Chapter 164: The Captured Cat (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
In the evening, Ma Wei, who had just returned to Flower Street from the Havefling district, took the latest issue of the Times Evening News at the door and walked into the store, and Edward was the only one behind the counter.
"What about the Felix?"
"He's out the door." Edward said: "Helena Sheffield came to him in the afternoon and asked him out for dinner. ”
As soon as the matter of the Educators' Association came out, Helena asked the communication to go out, which made it difficult not to think of the eldest prince, and Ma Wei estimated that it was most likely that the eldest prince wanted to get some news from the communication, so he instructed Helena to come forward.
The communication, which had been vaccinated a long time ago, would definitely not be involved with the eldest prince, so Ma Wei was not worried that he would say anything, and after closing the door of the store, he went directly into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Neither Incoming nor Daniel are at home, and Edward doesn't eat human food, so Mavi only needs to prepare dinner for two.
After cleaning up the charcoal ash in the stove, Ma Wei decided to stir-fry a few side dishes, and has been out for the past two days, eating Western food, just to change the taste.
Edward was not idle, and after closing the business, he went to Russell Benjamin's private apartment in London, took out the letters in the mailbox, and flew back to Flower Street in the night as a bat.
Russell Benjamin was elusive, often couldn't find anyone, and gave the address of a private apartment in London, but he didn't live in it, and the last time the eldest prince knocked on the door when he passed by, there was no one at home.
As the chairman of Benjamin's construction company, Russell Benjamin owned more than one house, and even the eldest prince did not live in Clarence Palace every day, and occasionally went to the villa or other estate for vacation, as was the case with most nobles.
In the hotel opposite the private apartment, a middle-aged man in a gray tweed coat with a scruffy beard bites the cigarette butt in his mouth, his face is pale and bloodless, with a shotgun at his feet, a telescope in his hand, a pair of blue-gray, bloodshot eyes staring at the window of the apartment, his right leg shaking anxiously, and the floor creaking.
"What the hell...," he muttered, "Mr. Butler told me to keep an eye on Russell Benjamin, but this guy didn't show up..."
As a clerk personally appointed by Mr. Housekeeper, the middle-aged man has strong business ability and has never missed, but this time....
He hadn't even seen the target!
To carry out the mission, of course, you have to give the identity information of the opponent, but Mr. Butler did not provide him with information about Russell Benjamin this time, and he did not even have a photo, only a business card.
According to the address on the business card, the middle-aged man came to this private apartment, he came a week ago, rented a room in the hotel opposite, and thought that he would secretly follow and monitor Russell Benjamin when he went out, but he didn't come home at all!
One stay is 7 days!
In the past 7 days, the middle-aged man eats and drinks Lazar in the room, a strong sense of responsibility and superb professionalism make him have a crazy obsession with completing the task, everything must be left behind before the goal is achieved, fortunately the money is given, otherwise the hotel owner would have rushed in to see what he was doing!
In the evening, just when the middle-aged man thought that he would not be able to squat again, Edward suddenly came from the corner of the street, walked into the private apartment, and opened the door of Russell Benjamin's apartment.
"It's finally here!"
Ecstasy instantly filled the middle-aged man's chest, he did not hesitate to spit out the cigarette butt out of the window, ignoring the screams from downstairs, staring intently at Edward in the room, looking at it, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"It's like Russell Benjamin's butler.... Wearing a butler's uniform.... Never mind! It's all the same! Follow the butler to find the master! ”
Suddenly, Edward, who had taken out the letter from the room, turned his head to look at the hotel, and the middle-aged man was startled, and quickly turned over and hid under the windowsill, thinking that he was exposed.
As everyone knows....
Edward's attention was not focused on him at all, but at the cats lying on the roof of the hotel, seemingly resting but were actually alert.
If it was just an ordinary stray cat, of course, it would not be able to attract Edward's attention.
Among the cats lying on the roof, there is a blue cat, like a big brother, licking the fur of the little brother who is clustered around.
Edward thought he was wrong at first, but later remembered that it was the Bloodline, and it was impossible to be wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that it was wrong, the blue cat on the opposite roof....
Edward was silent for a moment, closed the window, and activated the mud shadow magic, turning into a mud-stained shadow and climbing up to the roof of the hotel opposite, silently appearing behind the cats.
