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 a.s.similated 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 .
