A burly man with an unkempt beard and tattooed arms grabbed Matcha's head and lifted him up.

Matcha meowed exasperatedly. His paws clawed at the hand and scratching sounds were heard but the gigantic hand did not budge.

Old Cat was agitated and shouted, “Save Sir George immediately!”

The surrounding supercats roared and attacked in unison.

Sluggish Movement, Metal Blade, Flaming Arrow, Frost Beam… Various superpowers. .h.i.t his body, forming numerous ice cavities and peppering the floor with ice sc.r.a.ps. He was not harmed at all.

The strong man's body was created from ice. The newly incurred injuries were filled with freshly formed ice, healing the body.

Matcha was so scared by the direct attacks that he peed. Although the superpowers were not aimed at Matcha, they landed on the burly man's body and very close to Matcha.

Matcha was dripping urine as he screamed piercingly. “Stop! Everyone Stop! Whoever injured me, I will wipe out your entire family!”

Old Cat realized that they had encountered a powerful apostle and his supercats might not be able to defeat him so he shouted, “Stop! Don't harm Sir George!”

Old Cat extended his paw and stopped all the supercats. He said to the burly man, “Do you know who you have captured? If you harm this n.o.ble cat, your whole family will be in trouble!”

Old Cat disregarded Zhao Yao's prohibition of him not speaking. If Matcha was injured or worse, captured, he would be in hot soup.

Old Cat spoke out in a bid to brainwash the opponent.

Hearing Old Cat speak human language, the burly man looked surprised and said, “You are able to speak? Interesting.”

“Release Sir George immediately! Your entire family and organization will be in trouble. Do you know who this cat belongs to…”

Hearing Old Cat's fluent speech, the burly man looked more astonished. “Your superpower is human speech?”

“You wanted to know my superpower? Release the cat and I will tell you. If you release this cat, we will pretend nothing has happened…” Rambling… more ramblings… Old Cat rambled with uncouth words as he wanted to reach 500 words so that he could plant a thought in the man's mind.

Seeing his flapping mouth, the burly man frowned and said, “Why are you so long-winded?”

Old Cat was filled with anxiety. “Am I too impatient? Did he discover something? I only have to speak a bit more before planting the first thought.”

The burly man shook Matcha and said to them, “This seems like an important cat to you. If you want him to live, gather together and surrender.”

Old Cat said, “Do you know that you are holding Headless Horseman's cat? If you antagonize the Headless Horseman, you will not be able to leave Jianghai.”

“Hahahaha.” The burly man gave a forced laugh and said, “Headless Horseman, I am so frightened of you. Gather together with your back facing me. Do it now!”

Seeing the supercats hesitating and the rambling Old Cat, the burly man tightened his grip on the head of Matcha, who screamed in agony. He commanded, “Do what I say, otherwise I will kill this cat!”

Matcha yelled out of desperation, “Do as he says! Do you want me to die? Gather together!” Seeing the supercats hesitating, Matcha said angrily, “Gather!”

The 20 supercats gathered and sprawled on the ground reluctantly, their backs facing the burly man.

Old Cat said anxiously, “We have followed your instructions. Release the cat.”

“I didn't say I would release him.” The burly man smiled, raised his other empty hand, whose fingers transformed into icicles and flung them towards the supercats.

All the cats were knocked unconscious except for Old Cat, who heaved in relief as he completed speaking 500 words and planted a thought in the burly man.

The thought could not go against his nature and Matcha had to be safe.

After much pondering, Old Cat decided to plant this thought…

“This orange cat is very cute. Don't harm him.” The burly man looked at the unconscious supercats on the floor and carried Matcha in his arms.

Old Cat a.s.sessed the current situation and sighed. During normal times, he would carry the favor of his opponent and slowly manipulate him. If there had been no threat to Matcha's safety, he could have brainwashed the opponent while the 20 supercats engaged in the fighting. It was a pity that he was knocked unconscious in the next instant.

The burly Iceman turned around and said, “Come in, this is a b.u.mper harvest.”

The apostles strolled in and were pleasantly surprised to see all the supercats on the floor.

“So many supercats?”

“Hahahaha, we have struck it rich! We have struck it rich!”

“22 supercats altogether. Incorrect, there are 23 supercats including the one that boss is carrying. We are making a fortune!”

The Iceman shook his head and looked at Matcha in his arms. “This cat is very adorable. I am keeping it.”

He walked into the front of the secret room and looked at the goods in the metal cages. He smiled and said, “We have blown our cover. Tell everyone to prepare and leave.”

“Yes!”

In the metal cages were disheveled and dirty-looking men and women who showed faces of hopelessness. There were about ten of them and they possessed apostle potential.

“In this world, supercats are valuable and apostles are priceless.” The Iceman smiled and said, “Whether it is to increase the superpower of supercats or to perform experiments, apostles are essential resources.”

He looked at the caged men and women and smiled. “Once you are out of the country, you will be worth a lot of money.”

The caged humans were kidnapped by Iceman and his men. They were the “goods” intended to be sold overseas and the source of Matcha and the supercats' surprise when they discovered the caged humans.

Matcha was depressed as he laid in the Iceman's arms. Seeing his cell phone, he struggled to pick it up but Iceman held his body down and said coldly, “You want the cell phone?”

Matcha nodded cutely.

Iceman smiled and stomped on the cell phone which broke into many pieces. “From now on, you are Speedy's cat and not related to anyone. Do you understand?”

Seeing Matcha's dull face, Speedy laughed loudly and said to his subordinates, “Quickly, move quickly. These supercats might belong to the Headless Horseman. Although we are not afraid of him, we do not need to fight him in his territory. Work diligently and leave. Once we sell the supercats and apostles, we will be able to enjoy our fortune.”