In the shadows, a pair of golden eyes were extremely conspicuous, and Edward did not make a sound, standing quietly on the roof, watching the cats roll lazily.
After a while, the blue cat, which is the eldest brother, no longer licks the fur of the younger brother, stands up slowly, stretches his waist, takes a graceful step, licks his lips, and seems to want to find something to eat, but as soon as he turns around, he sees Edward not far away, and he is so frightened that he takes off with his four paws and jumps on the spot.
“.......”
“.......”
After a short silence, the blue cat ran away, as fast as a cat that heard the meal, and ran out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, but no matter how fast it ran, it was four paws after all, and it was not as fast as the big bat flying in the sky.
After following for a distance, Edward's transformed bat, taking advantage of the moment the blue cat crossed the gap in the roof, swooped down, grabbed its back of the neck, and flew high in the sky of London at night.
The cats who saw this scene meowed anxiously, and they couldn't help at all, leaving one who continued to stare at the middle-aged man, and the rest went back to report the news.
As for the middle-aged man in charge of stalking, when he raised his head again, he found that Edward had already left the room, and hurriedly rushed downstairs, standing on the street and looking around, and there were still a few men in the café downstairs scolding the bastard who had just thrown a cigarette butt from upstairs.
The middle-aged man turned around twice in place, and after making sure that Edward had disappeared and could no longer be found, he scratched his ears and cheeks angrily, thinking that it was the screaming downstairs that attracted Edward's attention, which caused him to lose it, thinking of this....
With a dark face, he walked up to a few men who were scolding next to him, and without waiting for them to ask questions, he rounded his arms and slapped one of them.
"Call! Call! Call! I'll call you again!
! ”
.........................................
"Daddy, another bowl!"
Flower Street, in the kitchen of the potions grocery store, Yunia took the fast child and ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, and happily handed the bowl to Ma Wei.
Although she likes to eat dim sum and go to the restaurant, the food cooked by her father is different from the outside, and she can't get tired of eating.
The rice pot was above the stove, Yunia was too short to reach it, and the task of adding food before she grew taller had to be taken care of by others, Ma Wei took the porcelain bowl and asked, "How much do you eat?" ”
"Full!"
The steaming rice came out of the pot and covered the bowl, and Yunia picked up the plate, dipped the soup into the rice, picked a few more pieces of meat, and replaced them with her favorite spoon.
She can use fast seeds now, but she is not very proficient in using them, especially when she is cooking, and the spoon brings more satisfaction than fast seeds.
Mavi looked at the Times and munched on his meal, when a bat flew into the kitchen through an open window, and before he could see it, a fluffy blue ball was dropped.
As soon as the fluffy ball hit the ground, it slightningly burrowed under the table, and later found that it was not safe, so it shifted its position and got behind the stove.
The bat took on the form of Edward, and when he saw Ma Wei's puzzled look, he explained, "I found it on the roof of the building opposite the apartment. ”
"Who is it?" Ma Wei didn't see the blue ball that had just fallen, and he didn't know what it was.
"Felix's pet."
Pets from the source?
What pets are there in the communication..... Well?!
Ma Wei's body was shocked, he dropped the newspaper quickly, picked up the kerosene lamp and came to the gap behind the stove, and as soon as the light was on, he saw a pair of big round eyes with children's holes, and the familiar blue hair.
Friday: Well, it's not!
I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I almost didn't recognize it....
"Come out! What are you doing here? Don't even recognize me? ”
Mavey reached through the crack in the stove, grabbed the fur on the back of Friday's neck, and pulled it out of the gap.
Originally, Friday wanted to resist, and it was too frightened, but it heard Ma Wei's voice, and the claws that had just been raised were lowered again.
It knows Ma Wei too well, and the marriage between it and Xiaomei was brokered by Ma Wei.
It forgets that no one can forget Mavi, the benefactor!
Friday, who was pulled out, did not pounce on each other for the first time, but was like a chicken in the soup, drooping his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
Mavi glanced at Edward, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I didn't do anything." Edward said calmly: "It's its own guilt. ”
Hearing that Edward didn't beat Friday, Ma Wei raised his hand and slapped it on the head: "Where did Fat Orange Blackie go?" Speak! What about you? ”
Friday, who has received the blessing of the goddess, has long been able to speak, and if it doesn't speak, it definitely has a ghost in its heart!
