"Right." Inspector Ho finally got serious after hearing Xiao Shi Yu's reply and asked, "How is he today? Is he exceptionally bad-tempered today and did he do anything out of the ordinary?"
Shi Yu responded, "Zhao Yao did not do anything extraordinary today. He spends most of his time in the cat cafe playing online games. Other than the mysterious aura that is emitted from one of his cats, he did not use any of his other powers."
Inspector Ho asked in a serious tone. "Mysterious aura?... I remember you telling me about this before. What's the use of the aura?"
"The use of the aura?" Xiao Shi Yu knitted her eyebrows and answered, "I'm not that sure of its actual purpose but I'd say that it makes you feel really comfortable and relaxed."
"Comfortable?" Inspector Ho was intrigued by such a vague description and asked, "Other than feeling comfortable, are they any other uses?"
"It seems like I slept better these few days." Shi Yu replied.
"Oh." Inspector Ho seemed slightly disappointed as he nodded his face. "In that case, please continue to observe Zhao Yao's daily activities. As long as he doesn't go about wrecking havoc and killing people, you don't have to do anything to stop him. If the situation goes out of control, contact me immediately."
"Roger." Xiao Shi Yu continued," I've got to admit that the weird aura does make you feel very comfortable. With this energy emitted from his cat cafe, Zhao Yao's cat cafe business has seen a vast improvement these days."
However, it seemed like Inspector Ho wasn't interested in what Shi Yu was saying as he instructed, "Right, don't forget to watch out for your own safety. You don't have sufficient training and you don't have any superpowers. If you encounter a fight, run as far as you can. Never ever go in and try to be a hero, understood?"
"Yeah yeah I know. Do you really think that someone like me who is afraid of death would charge in like that?" Shi Yu laughed as she answered.
"Good, stay that way. Surviving is our only hope." Uncle Ho sighed and sounded like there was a tinge of sadness in his tone.
After speaking what he wanted to say, Uncle Ho hanged up. Xiao Shi Yu stared at the phone display and mumbled, "This old man... He's a decent leader after all."
She looked at the time and it was only 11.
"10 more hours to work tomorrow."
Somehow, Shi Yu was really looking forward to work tomorrow.
"Ahh, it really felt so comfortable."
...
Zhao Yao was rudely woken up from his sleep.
He opened his eyes and saw Matcha's entire body resting on his face; he was almost suffocated in his sleep.
Zhao Yai grabbed Matcha by the neck and hurled him away as Matcha backflipped and rolled several times on the bed. Miraculously, Matcha was still sound asleep and continued to snore loudly.
"What the... This guy snores louder than I do."
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes as Matcha slept like a dead log.
Normally, cats tend to be very vigilant animals. While they seem to sleep all day, most of the time they were just taking a quick shut-eye and would wake up in the slightest of movement. They only enter deep sleep for a few hours each day.
However, it clearly wasn't the case for Matcha. As an intelligent cat, Matcha does not stay vigilant when he is at home. Coupled with the fact that he spends most of the day staring at a phone display, it takes up a lot of his energy and makes him easily tired. In order to quickly energize himself, he would enter deep sleep.
Zhao Yao kicked Matcha on the head but Matcha responded by hugging his feet and licking it. Zhao Yao shook his leg and said, "Rise and shine, let's get ready for work."
Matcha stuck out his tongue and continued to sleep, showing no intention of waking up anytime soon.
Zhao Yao began rubbing Matcha's head, back, and butt in an effort to wake him up. However, after several minutes of shaking and rubbing, Matcha remains soundly asleep and snored even louder than before.
Zhao Yao tickled Matcha's white furry belly, rolled him a couple of times and Matcha still hasn't woken up.
Even after a backflip which resulted in Matcha landing flat on his belly, he continued to snore and refused to wake up.
"What the heck... What time did you stay up until last night..."
As Zhao Yao stared at Matcha's white furry belly and his motionless body, an idea flashed through his mind.
He picked up Matcha's phone, turned it on and clicked on the Mobile Legends application.
"timi~~~!!"
Upon hearing the sound of Mobile Legends being opened, Matcha's furry ears twitched a little.
As the home screen began to load, a majestic background music started to play out loud.
Accompanied by the sound of the music, Matcha's ears twitched rhythmically to the beat of the drums and suddenly he sat up and exclaimed, "All troops deployed!"
"You're finally awake?" Zhao Yao rubbed Matcha's confused looking head and said, "Go wash your face and get ready for work."
As Zhao Yao walked out of the bedroom, he was greeted by the sight of Baiquan mopping the floor with a mask on his face and an apron wrapped around his body. Baiquan greeted, "Morning boss! I've made some porridge for you in the kitchen. The salted egg and mustard are in the fridge so please help yourself."
Zhao Yao nodded delightfully and walked into the kitchen. He's glad to have invited Baiquan over to stay in his house. Ever since he moved in, Baiquan bathed in celestial beats daily and began to worship Zhao Yao for giving him such an opportunity. In order to express his gratitude, Baiquan volunteered to do all the housework by himself.
"Baiquan may look intimidating on the outside with his huge, bulky size but it turns out that he is really good at doing household chores."
Half an hour later, the supercats have already woken up, washed their face and ate their breakfast. Zhao Yao started his Panamera and drove them straight to the cat cafe.
On the way, Elizabeth sullenly asked, "Zhao Yao, why is the breakfast serving so small today? If I don't eat enough for breakfast, I'll have low blood sugar and it would affect my mood throughout the day."
Zhao Yao smiled and answered, "Elizabeth, hang in there for awhile, would you? I've brought in some kitty food and snacks into the shop. You can have some later."
As of now, Elizabeth is the trump card for the success of his cat cafe. Hence, Zhao Yao's attitude towards her had improved tremendously these days.
Matcha raised his paw and announced, "I would like some cat rice. I didn't drink much water yesterday so I wish to eat something moist..."
"Scram."
Roly Poly eavesdropped at a corner and thought to himself: 'How typical.'
"Look at how different he treated Matcha! Just because he doesn't have the ability to draw in customers..." Roly Poly thought. "Before Meow Gibson and his crew come to rescue me, I'll just have to sacrifice my ego and bite the bullet for the time being."
20 minutes later, they arrived at the town as the Panamera slowly came to a stop. However, it didn't stop at a parking lot in the carpark but instead, it stopped at a dead end with no surveillance camera.
Confused, Baiquan questioned, "Boss, aren't we parking in the carpark?"
"Carpark? No way, the parking fees are way too expensive. I don't have any more money to spend on transportation anymore. But I've thought of a solution."
Zhao Yao took out the palm-sized Dust Ball from his pocket and instructed, "Dust Ball, eat the car."
Roly Poly, Matcha and Elizabeth said in unison, "Stingy."
Dust Ball was lost for words for a moment and she snapped a second later. "Do you want me to die? How can I possibly eat such a big object! Can't you find a parking lot for yourself." Her sharp feminine voice echoed in their minds.
"Zhao Yao, this is too much. I'm fine with helping you to keep your wallet, phone, and clothes but a car now?? What am I to you?"
