114 Young Dumb & Broke ?

Seeing the number of customers in the café, Zhao Yao gave up the thought of getting into a full-blown fight against Hao Cang.

Zhao Yao pondered over the words Hao Cang just said and shook his head, "This guy knows what I did at Xiao Ming's house. What's his relationship with Specter?"

"However, my cat café still got discovered, "Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and thought, "It was only a matter of time before other apostles discover my café. I will be fine as long as nobody knows I'm the man behind the mask."

Zhao Yao immediately texted Inspector Ho about the incident just now.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu had secretly gone to the bar counter and reported the entire incident to Inspector Ho as well.

Inspector Ho received the news and broke into cold sweat. He immediately called Shi Yu, "What happened, did they fight?"

"Erm," Shi Yu was stunned by Inspector Ho's question and replied, "No, what happened?"

After bombarding Shi Yu with a series of questions, Inspector Ho heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that Hao Cang did not recognize Zhao Yao as the masked man.

Meanwhile, Hao Cang gave a cold stare to a customer in the café before exiting.

Hao Cang mumbled softly into the air, "Nekomata, are you here?" Simultaneously, he took out the phone from his pocket and opened the notes application.

Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared in the air and swept across Hao Cang's phone. A string of words miraculously appeared on the screen.

"Are you not going to kill the apostle?"

"Temporarily not, Lucifer seems to know this person, and I would like to give him one more chance." Hao Cang continued, "Let's go Nekomata, you have stayed outside for far too long."

However, the shadow seemed to hesitate in its movements before it continued typing, "I would like to stay here a little while longer to continue observing them."

"Hmm," Hao Cang's mouth tightened into a stubborn line and replied sternly, "It is too dangerous outside, I want you to come back home with me now."

The shadow did not reply. Spirit cat wanted to watch the next episode of "1 Liter of Tears" alongside Elizabeth, there seemed to be this invisible force restraining it, preventing it from leaving this place.

Spirit cat comforted itself by saying, "I cannot allow Elizabeth to fall into this man's trap alone. I must stay here to prevent Elizabeth from falling to this temptation and gather intel for Hao Cang."

Spirit cat immediately translated its thoughts into rows of text on Hao Cang's phone.

"I need to stay here to gather more intel on this apostle."

"I do not need the information, Nakomata, leave with me now." Before Hao Cang completed his statement, he felt that the shadow was slowly dissipating and had drifted away.

"I'll return home in a few days' time."

"D*mn it," Hao Cang gritted his teeth and admonished Nakomata in his head. He was furious at Nekomata but could not do anything about it. Among all the supercats under Hao Cang's care, Nekomata was the most disobedient one.

Xiao Ming entered the café soon after Hao Cang left. However, there was a look of despair on Xiao Ming's face even though he was under the influence of Celestial Beats.

Zhao Yao saw the expression on his face and asked curiously, "Xiao Ming, what happened?" Zhao Yao was still eagerly anticipating the RMB fifty-two million which they had promised him.

"Master, after you left last night, a few of my uncles ganged up together and forced my granny to relinquish her position as the matriarch on the pretext of her poor health." Xiao Ming explained with his fists tightly clenched.

Zhao Yao understood from Xiao Ming's explanation that the management level of the company committed many mistakes in their decision making. This all happened when Granny Xiao was under the influence of Specter. This had resulted in the company's reputation plummeting.

The remaining elders in the family decided to make use of this chance to force Granny Xiao to relinquish her spot at the top of the company.

Xiao Ming and a few others only came to realize that Granny Xiao had transferred a majority of her shares and assets to some of the uncles in the family when she was influenced by Specter. This meant that Xiao Organization was no longer under Granny Xiao.

However what Xiao Ming and Zhao Yao did not know was that Ho Hao Cang had a part to play in all of this.

"I'm so sorry," Xiao Ming repeatedly apologized, "We won't be able to transfer the RMB fifty million over to you temporarily, but I'll transfer the RMB two million which I promised you personally as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Zhao Yao responded, "How about your car and house? I'm sure they can fetch at least two million RMB? I hate it when people don't return the money they owe me."

"Erm, I'm already trying to sell them," Xiao Ming continued, "But I still need a little bit more time."

"Alright," Zhao Yao stopped pestering him about the money when he noticed how troubled Xiao Ming was, "Go and solve your family problem first, you can return me the money after you've settled it."

Initially, Xiao Ming found Zhao Yao a little unreasonable and greedy. Zhao Yao was just too obsessed over the money Xiao Ming had promised him. However, at this critical juncture, Zhao Yao's kind words radically changed Xiao Ming's perceptions of him.

"Master, thank you so much." Xiao Ming continued, "I'll repay your kindness when I've overcome this crisis."

"You don't have to thank me, but a little interest will be much appreciated."

After the serious discussion on money, they switched to a lighter topic. However, Xiao Ming had to receive an urgent phone call and left the café immediately. Zhao Yao grabbed his head out of denial.

"My RMB fifty-two million …" Zhao Yao could not help but feel the heartache when he was so near yet so far away from being rich.

After ending work that night, Zhao Yao did not continue his training. Instead, he brought Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball to a secluded corner in the park. He was going to release Specter and checked whether he still had his superpower.

He was also going to question him about the situation at the house of Xiao and asked who the mastermind behind it was. He wanted to know who was the one who stopped him from becoming RMB fifty-two million richer.

Even if Specter still had his superpower, Zhao Yao and the three cats would overcome him easily and seal him into Zhao Yao's extradimensional belly again.

On a barren grass patch in the park, Dust Ball stretched opened her mouth and began vomiting. All sorts of things appeared, ranging from dust to garbage and even a glass cup.

Two menu and three coffee cups appeared in the air, and Zhao Yao could not help but questioned Dust Ball, "Dust Ball, why did you eat all these?"

Dust Ball turned her head to reveal an awkward smile before she resumed vomiting.

The number of objects which were expelled out of Dust Ball's extradimensional belly far exceeded what Zhao Yao had imagined.

First, it was just typical notebooks, umbrellas and tissue papers. Then, there were condoms, math textbooks, ballpoint pen and even an inflatable sex doll which landed on Zhao Yao's feet.

Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and remarked, "This guy, how did you manage to eat all this rubbish?"

Dust Ball just gave a stupid reply, "I saw them on the road and ate it."

"This d*mn cat," Zhao Yao facepalmed himself and continued, "Why are you attracted to all these rubbish?"

Matcha licked his paws and chucked secretly, "Ms. Rubbish, no wonder there is such a bad smell coming from your mouth every day. Don't tell me you also eat shit?"

The next moment, Dust Ball tilted her head to the side slightly, and a gush of water spurted out of her mouth and landed on Matcha.

Matcha, which hated water, was drenched in the water from Dust Ball's mouth. Matcha looked venomously at Dust Ball and shouted, "Rubbish cat, are you courting death?"

Zhao Yao immediately stopped Matcha from pouncing onto Dust Ball by grabbing his paws and said, "Alright, stop arguing, I'm sure Dust Ball didn't do it on purpose."

Dust Ball's head tilted in the same direction again, and one tube of glue squirted all over Matcha's body.
