Chapter 837: Moral Backbone and the Gunshot

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Tom, the Garfield cat who had insulted Cameron previously, started laughing in glee when he saw the gun being pointed at Cameron (Fish Ball).

“Haha, Cameron, you’re so unlucky. You’re the biggest jinx in the world. He actually pointed to you out of all the cats here.”

When the gun pointed at him, Fish Ball felt his whole body freeze on the spot. An unprecedented sense of fear arrested his whole body.

He conversed anxiously to Zhao Yao telepathically, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! What should I do! Quick save me!”

Zhao Yao said hesitantly, “You just wait for a while first. I think I can’t use my superpowers anymore.”

“What the f*ck!” Hearing Zhao Yao’s reply, Fish Ball began shedding fur all over his body.

“Is this the fear of death?”

“This time even Zhao Yao can’t save me?” Fish Ball felt a warm feeling run through his body. “Should I be a coward forever? Or should I be a hero for once? Even if it’s only for a few minutes?”

“Ah!”

After an ear-splitting scream, Fish Ball had already slumped on the floor, flipping around wildly in front of the man in black.

“Nonsense! As long as I can live, so what if I am a coward? This coward is one I’ll definitely be!”

Just after he counted 1, the leader of the men in black saw Fish Ball screaming in front of him before collapsing to the ground to beg for mercy. However, he just shook his head and said, “There’s no use pleading with me. Blame Arthas if you want. We are not after any of you guys. As long as Arthas comes out, I promise I will let all of you off.”

This was obviously a move to pressure Arthas.

Tom told the Ragdoll cat beside him, “Do you see that, Selena? Cameron is just a useless cat. You should have broken up with him a long time ago.”

The Ragdoll cat did not reply but stared at Fish Ball in disdain.

Zhao Yao was speechless at what Fish Ball was doing too. “Why are you begging him? Do you know you look like you have no moral backbone at all?”

Fish Ball was angry. “He didn’t point a gun at you. Of course it’s easy for you to say that. I’m about to die right now. What’s wrong with begging for mercy.”

Zhao Yao was exasperated. “You don’t need to be scared as long as I’m here.”

Fish Ball retorted, “Why are you still putting on a strong front when you have no superpowers? Everyone is in the same boat now. Who knows, maybe the way you beg for mercy will be even more humiliating than mine!”

The vein on Zhao Yao’s head popped as he said coldly, “Although I can’t use my superpowers now, I can still use my power of six cats.”

Fish Ball suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He cursed at himself in his heart. “D*mn! How did I forget about that! Zhao Yao is now a devil-like muscle man!”

He immediately begged Zhao Yao for mercy, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I was talking rubbish just now. Please don’t take it to heart. I’m good friends with Matcha, even if you don’t like me, at least save me on behalf of Matcha.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely save you or else Xiao Yu will trouble me to no end.”

Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief. With Zhao Yao, who had the power of six cats, backing him up, he suddenly felt like his legs were no longer in pain, his waist no longer sore and his heart no longer afraid.

He stood up in a sudden and stared arrogantly at the leader of the men in black and scoffed, “Hey kiddo, kill me if you dare. Come come come, shoot here. You see this?”

Seeing how Fish Ball shouted as he kept patting his head, the leader of the black men was stunned. He did not understand what this cat was doing.

Fish Ball stretched out a paw and pointed to the other party. “Don’t think I’m scared of you just because you have a gun. Although I have no superpowers now, I still have a heart full of courage and justice. Even if I die, I will not beg for mercy from a scoundrel like you.”

The humans did not understand what Fish Ball was saying, but the supercats around them did. Their gazes immediately lit up with admiration, idolization, and respect for Fish Ball.

Tom was shocked. “What the f*ck? Since when was this Cameron so ballsy?”

Beside him, Selena’s gaze also lit up while staring at Fish Ball, “I didn’t think Cameron was a cat of such character.”

The surrounding supercats all started meowing as they cheered, “Well said! Cameron! We are not scared of these humans!”

In the few minutes where Fish Ball gave his speech and the supercats around them started cheering in unison, Zhao Yao began thinking rapidly in his mind.

Given his rich experience in battles ever since he discovered his superpower and with the superior physical strength and intellect given to him by the power of the six cats, he was able to think more critically and even faster about the situation at hand.

“Looking at the situation now, this supercat Arthas went into hiding while the armed forces are standing in the open, using hostages to threaten Arthas into appearing.”

“However, aside from the armed forces, there is actually another cat hiding in the dark. It’s the supercat or apostle that took away the effects of all our superpowers.”

“What Arthas wants to do the most now is to find this cat or person while in hiding and finish off the other party with his henchmen. The remaining armed forces wouldn’t be a problem then.”

“What the other party wants, on the other hand, is to find Arthas and kill him in this anti-superpower area.”

“Whoever gets caught first loses,” Zhao Yao thought. “The scene looks really rowdy but in fact, the true powers of both parties are all hidden. These guys would be fighting over who’s the best at hiding, and might even have some other trump card under their sleeves. I should observe a bit more for the time being and refrain from making the first move.”

On the other hand, though the leader of the men in black did not understand the cat language, he definitely realized that the situation had changed and bellowed, “Arthas, since you refuse to come out, I will kill this cat!”

As he said that, his finger moved and slowly pressed down on the trigger.

Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. As he became extremely nervous, he became very focused. Under a superhuman mental state, the world around him seemed to slow down.

It was just like the world had been when he used supersonic teleportation after he had been strengthened with the power of the six cats.

He could even see a drop of sweat slowly dropping off from the chin of the men in black’s leader, and the leader’s finger moving millimeter by millimeter on the trigger.

Right before the leader of the men in black pulled on the trigger fully, Zhao Yao had lightly tapped his finger on the floor. An enormous, wild burst of energy surged like a dragon circling through the air as everyone near them felt the floor vibrate vigorously.

As the floor shook, the leader of the men in black lost balance, tilting the aim of his rifle as he pulled the trigger.

Fish Ball lost his balance too and collapsed to the ground when it suddenly vibrated.

One party had a slanted aim while the other collapsed on the floor. Hence, when the leader of the men in black pulled on the trigger fully, the shot was slanted and the bullet burst through a nearby window. Fish Ball, on the other hand, was totally unharmed.

Fish Ball got a shock when he heard the gunshot. He started licking his body immediately. When he realized that he was totally fine, he exhaled deeply out of relief.
