"Huh? There's a small town?" Zhao Yao's eyes lit up as he saw a small town a few thousand meters away. He leaped, made a turn in mid-air and flew towards the town. He landed stealthily a few hundred meters away and entered the town like a normal tourist.

Once he walked in the town, he felt gazes of animosity directed at him. He noticed a few local men staring at him under the eaves.

Zhao Yao greeted them and said, "Hi, do you know the way to the Divine Fire temple?"

The local men looked at each other and shook their heads at Zhao Yao. Their hidden animosity had become more intense.

Zhao Yao ignored them. This war-torn area was one of the most chaotic places on Earth. Conflicts could occur at any time and in any place.

Asians were especially out of place here like fish out of water. Traveling in this war zone, he was susceptible to various attacks and dangers.

"Because of the chaotic situation, more people needed my help." Zhao Yao thought, "I could complete more missions here."

Since he started completing missions a few days ago, he discovered greater efficiency than in large cities.

He located the only hotel in the small town. He tossed some US dollars on the table as he sat down and ordered a few dishes. He requested a cup of water as he took his meal.

A young girl served him water and glanced at him. She hesitated for a while and said, "Leave once you're done. The locals don't like you." She left without waiting for Zhao Yao's reply.

Sheriff, in Zhao Yao's arms, said, "Zhao Yao, the townsfolk's… animosity is intense."

Zhao Yao smiled and replied, "I want for them to treat us as enemies, otherwise how do we find the cats?"

As Zhao Yao at the dishes halfway, his ears quivered and he heard a large vehicle convoy coming from outside.

A few minutes later, dozens of jeeps and combat vehicles screeched to a halt in the middle of the town. The rebels disembarked and lay siege to the hotel.

The hotel owner and the young girl hid behind the door trembling while Zhao Yao sat at his original position and finished his meal casually.

Bam! More than ten rebels wearing an a.s.sortment of equipment and carrying various weapons barged in like ruffians and started yelling as they surrounded Zhao Yao.

A rebel leader gazed at Zhao Yao and said, "Are you that Asian bounty hunter? Did you attack three of our strongholds?"

Zhao Yao surveyed the rebels and said telepathically to Merlin, Anthony and Sheriff, "We can't use superpowers as we're in the Forbidden Devil's zone. Looks like there's a Forbidden Devil's apostle here."

Anthony smiled and said sarcastically, "It's ironic that this band of poor rebel soldiers have the Forbidden Devil's Zone supercat. If everyone doesn't have superpowers, aren't they the weakest?"

Zhao Yao's target was to capture the Divine Fire Palace's supercats while completing his mission. He was especially interested in the supercat with the Forbidden Devil's Zone superpower.

He agreed to exterminate the rebel soldiers for the local government as it was worth 5000 experience points.

He could acc.u.mulate supercats and experience points at the same time.

Zhao Yao thought, "With the Forbidden Devil's Zone, Extradimensional Belly and Elizabeth's Control superpower, I should be able to subdue Project X completely. I'll treat Roly Poly and Sphynx cat so that they can help me with the missions and increase my efficiency."

He was not sure if the Forbidden Devil's Zone superpower was effective against the alien cats.   ( B oxnovel.c om )

Zhao Yao's current priority was to fight against the alien cats so he was seeking ways to increase his combat power and efficiency.

Zhao Yao thought that after the trip to America, he would be stronger and could subdue Project X. Then he could revive Roly Poly and Sphynx cat.

The increase in Project X's power went beyond Zhao Yao's expectation. To completely subdue Project X, he had to capture the Forbidden Devil's Zone supercat or complete the upgrades of his supercats. Then he could revive Roly Poly and Sphynx cat.

Zhao Yao thought that the Forbidden Devil's Zone supercat was within his reach. However, the rebels thought otherwise. The rebel leader smiled cruelly as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, "How's that? Did you feel powerless without your superpowers? Fools, don't you know about the Forbidden Devil apostles? Even the Star Cats can't defeat us, you are like ants to us."

Since Zhao Yao captured the nine pioneers of the Star Cats and their supercats, the Star Cats were so badly weakened that they were taken over by the government.

As the Natural Disaster Representatives had lost their superpowers, they lost their ability to control the global US military power and the American supernatural realm declined.

In the desert area, the Star Cats and the US army initially held the upper hand against the rebels and the Divine Fire Palace. Now, they had turned the tables as the rebels were pressing their attacks at the capital's doorstep.

Zhao Yao smiled merrily at them as they were worth a lot of experience points. "Greetings, I surrender. Bring me back to your base."

The rebels looked at each other and felt strange. As they had more men and guns and Zhao Yao was forbidden from using his superpowers, they thought Zhao Yao had no chance at defeating them.

Two rebels came forward to capture Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao frowned. Sounds of tires screeching and gunshots rang outside. Hundreds of American soldiers in the latest battle gear fought into the hotel.

The rebel leader exclaimed, "The Americans are here!"

"Let's fight them!"

"No, defend the hotel! I'm calling reinforcements!"

In the chaotic gunfire, the rebels held their ground in the hotel. As their equipment was inferior, they sustained the growing casualties.

Less than half an hour later, the rebels surrendered and squatted in the courtyard with their hands hugging their heads.

The American troops stormed into the hotel and saw the trembling hotel owner, the waitress and Zhao Yao, who was having his meal.

The American leader, Mike, frowned as he said to Zhao Yao, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhao Yao said harmlessly, "I'm here as a tourist. You don't have to bother about me."

Mike and his adjutant looked at each other. Then Mike waved his hand and said, "Bring him back." He looked at Zhao Yao and said, "I don't care who you are. You better behave yourself. Once we verify your ident.i.ty, we'll let you go."

Looking at the approaching troopers, Zhao Yao sighed and said, "Are you done with all this nonsense?"

A few seconds later, a loud rumbling sound rang in the air as a glow of fire flashed by. The hotel roof was torn open and a young girl with flaming wings wielding a flaming longsword descended from the sky. Her cold gaze, which was filled with murderous intent, was fixed on the American soldiers.
