In the evening, Mavey, who had just returned to Flower Street from Havering District, took the latest issue of the Evening Times from the door and walked into the store. Edward was the only one behind the counter.
"Where's the Felix guy?"
"He's gone out," said Edward. "Helena Sheffield came to see him in the afternoon and asked him to go out to dinner."
As soon as the incident at the Educators Association came out, Helena asked Lai Wen to go out. It was hard not to think of the eldest prince. Ma Wei estimated that it was most likely that the eldest prince wanted to get some information from Lai Wen, so he instigated Helena. come forward.
Lai Wen, who had been vaccinated for a long time, would definitely not go to the eldest prince's heart, so Ma Wei was not worried that he would leak anything. After closing the shop door, he went directly to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Neither Laiwen nor Daniel were at home, and Edward didn't eat human food. Mavie only had to prepare dinner for two people.
After cleaning up the charcoal ash in the stove, Ma Wei decided to cook a few special dishes. He had been out for the past two days and ate Western food, which was just a good change of taste.
Edward was not idle either. After closing his business, he went to Russell Benjamin's private apartment in London, took out the letters from the mailbox, and then turned into a bat and flew back to Flower Street under the night.
Russell Benjamin is elusive and often cannot be found. The contact address he gave is a private apartment in London, but he does not live there. 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 Construction Company, Russell Benjamin owns more than one residence. Even the eldest prince does not live in Clarence Palace every day. He occasionally goes to villas or other manors for vacation. This is the case for most nobles. .
In the hotel opposite the private apartment, a middle-aged man wearing a gray woolen coat with an unshaven beard bit a cigarette butt in his mouth. His face was pale and bloodless. There was a shotgun standing next to his feet, a telescope in his hand, and a pair of blue-gray glasses. , his bloodshot eyes were staring at the apartment window, his right leg was shaking anxiously, making the floorboards creak.
"What the hell..." he muttered: "Mr. Butler asked me to keep an eye on Russell Benjamin, but this guy didn't show up at all..."
As a clerk personally appointed by Mr. Butler, the middle-aged man has very strong business ability and has never failed, but this time...
He has never even seen the target!
When performing a mission, of course, the opponent's identity information must be given, but Mr. Butler did not provide him with any information about Russell Benjamin this time, not even a photo, only a business card.
According to the address on the business card, the middle-aged man came to this private apartment. He had come a week ago and rented a room in the hotel opposite. He wanted to secretly follow Russell Benjamin when he went out, but he didn't come home at all!
Stay for 7 days!
During these seven days, the middle-aged man ate, drank, and had sex in his room. His strong sense of responsibility and superb professionalism made him obsessed with completing tasks. Everything had to be abandoned before he could achieve his goal. In the back of my mind, I was lucky that I gave him a lot of money, 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 no one would be around again today, Edward suddenly came from the corner of the street, walked into the private apartment, and opened the door of Russell Benjamin's apartment.
"finally come!"
Ecstasy instantly filled the middle-aged man's chest. He blew out the cigarette butt out the window without hesitation. Ignoring the screams from downstairs, he stared intently at Edward in the room. As he looked, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"This seems to be Russell Benjamin's butler... He's wearing a butler's uniform... Forget it! It's all the same! Follow the butler and you can find the real owner!"
Suddenly, Edward, who was taking out a letter from the room, turned to look at the hotel. The middle-aged man was startled and quickly turned over and hid under the window sill, thinking that he was exposed.
As everyone knows...
Edward's attention was not focused on him at all, but on the cats lying on the roof of the hotel, seemingly taking a nap but actually alert.
If it were just an ordinary stray cat, it would certainly not be able to attract Edward's attention.
But among the cats lying on the roof, there was a blue cat, like a big brother, licking the fur of the little brothers surrounding it.
Edward thought he had seen it wrong at first, but then he remembered that it was a vampire and there was no way he could have seen it wrong.
If he hadn't seen it wrong, then the blue cat on the roof opposite...
Edward was silent for a moment, closed the window, activated the mud shadow magic, turned into a mud-stained shadow and climbed onto the roof of the hotel opposite, appearing quietly behind the cats.
In the shadow, a pair of golden eyes stood out. Edward made no sound at all, standing quietly on the roof, watching the cats rolling lazily.
After a while, the big brother, the blue cat, stopped licking his little brother's fur. He stood up slowly, stretched his body, took elegant steps, and licked his lips. It seemed that he wanted to find something to eat, but he just Turning around, he saw Edward not far away. He was so frightened that his paws flew into the air and he jumped up on the spot.
