The attack that day, although three of the last four wild apostles were arrested, it still caused a bad impact.
Although the government covered up the news with the excuse of a gas explosion and a water pipe explosion, there were still countless rumors circulating on the Internet, which were discussed enthusiastically by people.
Although many of the Death King's sockpuppets were arrested, the whereabouts of his real body was still unknown, which caused a very bad impact on the higher-ups. The atmosphere of mutual suspicion spread for a while.
The only consolation was that Sun Meng was arrested. Through Sun Meng, Old He and the others found the three Ragdoll kittens. It turned out that the three Ragdoll kittens had been carried by another of the Death King's parasites. They had been following not far away, waiting for support at any time.
After all, the Superpower Cats were too precious. Although they needed their abilities, Sun Meng and the others did not dare to let the cats go to the frontline.
With these three Ragdoll kittens, the victims who had been in a coma and turned into vegetative people had all recovered and their abilities were removed.
From a more profound perspective, the whole incident caused the hard-line leaders in the government who were originally against the Superpower Cats to show signs of rising.
As for one of the protagonists of the incident, Zhao Yao was currently sitting in Old He's office, rubbing his chin helplessly.
'I can't believe it's this big. If I knew those guys had caused such a big trouble and were being targeted like this, I wouldn't have made a move.' Zhao Yao now regretted making a move. He had exposed a lot of his strength.
His current ability was already very strong. His perfect illusion was enough to deal with more than 99% of opponents. Time stop, Dimensional Stomach Bag, and Ares made him almost invincible.
Coupled with the space-time distortion (rebirth) effect caused by Time Stop, and the escape ability of the Dimensional Stomach Bag, his survival ability was also incredibly strong. He was basically not afraid of more than 99% of sneak attacks.
However, he still did not like to expose his ability.
Because for people with superpower, the secret of their ability was too important.
No matter how strong a person was, once all his abilities and trump cards were known, he could easily be targeted, defeated, or even killed.
'Fortunately, the most important Time Stop and the space-time distortion (rebirth) accompanying Time Stop were not exposed.'
On the other side of the table, Old He looked at Zhao Yao's constantly changing expression. He seemed to know what Zhao Yao was worried about, so he said directly, "Don't worry. Although many people know that you defeated those four guys, only Little Wei has a rough idea of your ability. The others don't understand it at all, or rather, Little Wei didn't see it too clearly. Do you want to tell me?"
Seeing the wretched look on Lao He's face, Zhao Yao curled his lips and said, "Anyway, you will interrogate Sun Meng and the others, right? Just get it from their mouths. " He thought to himself, Yes, it's a good thing I have that water dragon. When I fight, the water splashes all over the sky, and the spectators can't see my ability clearly. They'll probably misunderstand it as teleportation, invulnerability, or something like that, right?
Old He rolled his eyes and said, "You brat, how can they explain it better than you?"
Zhao Yao picked his ear and said, "Alright, alright. Tell me, why did you call me here? My shop is very busy. You'll have to pay for the delay."
"You brat." Old He glared at him and said, "Do you know that because of this matter of yours, the bureau has been in an uproar? How many people want to lock up your people, steal your cats, and raid your shop? I was the one who stopped them all."
In reality, it was not that simple. After discovering Zhao Yao's extraordinary strength, the higher-ups had a very intense discussion. Some of the leaders of the hardline faction insisted on nationalizing Zhao Yao's Super Cats. The reason was that these abilities were too dangerous, and it was also to prevent what had happened today from happening again.
And this was only a small step. What they wanted was to carry out a nationwide crackdown and strictly control all the wild apostles and Superpowered cats. They even carried out a large-scale campaign to capture Superpowered cats so that they could control all the Superpowered cats in their hands.
However, a moderate like Chief He obviously could not accept this kind of plan.
How many Super Cats and Apostles were there in the country?
A few thousand?
Tens of thousands?
Even Old He did not know, but once the government started a bloody suppression mode, in Old He's eyes, it would be the source of unrest.
