888 Collecting the Fragments ?

After Mao Mao and his adjutant left, Zhao Yao gazed at Anthony and other Star Cats.

"I'm going to be straightforward. Stay for a year and work for me. After that, you can leave and I won't stop you."

The four Star Cats were prepared for the worst after witnessing what happened to Mao Mao. Their eyes lit up and looked at Zhao Yao. "Is that for real?"

They thought they had to be Zhao Yao's slaves forever. They were able to leave after a year of work so they felt happy.

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "My cats have freedom to leave as I don't like to enslave supercats. With your superpower, if I didn't watch over you, wouldn't you have left?"

The four Star Cats looked at each other and conversed telepathically among themselves. Finally, Anthony came forward and said, "Fine Zhao Yao, we'll work one year for you."

Convincing the four Star Cats was much easier than he thought and he heaved in relief.

The reason he was keeping them was for Anthony's Teleportation and Merlin's Divination superpower.

The Extradimensional Belly was used to imprison Project X, so he was unable to use the Dimension Portals for traveling long distances. Zhao Yao flew to and from America and he had weathered considerably.

Anthony's Teleportation would be useful to boost his power, especially when he engaged in direct combat with Project X.

Merlin's Divination could help him find the Meteorite Fragments.

After taking over the Star Cat's Meteorite Fragments, he had only collected 88% of all fragments. To find the remaining fragments was like searching for a needle in the hay. With Merlin's Divination, he would be able to find all fragments with ease.

Zhao Yao thought, "Merlin and Anthony will help me find the Meteorite Fragments quickly and complete the Meteorite mission so that the fragments could be pieced together. I'm curious to know its power. Then I'll decide how to allocate the earned experience points."

If these two tasks were completed, I could defeat Project X and save Roly Poly and Sphynx cat."

Zhao Yao was going to bring Anthony and Merlin along with him and watch over them closely to prevent them from creating trouble.

Though Ace and Arthur's superpowers were powerful, with Bai Quan and other supercats watching over them, they were unlikely to cause trouble.

Zhao Yao handed Ace and Arthur over to Bai Quan and looked at Anthony and Merlin as he asked, "Tell me your superpowers in detail."

After the two Star Cats explained their superpowers, Zhao Yao understood their superpowers better.

Anthony was able to set up a location tag after arriving at a location. After that, he was able to teleport anybody or objects within a radius of 10 meters to the location tag.

He was able to designate a maximum of 12 location tags and the activation time was ten seconds. This was a very powerful support superpower.

Merlin's Divination superpower was simpler. As long as he was aware of an object or person's information, he was able to foretell the location. The more detailed the information, the more accurate the foretold location.

This was another powerful support superpower for foretelling enemies' movements and it would boost Zhao Yao's gathering of intelligence.

The Star Cats held a large portion of the Meteorite Fragments while other countries and organizations held the remaining portions. The Star Cats were not willing to fight for the small portion of fragments as they did not have Zhao Yao's mission and the 100% Meteorite Fragments requirement.

Zhao Yao did not have so many concerns. The combination of Anthony, Merlin, and Sheriff was extremely efficient in locating the Meteorite Fragments.

The following days, Zhao Yao brought along Anthony and Merlin as they traveled around the globe in search for the Meteorite Fragments. They slowly pushed the collection rate towards 100%.

…

On a snow-covered highway in Canada.

A sportscar sped at 200 yards per second and the car floated due to the high speed. It left a trail of howling wind and scattering snow as it distanced itself from the pursuing police cars.

After the sportscar had shaken off the police cars, a human figure cut across the falling snow and ran alongside the sportscar.

The driver in the sportscar was dumbfounded. He accelerated once again and the sportscar took off like a fighter plane.

Zhao Yao shook his head and activated Time Freeze. He walked slowly to the side of the car and opened the door. A Norwegian forest cat was sitting beside the driver's seat and using his paws to control the steering wheel remotely.

Zhao Yao was surprised. "The cat's driving? His superpower's speeding?"

Surveying his body and the area around the driver's seat, Zhao Yao retrieved the Meteorite Fragment from a cup holder and assimilated the fragment into his body.

"What a driver…"

A few minutes later, a few police cars screeched to a halt by the roadside. Numerous cops alighted and charged towards the stationary sportscar. As they opened the door, they saw a Norwegian forest cat tied to the back seat, his innocent face staring at them.

…

Zhao Yao globe-trotted in search for the Meteorite Fragments.

Most of his cats had returned to Cat Wonderland to support the daily operations.

On an early morning, Matcha carried his backpack and left the Cat Wonderland stealthily.

He heard numerous yells as he walked out of the main door.

Matcha turned his head and saw Ares with a few of his cats yelling as they ran over. When they saw Matcha, they heaved in disappointment.

"It's you, Matcha. Did you see Mao Mao and his adjutant?"

"Mao Mao and his adjutant? I didn't see them." Matcha asked. "What's with them?"

"They are escaping from Cat Wonderland." Ares turned to his cats and shouted, "Humph, they are not here. Let's split up and look for them. We can't let them escape!"

After the group of supercats left, Matcha sighed in relief and left Cat Wonderland. He took a couple detours as he walked towards his destination.

When he arrived at the old district, he crawled into the bushes, opened his backpack, and took out a furry cosplay costume. He exerted great effort to squeeze into the costume and he became a white furry cat.

He abruptly pressed his stomach and thought, "S*it! It's so tight that my stomach's painful. Not all cats are that slim. Why is this costume so small?"

After some adjustments to his costume, Matcha stood up and walked into the district under the security guards' surprised gazes. He came to the paper carton where he spat out the cat.
