her eyes, that made him a legend.

”My dearest Zhao Yao, remember how I coddled you when you were a child?” she started.

The hairs on his arms and the back of neck stood on their ends.

”I remember you peeing on me when you were an infant,” he retorted in a deadpan voice.

Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes momentarily, but her face broke into a grin again.

”How about I give you Noodle and Fish Ball and you teach me how to earn money so quickly?” she proposed earnestly.

Zhao Yao turned to her and glared. ”Earn money? What's the point of having so much money? Take it from me - once you've accumulated a certain amount of wealth, money is nothing more than a string of numbers. My biggest regret is to earn so much of it.”

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes in response, ”Why don't you transfer that money to me then?”

”Sure,” Zhao Yao said, fishing for his phone to start the transfer.

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up like stars in the night sky. She squeezed his forearm in joy.

”Good boy! I've not doted on you for nothing,” she beamed.

She stared at the screen on his phone as he entered a long string of zeros into the text box. She was so excited by now that her face was flushed and her heart was thumping against her chest. All of this came to a standstill when Zhao Yao transferred the money to his own WeChat account and not hers.

”Zhao Yao, that's not my account!” she protested loudly.

”Oops, too late. I've already made the transfer.”

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth in anger. Zhao Yao ignored the rage that was rolling off her. His thoughts were happily latched onto the influx of money that had poured into his WeChat account.

He knew that he had milked William for his worth, so he decided to end the quest.

Altogether, he had received USD 2.5 million + USD 1.5 million, which totaled to an impressive 7,000*2 experience points. These points were instantly added to his Book, which became Level 6 (38,262 / 20,000).

Zhao Yao could have jumped for joy.

”The life of a conman is a profitable one. This is so much easier than having to fight supercats and catch the bad guys,” he thought.

With Cheese and the other supercats defeated, William was unsure about what to do next. Loud rumbling and regular blasts were still coming from the woods. It was obvious that the dragon had not got its claws on the meteorite fragment yet.

William very much wanted to join in and snatch the fragment before the dragon could. However, he was not confident that his temporary skills could last that long.

This thought had barely crossed his mind when an update appeared on god_system's mission panel.

”Defeat the dragon and get the permanent version as a reward.”

William's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

”I'll just take a look. If I can't handle it, I'll take the unconscious cats and run. If I can…”

He let out a few deep breaths before sprinting into the forest.
