On seeing Dust Ball’s changing expression, Zhao Yao continued, “Of course, if you are willing to apologize, you are still my agriculture minister. My large miles of fertile farmland will be managed by you.”

After hearing his words, Dust Ball’s face revealed signs of hesitation.

Zhao Yao doubled up and said, “Haven’t you thought of selling catmint? If you apologize sincerely, I will help you sell the catmint and you do not have to pay me.”

Red Packet was shocked. “Zhao Yao, you do not want our money?”

“Nope.” Zhao Yao thought, “I have billions sleeping in the bank, what I want now is not money.” He looked at the Burning Exclamation Mark above Dust Ball’s head. “What I want is the chance for the lottery.”

Upon seeing Dust Ball’s hesitation, Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly, who was on his shoulder, and chatted privately, “Roly Poly, help me coax him.”

Roly Poly looked at Dust Ball and said discreetly, “Dust Ball, agree quickly. His mood isn’t that great. If you do not agree, he might just burn your catmint farm.”

Finally, Dust Ball yielded and said, “Zhao Yao, will you help us sell the catmint?” Dust Ball thought, “Although this fellow is unscrupulous, with his help, the success rate will be much higher.”

Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and said, “Tell me what you know about the matter in its entirety.”

After a long conversation, Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball with satisfaction and said, “Dust Ball, do you require my help?”

Dust Ball was a cat that received missions before. After hearing Zhao Yao, she immediately reacted. It seemed like there was a mission displayed above her head, no wonder Zhao Yao had his eyes on her.

Dust Ball sighed, no sure whether to laugh or cry. Upon recalling the mission targets who were being helped, she could not help shiver a bit and thought, “Tell me earlier that you want the mission, I will have complied earlier.”

Hence, she quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes, Zhao Yao, please help us sell the catmint.” b

Mission: Dust Ball’s Ambition

Mission Objective: Help Dust Ball control the entire Jianghai catmint market

Reward: Every increment of 1% of market share in the catmint market allows a single lottery chance per month

Mission Penalty: None

After the mission had appeared, Zhao Yao’s eyes illuminated. “Such fine ability that I have, this mission is generated very well, just what I needed the most.”

Zhao Yao was full of enthusiasm after the appearance of the mission. He contemplated on the intelligence provided by Dust Ball and the rest. He analyzed in his mind, “The catmint in the Extradimensional Belly were grown using Light of Creation. In terms of taste, texture and nutrition, it was far superior than normal catmint. Logically, domination of the entire Jianghai market is just a matter of time.”

“However…” Zhao Yao turned his head and looked at that middleman cat again. “Surprisingly, there is catmint that is superior than Dust Ball’s catmint. The only possibility is that the competitor has a supernatural ability to improve the catmint quality. It is better to figure the background of the competitor.”

At this thought, Zhao Yao said, “Prepare yourselves, we shall look for that white cat to buy catmint later.”

“Ah?” Fish Ball asked with bewilderment, “We are supposed to sell catmint, aren’t we? Why do we have to buy?”

“Fool.” Red Packet said, “This move is called nothing ventured, nothing gained. We will pretend to buy catmint and find out the truth about the competitor and the reason for the high quality catmint.”

“Not bad.” As Zhao Yao was speaking, he snapped his finger to activate the illusive magic, changing himself into an orange cat. “Let’s go. Remember, I am your boss, my family business is coal mining, very rich. Dust Ball, you are secretary. Fish Ball and Red Packet are both bodyguards. It was Preserved Egg who introduced us.”

In a normal condominium, the landlord and landlady were on the floor. They looked like they were sleeping.

Midnight sat at the dining table by the side, furrowing his brows as he operated on the computer, “Old K, any news about the headless horseman?”

Old K was lying on the sofa, playing with his handphone. After hearing Midnight, he said, “No, not that easy. The goods have just started selling and not really rolled out yet. Moreover, we are unable to find him, else we would not be making such a move.”

“Yes.” Mushroom head youth took out a bottle of milk from the fridge. He drank as he spoke, “If we knew that the headless horseman was so difficult to find, we should have sold all the goods via the shop channels once we arrived. Currently, we have no useful intelligence even after looking for so many people.”

He abruptly furrowed his brows and looked at the milk that he held in his hands. “Ah, it is chocolate flavour. Can’t this family just buy plain milk?”

Midnight looked at the information recorded in the computer and compared to the name list booklet held in his hand. He said, “Before headless horseman’s debut, it is impossible not to have records.”

Mushroom Head took a bottle of yoghurt from the fridge, nodded his head and said, “Correct, the identity of the headless horseman must have been created after he had fully developed his ability. Before that, he definitely must have left some trails, just that nobody had connected the trails and the headless horseman together.”

Midnight scanned line by line all the intelligence collected during this time. He slowly said, “When capturing a murderer, the first crime scene is always the crux to solving the crime. The same applies to the headless horseman. Every time he appeared, no trails were left so it was hard to find any real evidence.

If we can find the locations where he appeared the first few times, at that time, he would not be that mature and experienced, there would be more evidence left behind.”

Mushroom Head said, “You found it?”

Midnight shook his head and said, “The revealed abilities of Headless horseman include invisibility, illusive magic, teleporting and force field. His first famous location was at the cat king competition. A few weeks before the competition, he had already appeared in the Jianghai city doing chivalrous acts. That was the actual time period that he first appeared in the supernatural realm.”

He operated on the computer and opened up a few listings. “I compared God of Death’s compiled list of supercats and apostles in Jianghai. Under the columns with the four abilities, invisibility, illusive magic, teleporting and force field, there are two hundred and four targets. From that number, fourteen of them had not revealed their true identities. Out of this fourteen, eight of them had not emerged after the appearance of the headless horseman.”

Midnight squinted his eyes and scanned through numerous photographs. “Headless horseman could be one of these eight targets. However, they were not easy leads as their actual identities and locations were unknown. The informant that was related to these eight targets…” As he was speaking, he compared the name list in his hand and circled a few names and then thought for a while. Then he circled Xiao Shiyu’s name.
