When she heard Mao Mao's reply, Maria nodded. "The ability to read minds? Thankfully I know this beforehand, or else there might have been unforeseen problems."

At that moment, the sound of cats meowing was heard.

When they heard the sound, Mao Mao and the multicolored cat immediately curled up behind Maria, trembling in fear.

Maria turned and saw Ares, who had brought Lucifer, Fūjin, and the rest over. He pointed to the two cats and said, "The two of you still want to run? I will bring you guys back and tell Zhao Yao!"

Lucifer walked up and said, "I advise you guys not to resist. If I go crazy, even I would be afraid of what I could do." As he said that, Lucifer had already scratched out his brains in a pool of blood to threaten Mao Mao and his comrade, as he licked off the fresh blood on his paw.

"You even catch your own kind!"

How ruthless!"

Mao Mao and the multicolored cat hugged each other and licked each other frantically.

Maria stared at Ares and thought to herself, "This cat's look is… so unique. You can actually style cat fur to look like a dinosaur…"

However, when Maria heard Ares, Lucifer ,and the other cats speaking, her eyes lit up, knowing that these must be Zhao Yao's supercats. She smiled and said kindly, "This Cat Mister, Mao Mao and his friend lost their way. They were lucky they met me and I brought them back. I'll send them back to Cat Wonderland together with you guys."

Ares and the rest felt the same daze affecting their minds. They suddenly felt that Maria was so friendly and sincere and even overlooked the surprising fact that she could communicate with them in the first place.

Ares nodded his head continuously as he replied, "Sure, sure. Let's go back to Cat Wonderland together."

Maria asked, "By the way, what happened to your fur?"

Ares' expression darkened. "Isn't it all because of Zhao Yao? Three days ago, all the cats shat in front of Zhao Yao's house to protest against Zhao Yao's violent cat baths."

"However, not only did Zhao Yao end up bathing us, he even shaved the fur of the supercats who led the protest. My long, soft and white fur was shaved into this silly look as a result."

As Ares said that, he stared at the heart-shaped fur trimmed on his chest. He could not help biting at it as he ranted, "Who needs love!"

Maria nodded silently. "This guy is really horrible to the core. Has he always been suppressing the supercats under him?"

As she walked into the Cat Wonderland with Ares and the other cats, Maria stared at the crowd of people in the main hall and thought to herself, "Better not incite the panic of the ma.s.ses. I shall find a place to wait for Zhao Yao."

At that moment, Maria saw a smiley young man walk over in her direction and ask, "Ares, who is this lady? Is she your friend?"

The stronger the mental strength, the greater the ability to control the Awareness Dimension.

Maria, who had borrowed Giggle's powers, similarly had extraordinary mental strength.

Her acute mental strength equipped her with a strong sensibility.

The moment Bai Quan walked up to them, Maria immediately sensed an immense feeling of threat from him. The hairs on her body stood on their ends immediately, as if she had met a tiger in the woods.

"This person… is very strong. He poses an immense threat to my physical safety. I can't let him do as he wishes." After thinking about it, Maria said to Bai Quan, "Hi, I am Zhao Yao's friend. I came here to wish him a happy birthday."

Bai Quan's mind suddenly felt hazy. The next moment, he broke into a smile and said, "So you're Boss' friend? Please come upstairs. There's still some s.p.a.ce upstairs. Boss might only be able to come over here at night. Please come up and have some food while waiting for him."

Maria continued communicating with him directly through their Awareness. She nodded and said, "Great, could I trouble you to bring me up please?" She glanced at Ares and the other cats and said, "You guys should accompany me upstairs too."

When they found a seat in the buffet-style restaurant upstairs, Bai Quan waved and called over a service crewman. It was Lang Gou, a member of the previous 'Ivory' crew. "Bring some delicious food over here. This is Boss' friend. Treat her nicely."

Lang Gou glanced at Maria. First, he was attracted to her beautiful face and golden hair. His eyes trailed down to her chest area next.

When he saw that full curveline, Lang Gou thought to himself, "This measurement… Boss must think really highly of this friend."

Not long after, Lang Gou filled the table with all kinds of delicacies.

Maria tried a bit of the steak and immediately widened her eyes with delight.

Every bit of the steak oozed with juiciness. The rich flavor of the sauce filled her tastebuds and the meat was unbelievably fresh and tender.

Maria was shocked, "This steak tastes even better than the one I had in the Michelin 3-star restaurant in New York."

Bai Quan smiled and pointed to the plate on the table as he said, "The head chef here was invited over personally by Boss. His standards are very high. You should try his Chinese cuisine."

Not far away from them in the kitchen, Lang Gou said to Midnight, who was preparing the dishes, "Look at that woman, she seems to be eating so happily. Midnight, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

When Midnight heard that, he paused for a moment and thought of all the hard work he put into honing his cooking in the past few months.

He practised his culinary skills day and night. Once a flaw was spotted he was insulted and put down. The food he cooked was be compared against the standards of similar illusory dishes.

The repet.i.tive and rigorous trainings everyday, going back and forth for 50 kilometers. Practising the Britain spoon technique thousands of times and cutting vegetables thousands of times… His originally black hair had even turned snow white from the stress. He was finally able to push his culinary skills to their pinnacle and live on in a dignified manner in the Cat Wonderland.

As Maria was eating, she pushed the plate to Ares, Mao Mao and the other cats and said, "You guys should try this too to see if it's nice."

"Eh? We can eat that too?"

"Zhao Yao will definitely not allow us to eat human food."

"The last time I tried it secretly. I was almost beaten to death."

"Don't worry." Maria stared at their pitiful faces and said, "Just eat it. No one can stop you guys from eating what you guys want to eat today."

Seeing how the supercats wolfed down the food, Maria shook her head, thinking about how these poor cats must have been heavily oppressed in their daily lives.

Not long after they started eating, an orange cat suddenly sauntered over and leapt on the dining table. He stared at Mao Mao, Ares and the other supercats and said, "Ares, what are you guys doing! Why are you all eating where the guests are eating?"

Maria stared at the orange cat in front of her. The cat looked similar to Mao Mao. The only difference was that the fur on this cat's head had been permed into curls that swirled endlessly.

"A curly-furred cat?"

When Matcha heard that, he stared in astonishment at Maria. "Was I exposed? Woman, don't tell other people about this. Everyone treats me like a normal orange cat. They don't know my true ident.i.ty, and I don't want to burden them with it."
