Zhao Yao had started piecing together a picture of Muscle Society from the myriad information shared by the three of them.
This organization had come a long way from its humble beginnings with Sphynx Cat and Butcher at the helms. For the past half a year since he had awakened his power, he began searching for potential apostles to recruit before baiting them into the organization with the promise of limitless strength.
These apostles hid under the cloaks of their usual identities. However, they began searching for new supercats and apostles to recruit into the organization secretly. Those who resisted were handed over to Butcher to handle.
Those under Butcher were used as vessels for Sphynx Cat to lend out his power and thus strengthened its potency.
"Isn't that just kidnapping? Zhao Yao's eyebrows snapped together as he questioned them.
Champion pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered, "This is worth it. As long as we have Sphynx Cat's power, we will be able to train day and night. We would achieve strength, agility, and nimbleness that ordinary people can only dream of. We will usher in a new era where we rule. Those who were kept under control by Butcher would one day come to their senses and join us."
Zhao Yao could not believe his ears and threw his hands into the air, "If that happens, mankind will be on the verge of extinction."
Originally, the organization had planned to grow its power while lurking in the shadows. They were under the impression that time was on their side.
However, Zhao Yao's sudden appearance had dealt a blow to their perfect plan. Now, the government had started poking their noses into their affairs.
The government began to exert immense pressure on them. They began their relentless search for any intel that might potentially lead to hem. Left with no options, Muscle Society had to lay low and put a pause to their grand plan. Most of the apostles had returned to the headquarters, a gym in a suburban area.
Even with their combined strength, they were still no match for a direct confrontation against the government.
However, Zhao Yao's biggest worry was whether information concerning him had been leaked to the government.
Based on Champion's words, Zhao Yao's information had been sent directly to Butcher.
Zhao Yao's eyes squinted into a line as he thought, "Is that the case?" Since Butcher had already learned of his existence, Zhao Yao's only shot at survival was to make the first move before Butcher made his.
With the uncertainties concerning Muscle Scoeity all cleared, Zhao Yao's BOOK had naturally reflected the changes to his mission panel.

After collecting the necessary information, the first thing Zhao Yao did was to knock the trio unconscious before absorbing himself into the extradimensional belly.
However, there was something even more pressing which he had to attend to. He had to get rid of the Cat Princess's dress. With a click, the dress had turned into stardust, scattered across the sky, revealing Zhao Yao's original clothes.
This dress could only last for 10 minutes. Hence, it would either be destroyed at the end of the time or when the user actively deactivated it.
Zhao Yao's purpose for returning here was to get rid of the dress and also assemble his supercat armor.
Since his next step was to infiltrate into the heart of Muscle Society, he required all the weapons that he could possibly get his hands on.
"Supercat armor! Activate!"
Following Zhao Yao's thunderous bellow, the sea of supercats simply turned around and laid flat against their bellies. None of them even let out a single sound.
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes before letting out another thunderous roar, "Supercat armor! Activate!"
Uncle Egg swung his paw dismissively in the air and struggled to open his eyes into a thin slit. He retorted, "What the hell are you screaming for? Can't you see that we are sleeping? Young man, can you grow to be slightly more sensitive?"
Zhao Yao was left speechless by their apathetic response, "Haven't we agreed on this already? I have already told you that when I enter this place and shout the following words, all of you will come towards me and activate your power …."
Uncle Egg soon grew impatient with Zhao Yao's verbiage, "You didn't say that you were intending to do this in the middle of the night! Does that mean we have to run towards you with our tails stuck between our legs when we hear your stupid command even when we are shitting, sleeping or even eating?"
Zhao Yao let out another sigh of despair and replied, "We have agreed on this. I'll give it to you if you are really shitting, but I'm sure you can take a break from your food and sleep." He was relieved that he did not escape into the belly and activate this stupid power when first confronted with the three blokes.
Zhao Xue would have already died by the time he managed to convince these stubborn cats.
