The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Yao’s bloody face and was worried about him. On the other hand, Promise was hoping that the Headless Horseman kicked the bucket as soon as possible.
Zhao Yao said to Sphynx cat, “Put this woman and all the fallen apostles into the Extradimensional Belly. We are leaving.”
Sphynx cat shoved Promise and the fallen apostles into the Dimension Portal.
Zhao Yao smiled satisfactorily at the increasing experience points on the mission panel. He was very pleased with the reward as the supercats were able to upgrade to the next level.
The middle-aged man said, “Headless Horseman, you have saved the city. I am grateful to you.”
“It is a small matter.” Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, “Report the situation to your superior. There are some apostles stationed outside. I am going to capture them.”
Although there were only dozens of apostles left, they were still worth a few hundred experience points. Zhao Yao was going to reap all available experience points.
With Zhao Yao’s bloody face and his trembling body, he looked as though he might collapse any time from the poison attack. The middle-aged man was full of respect for Zhao Yao as he was going after the apostles even when he was in a critical condition. “It is not necessary. You have helped us a lot. As for the loose ends, leave them to us. You better hurry over to the hospital.”
“Not necessary?” Zhao Yao glared at the middle-aged man and said, “I am telling you. I will capture them for sure.” After pondering for a while, Zhao Yao secretly told Elizabeth to control the middle-aged man and steal his cell phone to prevent him from contacting his superior. He didn’t want the government apostles to capture the remaining insignificant enemies.
The middle-aged man discovered his body was controlled and he said in shock, “Headless Horseman, what are you doing?”
Zhao Yao said with a strong sense of righteousness, “Do not underestimate the remaining apostles. Whether they are Virtual Spirit-Body or the Dark Scorch, they are both dangerous superpowers. Leave the dangerous tasks to me.” He inhaled a gust of cold air and vomited blood.
The middle-aged man looked astonished at Zhao Yao, his heart full of reverence for the hero as he said, “I heard that the Headless Horseman was a big bully in Jianghai inspiring much hatred from both humans and supercats, a ruthless despot.
They are false rumors. The Headless Horseman is actually a virtuous and self-sacrificing hero.”
The middle-aged man said, “No, I can’t allow this hero to shed more tears and blood. You have done enough. Let me tie up the loose ends.”
Zhao Yao gazed at him and he stared back.
Looking at his serious face, Zhao Yao signaled to Elizabeth. The middle-aged man collapsed to the ground after losing his five senses.
“Humph, thinking of robbing my experience points? You think too much.”
Zhao Yao brought Catherine into the Extradimensional Belly and saw the three armies being imprisoned in three different sections.
The apostles of the Dark Scorch Army were tied to steel columns and they knelt on the ground.
On their right, the Virtual-Spirit apostles were unconscious and were thrown onto the ground haphazardly.
To the right of the Virtual-Spirit apostles was Ark Army’s Promise, who knelt on the ground, sizing up the Extradimensional Belly and Sphynx cat sprawling nearby.
She looked in surprise at Rice Cake and Gaia, who were locked up in the prisoners’ cage, at the hardworking supercats in the catmint farm and the supercats that were playing computer games and watching videos.
“The Headless Horseman possessed this many supercats? With the Dimension Portal superpower, he is able to bring all these supercats to battle at any time and location?” Promise contemplated, “He is using computers and computer games to enslave the supercats. That is why we can’t defeat him.”
Zhao Yao looked at the three armies and focused on Ark’s Promise and Dark Scorch’s Black Tiger. He shouted to them, “Hey, where are your remaining apostles? Contact them.”
Promise understood that he was using them to capture the remaining apostles. She pondered and said, “What do you intend to do to us?”
Zhao Yao glanced at her and said, “Once you have stayed here for 24 hours and lose all your superpowers, I will hand all of you to the police.”
Promise said, “Let’s make a deal, you will release me and I hand over the Ark Army to you.”
Black Tiger sneered and said, “Promise, you are betraying your own people?”
Promise spoke boldly, “He who understands the times is a wise man. Headless Horseman is the most powerful apostle. It is not shameful if I submit to him...”
She screamed as she was interrupted. Numerous human figures squirmed out from her back. They were apostles from the Ark Army that had integrated her body.
They heard her words and were unwilling to surrender without a fight.
They were subdued by Sphynx cat the moment they squirmed out of her body. They were tied with steel columns and made to kneel down on the ground. After which, they cursed and swore at Promise.
Promise was indifferent, she spat out the remaining apostles and said to Zhao Yao, “Headless Horseman, the apostles who integrated my body are all here. I can call the remaining apostles out and help you capture them as long as you release me.”
Zhao Yao said, “Good, call them now and gather them together. I will release you.”
Promise smiled and said, “Do you think I am a fool? Release me first. I will ask them to exit. I have some savings in Ivory. If you release me, I will give you 30 million.”
“Uh?” Zhao Yao was suddenly enlightened as he thought, “Yes, what’s the use of defeating them if I do not empty them of their fortune? I almost forgot about extorting them. My bad, I am too careless.”
Promise noticed that Zhao Yao had abruptly changed, his body emitting a terrifying aura and the surrounding air became heavier and almost suffocating.
She was astonished and thought, “This is the aura of a powerful apostle. I am able to feel the pressure of his every movement? I thought it was an urban myth. Now I have witnessed an actual person with this ability.”
Zhao Yao said, “30 million is not enough. I want all your money. Are the remaining apostles and supercats in your body?”
“Not possible.” Promise was stunned and wanted to retort. Zhao Yao slashed and amputated his own hand. “D*mn”
He saw her gasp in ‘pain’ and said, “If you don’t comply, I will amputate your hand next.”
