After listening to Uncle Ho’s speculation, everyone was silent and slowly took in the incredulous information.
Everyone understood the concept of Time Freeze and how unnatural it was. Nobody had discovered such a superpower in the supernatural realm. Time Freeze was an unscientific and illogical superpower.
When such superpower was used by an apostle with compound superpowers, his threat level was multiplied.
An elderly leader asked, “Are you sure it’s Time Freeze?”
Uncle Ho said, “I can’t be 100% sure but with our current intelligence on Zhao Yao, only Time Freeze fits the description of his superpower.”
“Wow, Time Freeze!” An Army leader said. “Someone actually possessed this incredible superpower.”
The leaders gradually recovered from their shock and started discussing their plan of action.
“Elevate Zhao Yao’s security clearance.”
“Re-evaluate Project Oriental Beacon.”
“As for the Americans… an official reply’s not required. I’ll dispatch a messenger discreetly.”
Not only China but the other countries in the world were investigating the details of the White House incident. Everyone wanted to find out what terrifying superpower was used in this attack.
Because China and the United States collaborated in banning information, not many people knew Zhao Yao’s identity and his terrifying superpowers.
…
In the United States.
Though there were many setbacks contacting Zhao Yao, after assistance from numerous middlemen, the Americans managed to contact Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao picked up his phone and heard the other party conversing in English followed by Mandarin.
“Greetings, I am Steve from the Star Cats. We have met before.”
Zhao Yao frowned and said, “You’re repeating yourself. You think I don’t understand English? Are you looking down on Asians? Is that racial discrimination?”
“I…” Steve inhaled deeply and said, “I think there’s a misunderstanding. You must have cooled down after demolishing the White House? Let’s discuss any issues that you’re unhappy with. There’s no need to resort to violence, don’t you think?”
“That’s nothing to discuss. Just surrender the remaining four Star Cats, Doomsday and the Meteorite Fragments,” Zhao Yao said. “I won’t demolish the Capitol Building and I’ll reconstruct the White House. I’ll add in lawn mowing and room cleaning. The White House will be as good as new.”
Steve cursed Zhao Yao silently for his insatiable greed. Steve thought that the problem was not about reconstructing the White House.
As Zhao Yao was currently the stronger one, they were on the receiving end of his attacks. They could not defend or attack and were in a helpless position.
Steve ate his humble pie and said, “Doomsday’s not with us as he has escaped and his superpower has evolved. If you want to find him, we can help you.”
Zhao Yao was silent and Steve said, “If you were affected by Doomsday’s superpower, besides being able to be treated by him, there’s another traditional method…”
“What nonsense is that!” Zhao was agitated and said, “Who told you I’m pregnant? Don’t you spread rumors! I’m looking for Doomsday not because I’m pregnant!”
After listening to Zhao Yao’s heated outburst, Steve and the four pioneer cats felt helpless.
Anthony, the supercat with mass transfer superpower, said, “Zhao Yao was indeed made pregnant by Doomsday.”
The Divination cat, Merlin, said, “I heard one becomes more hot-tempered after being pregnant. No wonder Zhao Yao’s so vicious.”
Another supercat with the Frost superpower, Ace, said, “Don’t antagonize a pregnant man. Shall we wait for him to give birth before having a discussion? Perhaps after giving birth, he will develop maternal love. It might be easier to reach an agreement.”
Steve quickly replied, “Yes, yes, yes, we know you aren’t pregnant. Doomsday isn’t with us. You’ve found the wrong person.”
“I don’t believe you,” Zhao Yao said. “Unless you find the whereabouts of Doomsday and inform me, I won’t believe you.”
Steve retorted, “You are getting unreasonable? You attacked our Natural Disaster apostles first so our Star Cats retaliated. If you hadn’t captured Arthas and the other Star Cats and weakened our defenses, Doomsday wouldn’t have escaped and caused… so many unnatural pregnancies.”
“Hey! Bingo! I’m unreasonable. Are you going to retaliate?” Zhao Yao said, “Tell me the whereabouts of Doomsday and I’ll believe you.”
Steve was so furious he felt like wringing Zhao Yao’s neck. However, he understood that he was the weaker one so he was unable to do anything to Zhao Yao.
Steve suppressed his anger and said, “Yes, we can help you find Doomsday. What about the Capitol Building…”
“No.”
Steve said warily, “We’ve cleared our misunderstandings. There’s no need to resort to violence…”
“I haven’t cleared any misunderstandings,” Zhao Yao said. “The Star Cats and Meteorite Fragments are still in your hands. I’m warning you, if you don’t surrender the cats and the fragments, I’ll not be finished with you.” Zhao Yao hung up the phone.
Steve could not help slamming down the phone and shouted, “I’m unable to negotiate with him. How can I continue the negotiation? How can there be such a greedy, unscrupulous and uncouth person?”
Anthony coaxed, “Buck up Steve. Think of the consequences if you fail with the negotiation. First the Capitol Building, followed by the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial Hall, Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park, Empire State Building and everything on American soil will be destroyed by Zhao Yao.”
Steve said helplessly, “He’s beyond unreasonable. Do we surrender our cats and the fragments to him? He’ll become more brazen and have no scruples.”
Steve’s eyes flickered coldly as he said, “Such a weak talk would not result in true peace. We have to let him know we can’t defeat him but we can attack his kin, friends and cats.”
The four Star Cats looked at each other and said, “Fine, Steve, whatever plans you have be prepared for failure.”
Merlin said, “I can foretell Doomsday’s location but we’re not aware of your plans. Do you understand?”
“That’s what I hoped for,” Steve said. “It’s time I show Zhao Yao our true colors. We can’t let him think that we are without teeth, otherwise we won’t be able to negotiate with him.”
Steve dialed a cell phone number and said, “Hello? We failed in the negotiation. Follow my previous orders and give me a call once it’s successful.”
