236 Missions, Missions, and More Missions! ?

When Zhao Yao's eyes met with Sato's eyes, he mercilessly pressed the taser against his chest once again. However, no current flowed out of the laser this time around.

A look of disappointment crept up Zhao Yao's face as he stared at the taser in disbelief, "Out of battery already?"

Sato heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Yao's words but the temporary peace ended swiftly when he saw three other tasers levitating in the air.

He immediately spilled out all the information as his body continued to shiver from the ordeal, "We did not bring the supercats along. The Japanese side already had their eyes on you for a long time. We borrowed the power before taking the flight here. Our original plan was to return to Japan immediately after we complete this mission."

Because of the earlier incident involved Mami's supercat, Chimera, the Japanese no longer risked sending the supercats over.

Hence, they decided to deploy a less valuable asset – apostles. They would borrow the power before they board the plane and return to Japan at the end of the mission.

The flight from Jiangmen city to Tokyo only took 2 hours. Even after factoring in the time taken for possible flight delays or customs check, the entire trip would take less than six hours. The remaining 18 hours was more than enough for the apostles to locate their targets and if need be, act on it. This would prevent the Japanese side from losing their supercats.

However, Zhao Yao seemed oblivious to Sato's response. He held his new 'ammo' excitedly in his hands and started jabbing at Sato non-stop.

After 10 minutes of incessant stabbing, Hanako could no longer put up with Zhao Yao's deranged behavior and shouted, "Zhao Yao! He will really faint if you continue doing this!"

Zhao Yao's smile did not even leave his face as he took a look at Sato's face. Sato struggled to open his eyes and his skin was as pale as paper. Zhao Yao simply commented, "Yes, I cannot afford to kill him." This was the first time he had met such a situation.

Initially, he already had an inkling as to how his BOOK worked. At first, he thought the missions were basically a reflection of the thoughts in his head. Experience points would be earned whenever he managed to complete the missions which he had thought of.

However, after joining Inspector Ho, he was able to help others fulfill the wishes in their heads. This allowed him to accumulate experience points from more individuals.

Zhao Yao had no idea but by staring at Sato, who was shuddering on the floor, he had guessed that certain people were more prone to offer him missions. This was possibly due to their nature to easily ask others for help. Or maybe it stemmed from their lack of determination or maybe they simply liked to ask others for help.

There were too many variables in this problem and Zhao Yao had no time to dissect it and obtain an answer. Regardless of the reasons, there was nothing stopping Zhao Yao from accumulating more experience points from him.

Within just 10 minutes, Zhao Yao had managed to complete six missions by electrocuting Sato. This head earned Zhao Yao 60*2 experience points.

In Zhao Yao's eyes, Sato was no longer a revered and feared swordsman. He was simply a treasure chest.

Sato's expression seemed devoid of any spirit as he struggled to crawl towards Zhao Yao and muttered, "Water … water…"

Hanako quickly replied, "I"ll go get him a glass of water."

"No, no, no. Let me do it. He came all the way from Japan to pay me a visit. I must treat him like an honored guest." Zhao Yao's eyes gravitated upwards and noticed the shining exclamation mark floating at the same spot. Zhao Yao's mouth curled into a smile as he spoke, "Please treat me like your friend. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me."

Sato almost threw up blood when he heard Zhao Yao's balderdash. If not for Zhao Yao, Sato would not have been trembling on the floor.

Zhao Yao simply raised his hand in the air as a cup filled with water floated to him. He then slowly fed Sato the water.

Sato gazed longingly at the cup of water and craned his neck forward to take a sip. The mission was completed the moment his lips made contact with the water. Zhao Yao instantly retracted the cup from Sato.

10*2 experience points earned.

Immediately, the golden exclamation mark re-appeared at the top of Sato's head. Zhao Yao stared at Sato with a beaming smile and asked, "Would you like some water?"

Sato's temple throbbed with rage as he thought that Zhao Yao was simply doing this to ridicule him.

However, Sato could not resist the temptation when he stared at the water in his face before nodding his head.

Zhao Yao accepted the mission once again and placed the tip of the cup against Sato's lips.

The same thing repeated again. Zhao Yao immediately retracted his arm after Sato's lips managed to touch just a few drops of water.

10*2 experience points earned.

Anger swept over Sato as he burst out screaming, "What do you want from me?"

Zhao Yao was unfazed by his outburst and explained matter-of-factly, "An injured person should not ingest too much water at one go. It's bad for your organs." The smile returned to Zhao Yao's face when he noticed the shiny and golden object above Sato's' head.

Mission: Replenish water.

Objective: Allow Sato to finish the entire cup of water.

Reward: 20 experience points

Punishment: Nil

Zhao Yao did not hesitate even a second as he accepted the mission. Sato, who was on the verge of death from a myriad of reasons, whispered, "Can I finally drink the water?"

"Of course." This time around, Zhao Yao did not retract his arms but allowed him to finish the entire cup peacefully.

However, Sato had already quenched his thirst after a few sips but noticed Zhao Yao's stare which caused his chest to tighten with fear. Sato asked, "What happened?"

"You are injured. Hence, you need to drink more water."

A vein popped across his forehead as his brain exploded with fury. Initially, Zhao Yao forbade him to drink. Now, he forced him to drink beyond his limit. Sato struggled to reply, "It's okay. I don't need any more water."

"No, your body needs more water. Come, listen to the doctor." Zhao Yao said sternly. Zhao Yao rested his right palm on Sato's forehead and pressed it down regardless of how Sato struggled. With the cup in his left hand, he simply shoved the entire cup of water down his throat. This left Sato coughing and choking from the water as saliva tricked from the corner of his lips.

This earned Zhao Yao another 20*2 experience points.

Hanako's face turned green when she observed Zhao Yao's insane behavior. She thought, "This is bad, very bad. Why do I feel that this guy has gone crazier than before?"

However, no matter how hard Zhao Yao tried, he could no longer earn any more experience points from Sato.

Hence, his eyes swept across the room and stopped at the remaining three Japanese.

When their eyes met with Zhao Yao's cold and frightening glare, their bodies started shivering violently.

"Let … Let … Let …"

"Let … Let … Let …"

"Let … Let … Let …"

Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders when he watched the three bloke collapse to the floor, convulsing from the pain. Zhao Yao lamented, "You Japanese are really too polite. If you need any help, just feel free to tell me. How do you expect me to help if you keep your mouth shut?"

Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of despair after confirming that he could no longer earn any experience points from them, "Actually, this group of people and Shuichi are both Japanese. Does that mean that Japanese can give me more missions?" Suddenly, Zhao Yao's deathly glare gravitated towards Hanako.

Hanako was taken aback and instantly jumped backward. She struggled to speak, "What… What do you want? You promised to protect me! Lightning! Come and protect me!"

The Pallas's cat was observing the entire incident and was hiding underneath the couch with his body shaking like a leaf.

Actually, Zhao Yao merely glanced at Hanako. He had no intention of electrocuting her. After realizing that there were no missions left, he whipped out his phone and gave Inspector Ho a call.

However, it took at least five minutes of calling before Inspector Ho finally picked up the phone.

Inspector Ho calmed himself down and spoke in his most relaxed tone, "Zhao Yao, it's currently 5.30am. I have just gone for my toilet break. Thank you for your reminder."

"I didn't expect you to be awake at this hour. We definitely share a special affinity between us."

"F*ck you! I'm awake because of your bloody phone call!"