"These supercats are simply not dependable." The supercats only decided to open their eyes following Zhao Yao's relentless roars.
A look of annoyance was plastered on Uncle Egg's face as he pounced onto Zhao Yao's shoulder and muttered, "How long are we gonna play for this time?"
"This is not a game! We are not playing around!" Zhao Yao retorted with anger bursting through him, "This is a battle mechanism!"
"Alright, alright. So how long are we playing for?"
Zhao Yao slammed his palm across his face and instructed, "Uncle Egg, stay on my left hand. Fūjin, hug onto my right arm."
Fūjin even bargained with Zhao Yao, "What's the difference. I'm so tired, can I just rest on top of your head?"
"No!" Rage swept over Zhao Yao as he trembled with fury, "Ares, activate your deflective field and encapsulate all of us within it. Everyone, be in position!"
"Where the hell is Dust Ball? Stop sniffing your stupid catmint and get in here! Now!"
Zhao Yao finally managed to get Uncle Egg, Fūjin and Ares to cooperate with him before he left his extradimensional belly and ran back home. There, he got Roly Poly, Mango and Elizabeth to complete their complex supercat armor.
After all these efforts, Zhao Yao had seven supercats hanging on, crawling along and lying on his body.
If not for Ares's deflective field encapsulating all of them into a single entity, the cats would already have slipped off of Zhao Yao's body.
"Activate invisibility!" Zhao Yao demanded.
Roly Poly's forehead creased together as he lamented, "Isn't it supposed to be invisibility mechanism activate?"
Zhao Yao stared at Roly Poly with anger pouring out of his eyes, "Just turn us invisible when I instructed you to do so."
With a soft whoosh, Zhao Yao and the seven supercats had vanished into thin air.
Zhao Yao roared, "Wait, I told you to turn the cats invisible, not me!"
"You were the one who gave unclear instructions." Roly Poly muttered as he shot Zhao Yao a look of disdain before removing the power from Zhao Yao's body.
Zhao Yao stared at the mirror as a bright smile appeared on his face. He nodded his head and whispered to himself, "I think I should still cover my face. Speaking of that, where is the Naruto mask that I bought previously?" This was the mask Zhao Yao had bought specifically to conceal his face during his battles. It was far cooler than using a surgical mask.
However, Zhao Yao found no trace of the mask after turning his entire apartment upside down. He began rummaging through the mess and shouted at Baiquan, "Baiquan! Where is my mask? Why can't I seem to find it?"
Baiquan reached his head out of the door and replied, 'Boss, didn't you bring it back to the café?"
"Oh?" Zhao Yao suddenly recalled him bringing the mask out because of how cool it looked.
"D*mn it!" Zhao Yao gave up on the idea of using the Naruto mask and started searching for the surgical masks. Similarly, it was futile. He couldn't help but cursed, "Where did my surgical masks disappear to?"
Baiquan replied, "The previous surgical masks that you bought had been kept here for so long and were simply filthy. I threw them away during the last spring cleaning."
Zhao Yao's body locked with rage as he slammed his palm into the table, "Who told you to throw away my stuff without my permission?"
Baiquan raised his shoulders in a half shrug and defended himself, "You were the one who told me to tidy your room and get rid of any rubbish inside it."
Zhao Yao was so furious yet could not find any words to express it. Meanwhile, Uncle Egg began complaining, "My back feels so sore, can we switch to another position?"
"Just hang in there, we'll be done soon." NO matter how Zhao Yao tried, he just couldn't find anything that could possibly cover his face until he noticed a stocking lying beneath his sofa.
Zhao Yao dragged the stocking out from the sofa and shouted, "Hanako, what is your stocking doing underneath the sofa?"
Hanako ran out of her room with her hair in a mess, "You found my stocking? It has gone missing since the day I washed it, I bet one of the cats took it and hid it there."
A lopsided smile appeared on Zhao Yao's face as he replied, "Lend me your stocking."