Right now, it was only a small group of Apostles who had some unrealistic fantasies. However, once the government took the initiative to take forceful measures, it would place itself on the opposite side of all the wild apostles and Super Cats.
Even the United States did not dare to declare war on all the Apostles. Even if they won, in the end, all the opposition would be destroyed, and all the Super Cats would be controlled. Who knew how much the country would lose?
Seeing that the argument was getting more and more intense, it was Old Zhuang who made the final decision. He rejected the hardline faction's plan and mainly tried to win over Zhao Yao.
Looking up at Zhao Yao in front of him, Old He said, "Many big leaders wanted your Super Cats by name, but I stopped them all. You have no idea how much pressure I was under."
Old He used all his strength to brag about his achievements. At the same time, he wanted to scare Zhao Yao.
"It was me who stopped them all by myself. I tried everything I could to persuade them, called everywhere, and used my connections to calm them down."
Zhao Yao looked at Old He in surprise and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you. Are you alright? It won't affect your position, right? "
Lao He narrowed his eyes and smiled. It was rare for him to see Zhao Yao so embarrassed, especially when he was so humble toward him. It made him secretly happy. "You finally know how to say thank you, but I can't protect you forever. You should join the bureau. Your ability, identity, and military record will all be kept secret. Only a small number of the higher-ups will know about it."
Zhao Yao pouted and said, "But Xiao Wei, Xiao Shiyu, and the others know about it, right? Are they considered higher ranks? "
"Cough cough!" Old He said, "I have already talked to them. They will definitely keep it a secret. Don't worry. You have to trust the organization."
Zhao Yao asked, "Then what do I need to do after joining?"
"Most of the time, you can do whatever you want. It's your free time. You can also run a coffee shop if you want. However, if there are any troublesome matters, I might need your help. "
"Alright." Zhao Yao nodded. He felt that it was acceptable. He then asked, "Do you have money?" He laughed. "I helped you get rid of four powerful people this time. Aren't you going to give me a few million to spend?"
Just as Zhao Yao agreed, the interface changed.
"External mission access ability activated!"
An unknown text flashed in front of Zhao Yao. The next moment, Zhao Yao could clearly see a gray exclamation mark suddenly appearing on Old He's head.
"What the hell?"
Old He, who was on the other side, continued Zhao Yao's previous words. "Tens of millions? Do you know how much our annual budget is? Where do we get so much money for you?" But his tone changed, and Old He immediately comforted him. "But we will definitely not mistreat a hero. We can't let a hero bleed and cry."
Old He felt like he was coaxing a child. Zhao Yao was too important now. He had to put in more effort to coax him.
Old He coughed and said, "Don't you like to open a coffee shop? The second floor of your coffee shop is a clothing store. It has more than a hundred square meters of space. From today onwards, the upper and lower floors are yours. The transfer procedures will be completed before this weekend. By then, you can build a staircase to connect the two floors. Or you can rent out the second floor. It's up to you. "
"Ah!!" Zhao Yao suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "Not bad, Old He. You're suddenly so generous."
Zhao Yao deeply understood that in such a big shopping mall in a prime location, two floors of more than a hundred square meters each, with the university town and subway station nearby, it was worth at least tens of millions. Now, it was all his. Moreover, this kind of shop was very popular. Generally, even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.
Old He looked at Zhao Yao's happy face and laughed in his heart. He said, "I told you to trust the organization and trust me."
"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Yao was excited. "This way, the coffee shop's area will increase, and the income will double. I was worried that the coffee shop will not have enough people to sit in recently. Also, I won't have to pay rent anymore. Haha, even if I don't open a coffee shop in the future, with these two floors, I won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life. I can just eat and wait for death.
But he could not help but look at the gray exclamation mark on Old He's head. He suddenly asked, "Old He, do you need my help with anything?"
"Do you want me to buy you a pack of cigarettes? Or a bottle of water? Or a bread or something? "
"Or I can kill twenty mice for you?"
