Chapter 123: Chapter 123

Suddenly, a thought flashed pass Zhao Yao’s mind. “Does that mean that I can give myself some muscles as well?” He recalled the muscle armor used by one of the Masters at Xiao Ming’s house and figured that he could give himself a muscle armor through his illusion too.

Zhao Yao started to work on Matcha’s ears. He snipped off two corners of the beanie and pulled his ears out of the holes.

“I’ll fold the ears and remember how they are folded. In future, I’ll fold them the same way to complement the illusion.”

Matcha said, “Everyone in the George family is born a Scottish Fold. My ears will always fold the same way today or tomorrow.”

Zhao Yao completely ignored the nonsense that came out of Matcha’s mouth and pulled his ears with force. Matcha yelled in pain, “Ah ahh ahhh!! Be gentle, please! Ah ahhh! It’s about to snap, my poor ear is about to break off!”

“Then you better fold your ears properly.”

Zhao Yao continued to touch Matcha’s ears as he attempted to make them look shorter. With one sweep of Zhao Yao’s hand, Matcha’s orange fur looked thicker and longer.

Spirit cat was there to observe Matcha’s gradual transformation and was green with envy. “What a convenient power. To be frank, I’m getting sick of my color. I suppose his powers can give me a change of color? I think I’ll look dashing if I had silver fur.”

Zhao Yao was finally finished with Matcha’s new skin and said, “Alright, we’re done here. Open your eyes and have a look at yourself.”

Matcha went towards the mirror and looked at himself. He had turned into an adorable orange Scottish Fold.

However, Matcha seemed unsatisfied as he commented, “Why don’t I have wings? Poorly done…”

Zhao Yao slapped Matcha on the head and replied, “Dream on.”

Zhao Yao continued to create illusions for all the cats in the cafe all the way till 3 am in the morning. By the time he was done, Matcha was already hugging his phone to sleep.

Every cat in the cafe had their very own illusions with the exception of Elizabeth who was already adorable enough. However, he could only sustain all those illusions for a short period of time and deactivated them shortly after.

“So troublesome… The number of details that I have to picture in my mind and the time I need to sustain all these illusions. Even with my powers, it is very tiring.” Zhao Yao thought to himself. His brain was completely exhausted from all that imagination.

Zhao Yao’s guess was right. He definitely could not sustain long enough to give every single cat a skin every day. He figured that he could only sustain the illusions for a day at most before he reached his limits.

Zhao Yao yawned and unknowingly dozed off on the table.

The cat cafe continued to operate its business as per usual for the next two days. This time, there was a poster outside the cafe which advertised the upcoming Star Cats’ Night. It was advertised that there would be a group of special cats coming into the cat cafe on Saturday night and that business hours would extend till 8 pm in the night.

Xiao Shu Yu asked Zhao Yao out of curiosity, “How do you plan to get so many different types of cats? Do you need me to call Uncle Ho for help? I reckon he could lend us some help.”

“Save the trouble.” Zhao Yao smiled mysteriously to himself. “Oh right, pass these flyers to the two rascals when they come back and get them to distribute.”

Shi Yu read the contents of the flyer and was surprised to see pictures of Ragdolls, Leopard Cats, and Siamese Cats printed on it. She became even more curious and wondered how Zhao Yao managed to get hold of these cats.

Ever since she got herself involved with supercats, Xiao Shi Yu had spent some time researching on different breeds of cats.

The cats featured on the poster were all exquisite breeds; it wasn’t going to be easy to borrow them for a night, let alone buy them.

Tianhe Royal Court, 42nd Mansion

Ho Hao Cang sat on the sofa as he closed his eyes and took in deep breaths.

A white Persian with a pair of mandarin eyes laid quietly in Hao Cang’s arms as it used its paws to press on Hao Cang’s phone display.

Hao Cang seemed to notice some movement and opened his eyes to see what was going on. He looked at the Persian and asked, “What’s the matter, Ares?”

Ares typed on the phone.

‘Can we go out for a walk? I’m getting bored of staying in the house.’

Hao Cang had always doted on Ares. He replied as he stroked Ares’s head, “It’s way too dangerous for you guys to go outside. It’s best to stay at home.”

“Then why did Nekomata go out?”

Ho Hao Cang frowned and responded in a slightly irritated tone, “Nekomata simply refused to listen. Why do you ask? Do you want to be like Nekomata?”

“In that case, can I have a laptop or a mobile phone?”

Hao Cang answered, “Why would you ask for a phone now?”

Ares explained, “I heard from the helpers that there are lots of things on the internet. I would love to have a look.”

“Don’t listen to them. There are lots of nasty things on the web and they will only be a bad influence on you. Ares, you just have to stay at home obediently, I’ll be here to protect you.”

Just as Ho Hao Cang and Ares were in the midst of a conversation, a teenaged boy with rainbow-dyed hair and an introverted middle-aged man wearing black frame glasses appeared in front of Ho Hao Cang.

The two of them treated Hao Cang with utmost respect; they stood in front of him like a servant waiting for their master to acknowledge their presence.

They were once rescued by Hao Cang from a group of strong men. After witnessing how formidable and impressive Hao Cang’s skills were, they highly respected Hao Cang ever since and couldn’t help but feel indebted to him.

Ho Hao Cang glanced at the two of them and spoke, “I assume you guys were already informed beforehand.”

Bully nodded his head and giggled, “Rest assured, Master Ho. Hehe… We will show that kid just how strong we are.”

“I didn’t tell you to hurt him right away.” Ho Hao Cang curled his lips and snapped. “If he is cooperative, bring him over to our mansion. But if he retaliates, snatch the cats from him and come back immediately. Understand?”

The supercats were his top priority. As long as the other party had possession of the supercats, it meant that he still owned their powers. It might be difficult to find apostles but to Ho Hao Cang, it wasn’t a problem at all.

He might have lost a total of four apostles so far but he still had possession of the supercats who granted them their powers. Even now, he was still able to summon the two guys in front of him to do his bidding.

As the two of them turned around to leave, Ho Hao Cang picked up a phone call. His face changed completely as he frowned.

He hung up on the phone and instructed, “Hold on you two. Don’t go first.”

Just half an hour ago, a series of explosions blew up a cruise ship which was sailing on the eastern sea of Jiangmen City. It had been speculated that it was the doing of foreign apostles.

Such destruction caused by foreign parties could have possibly led to international disputes. The tension was building up on the domestic side and in response, the incident was immediately reported to the higher-ups.

Martial law had been imposed on Jiangmen City as it entered a ‘high-alert’ state and exercised strict management towards incidents regarding the apostles.

Hao Cang’s family called him to dissuade him from doing anything rash. They wanted him to stay low for the time being in order to stay out of trouble; it would be foolish and irresponsible of him if he chose to stir up trouble.

He sighed as he leaned back on his sofa, “Pfft, lucky him.”

“Let’s wait for the suspension of martial law.”
