604 The Capture ?

On the cat web's discussion board Account-IDs like Heaven Destroy Headless1, Heaven Destroy Headless2, Heaven Destroy Headless3, were newly created to curse at Zhao Yao. However, they were immediately frozen.

Zhao Yao happily posted on the discussion board. Soon, it was dark.

Looking at Lucifer to his side, Zhao Yao dispelled the Great Flow of Idleness. Lucifer shook his head and stood up, his face totally blank. "What happened to me just now? Why do I feel that a part of my life has disappeared?"

"Because you were poisoned by addiction. The catmint that you consumed had addictive qualities. If you stop eating it, it causes undesirable side effects worse than death itself. Because of the extreme pain, your memories were erased once you awoke."

Lucifer was astonished and said, "Really? Even the toxic effect of regeneration is useless?"

"Yes, of course." Zhao Yao told a white lie. If Lucifer were to know that Zhao Yao had activated the Great Flow of Idleness because of the uncontrollable pleasure, then he might consume the poisonous catmint in secret.

"Well, the issue has been settled. Are you feeling particularly sober?"

Lucifer nodded his head and said, "I have never felt better."

"Previously, you were addicted to the sea of pleasure, unable to extricate yourself. Now that you are sober, all is well." Zhao Yao scratched Lucifer's chin and said, "After I leave, be a good cat. Do not sniff any poisonous catmint again."

"Got it, thank you, Zhao Yao. "Lucifer looked gratefully at Zhao Yao and said, "If not for you, I cannot imagine what would have become of me. After you leave, I will turn over a new leaf and never touch poisonous catmint again."

Roly Poly rolled his eyes and said, "Who fed you the poisonous catmint?"

"What did you say, Roly Poly?" Zhao Yao glared at Roly Poly and said, "What about fervent loyalty and devotion to duty? What has gotten into you? Did I save him because I wanted his loyalty?"

Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao, dumbstruck. He said in a feeble voice, "I… I didn't talk about loyalty."

Lucifer's expression changed and he immediately said, "Zhao Yao, do not blame Roly Poly. He is right. You saved me. I, Lucifer, will obey you from now on. I shall devote myself to my duties instead of goofing around."

Lucifer's loyalty increased by one point.

Lucifer's loyalty increased by one point.

Lucifer's loyalty increased by one point.

Looking at Lucifer's increasing loyalty, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, as long as you are happy… I, Zhao Yao, raise cats because I want you to be well and happy. Go on, go on."

Lucifer nodded at Zhao Yao and left the wooden house.

Roly Poly looked at the smiling Zhao Yao and frowned. "This fellow Zhao Yao is indeed a master manipulator of kittens. Compared to the previous enlightenment around the bathing water incident, this is something that I have more to learn about.

If I monitor him for the next 24 hours, perhaps I will learn some cat manipulation methods. No one in all of Cat Nation will be able to go up against me."

At this thought, Roly Poly fixed his eyes firmly on Zhao Yao, as if he wanted to learn from Zhao Yao's every word and action.

Zhao Yao thought, "Very good, Lucifer's addiction is cured, meaning that the catmint's addictive properties can be cured. Next, I will destroy the source of the poisonous catmint."

After some consideration, Zhao Yao thought that prevention was also important. Hence he contacted the Cat King of the North and Uncle Ho, informing them of this incident and asking them to be wary of such poisonous catmint in the market.

…

Meanwhile, as Zhao Yao was about to deal with the poisonous catmint…

Under Midnight's orders, Old K and Lang Gou set up an ambush in an abandoned factory.

"Where is Midnight? He called us here to capture the Headless Horseman and he is not around?" Old K furiously looked at his phone. There were no traces or messages from Midnight.

Lang Gou grinned as he said, "No hurry Old K, Midnight may be unkind, however, he is a reliable companion. With him around, our mission's efficiency is greatly enhanced."

Old K coldly said, "Humph, nonsense, if this guy is of no use to us, I will have finished him off."

Lang Gou continued to grin, not wanting to prick Old K's inflated ego.

Midnight's voice abruptly rang behind them. "Most likely, the Headless Horseman will be coming here soon."

Old K's face was pale from the shock. He turned his head and asked, "How do you know?"

Midnight said, "According to my researched intelligence, the Headless Horseman has a habit of chivalry. He was on the case of a kidnapped supercat. I used the resources of God of Death and found the kidnapper first."

"You assigned us to identify the suspects and you went alone in secret to follow up on the intelligence of the Headless Horseman simultaneously?" Lang Gou's face showed deep understanding. "So is the kidnapper in this factory? Yes, if your intelligence is accurate, as long we wait here, the Headless Horseman will definitely show himself."

Midnight hummed in agreement and said, "I have also deployed 15 apostles from Doll to set up a trap with no chance of escape. Both of you are to follow me and monitor the kidnapper at close proximity."

After hearing about the 15 apostles from Doll, Old K's face twitched uncontrollably.

This time, the manpower that God of Death had deployed for searching Jianghai, included 15 apostles and the three of them. This could be considered a small area battle, however, the firepower was extremely powerful.

The three of them were experienced and battle-hardened apostles. They traveled stealthily along the way and arrived at the deep end of the factory quickly.

In a small room at the deep end of the factory, a man was tied to a chair, surrounded by three other men. All of them looked viciously at the seated man.

Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou waited for a few hours. Then the situation changed.

One of the kidnappers abruptly stood up and said, "Xiao Ming! Because of you, we lost a lot of money!"

Another kidnapper said, "Xiao Ming! If you do not pay today, don't think of leaving this factory!"

"Quickly pay up!"

Xiao Ming, who was tied to the chair, seemed composed. He listened and then said, "I only provided some logical investment advice. I was not aware that the stock of Yili would tank so much. I had also invested a lot of money and my loss was greater than the sum of all your investments."

"You said that the stock will rise! If not for your bullsh*t, would we have invested so much money?"

"No need to talk to him, let's beat him up first."

The three men rushed forward and started punching and kicking Xiao Ming.

At the next instant, a scream pierced the air. A black-robed headless man abruptly appeared behind Xiao Ming.

Following the withdrawal of his hand, Xiao Ming screamed out in pain.

"Who are you?

"Stop playing dirty tricks to fool us!"
