”You understand me?” he asked in disbelief
Oh crap
He had only put on a tough act and spewed all that trash talk because he assumed the man would not understand a word
”Well, of course I can Why else would I be talking to you?” Zhao Yao responded casually
He casually steered the conversation back to the topic at hand, ”By stealing reat emotional and mental distress You'll have to compensate me for all of that, plus transportation,costs, and 108 other itee was stunned into silence
”Will you let us go if we pay you back?” he asked
”Of course,” Zhao Yao s his pearly whites, ”I, Zhao Yao, a as you coo”
The supercats glanced at each other They could not conceal the look of pleasant surprise on their faces They had assumed that they would be enslaved by thisof cats fall into the same trap that he once had
”I used to be as naive as they were I thought that I'll be off the hook one day But once you're on Zhao Yao's blacklist, you're never going back,” he e spoke up first, ”So how much do e you?”
Zhao Yao took a moment to think about it
”Well, let's e startled
”One billion?! How can it be one billion?!”
Zhao Yao waved a hand to sweep Rice Cake towards them with the deflective field
”Look,” he said,before them, ”Look at the terrible state she's in It's all thanks to you”
”But,” Cat Sage began, eyeing the desolate, little cat, ”We've not done anything to her”
”Yes, you have This is e kitten's eain,” Zhao Yao explained, ”Rice Cake is like a daughter to hter to a lunatic Do you kno much that has hurt her? Do you kno much pain you have caused me?”
Matcha jumped in and added, ”Rice Cake is Zhao Yao's most beloved cat You have no idea howEvery day, he would ith tears strea down his face He could not eat, drink, or even pee…”
Matcha knew that once Zhao Yao was done here, his head would be next on the chopping board He had to find ways to lighten his punishment somehow
”Yes, yes,” Zhao Yao said ih I don't need you to share soe muttered
”So,” Zhao Yao continued, ”To be frank, you deserve to be minced into bits for what you've done to Rice Cake However, I can't bear to do that You are Rice Cake's brother after all Can you see the dilemma you've put me in?”
”He is in sohis paw on Zhao Yao's calf, ”It hurts hiht as well have stabbed hiht not look like it, but he's on the verge of a ed Matcha away his foot while speaking to hi it Geez”
Matcha batted his eyelids at hi to help,” he said fawningly
It worked Cat Sage was beginning to feel uneasy and a tad guilty about the little cat's plight
”But we really don't have so much money,” he said honestly
”Well, we can't force you to give us ive us this island then”
Cat Sage was flabbergasted
”But… But this is our hoave you the island, where would we live?”

Matcha called out to hi you stay here rent-free Do you kno expensive rent is now? He's doing all of you a huge favor”
Deep in his gut, Cat Sage felt that so able to live on so, no?
Hesitantly, he said, ”Oh… Thank you”
