“Just relax! It’s not that bad even if they are really captured by Mao Gao. After all, I have visited their bases quite a few times.

Mao Gang takes extra good care of all the supercats that they have captured. The hospitality which they provide is truly divine. Actually, you can just treat this as a shelter for the supercats. I mean their main objective is to find these supercats a new, dependable owner. If their powers are too tricky for an ordinary apostle to handle, they’ll simply hand it over to us.

I’m 100% sure that your cats are enjoying every second spent in their base. I promise you, there won’t be a single problem. However, we are still dealing with supercats, hence it is inevitable for them to collect some sort of commission if they hand it over to us.”

Obviously, Ye Mei was clueless about all the clandestine dealings Mao Gang had done behind her back. In reality, Mao Gang had already gradually slipped from the government’s tight grasp, making them completely uncontrollable.

This was only possible because of the abundance of supercats strewn all across the world. Consequently, the government had to dilute their resources by dispatching their personnel all over the nation. This provided Mao Gang the golden opportunity to wreak havoc right under their noses.

The rapid expansion of the organization only managed to fed their leader, Faceless’s, hunger for greater domination. He only wanted one thing – to eventually rule over the entire world.

Zhao Yao could only nod his head to Y Mei’s resolute tone, “I really do hope that this is the truth.”

Ye Mei’s eyes swerved towards her phone as she commented, “Let’s go. I’ve already booked a meeting with them at the city center.”

This was the most opulent restaurant one could possibly imagine. Sat next to the most luxurious table was Faceless who was carefully dissecting the slab of cote de boeuf before him.

The surrounding tables were all empty. Instead of customers, the restaurant was occupied by 20 odd bodyguards, carefully positioned around Faceless. All of them were easily as big as Shaquille O’Neal. Evidently, Faceless had booked the entire restaurant. However, that wasn’t his only layer of defense. Carefully stashed in the corners were his personal apostle guards.

After all, this apostle army was supposed to be a secret. Other than the core members of Mao Gang, all those who had learned about the army’s existence had been sent to the afterlife.

Another chunk of premium meat slid down Faceless’s throat as he experienced the explosion of flavors dancing down his tongue. A contented glee crept up his face. Suddenly, a bodyguard approached him discreetly before whispering something into his ears, “Boss, Ye Mei, and her friend have arrived.”

There was no change to Faceless’s expression as he replied, “Let them in.”

Currently, Ye Mei and Zhao Yao found themselves at the magnificent entrance leading into the restaurant. Ye Mei instructed, “Just keep your mouth shut as much as possible. I will do the talking. Don’t worry. I’ll get your cats back.”

Zhao Yao responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

Two tuxedo-clad bodyguards emerged from the huge doors before escorting them in. Ye Mei’s lips immediately curled into a huge grin as she approached Faceless, “Boss Wu, I’m so sorry for troubling you over such a small matter. My friend here lost his two cats and we tracked them all the way to XX Gobi desert. Can you help me ask around and check? Maybe, one of your subordinates accidentally caught them? Or maybe a pesky thief might be lurking around, stealing cats from your territory!”

“Oh,” Faceless’s piercing eyes began to scrutinize Zhao Yao as he spoke, “Take a seat. We have a renowned French chef with us today. This beef is splendid. Would you like one?”

Ye Mei immediately forced Zhao Yao’s rigid body into the seat and responded, “Thank you so much but we have already eaten. As for the two supercats ...”

“Ah Huang!” Faceless’s thunderous voice bellowed. A muscular man dashed towards Faceless as he delivered his instructions, “I want you to follow up on this matter. If the cats are really with us, I want them to be returned to their rightful owner.”

“Yes.”

Faceless’s eyes twinkled with kindness as he explained, “Do not worry. I will definitely return your cats to you if my men had accidentally captured them.”

Seeing that she had completed her job, Ye Mei began to nod her head and replied, “In that case, we won’t be bothering you any longer.” She immediately sprang to her feet before dragging Zhao Yao out of the chair.

Throughout their conversation, Faceless did not mention a single word about those two cats’ information. Furthermore, he was extremely co-operative and accommodative towards their requests. He seemed like he was on their side.

However, Zhao Yao did not leave despite Ye Mei’s tugging. Instead, he was staring blankly at Faceless, with his attention fixed on that captivating punctuation mark, “Hey, do you feel restless recently? Is there anything that I can help you with?”

The smile collapsed from Faceless’s face. Ye Mei immediately grabbed Zhao Yao by his collar before whispering into his ears, “What the hell are you trying to do?”

Instantly, Faceless suppressed the frustration spiraling through his body and mustered a polite smile on his lips, “Oh, I didn’t know that you are trained in the long lost art of physiognomy. However, I’m in the pink of health. Nothing bothers me.”

“Really? Are you sure there’s nothing troubling you? Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Zhao Yao was not one to give up after spotting that coveted golden exclamation mark, “I know that you need my help. Are you bothered by an arch-nemesis? Is there a powerful opponent that you just can’t overcome? Do you need my protection? Or maybe you’ve met a god-like supercat that you just cannot capture? Talk to me! I’m the most helpful person that you will ever meet!”

Zhao Yao then took a few steps forward before slamming his palm on Faceless’ shoulder, “Don’t worry. With me around, no one will dare to lay a finger on you.”

Before his fingers even made contact with Faceless, he felt a wave of hostile energy sweeping towards him from all directions. The wrath was palpable. They were like blades slicing through his skin. He only managed to detect this anger with the help of ‘five is better than four’.

However, the hostility immediately vanished following Faceless’s wave of his arm. Instead, he forced a smile on his face and replied, “I’m sorry but I’m not interested in any more protection. I mean I have more than enough bodyguards already. As for everything else, I think I can cope on my own.”

In his head, Faceless was pondering, “Is this guy ... threatening me? Is he trying to tell me that he can take me out right here right now?”

Suddenly, the golden exclamation mark began to slowly vanish into thin air. Zhao Yao’s brows immediately locked together as he thought, “What? I didn’t know that such a mechanism actually existed.”

“What the hell are you trying to say?” Ye Mei rushed forward and pulled Zhao Yao away.

Once again, there was no change to Faceless’s expression. The same cordial smile stretched across his face as he muttered, “I appreciate your friend’s kind gestures. However, I do not need his help. I believe I have the ability to settle my problems on my own.”

Zhao Yao felt his heart breaking into two as his adored golden exclamation mark slipped through his fingers, “Boss Wu! Remember to contact me if you find yourself in any sorts of trouble. I’ll be there for you!”

Faceless beamed as he watched that mysterious pair disappeared behind the pair of giant doors. Immediately, the smile dissipated as he threw his hands in the air, tossing the tables and utensils along with it.

“Protect me?” To Faceless, Zhao Yao’s words were blatant threats. He contemplated, “What is he trying to achieve by threatening me? Is it because of those two cats? No, I am sure that no one had leaked the information regarding them. Is he trying to taunt me?”

With this thought in his head, a glimmer of anger had already flashed across his eyes, “Hmph, I guess he’s just another arrogant fool. He might have some connections but that is not enough against me. Who does he think he is? He is still too young, too naïve.”

In Faceless’s eyes, Zhao Yao’s behavior was completely brazen, bordering on insane. With Mao Gang’s influence, no one could possibly take him down, let along this bold young man here.
