After confirming that Dust Ball and her gang were indeed planting catmint, Zhao Yao left them alone. Before he left, he ordered Roly Poly to continue observing them.

The next night, Zhao Yao was playing with his newly downloaded game when Roly Poly sneaked to his side and said, "Zhao Yao, Dust Ball, and her gang are up to something new."

Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. "Let’s go!"

The human and cat both disappeared into thin air and went towards Dust Ball.

Zhao Yao followed Dust Ball, Red Packet, and Fish Ball through the dimension door to the cat cafe. He watched them run to Xiaoyu’s house then rush towards where Preserved Egg lived.

However, this time, Preserved Egg wasn’t their host. It was the other black cat under his orders. Behind the black cat were three black cats. All of them were big, tall, and strong. For ordinary cats, they looked like cats to never mess with.

Fish Ball walked up to them with a smile and said, "Brother Yadan, where is Preserved Egg? We brought the first batch of goods. It weighs 100kg."

Yadan looked at them coldly. "Our boss is unsatisfied with your goods. He doesn’t want them anymore."

Upon hearing this, Fish Ball panicked. "Unsatisfied? What is Preserved Egg unsatisfied with? In the entire Jianghai district, our goods are the cheapest."

"It has nothing got to do with the price. The quality of your goods is lower than our other supplier’s goods. Hence, Boss has decided to buy the goods from the other supplier."

Dust Ball was unconvinced. "How can it be? The quality of our catmint is the best in the entire world. It is impossible to find better catmint."

Looking at her agitation, the black cats behind Yadan walked up and stood in front of Dust Ball like two tall mountains.

Yadan said coldly, "That is enough, kid. Our boss doesn’t want your catmint anymore. Anymore complains and you will be beaten up."

Dust Ball wanted to initiate the fight immediately but Red Packet stopped her. The black cats walked away and Dust Ball was annoyed. " Red Packet, why did you stop me?"

"Even if you fight them, it does not solve our issue. It only ends all the possibilities of us ever cooperating with them again," Red Packet explained. "As for the catmint that is of better quality than ours, aren’t you curious?"

Dust Ball’s eyes lit up with reflected yellow light. "Catmint that is better than ours doesn’t exist. You can question my abilities but you can not question the quality of our catmint."

Red Packet rubbed his head and explained, "I am not saying that you are inferior. I’m just trying to say that there must be something we don’t know. We need to investigate this."

...

In the basement of a house in the same district.

Preserved Egg licked the catmint on the floor crazily. "Oh my god! This catmint is so awesome! "

He looked up eagerly and asked the white cat in front of him, "How much do you have? I’ll buy all of it."

The white cat smiled and said, "We can sell you our goods but you have to agree to a few of our conditions."

"Tell me! This catmint is so good I’ll agree to anything!"

White cat spoke calmly, "First, we have to be your only supplier. Then, we want to have a hand in the operation and sales of your business."

The black cat by his side stood up. "You guys are asking for too much, you are not the only supplier available. Why don’t you ask around and see who is in charge of Huatien village one to ten."

The other black cat growled, "You want a share? Young cat, we need to do things one at a time. Being too ambitious may get you into trouble."

Another black cat spoke up, "We worked so hard to get to where we are today. You just arrived and you expect to get a share? That doesn’t make any sense, especially when we have so many cats under our orders."

All the cats were against the idea. However, Preserved Egg looked at the catmint and said, "Being the only supplier is not a problem. We have rejected all the suppliers before you. But, we will need to reconsider the issue regarding the shares."

"I will give you some time to reconsider." White cat continued and said, "The second condition is that I want you to help me collect information regarding the headless horseman."

"The headless horseman?!"

Those three words were like magic. It made all the cats who were present take a deep breath in unison.

"Why do you want to find out more about the headless horseman?"

"Are you an enemy of the headless horseman? Then, we shall not cooperate. Do not try and drag us into this."

"I’ve heard that the headless horseman has to eat a cat every day and consumes cat blood regularly."

"I saw on the cat forum that the supercats from Jianghai University were taken away by the headless horseman. Now, they have to bathe every day."

"That is so scary! It is terrifying! He is a monster who abuses cats."

"Once, Haoge, the cat next door, met the headless horseman. He commented that the weather was hot and got all his fur shaved. His fur still has still not grown out. I heard that even his wife and his kids could not recognize him."

"What a monster."

Hearing the chatter from the cats, Preserved Egg shouted, "Will all of you shut up. We are just collecting information, what can he do to us?"

Preserved Egg couldn’t resist the temptation and sucked up another mouthful of catmint. He shuddered and he was overjoyed. "This catmint is so different from any catmint I’ve tasted. It is not just an ordinary catmint. This catmint is really addictive. I’m sure that after the supercats try this, they will never be able to do without it..."

Preserved Egg looked at the white cat and said, "It’s a deal. We will help you."

Shortly after, the white cat was escorted out by a few black cats. Once the white cat was out, the cat started texting, "Old K? All is settled at Huatien village. They will start selling our catmint from tomorrow onwards..."

In the greenbelt that was not far away, three cats were staring at the white cat.

Red Packet whispered, "It should be her. Fish Ball you are more familiar with this place. Have you seen this cat before?"

Fish Ball stared at the white cat in a distance and thought to himself, "Long fur and nice ass, this girl is hot." Upon hearing Red Packet’s question, he answered immediately, "No, I have not tried her. Er, I mean, no I have not seen her."

Dust Ball couldn’t believe her eyes. "So she is the one who has better catmint than me?"

Red Packet saw that the white cat was ready to go and immediately said, "Let’s follow her."

About 50 meters behind them, Zhao Yao was spying on them from a tree branch while he carried Roly Poly on his back.

"So they were trying to sell catmint?" Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. "But it looks like they have encountered some difficulties. I guess Dust Ball’s mission has something to do with this."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yao smiled and continued to follow them.
