“Dust Ball, I am truly disappointed in you.” Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand before pinning her down with his intense glare, “From today onwards, no more catmint for you.”

“What?” Dust Ball felt breathless when she heard it, “Zhao Yao, no …”

“Stop explaining yourself. I will only allow you to continue when you display sufficient self-restraint. Just take a look at yourself. You don’t even look like a cat. When was the last time you groomed yourself?”

At the same time, an extradimensional belly gate had spiraled behind Dust Ball. The invisible deflective field started tugging at her before hurling her into it.

Next, Zhao Yao expelled every single ounce of catmint within the belly before fixing his death glare back at Dust Ball, “Use this time to reflect on your actions. From now on, you need to learn to live without catmint.”

After settling Dust Ball, Zhao Yao immediately went on his feet as a flurry of thoughts rushed through his head, “Lightning that fella definitely wouldn’t have the guts to do this. It must be because of Red Packet, that sly little cat.”

With that, Zhao Yao had already extended his hand towards Roly Poly before grabbing him by his fat neck, “Roly Poly, come with me. It’s time to bring those two scums back.”

Roly Poly’s body slight reacted with a slight shudder. However, that same deadpan look remained printed on his face. Actually, he was bursting with joy, “Meowhaha, it’s finally time for me, Roly Poly, to show the world what I am made of!”

With Roly Poly’s power in effect, the invisible duo leaped out of their windows. Instantly, the deflective field had already wrapped around them, slowing their fall to a graceful descent. They had already reached the grass patch where Lightning and Red Packet were last seen at.

Zhao Yao immediately crouched against the bed of weeds before taking in a deep breath, “Hmph, their smell still lingers around here. However, under such circumstances …”

Even though Zhao Yao could still make out the faint smell left behind by them, the scent was so subtle that it was almost useless to him. Hence, Zhao Yao could only resort to someone else for this particular task.

With his mouth stretched open, a muscular Sphynx Cat bounced straight out from it. With just one paw pressing against the ground, you could already notice the cracks emerging along the soil and the creaking sound rumbling in your ears.

Sphynx Cat seemed completely annoyed by Zhao Yao and asked, “What’s the matter? I was just in the midst of my training.”

Hence, Zhao Yao told him about the supposed mutiny and asked, “Can you detect those two pesky cats’ scent?”

After months of relentless training, Sphynx Cat’s sensory acuity had far surpassed that of any biological creatures. Naturally, his sense of smell was even more sensitive than Zhao Yao’s. His nostrils flared slightly as he commented, “There.”

Following quickly behind him, the trio sped down the alley at warp speed. In less than 20 minutes, they found themselves standing next to the entrance to a sewage system.

Suddenly, a line began to etch across Sphynx cat’s forehead as he muttered, “They met quite a few cats down here. There are too many scents. It’s a bit confusing. I need some time to differentiate between them …”

Zhao Yao raised his head and noticed a stray cat lying comfortably within an empty box. Hence, he instructed Roly Poly to lift his power as he approached the stray cat with a friendly smile. Immediately, the cat noticed this foreign presence and shot Zhao Yao a condescending glare.

With that same friendly smile, Zhao Yao squatted next to it and asked, “Hey, are you a supercat?”

The stray cat continued eyeing Zhao Yao down with that same look but refused to reply.

Zhao Yao continued, “You can drop your pretense. I need your help with some information. Yesterday, there should be a pair of Pallas’s cat and orange cat walking past here. Did you happen to see them?”

While Zhao Yao was in the midst of his questioning, he felt a paw tapping frantically against his shoulder, “Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!”

Zhao Yao turned his body around and he strained his eyes towards the dark sewer. Immediately, pairs of yellow and green eyes illuminated the mysterious place. They definitely were not the least bit friendly.

The cat, which Zhao Yao had attempted to question, simply instructed coolly, “Get this man out of here.”

…

Meanwhile, Lightning and Red Packet had flown all the way to the beautiful city of Ürümqi. As planned, dedicated personnel had come to receive them as they escaped through an underground tunnel.

This was no ordinary tunnel. It was flooding with cats. Evidently, they were either preparing to take off or had just landed.

Lightning stared in amazement at this amazing scene. Some cats had even set up stalls there, selling all sorts of merchandise, while others were promoting their delivery business.

Currently, Lightning and Red Packet found themselves in the middle of a cat street, which was located next to an airport. It was teeming with all sorts of supercats and apostles.

Red Packet look around this bustling scene with a look of disdain before saying, “Alright, I’ll just cut to the chase. We shall separate from now on. You can go wherever you wish to while I’ll be going to Hong Kong.”

The pit of Lightning’s stomach fell as those words echoed in his head. Immediately, he pounced onto Red Packet’s hind legs and begged, “Red Packet, you promised me that you would accompany me to the grasslands!”

Red Packet simply responded with an indifferent stare and explained, “Why did you believe in all the b*llshit that I said? Who would even want to go to that godforsaken place where there’s no wifi, no electricity, no nothing!”

Disappointment sagged through Lightning’s face as he watched his comrade disappeared amidst the sea of cats, “Hmph, I thought you would be interested in mining all those gold with me …”

Suddenly, Red Packet’s ears jolted upright as he swept his head around, “What did you just say?”

Lightning was tugging at his earlobe as he explained, “Goldmine. There is a goldmine situated right beside my home. Initially, I thought you would be interested in it. After all, you are such a resourceful cat. You definitely have some tricks up your sleeves to extract all these gold. However, I will not force you since you have no interest in this barren land …”

Red Packet was already trembling with excitement, “There is a gold mine? Is this the effect of my power? It definitely is! After all these bad luck, it’s finally time to enjoy the good luck! It’s my time to strike gold! Alright, alright, I must calm down. With the wealth accumulated from this place, I can bring them over to Hong Kong and instantly turn myself into the richest cat alive!”

Red Packet was extremely confident in his power. This explained his firm conviction that it was only a matter of time before he struck gold. Immediately, he threw his paws around Lightning’s shoulder and clarified, “Who told you that I disliked the grassland? I love gold mines, I mean I love the grasslands! Ever since I was young, I’ve been dreaming of this place, sprinting down those glorious fields. My childhood ambition was to become the king of the grasslands!”

Joy bubbled up inside Lightning as he screamed, “Really?”

“Of course! By the way, what is the approximate location of this gold mine?”

Hence, the duo spent their next half an hour purchasing their expedition supplies along Cat Street. This was Red Packet’s one-way ticket to unimaginable wealth.

Suddenly, they were inundated with mouth-watering scents which came in all directions.

Since the day the supercats were awoken, their behavior amongst themselves had started to mirror those shared among humans. Gradually, they realized the importance of money in a civilized society. Hence, groups of supercats came together to form the market which they currently found themselves in.

This cat street was simply a microcosm of the world of supercats. Places similar to these could be found in every major city. They were filled with supercats and apostles interested in starting a business. The only difference was the scale of these markets.

“Roasted cat food! The most authentic roasted cat food you can ever find in China!”

“Take a look at the freshest mutton that you would ever see! Zero preservatives added! All natural!”

“Take a look at these premium imported canned food!”

“Bro, my female cats are all imported from England, Japan, and even the United States! Just look at their fur! Look at how beautiful they are! Come and take a look!”

Lightning felt a magnetic force pulling him towards those ravishing female cats when he felt a strong tug at his neck, “Stop running around. The stuff that we are looking for isn’t here.”

Under Red Packet’s command, they had bought a haversack, a water bottle, a hat and bags of cat food. These were essential for their survival.
