Chapter 597: Plan and Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Midnight thought, “Xiao Shiyu was linked to a killer cat incident two years ago. She was rescued by a masked man who possessed teleporting and psychokinesis abilities. The masked man then appeared at the earthquake cat incident and showed a mastery of illusive magic. After that, Xiao Shiyu resigned from her job and went to work in a cat cafe.
Teleporting, psychokinesis, illusive magic—these three abilities coincide with the abilities of the headless horseman. And resigning from a job to work in a cat cafe feels very strange.”
Midnight furrowed his brows slightly. On this thought, he starred Xiao Shiyu’s name to mark her importance.
“Hmmm?” Mushroom Head brightened his eyes and responded, “This is getting easier? If we continue to look for the eight targets, perhaps one of them will be the headless horseman.”
“We only have a high chance.” Midnight calmly said. “There is also the possibility that the headless horseman is not from Jianghai city, but from other cities or even other countries.”
At this moment, Old K, who was lying on the bed, said, “Haha, we have baited a big fish. We’re going to earn a fortune this time.”
Midnight turned his head and asked, “What?”
“News from Big White, saying that a local tycoon wants to buy our goods.” Old K smiled and said, “No lack of money. However, he wants to meet us to discuss and test the goods.”
“Really?” Mushroom Head smiled a little. “How much can we earn?”
Looking at his companions’ jubilant expressions, Midnight furrowed his brows and said, “We are here solely for the headless horseman. Selling catmint is just a side job.”
“Got it, got it! Don’t be so uptight Midnight.” Old K smiled and said, “If we are unable to find the headless horseman from those eight targets, perhaps we’ll have to turn to our catmint sale channels to find him? Maybe his cat consumes our catmint, hahaha.”
Midnight furrowed his brows and said, “Locate the few remaining informants first.” He pointed to the circled names in his notebook and said, “We’ll sell the goods next week.”
Old K revealed his displeasure and cut back, “Why? I can go discuss business now so it won’t affect the headless horseman issue.”
Midnight coldly said, “Selling catmint is just a side hustle. If you leave, you create a possibility of exposing us.”
“Don’t you trust me?” Old K stood up in anger. “What if I want to sell now?”
Midnight’s body became translucent. “Frankly speaking, I do not understand why the God of Death asked both of you to help me. I am able to solve the headless horseman issue by myself, without assistance from one or two people. This isn’t a big deal for me.”
Old K revealed a contrived smile. Green mist rose from the surface of his body. He grudgingly said, “Midnight, are you defying orders from the God of Death?”
Midnight’s body had completely become transparent, then it disappeared. Mushroom Head immediately said, “Hey, Midnight, do not act rashly. Old K, apologize quickly.”
“Why?” Old K braced himself and said, “Midnight, if you dare make a move on me, we will die together.” Foul stenches came from Old K’s body which had just turned green.
Looking at the scene, Mushroom Head backed up a few steps and covered his nose. “Are you all crazy? Stop this immediately.”
The next instant, Old K let out a scream and covered his stomach, saying, “Let go! Release your hand! Release your hand!”
Pow! Following his scream, Old K felt acute pain in his stomach. He vomited a mouthful of blood. However, he was not finished. He laid on the ground coughing violently and then vomited gastric acid and fluid and even the dinner he had just had. Finally, he spat out a small stone from his stomach and felt much better.
Looking at the stone in the pool of vomit, Old K was enraged. “Despicable, this b*stard actually put a stone into my stomach.”
Midnight’s phantom figure appeared once again and he said coldly, “Next week after we have located the eight suspects, we shall proceed with the catmint transaction. Of course, I will not stop Big White from preparing the meeting.”
Mushroom Head nodded with a smile and said, “I have no problem with that.”
Old K suppressed his anger, nodded and said, “I don’t have an issue with it either.”
...
As Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou planned their next move, Red Packet lay on the floor with Zhao Yao, in the guise of an orange cat, sitting on top.
The orange cat looked at Big White cat and said, “Let me tell you, I don’t lack money. My parents are in the coal mining business. If I ask them for money, they won’t ask what I plan to spend it on even if it is hundreds and thousands of millions.”
Having said that, he conveniently showed his bank balance. “See that? This card has two billion. My pocket money for this month.”
Looking at the balance, Big White cat opened his eyes wide. His gaze immediately changed.
Fish Ball added, “Brother Yao is superb.” He looked at Big White and said, “Brother Yao came to Jianghai with the intention of doing big business here. If you sell some goods to us and build good relations with Brother Yao, then you’re luck will never end! I can guarantee that you will profit endlessly.”
“Fish kid, don’t talk about money. That’s rude.” Zhao Yao said, “I came to Jianghai to make friends. As for money, it is a b*stard. Isn’t making money easy?”
Big White cat nodded his head, laughed loudly, and said, “Brother Yao, do not worry. Our catmint will pass the strictest test. You will not regret buying from us.”
Suddenly, his handphone vibrated, Big White cat unfolded it and looked at the screen. He furrowed his brows and said, “Brother Yao, boss says that this week is no good. He can only meet next week. Before our next meeting, he is giving you a packet of catmint to test. This facilitates future discussions.”
At this point, strong reluctance and hesitation flashed over Big White’s face. He struggled to take out a packet of catmint from the cat dwelling and reluctantly handed it to Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao said with disdain, “Look at you, worried that I will cheat you of a packet of catmint? Tell you frankly, there are a lot of people who want to sell to me. You are not the only one. If Preserved Egg had not introduced us, I would not have looked for you.”
Big White cat laughed and confidently said, “Boss, bring that back home, have a taste and you will know. Our catmint will surely make any cat yearn for more.”
