Chapter 221: King George’s Rule
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Zhao Yao had some ideas to convince the cats to crown Matcha as their king and to provide them a comfortable environment to live in. However, the first and most crucial step was to prevent himself and Matcha’s identities from getting exposed.
With a genial smile plastered on his face, Matcha looked at the supercats and Zhao Xue resting on his palm, “Superpower can do this.”
Lion Head struggled to get to her feet. With both fear and curiosity, she looked towards Matcha and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’ve already told you that I’m George Matcha.” Matcha slowly uttered the words to create a dramatic effect. He continued, “The reason for my existence in this world is simple. My only goal is to improve cats’ lives and to alleviate the pain and sufferings they have endured in this world. I will ensure they have food to eat and catmint to sniff on. I’m asking you again, would you join me by naming me your cat king?”
The cats turned around and stared at one another. Evidently, they were still very fearful of George Matcha.
The orange Persian cat, Airplane, was the first cat to step forward and refuted, “I do not submit to your rule! I will never accept you as our leader regardless of how strong you are! I’ll simply leave Jiangmen University if it comes to this!”
“Hmph, Little Airplane, I think you have not learned your lesson.” Matcha reached out his paw as he spoke. The cats detected the presence of an invisible giant paw coming their way as it came swooping towards Airplane. With Airplane firmly grasped in his paw, Matcha began spinning him and toying with his body.
Embarrassment and anger flashed across Airplane’s eyes as his templed throbbed with frustration. He repeatedly meowed at Matcha to get him to stop but was futile in his attempts. Regardless of how his body turned blurry, he was still unable to escape from Matcha’s clutches. Airplane was unable to offer any sorts of resistance as Matcha continued playing with him.
Sweat beaded their foreheads as the supercats and Zhao Xue witnessed Airplane’s humiliation in Matcha’s paws. A thought flashed through all their heads, “This George King ... is too cruel!”
“Huh? Airplane, what did you just say? I can’t really hear you.” Matcha brought Airplane to his eyes and asked, “Did you just say that you agree?”
Airplane who remained in Matcha’s paws nodded his head vigorously.
A contented smile finally found its way to Matcha’s mouth as he once again revealed his genial smile. The halo behind his head shone brighter than ever. Matcha exclaimed, “Great! It’s such a surprise that you’ve turned so sensible. Oh my, look at your fur. You’re almost furless already. Don’t worry, I’ll help you take care of it. You don’t have to thank me.”
Matcha remained indifferent to Airplane’s pleas and struggles as he looked towards the remaining cats and asked, “Look. Airplane is a smart cat and has decided to join my side. How about the rest of you?”
As Matcha spoke, the cats have already detected an invisible force encapsulating their bodies, rendering them incapable of moving.
“Calm down, do not worry. As a cat ... I am known for being a fair cat that never bears grudges. Even if you choose not to join my side and leave Jiangmen University’s territory, I would never hold it against you.”
Uncle Egg bawled his eyes out as he pleaded, “I’m not from Jiangmen University. I’m from the neighboring district, Xiang Yang District.”
“There are no borders in this global cat village that we live in. I am an extremely hospitable cat. Just treat this place like your own home.”
The remaining supercats instantly nodded their heads in agreement when they felt the invisible force crushing against their bodies.
King George then sat his eyes on Zhao Xue as his eyes sparkled with excitement. He announced, “This young kid over here is special, very special. Would you like to be my disciple and learn the art of superpower from me?”
Zhao Xue replied with a look of shock plastered on her face, “Huh? I can actually learn the art of superpower?”
“Of course you can. I know of many superpowers and I can simply pass down a few to you. I’m sure you would benefit immensely from it. I can see that you have a bright future ahead of you and you’re destined for great stuff. You might even be the savior of this world.”
Zhao Xue was excited over the cat’s claims but was rather skeptical seeing all that he had done and said, “Really? That would be great.”
Finally, King George looked towards the cafeteria lady, Aunty Wang, who was already on her knees with her palms clasped together. She cried, “King George, bless me. Please bless my son so that he can enter a reputable university and improve his skills on Mobile Legends.”
King George simply replied, “Lady would you like to join our side and be the protector our territory?”
Aunty Wang immediately kowtowed to King George and exclaimed, “Long live the magnanimous King George!”
With a curl of his lips, Matcha responded, “I’ll just take it that you’ve accepted my offer then.”
