53 Divide and Conquer ?

Xiao Ming's expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice from the back of his head. He screamed in fear as he tried to escape from that person.

However before he managed to move, he was stopped by the person behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's me, what are you so afraid of?"

Jin Jia Jia turned around to see Zhao Yao with an annoyed look on his face.

Zhao Yao was equally shocked by this situation. In reality, he walked towards the both of them when the time froze which gave Xiao Ming such a big scare. However, Zhao Yao did not use his power at all, which meant that something happened to Matcha which triggered the power.

He thought, "How troublesome. It seems like it would be better if Matcha and I worked together for our future missions. If either of us went solo, our shared power might interfere and affect the other party."

Jin Jia Jia tilted her camera towards Zhao Yao and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, it's you! Did you come here to catch the devil cat too?"

Meanwhile, the live streaming site was flooded with comments again.

"Xiao Ming, you're a joke."

"Two hundred thousand people saw you bawling like a kid."

"Here comes the actor."

Xiao Ming gave an awkward smile as he asked Zhao Yao, "Master since you are here, does it mean that something is wrong with this place?"

Zhao Yao blinked and replied, "Hmm, there seems to be a small problem. You mentioned devil cat?"

Hence, Jin Jia Jia explained what she saw just now, "… within the blink of an eye, the LiHua cat had disappeared. It vanished into thin air. Isn't that the devil cat that you are trying to catch?"

After hearing Jia Jia's description, Zhao Yao knew that she was referring to Matcha and said, "Yeah, I think I'm looking for that cat."

Xiao Ming was in awe of Zhao Yao, and he requested, "Master, please let me help you. I'm quite familiar with this place."

Jia Jia added, "This mall belongs to Xiao Ming's family. This is his childhood playground."

Zhao Yao's expression immediately changed after hearing those words.

"The previous villa must have cost at least one to two hundred million RMB. This mall is situated within the central district which means that it cost at least a few billion RMB." Zhao Yao stared at Xiao Ming in astonishment.

"What the f*ck! Why do I feel like his entire body is coated in gold?"

"He is the real tycoon. Will he give me a pile of cash, worship me and even appoint me as an elder or something? He might even build a house for me. The previous villa seemed pretty comfortable."

After his daydream, Zhao Yao continued, "Alright, you guys can tag along. I'll take care of you."

Xiao Ming nodded his head excitedly. All this while, Xiao Ming's decision to participate in this supernatural adventure was because he wanted to learn some magic and spells from a master but not to find spirits and ghosts.

Hence, the three of them commenced their patrol, in search of the supercat.

…

Meanwhile, Matcha was running around the entire mall after he got rid of Jia Jia. Finally, he decided to take a break on a sofa.

He rolled around the sofa before he stopped to groom himself using his white paws. He then fished out his phone from his bag.

"Hmm, let's see how many of my friends left a like."

He was scrolling through his WeChat messages when he chanced upon Zhao Yao's message. His body froze, and there were chills down his spine.

"F*ck. Didn't I already block Zhao Yao on WeChat?" Match scratched his head and grumbled, "I'm finished. Once he finds me, he'll ask me where the source of my money is, and he will discover my stash of cash is with Roly Poly, and he will take all my money away from me."

"How? What am I supposed to do?"

Matcha was deep in thought as he regretted not blocking Zhao Yao on WeChat.

"No, calm down. Matcha, you have to calm down."

He began to lie down and licked the fur on his legs.

Grooming themselves was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable activity for cats. Doing so allowed Matcha to compose himself and think logically.

After rounds of frantic licking, Matcha was finally calm.

"Let me think…Hmm, I can just say that someone gave it to me."

"However, I must seal Roly Poly's mouth. I guess I'll just buy him some KFC chicken," Matcha shook his head and continued, "No, KFC is too expensive. I remember there was another fast food chain called OFC. The chickened seem similar, but it's way cheaper than KFC."

While he was contemplating what to bribe Roly Poly with, he suddenly noticed something different in front of him, "I remember there was a dustbin right here."

He blinked his eyes and turned his head around and stared at another patch of emptiness, "Hmm, there was a counter here."

Suddenly, Matcha fell to the floor with a loud thump as the sofa he was resting on disappeared.

"F*ck, who is it?" Matcha turned around to see both his bag and phone had been taken away.

"F*CK!" Matcha stood up with all his fur standing on end. He had a vicious look on his face as he continued, "I don't care who you are, but you have picked the wrong cat to mess with."

At the next moment, Matcha activated his power as a potted plant in front of him disappeared.

After freezing time, Matcha dashed towards the spot where the potted plant stood. He scanned the surrounding and spotted a small figure hiding behind a pillar.

However, Matcha spent too much time locating his enemy and time had resumed before he was able to capture it. The small figure had already run away.

"Stop running," Matcha shouted as he chased after the small figure, "Whoever who runs is a dog."

However, the small figure did not seem to understand Matcha's words as it burrowed its way into a clothing store.

If it were Zhao Yao giving chase, he would have lost track of the small figure because of all the obstacles in his way.

Even though Matcha was fatter than before, he still maintained his original agility and was able to keep up with the small figure. Matcha activated his power again after 6 seconds.

"As if I'll let you escape."
