Chapter 834: Arthas and the Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Los Angeles was made up of a cluster of hundreds of districts. It was different from central cities like that of New York and Jianghai. Los Angeles was like a pizza. The residents here settled in the various districts based on differences in race, culture, religion, and income.

Beverly Hills was one of the most famous districts in Los Angeles. Many billionaires, Hollywood stars and sports celebrities lived in the area. The area also boasted the most upscale, high-end brands on its commercial streets as well as many mansions. It was truly an affluent district.

Zhao Yao arrived at Beverly Hills with the intention to trace down Arthas, the master cat behind Star Cats.

However, Beverly Hills was not a small area. Some skill was still needed to find a cat here.

Zhao Yao asked Mary, who was hidden under the cloak, “Where does Arthas live?”

Mary replied, “I don’t know.”

Ares gave Mary a tight slap on her face, “Didn’t you say you were his fan?”

Mary clutched her head and said pitifully, “Everyone was talking about him then, I just went along without knowing anything.”

“You!!” Ares was so angry his tail shot straight out as he slapped her head again.

After a few slaps, Lucifer stopped Ares halfway and interjected, “Brother, stop hitting her. If you continue hitting her she will die. You can hit me instead.”

Seeing Lucifer’s expression, Ares retracted his paw with a look of disdain on his face. “How did you become like this?”

Lightning said, “Mary, quick say where Arthas lives. Ares will only hit you when he’s angry but if our Boss gets angry, you won’t get away with just a beating.” He smiled viciously right after saying that.

Looking at the Pallas cat that had been shaven bald by Project X, Mary felt that his words were very convincing.

Mary said pitifully, “But I really don’t know.”

Just as the few cats started quarreling with each other under the cloak, Zhao Yao cut them off. “Alright, stop talking. I have a solution.”

Zhao Yao stood invisible atop a roof. He was eyeing a limousine on the nearby street.

“Arthas is considered a famous cat afterall. The rich people here should have their own social circles, maybe they know where he lives?”

As he thought of that, Zhao Yao had already jumped off, catching up with the limousine nearby.

Not long after, in a remote alley, Zhao Yao held up a man and asked, “Where is Arthas?”

“Arthas? That supercat?”

Zhao Yao was stunned. “You know him?”

“Which rich man in Hollywood doesn’t know him?” The man quickly responded. “This guy throws banquets at his house everyday and invites all the famous people in the city over. I heard that the amount he spends every day on a banquet amounts to millions of US dollars.”

“There’s such a thing?” Zhao Yao exclaimed. “You’re not lying to me right?”

Sheriff, who was under the cloak said, “Zhao Yao, what he said is true.”

Zhao Yao continued to ask, “Where does Arthas live?”

After getting the answer he was looking for, Zhao Yao threw the guy on the floor and knocked him out.

“Interesting. Throwing banquets everyday huh?” Zhao Yao thought. “The Star Cats are constantly socializing with the elites. Are they trying to integrate into the upper echelons of the human society in this way?”

Zhao Yao thought of Arthas’ motives as he sped up.

After half an hour, Zhao Yao arrived at a mansion. By then, the sky had turned dark. He watched as limousines drove into the manor, as if there was an event going on.

“This is troublesome. There’s so many people. If I force my way through, the American troops will be alerted to the scene,” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought carefully. “I think the best way is to maintain the battle at the level of the superpower realm, rather than escalating it to the international level.”

Zhao Yao thought for a while before he suddenly turned his gaze on the entrance to the manor. He watched as a Rolls Royce pulled to a stop. When the car door opened, an American Shorthair jumped out.

“So humans aren’t the only ones attending his banquet?” Zhao Yao nodded to himself. “Right, this banquet is not only for the Star Cats to integrate into the elites of society. It also serves as a venue for supercats and humans to interact with each other. They want to unite the interests of both cat and humans.”

Zhao Yao’s pupils constricted for a moment, extending his vision further. He could clearly see the arrogant face of the American Shorthair that had just got out of the car, standing with his chest puffed up. A servant walked over and carried him to attend the banquet, walking wherever the American Shorthair wanted to go.

“American Shorthair? Maybe I can pass off as one and sneak in.”

Mission: ‘Sneak’ is just one word

Mission Objective: Sneak into Arthas’ banquet and find Arthas

Reward: 1000 experience points

Punishment: None

“Not bad,” Zhao Yao smiled in satisfaction. He noticed that as his level in the Book increased, it became more in tune with his character and wishes. Most of the time, the missions would arise based on who his targets were.

“This truly deserves to be an ability of mine. It’s clever enough.”

The next moment, Zhao Yao moved towards the manor in a flash. The optical invisibility provided by the Deflective Field was even better at night. He infiltrated the manor like a night spirit, reaching the back of that American Shorthair.

When the servant holding the American Shorthair turned at a corner, out of everyone’s sight, a paw stretched out in the dark, pulling both cat and man into the darkness.

The American Shorthair felt as if his world had reversed before he realized he was in a pitch-dark space. Green, red, and yellow cat eyes stared at him in the dark.

“Who are you guys? Why did you catch me? No wait...” The American Shorthair immediately raised his paw and covered his eyes. “My fellow brothers, I know the rules. I didn’t see anything or hear anything. The cat lover that takes care of me at home is the governor of California. I can give you guys any amount you want. Please don’t hurt me!”

Lightning was stunned. “What the f*ck, we caught a big fat fish this time.”

Zhao Yao said, “What’s your name?”

The American Shorthair replied earnestly, “I am Cameron.”

“Very good. Cameron, as long as you cooperate with us from now on, we will let you go after the banquet ends.”

When Zhao Yao spoke halfway, he saw Cameron trembling in fright as huge blobs of fur started dropping from his body. The smell of urine wafted over from his lower body, making Zhao Yao disgusted as he threw the Deflective Field over to collect the urine.

Zhao Yao shouted, “What are you doing?”

“Meow-ow-ow!” Cameron started crying dramatically. “I know what you mean! You’re going to kill me when you say you’re going to let me go! You guys don’t want anything. You just want me to cooperate. You guys must be up to no good. You all will definitely silence me after you’re done with your business.”

Looking at how much he was trembling, Zhao Yao pursed his lips. “This guy’s tenacity is too weak. Should I just control him with the ability to control superpowers?”

At that moment, Ares said, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, why don’t you let Fish Ball pass off as him?”

“Fish Ball?” Zhao Yao stared at Fish Ball, who had been watching shows all along.

Fish Ball was eating the small dried fish in his backpack which Xiao Yu gave him. When he saw everyone staring at him, Fish Ball dropped the small dried fish on the floor before he had closed his mouth.

“I can’t. Although we’re both American Shorthairs, our face shape is different. His face is not as round and soft as mine.”

“Don’t worry about that.” Ares slapped Cameron in the face. “You guys will look the same after I slap his face swollen.”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, “Idiot, what’s the use of swelling up his face? The point is to make Fish Ball look like him.”

Cameron was confused beyond words.

Mary comforted him at the side, “Don’t worry, you will get used to it after a few hours.”