Yunia hugged her rice bowl and watched curiously beside her.
Friday, who was slapped in the face, turned around aggrievedly, hugged his head with his front paws, and faced Ma Wei with his buttocks, putting on a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude that he would rather die than move.... Illusion.
"If you don't speak, you'll be."
"Meow meow?!"
Friday Meng turned his head and looked at Ma Wei in disbelief.
"Don't say yes..."
Ma Wei threw the Siren's Tears to Edward and waved his hand, "Let it become a eunuch cat." ”
Edward held Friday's head down and activated the Kraken's Tears, successfully.... Let Friday disappear somewhere.
"Meow!
! ”
Finding that his baby is gone, Friday lets out a terrible scream, and the whole cat is not good.
"Answer the question, and I'll give you back the balls, otherwise.... You just let Xiaomei stay widowed. ”
"I'll recruit! I'm recruiting! I'm all recruited! ”
Obviously, Friday is not a hard stubble that would rather die than give in, and as soon as the eggs are gone, the bones immediately soften: "It's the orange boss who asked us not to come to you.... Xiaomei and I definitely want to meet the boss! You have so many canned food, small dried fish.... Who doesn't love that? ”
"Why would Fat Orange do this?"
"Boss Orange said that it wants to develop Maomao's own power, and only if he has the ability can he make others look at it, otherwise after the Truth Church grows in the future, Maomao can only be reduced to a foil, and has no status...."
It's really like Fat Orange has said it, and it's always been this ambitious character.
"Did it and Blackie come to London?"
"Well, there are also Ah Hua and Big Spot, and a lot of cats from New Ross City are here." Friday looked down at his empty baby, and said aggrievedly, "Can you give me back the balls...."
"Don't worry, I still have a few questions, and you won't need them right now anyway." Ma Wei thought for a while, and said with some curiosity: "Without the help of the church, how did Fat Tangerine feed so many cats?" ”
"We have our own fishing company!" Friday blinked: "Didn't Mr. Jacob tell you?" After he went to the coastal city of Dunmore, he used the start-up funds provided by the church to partner with the fourth prince's subordinate Blaze Carr to open a fishing company, which was very good, and now this fishing company has been transferred to the name of the orange boss....."
"Transferred to the name of Fat Orange?"
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "It's a cat, how can you start a company?" ”
"With a fake identity!" Friday said confidently: "The fishing company is already on the right track, and the orange boss doesn't need to come forward at all, just find a trustworthy person to pass on the order!" ”
“.......”
Ma Wei never expected that the fat oranges really had the ability to break away from the church.
With a fishing company, it means that cats can no longer worry about food, and with the temptation of food, Fat Tangerine can quickly control the stray cats in various cities and subdue them.
】
As long as there is a mass base, the next expansion will be easier, and Fat Orange can give full play to the cat's strengths, and set up a rat trapping company, a manor guard company and even a hospital bed maintenance work....
Once the industrial chain is developed and perfected, the cat underground kingdom in Fat Tangerine's heart may really be established.
However, the premise of all this is that the church does not interfere and allows the cat to develop.
The Church of Truth is fine, and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny will certainly not be indifferent.
This is a potential risk, the identity of the archbishop of Fat Orange is mysterious, and outsiders only know that there are two cardinal archbishops in the Church of Truth, one is the communication of Bojie, and the other ....
Mavi did not make it public.
This is also the reason why the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny has not carried out a cat-extermination campaign so far.
If the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate knew that Ma Wei regarded cats as oracles, he would definitely wipe out the cats in the kingdom, and with Wild, the goddess of health, the Black Death would not be able to take too many lives.
As for the rats that may flood after the cats disappear, they can be killed on a large scale by potions or other chemical drugs.
As Archbishop Henry said, the major churches have always refused to accept otherworldly races other than humans.
In Ma Wei's plan, the existence of the Cat Legion is to be secretly dormant and must not be exposed, otherwise it will definitely usher in a cruel extermination movement of human beings.
"Last question, where is Fat Orange Black?"
"........" Friday lowered his head, unwilling to answer.
"Don't you want your own balls? I don't care, Xiaomei...."
"Meow! I know! I'll just take you there! ”
