Zhao Yao smirked, “Then I guess I can’t let you guys off that easily.”

“Is it?” Metalman broke into evil laughter. “You want to kill me? Come on! Try me!”

At this moment, a helping hand reached out to metalman from behind him, hidden from Zhao Yao’s line of sight.

It turned out that metalman was just acting as a cover for his partner to rescue him.

As the hand grabbed hold of metalman’s shoulder, the floor around them started to shake vigorously as if the floor turned into mud. In an instant, metalman sank into the ground with incredible speed.

Zhao Yao knew that he would not be able to do anything if both of them sank into the ground.

However, just as the two of them began to sink into the ground, Zhao Yao activated time freeze yet again. Not only was metalman buying time for his partner, but the cooldown timer on time freeze was also causing Zhao Yao to lose precious time.

As time froze, Zhao Yao walked straight behind metalman and took a closer look at the hand on metalman’s shoulder.

Zhao Yao borrowed Elizabeth’s power, and just as time reverted back to normal speed, his eyes were already glowing red.

However, he failed to control the owner of the hand. The power failed to take effect!

“What?” Zhao Yao gasped in disbelief as the hand sank into the ground with half of metalman’s body already in the ground.

Ever since Zhao Yao cracked the case of the killer cat, Elizabeth’s loyalty level had risen to 95 points, which also means that the success rate of Elizabeth’s power is also 95%. It is already almost impossible for Zhao Yao to fail while using Elizabeth’s power.

It had to fail at this crucial moment.

There was no time to think. Zhao Yao instantly switched target to metalman. Metalman’s body froze and started to slow down as he sank.

However, the person below reacted with even greater power, turning the floor around them into a liquid-like state. Although Zhao Yao’s power was lifting metalman from the ground, the other party refused to give up and continued to drag metalman deeper into the ground, away from Zhao Yao’s line of sight.

Before he disappeared, metalman glared at Zhao Yao in the eye as if he was saying, “I will find you eventually.”

Suddenly, metalman’s metal skin started to fade away as Zhao Yao’s power started to kick in and prevented metalman from using his power.

With the fading of the metal skin, metalman suddenly became a lot lighter and started sinking at an incredibly slow speed.

Zhao Yao gathered more power to lift metalman out of the ground. metalman reacted by grabbing the hand on his shoulder. Without the burden of the metal shell, metalman was able to utilize his full strength and started to tug and pull on the hand.

The floor around them continued to liquefy and wobble like water; It was starting to be difficult for the person to use the surrounding ground as a support. As metalman continued to tug and pull, he managed to sink a little, but the lack of support caused the person underneath to surface for a while.

The person was a plump man with a pale-stricken face. Seeing that he was dragged out by metalman, he panicked and stared around with a frightened look in his eyes. Momentarily, he lost control of metalman’s body.

Just as the fatty surfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao instantly switched his target to him and let go of metalman.

“What?” The fatty’s body froze.

As metalman’s head resurfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao already had the situation fully under his control.

Fatty’s liquidation power seemed to only work within a one-meter radius. The ground beyond its effective range seemed to be as firm as usual. At this instant, both metalman and the fatty were half-soaked in a pool of liquefied ground.

Metalman grunted and roared at the top of his lungs. He swam to the nearest solid ground and was just about to charge towards Zhao Yao and attack him when suddenly Zhao Yao de-activated fatty’s power, causing metalman’s lower body to be trapped in the ground.

Upon doing so, fatty gradually surfaced from the liquefied ground, dragging metalman along with him.

Metalman was completely drained of energy from his final move. His joints and knees have already shown signs of fracture and shattering. As a matter of fact, metalman already felt pain in his knees right from the beginning. If not for his superior genes, he might not be able to move at all.

Metalman had exceeded his limits of battle and was completely helpless as Fatty dragged him along on the floor.

Upon seeing the dissatisfied look on metalman’s face, Zhao Yao smirked, “Alright, let’s go now. Make sure you tell me who your boss is along the way.”

Though metalman appeared to be displeased on the outside, he was in fact secretly fearful of Zhao Yao.

“The ability to control humans, freeze time and the ability to control the mind.” Metalman thought to himself. “Just how strong is this guy? Judging solely by his powers, he seems to be as strong as boss especially since he owns so many different types of abilities. How does he do it?...”

The thing that bothered metalman especially was the fact that Zhao Yao was so composed throughout the fight and could come out with swiftly decisions to deal with any problem.

Zhao Yao controlled Fatty away from the place, dragging metalman along with him. Although he wished to be on good terms with someone as rich Xiao Ming, it was clearly not the right time.

Matcha sat quietly in Zhao Yao’s arms and purred, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, what do you plan to do with this two? Are we gonna kill them? We could bring them to the outskirts of the town, burn them and feed their remains to stray dogs.”

Zhao Yao knocked Matcha on the head and reprimanded, “Watch your mouth, will you? Who said anything about killing people? After all, this is about stealing cats. Why resort to killing?”

As he finished his sentence, a voice surfaced in their minds. “What about me? What are you going to do with me?”

He could feel the cat trembling behind him, and he replied with a smile, “Don’t you worry, we won’t do anything bad. Just refrain from using your powers openly, or it would just be a matter of time before you get caught. Let’s just stay in my house for the time being. ”

As they reached the mall, Zhao Yao instantly sensed an incoming danger. Ever since he shared the power the cats, he always trusted his sixth sense and instincts. Zhao Yao immediately disappeared and was nowhere to be seen in a flash.

As he disappeared, both Fatty and metalman fell towards the ground at the same time. A police raid siren reverberated throughout the neighborhood, and many armed police officers stormed into the area.

Just as the tranquilizer was shot, Zhao Yao had already disappeared from the line of sight and was hiding in a dark corner of an alley.

The drastic change of events left Zhao Yao in a state of shock. “What’s happening? Why the sudden raid?”

As he stared at Fatty and metalman who were lying on the floor, Zhao Yao decided against going back right now to snatch them away. He intended to activate time freeze later on and take them with him.

This cat thief’s organization began to attract Zhao Yao’s attention as he read the new mission that was transmitted to the mission panel.
