386 Roly Poly, what happened to you? ?

Xiao Ming brought Black Panther to undertake the administrative process. Matsuo gathered the apostles under him. He frowned and questioned, "What are you all doing? A few university students and you can't handle them after such a long time?"

"Boss, the fellow named Meng Hao isn't easy to settle."

"Yes, although he is young, he already has a lot of manoeuvres. He has the connections and his ability cannot be underestimated. I heard that he had participated in the previous bout and the Headless Horseman retreated after battling him."

"Headless Horseman?" Matsuo frowned.

"Boss, you aren't an apostle, you probably don't understand these matters. Headless Horseman is regarded as the strongest apostle in Jiangmen City…"

After the previous Cat King competition, together with the 4 Cat Kings' influence as well as from the word of mouth of the participants, this legend travelled far and wide. The more they were circulated, the more incredible the tale.

Now the opposition was recognised as the fellow that could matched up to the Headless Horseman. Hence, when Matsuo's apostles came up against him, they exercised much more caution.

Matsuo heard their explanations and understood the circumstance.

To put it simply, a kid called Meng Hao with a background, extraordinary fighting spirit and strong. He's difficult to deal with.

"These Chinese…" Matsuo squinted as he understood how they were thinking. These apostles which he brought in were local and of course they weren't willing to go against a powerful opponent for money. They would just fight for the sake of it.

After his apostles left, he shook his head and thought, "These Chinese are unreliable as expected. They kept boasting about their abilities when in actual fact, they are worth nothing. What a waste of my money."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Matsuo calmly replied, "Come in."

A female accountant came in with a notebook and said, "Boss, I have collated last month's accounts and there was something wrong. I suspect Old Su to have reported false accounts…"

Matsuo raised his eyebrow and replied, "Is that so? Let me see."

The female accountant immediately sat in front of Matsuo and presented her accounts, "Boss, look here, here and here…"

Then, she continued with even more seriousness as she pointed to her screen, "Boss, over the past month, the company accounts was reduced by at least $30,000 and I still haven't completed my investigation…"

"Xiao Lin, I will take note of this. You've done well." Matsuo interrupted her and said sternly, "I will ask someone to do a thorough check on this. You keep this a secret to prevent alarming them."

After feeling that she had earned the trust and recognition by her boss, she nodded her head seriously and replied, "I know what to do."

Seeing her serious expression, Matsuo gave her a chilling glance and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, I remember that last month, I lent you a sum of money?"

Xiao Lin immediately replied gratefully, "Yes boss, thanks to that sum of money, I was able to tide over the difficult period. If not for your help, I wouldn't know what to do."

Matsuo suddenly said, "You don't need to return me this sum of money."

At the next moment, Matsuo crossed his fingers at her. A blast of grey fog emerged from Xiao Lin's body and slowly floated over and Matsuo sucked it in.

Xiao Lin seemed to not notice the fog at all. She suddenly felt faint and clutched her head. She suddenly felt extremely tired.

"Boss… Boss…"

"Take the sum of money as a reward. You can rest for a week, I will investigate the matters of the company thoroughly."

Xiao Lin felt her head getting heavier and really wanted to just lie down and take a nap. She couldn't speak further, nodded and slowly left.

Looking at her leaving, he spoke to himself, "Sorry, I wouldn't let off anyone who's going to prevent us from advancing."

He sighed and looked out of the window at the group of people. He sighed and thought, "The issue regarding Meng Hao cannot be dragged on any further. Since the Chinese aren't reliable, I would have to find Japanese to do it."

Speaking about Japanese, Matsuo immediately thought of someone he knew that was powerful and was in Jiangmen City too.

Hence, Matsuo took out his phone and dialled for Ishida.

While looking at the ruckus caused by the crowd, Matsuo spoke on the phone, "Hello, is this Ishida? I have some matters to trouble you with."

…

In a restaurant on the opposite street, Meng Hao was sitting there with his guys. They were drinking their beverages while looking at the crowd gathering outside the company.

"Old Meng, you are capable. Now that we have people clogging up their entrance everyday, let's see how they are going to operate."

"We all have to depend on Old Meng. Old Meng, you were so cool the other time, you flattened them all by yourself."

"Old Meng, there's stories of you battling with Headless Horse. Are they real?"

With the crowd continuously complimenting Meng Hao, he became even prouder. Recently, with the team becoming more and more well-known, apostles from the university towns near theirs came on board the team too and viewed him as their leader.

…

At the Kirin Cat Cafe, it was another day of work. Zhao Yao sat in his chair and yawned. Roly Poly squeezed into his embrace while squiggling around to attract his attention.

Zhao Yao yawned and thought to himself, "These damn cats, still causing so much trouble in the middle of the night and disrupting my sleep."

Even though he was angry when he was awoken, but he was happy again after looking at the panel.

After just one night, those supercats that signed contracts with him all gained a few hundred experience points. It was a pleasant surprise."

"I didn't think that they would be so hard working when trying to level up. If they will continue doing these, maybe I wouldn't even need to operate the Kirin Cat Cafe. I just had to stay at home the whole day to count their experience points."

As Zhao Yao was considering if he should let a few more cats out to gain experience points, his phone rang.

"Hm? An unknown number?" When he picked up the call, a rude tone sounded out.

"Is this Zhao Yao? You think I can't find you because you have multiple lines? When are you returning the money…"

Zhao Yao ended the call immediately and thought, "Nowadays, scammers are so mindless, with such a bad attitude and tone, how are they able to deceive people?"

Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and the cat that was initially prancing around in his embrace became stiff. His head was tilted up and paws stiffened in mid-air. It seemed like it was paralyzed.

Zhao Yao asked curiously, "Roly Poly, why did your body become stiff?"
