Not long after the message was sent, replies from others came flooding in.

The group leader, Meow Gibson, asked, “XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet? Weren’t you eating fine and living well? How did you end up getting caught?”

One of Roly Poly’s good friend, Godly God, who rarely replied in the group typed, “Where are you? I’ll rescue you!”

Leopard Head: ‘I’m really busy right here, and I still have to send stuff for delivery. Can you leave a deposit first?’

Chubby Luban Assassin: ‘Transfer me RMB100 for the taxi fare, and I’ll head over to your place right now!’

Seeing so many replies from the group members, Roly Poly got a little excited and invited all the members who replied to a separate group as he began to think of a secret plan.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued doing his household chores and went to sleep soon after, oblivious to what was happening in the chat group.

The next morning, Zhao Yao was awoken by the noise made by the cleaning robot.

The cleaning robot doubled as an alarm clock. Every morning it began its cleaning on time and waked Zhao Yao up. Zhao Yao would then spend the rest of the morning working out. Although his powers were gradually growing in strength, it was still important to keep himself fit and strong.

As he got out of his bed, he saw Matcha lying down flat on his bed with his mouth opened wide and his tongue dangling from its side. He looked as if he was dead.

He walked out of the bedroom and watched as the cleaning robot began to move around the house. Mango trailed behind the robot and stared at it with a face of curiosity. Occasionally, he would flee away and return shortly after whenever the robot makes a sudden move.

Zhao Yao strolled towards the balcony and began to do some stretching, followed by some sit-ups and diamond push-ups.

After a good 30 minutes of working out, he went to wash his face, brush his teeth and went downstairs to grab something for breakfast.

That was Zhao Yao’s daily morning routine. Zhao Yao was slowly getting used to such a daily routine — waking up early in the morning, completing his daily workout and getting his daily therapeutic session of Celestial Beats. With each passing day, Zhao Yao could feel himself getting fitter and healthier.

A phone ring disturbed the tranquil morning. Zhao Yao jumped in shock when he saw the name on the phone display.

“Xiao Shi Yu?” Zhao Yao saw the killer cat decapitate Xiao Shi Yu’s head completely with his own pair of eyes. How could she still be alive?

“Are you her kin?” Zhao Yao frowned and answered, “Hello?”

“Zhao Yao? It’s me.”

Zhao Yao gasped in shock as a familiar female voice responded from the other end of the line. “Xiao... Xiao Shi Yu?!”

“I know you are very surprised but we can talk about this later when we meet.” Xiao Shi Yu replied. “I’m now in charge of your previous meeting with Inspector Ho...”

Zhao Yao questioned, “Uncle Ho?”

“Yeah.” Xiao Shi Yu laughed as she continued, “Let’s meet at Sunshine Mall, the one near Mountain River Road. We’ll find you a shop there.”

Zhao Yao hanged up and shook his head back and forth as he still couldn’t understand what in the world was happening. However, he decided that he would just wait for Xiao Shi Yu to explain everything.

He drove his Panamera towards the meeting location. It was a mere 7-8 kilometer drive from his house to the meeting location. The place was situated in an ideal location as it was the only large mall that was closest to a nearby university town. Hence, it was frequently patronized by many university students daily.

Zhao Yao arrived at the meeting location outside the mall shortly after and saw Xiao Shi Yu standing alone.

She had long black hair with tender skin as white as snow. Her beautiful eyebrows and curly eyelashes complemented her sweet-looking face. Wearing a white romper, she attracted the attention of many men around her.

As Zhao Yao stared at Xiao Shu Yu, it felt like he traveled back in time to his university days.

“Xiao Shi Yu, it really is you!”

Seeing how surprised Zhao Yao looked, Xiao Shu Yu giggled and replied, “Haha! It’s a long story. Back then I was scared to death myself! Let’s head over to that cafe over there.”

The cafe was over a 100 square feet in size, decorated with wooden flooring and beautiful wallpapers. The warm-colored lights that shone from the elegant-looking lamps created a soothing and relaxing ambiance for its customers.

However, Zhao Yao wasn’t interested in all that fancy decoration. He stared into Xiao Shi Yu’s eyes and asked, “What happened exactly?”

Xiao Shu Yu laughed awkwardly and continued, “I guess you’re an apostle too right? Then you should know about the existence of the supercats.” As Xiao Shi Yu continued to explain the occurrences after her “death”, Zhao Yao began to understand what actually happened.

Xiao Shu Yu did get killed by the killer cat that day. But a split second before her death, she obtained a power from the stray cat — the power of super regeneration. Using this newfound power, she managed to survive and escape unscathed.

As she was supposedly involved in the operation of capturing the killer cat, Inspector Ho brought her back to his place and decided to keep her with him when he realized that Xiao Shi Yu had the power of super regeneration.

It’s a pity that they were still unable to find the cat with the regenerative power all this while.

Unfortunately, due to Xiao Shi Yu’s political background and her powers, she wasn’t employed by the higher-ups as they were uncomfortable with her superpower due to its volatile nature.

Coincidentally, Inspector Ho got in touch with Zhao Yao at just the right time. He decided to employ Xiao Shi Yu as the middlewoman for Zhao Yao and himself, putting her in charge of facilitating communication and cooperation between the two of them.

From what Xiao Shi Yu said, Zhao Yao could tell that she was unaware that he was actually the masked man who killed the killer cat. To her, Zhao Yao was just a normal apostle and a friend who was brought in by Inspector Ho.

Zhao Yao naturally hoped that things would stay this way as he didn’t want more people to know about his true identity.

After finishing what she wanted to say, Xiao Shi Yu asked, “What do you think of this cafe?

“This cafe?” Zhao Yao responded. “Is this the cafe you guys found for me?”

Zhao Yao stood up, assessed the surroundings of the cafe and was pretty pleased with what he saw. “Not bad at all, I’m pretty satisfied with it. I’ll just install a few kitty towers, bring in a couple of cat toys and make room for a cat toilet.”

The decoration of the cafe was simple but surprisingly suitable for a cat cafe. The location was in close proximity to the university town and residential areas. Furthermore, it was located pretty close to his home. There was no reason why Zhao Yao should be unhappy with a place like this.

Zhao Yao asked, “What’s the monthly rent for this shop?”

“With a floor area of 155 square meters, the rent is RMB50,000 per month. We used your yearly subsidy to pay 6 months in advance. As for the deposit money, you can take consider it as a gift.” Xiao Shi Yu assumed that this sum of money was nothing much to someone as rich as Zhao Yao and continued, “I’ll be around to help you out with the shop. As for the existing employees of the shop, you can consider if you want to keep them.”

“N... No! I don’t want any of them!” Zhao Yao strongly rejected her offer of keeping the employees. As he thought of the rent money, his heart broke into many pieces. “So expensive... I can’t believe the rent is so expensive!”

On top of the rent, Zhao Yao would need to spend up to RMB200,000 on cat food for the cats. This excluded the money needed to install the automatic cat toilet, utility bills, and the cost of providing food and beverages to customers. Zhao Yao was too afraid to think about the expenses.

“I’ll do everything myself. I’ll be the waiter, cashier, cleaner and everything else!” Zhao Yao announced arrogantly.

Xiao Shi Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Surely you need a cleaner at the very least? We can always hire someone.”

“No need for that. ”

Zhao Yao thought to himself, “When the time comes I’ll let Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball do the cleaning instead. That’s right! I don’t even have to pay them anyway.”
