Hidekazu and Onitsuka strolled on the streets while Ishida concealed in their shadows.
Up till now, the apostle who was more suited spiritually and physically to Kagemaru was Ishida. Ishida was able to effectively utilise the shadow abilities which included Shadow Jump, Shadow Weapons and Concealment.
Because of the comprehensiveness of the ability, the Japanese terror group only sent out Ishida as the believed he could accomplish their mission.
As for Ishida, he was very confident of himself. With his ability, he was able to fight his way from the lower tiers of the organisation to become part of the cadre.
However, searching for the cat wasn't a simple task. Hidekazu and Onitsuka had already searched for a few hours but still couldn't find a trace of the two supercats.
After a long period of time, Ishida couldn't help but asked, "Still couldn't find them?"
After hearing the sound from the shadows, Hidekazu wiped his sweat and replied, "Not yet, but these two cats were hanging around here recently. We should locate them soon."
Ishida was unsatisfied, "You are too slow. Split up and search."
Hidekazu was taken aback and blurted, "Huh?"
Ishida replied, "How long do you want me to wait?"
"Yes, we shouldn't let Lord Ishida wait any longer." Onitsuka said, "Lord Ishida, please head this direction. The last time the two cats met us, they were in the area we are heading to. Hidekazu, you head over to the other area. Even though we hadn't been there before but perhaps they would appear there today."
Hidekazu wanted to open his mouth to refute as he wished to go along with Ishida. However, he was unable to come up with a reason and could only watch Onitsuka disappear from his sight.
Ishida's supercat, Kagemaru didn't follow them out. Compare to apostles, supercats were more valuable and important. Powerful organisations wouldn't simply let their supercats out for battle. After all, apostles could be replaced but once a supercat was gone, it meant an ability would forever be gone.
Hence, Kagemaru was still resting in the shadow of a hotel.
Upon sighting that there wasn't anyone on that path, Hidekazu swallowed his saliva and thought, "If I head there on my own and met the two supercats, wouldn't I be finished? I wouldn't know how they will toy with me. Because of his seniority, Onitsuka placed me in a dangerous situation."
The more he thought about it, the more unsatisfied he was. He stopped at the corner of the street after a few steps.
"You want me to head to my death, only a fool would do that." Hidekazu was determined, "I would rather wait here, wait for half an hour before heading back to Onitsuka. I would just say that I had already walked the streets and didn't manage to locate them."
He nodded to himself and took out a cigarette. He stood on an empty street as he waited for time to pass.
The cold wind blew and howled. Hidekazu shuddered, "Winter in Jiangmen City is pretty cold."
Hidekazu was suddenly fearful as he stood alone on the empty street, "This area is within the vicinity of where these two cats would be. What if I really met them?"
As the thought, he was even more scared and decided to change a location to wait. At this moment, a 'meow' rang from behind. He was frightened till his hairs stood and he froze.
"I'm not that unlucky?" Another 'meow' sounded. Hidekazu hurriedly turned around and when he saw it was just a white cat coming towards his feet. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's lucky. I was almost scared to death."
He kneeled down and stroked the cat as he smiled, "Little kitty, you almost frightened me to death."
As he was alone, he spoke in Japanese and the cat stared at him with a puzzled expression. It then began rubbing against his leg.
"Woah, you're so obedient." Hidekazu happily extended his arm to pick up the cat but the cat shunned and ran, disappearing into the greenery.
"Sigh, that's a cat. They become crazy out of nowhere." Hidekazu shook his head. He left his spot and planned to find a safer location to wait out his remaining time.
After a few minutes, when he neared a flower terrace, the white cat that appeared previously dashed out and meowed in his direction.
Hidekazu smiled and said, "It's you again, why are you here?"
In the supercat language which Hidekazu could not comprehend, the white cat shouted, "Boss, this is the Japanese which I had met just now!"
At the next moment, Ares and Dust Ball emerged from the flower terrace.
"Eh!!??" Hidekazu froze for a moment and at the next moment, he utilised Shadow Jump to move 5 metres away and escaped.
"Meow!" Ares bellowed. He utilised his repulsive ability and chased after him together with Dust Ball.
The white cat decided that it wasn't his business anymore and disappeared back into the flower terrace. He was actually a supercat that lived nearby. Since Ares and Dustball had recently been trying to complete their task in the vicinity, they caused quite a turmoil and hence confronted several local supercats.
With Ares' and Dust Ball's abilities, they managed to suppress this group of supercats and wanted them to help search for a person who required help and a Japanese.
Although Ares and Dust Ball chased with their maximum effort, Hidekazu continuously used Shadow Jump and sprinted, they didn't manage to catch up.
Hidekazu was well-trained and the Shadow Jump allowed him to widen the distance by 5 metres in an instant. The sky was dark and hence with the many shadows casted by the surrounding street lamps, he could effectively utilise them to employ his ability.
As they saw Hidekazu widened the gap between them, Ares let out a shriek which sent ripples through the air. He lifted a stone and forcefully threw in the direction of Hidekazu.
Ow!
The stone smashed into Hidekazu's shoulder, accompanied by a scream of agony as he slammed onto the ground.
However, he reacted quickly. He planted his palm on the floor and with a flicker, he emerged from a shadow 5 metres away and continued sprinting.
But with this, the gap between them shortened and Ares continued heaving objects in his direction which didn't allow Hidekazu to disappear from their sight.
Hidekazu relied on his stamina to escape while Ares utilised the repulsion to accelerate. Hence, Hidekazu's speed quickly decreased and the gap narrowed.
Ares extended his hand and the repulsion field became a giant invisible hand which could grab onto Hidekazu. At this moment, over ten streaks of shadows emerged from the darkness which collided with the repulsion field. This defended Hidekazu from Ares' attack.
From the shadow, Onitsuka appeared and the streaks of shadows were summoned from below his feet. Hidekazu emotionally ran towards him.
The shadow below Onitsuka sighed, "Finally found them."
Hidekazu and Onitsuka strolled on the streets while Ishida concealed in their shadows.
