Chapter 569: Banquet Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the banquet hall, both humans and supercats were strolling around.
For the upper echelon of Japanese society, supercats were no longer a secret. Most of the wedding guests were already aware of their existence, so they were not taken aback by the presence of the supercats.
In fact, for the world’s top 5%, possessing a powerful supercat was a bragging right. Because of this, the rich used any means they could to obtain one.
Observing the lively banquet hall scene, especially the beautiful and elegant supercats, excited Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning, who were at the top of the supercat armor.
Fish Ball pointed to a strolling Ragdoll cat that had a raised tail and said, “Look at that broad! She’s so hot. I want to sleep with her.”
Lightning squinted his eyes and said, “I bet ten dollars you can’t get her.”
Matcha said with a thick-skin, “Fish Ball, once you’ve got her, could you introduce her to me?”
After a heated discussion amongst the three cats, Fish Ball sighed, “Even if I wanted to, I am unable to do so. Zhao Yao wanted us to stay close and protect him. There’s no time for skirt chasing.”
Matcha patted his chest and said, “Leave Zhao Yao to me.”
Of course, their conversation was done privately in their minds so no one could hear it.
Under the admiring looks of Fish Ball and Lightning, Matcha climbed on Zhao Yao’s shoulders, leaned to his ear and said, “Zhao Yao, we are going to help you gather intelligence. Let’s see what these Japanese cats are up to.”
Zhao Yao glanced at Matcha condescendingly, “You are able to gather intelligence? I am afraid that you’d be giving our information away instead.”
Matcha immediately shouted, “How come? I had been through many battles with you—pitted against killer cats, lost to cat thieves, punched multi-level marketers, kicked cat smugglers. How can you not trust me?”
“Silly boy.” Zhao Yao caressed Matcha and said, “It is not that I do not trust you, I do not trust your intelligence. Remember, it has been professionally tested. Just stay by my side. There are a lot of bad cats outside, you will be easily duped if you go.”
“Zhao Yao, didn’t you want me to go on a diet?” Matcha immediately retorted, “If you let the three of us gather intelligence, I will diet once we return back to our country.”
Zhao Yao was slightly piqued, however, he replied, “Your dieting is not for me but for yourself.”
“Got it.” Matcha looked at Zhao Yao with a puppy face, both paws clasped together in a prayer-like position and begged, “Please Zhao Yao, agree to this and I will seriously go on a diet. Only regular meals and no snacks. No stealing of food from others and no secret night suppers.”
Seeing Matcha’s puppy face, Zhao Yao frowned. “Okay, okay, go and play.” The supercat armor was still a formidable force even if it lacked Matcha, Lightning, and Fish Ball. Moreover, Sphynx cat was on standby in the Extradimensional Belly.
Matcha shouted in excitement. The next moment, Matcha ran off with Fish Ball and Lightning in a flash.
The three cats secretly trailed behind the previously targeted Ragdoll cat. Lightning cajoled, “Go ahead Fish Ball. I raise the stake to fifty dollars. You won’t be able to get her.”
Matcha said excitedly, “Fish Ball, do you think she likes me? I think she just looked at me just now.”
“Pooh, pooh.” Fish Ball spat twice on his paw and started combing his head fur with his front paw. After finally combing it into place, he walked towards the Ragdoll cat.
“Greetings, I am Bond, James Bond.” Fish Ball leaned his paw against the wall by the lady’s side and smiled without restraint. “Interested in having a drink with me?”
“Trash.” The Ragdoll cat glared at him with disdain and said, “Open your dog eyes and look at yourself. You’re just a tomcat.” The Ragdoll cat turned around, fiercely swiped her large furry tail on Fish Ball’s body and left without looking back.
“Ah?” Fish Ball sniffed hard a few times and said in shock, “Really, a tomcat?”
Zhao Yao stood at a distance observing the three cats for a short while. The commotion on the other side of the room quickly drew his attention.
He saw Kaede Hattori walk in. Along his path, many influential elites and apostles tried to engage in small talk with him, but he only showed a blank face. Those who quietly surrounded Kaede Hattori were transfixed by the Divine Rays of Terror, unable to muster the courage to take a step forward.
With the arrival of Kaede Hattori, the temperature of the banquet hall seemed to drop. As if the banquet hall was invaded by a flood of wild beasts the sounds of chattering slowly dissipated.
Hideki Kujyo, who was watching the scene, frowned slightly and said, “The Divine Rays of Terror have become more terrifying.”
By his side, a middle-aged samurai-clad man smiled and said, “That has piqued my interest even more.”
Hideki Kujyo looked at the samurai and kept quiet. This samurai, who was frequently with Hideki Kujyo, was Japan’s current top samurai and master swordsman, Kazuhiko Yagyu. Prior to the awakening of superpowers, Kazuhiko Yagyu was already a famous martial artist in Japan.
In the supernatural realm, he had another alias— Kensei Yagyu. He was the apostle that mastered the shadow superpower. He was previously recognized as being on the same level as Kaede Hattori, one of the top apostles in Japan.
Zhao Yao had defeated a couple apostles under Kazuhiko Yagyu.
After defeating the Spirit Army and taking control of Special Higher Police, Kaede Hattori was no longer one of the top apostles in Japan. He was the top apostle.
At this moment, Kensei Yagyu gazed at Kaede Hattori without any fear. The gaze exuded a fiery desire for battle.
Hideki Kujyo, who was by his side, said lightly, “Do not act rashly, Master Yagyu. You will have a chance at a fair duel with him this time.”
Kensei Yagyu opened his mouth, revealing his teeth like a ferocious beast bears a cruel smile.
“Looking forward to it.”
At this instance, Hideki Kujyo’s brow quivered slightly. Kensei Yagyu looked in the direction of his gaze and discovered the distant Zhao Yao.
Kensei Yagyu said, “Oh? Why is the Chinese man here?”
Hideki Kujyo frowned, “Must be Nanako who gave him the invitation card. He is like a ghost that cannot be exorcized.”
Kensei Yagyu laughed and said, “Maybe his eyes are on the Kujyo fortune. Need my help to finish him off? During the battle, it will be a convenient affair.”
Hideki Kujyo hardened his face and said, “I’m counting on you.”
“A small convenient matter…” Kensei Yagyu stroked his sparse goatee on his lower chin and said, “I remember… my disciple was defeated by him.”
Kensei Yagyu had had three disciples who were vanquished in China. One of them was defeated on the way to Zhao Yao’s house to find Nanako. The next one was embroiled in a loan-sharking incident. The last one was remanded by the Chinese government at a supercat auction.