Next, everyone’s vision was submerged in darkness as they lost consciousness after Zhao Yao sealed their five senses.
Zhao Yao, Hanako, Matcha and Dust Ball remained standing in the dugout, with bodies of cats, Zhao Xue and Aunty Wang scattered all across the ground.
Naturally, Hanako had no idea what happened within the illusion. In her eyes, the cats, Zhao Xue and Aunty Wang simply collapsed to the floor all of a sudden.
Matcha tapped his paw on Zhao Yao’s feet and asked, “Zhao Yao, will they really listen to my words?”
“Temporarily yes. However, they will definitely start rebelling if we continue to use such lame tricks to scam them. We need to find something to ensure their loyalty in the long run.” Zhao Yao then released his deflective field which morphed into a giant hand and scooped everyone off the floor.
“We have to bring them somewhere else first.” Zhao Yao dragged the hordes of cats to the entrance before finally reaching the school building’s rooftop.
Thankfully, it was extremely late and no one noticed this group of cats which magically levitated from the forests onto the rooftop.
Suddenly, the cats which were unconscious emitted a golden beam from their eyes. From the cat’s perspective, their eyes were swarmed by this blinding golden light before opening their eyes and realizing that they had reached the school building’s rooftop. They noticed an orange cat standing on his hind feet by the edge of the rooftop. His entire body radiated a majestic golden glow and had a beautiful halo at the back of his head. That cat could only be King George.
King George looked towards them with his genial smile and said, “Hi, everyone.”
The mission was completed and Zhao Yao had received 300*2 experience points.
A smile crept up Zhao Yao’s face when he saw his BOOK turning to book: lv4(1958/5000).
“At this rate, I can upgrade both Elizabeth and Matcha after receiving the experience points from my monthly mission.”
For the next few days, Zhao Yao had brought along Hanako as they hid behind Matcha’s back and helped him continue his pretense as King George, solidifying his rule over Jiangmen University.
Boasting his human intellect and life experience, Zhao Yao easily won the hearts of the stray cats with his tricks. He won them over with lots of canned food, catmint, cat toys, and cat tidbits. He even sent the injured cats to a pet hospital. By using his power of illusion from time to time, he had temporarily secured his position as cat king.
The next pressing issue was the problem of food. Hence, Zhao Yao instructed Aunty Wang to prepare meals for the stray cats, with the money coming from Zhao Yao. It was a far cry from the rubbish that they were used to.
Luckily, the money used to buy the ingredients was not included in the cat café’s operating costs. Looking at Zhao Yao’s bank account, this money was totally negligible. Next, Zhao Yao began selecting the older cats amongst them for sterilization. This was to help him prevent the cats from non-stop reproduction to control their population and relieve them from the sufferings of estrus.
Without having to worry about their three meals, the stray cats naturally had more time to spare and would spend most of their time in the dugout. Zhao Yao had hence selected the dugout as the stray cats’ official base.
Without having to mend his café, Zhao Yao was able to complete the laborious task required to provide a comfortable environment for the stray cats. The extra cash in his hand definitely helped as well.
Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he watched the stray cats running around the dugout, chasing each other with a smile on their faces. “It’s finally time to move on to my chain mission.”
The simplest solution was to throw the two supercats into his extradimensional belly, but it would bring about many undesired effects.
Zhao Yao had carefully considered the situation in it. He realized that the extradimensional belly was currently too small and too plain. It was a torture for eight supercats to live in there. There were bound to be problems if he forced ten supercats into that confined space in the long run. Ares and gang would definitely cause trouble, stemming from their hatred towards Zhao Yao.
Furthermore, this was only the first of his chain mission to establish the cat kingdom. There would only be more and more cats inside his belly.
The concern remained on Zhao Yao’s head as he ran around, taking care of business at Jiangmen University. Finally, he had some ideas to address the problem. He would combine the dugout with his extradimensional belly to establish a true cat base, or maybe even a hideout. It would truly become a Village of Dreams. The dugout would help compensate the shortcomings of the extradimensional belly.
The actual steps which he would take to realize this was dependent on the new skills his supercats received from upgrading. In the worst case scenario, he would solely rely on Elizabeth’s illusion to address these problems.
“Tonight will be the night. I’ll see what powers I get from upgrading Matcha and Elizabeth using the points from the monthly mission.”