"...."
"...."
Their eyes met, and after a brief silence, the blue cat ran away. It was as fast as a cat that heard the meal was served. It ran away for more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, but no matter how fast it ran, after all, its four paws could not run as fast as the sky. Flying big bat.
After following for a distance, the bat that Edward transformed into took advantage of the moment when the blue cat crossed the gap between the roofs, swooped down, grabbed the back of its neck, and flew high into the sky above London at night.
When the cats saw this scene, they meowed anxiously and could not help at all. One of them continued to stare at the middle-aged man, and the rest went back to report the news.
As for the middle-aged man who was responsible for watching, when he raised his head again, he found that Edward had already left the room. He rushed downstairs and stood on the street looking around. There were still several men in the cafe downstairs cursing the man who had just been thrown from upstairs. Cigarette butt bastard.
The middle-aged man walked around twice to make sure that Edward had disappeared and could not be found again. He scratched his head angrily, thinking that the screams downstairs had attracted Edward's attention, which led him to lose him. Thinking of this... .
With a dark face, he walked up to the cursing men next to him. Without waiting for them to ask questions, he swung his arms and slapped one of them.
"Scream! Scream! Scream! I'll let you scream again!
! "
....................................................
"Dad, have another bowl!"
Flower Street, in the kitchen of the Potion Grocery Store, Yunia took the tachyon and ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, and happily handed the bowl to Ma Wei.
Although she likes to eat snacks and go out to restaurants, the food her father cooks is different from the ones outside, and she never gets tired of it no matter how much she eats.
The rice pot was on top of the stove, and Yunia was too short to reach it. Others would be responsible for adding rice until she grew taller. Ma Wei took the porcelain bowl and asked, "How much should you eat?"
"full!"
The steaming rice was taken out of the pot, covering a full bowl. Yunia picked up the dish, soaked the soup into the rice, picked out a few pieces of meat, and replaced it with her favorite small spoon. .
She can use tachyon now, but she is not very skilled in using it. Especially when cooking, the spoon brings more satisfaction than the tachyon.
Ma Wei was reading the Evening Times and taking small bites of his food. Just as he was turning over the pages, a bat flew into the kitchen through the open window. Before he could see it clearly, a fluffy blue ball was dropped. .
As soon as the furry ball hit the ground, it got under the table like lightning. Later, when it was found that it was not safe, it moved its position and got behind the stove.
The bat turned into Edward's appearance. Seeing Ma Wei's suspicious look, he explained: "I found it on the roof opposite the apartment."
"Who is it?" Ma Wei didn't see the blue ball that just fell and didn't know what it was.
"Felix's pet."
Pets raised by the author?
There are no pets in the document... hmm? !
Ma Wei's body was shaken, he dropped the newspaper, picked up the kerosene lamp and went to the gap behind the stove. When the light was illuminated, he saw a pair of big round eyes and the familiar blue hair.
It's not Friday!
We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and I almost didn’t recognize him…
"Come out! Why are you hiding in here? Don't you even recognize me?"
Mavey reached into the crack of the stove, grabbed the fur on the back of Friday's neck, and pulled it out of the crack.
Originally, Friday wanted to resist. He was too frightened, but he heard Ma Wei's voice and lowered the paw he had just raised.
It knows Ma Wei very well. It was Ma Wei who arranged the marriage between it and Xiao Mei.
It forgets that no one can forget Ma Wei, his benefactor!
Friday, who was found out, did not immediately rush to recognize him. Instead, he was like a drowned rat, with his head hanging down, as if he had done something wrong.
Ma Wei glanced at Edward: "What's wrong with you?"
"I didn't do anything." Edward said calmly: "It feels guilty."
Hearing that Edward didn't beat Friday, Mavey raised his hand and slapped it on the forehead: "Where did the fat orange and little black go? Talk! I'm asking you!"
Friday, who has received the blessing of the goddess, has long been able to speak human words. If it doesn't speak, it must have something in its heart!
Yunia was holding her rice bowl and watching curiously.
Friday, who received a slap, turned around aggrievedly, held his head with his front paws, and turned his butt towards Ma Wei, pretending to be a righteous and awe-inspiring person who would rather die than take action...
"If you don't say anything, I'll fuck your balls."
"Meow meow meow?!"
Friday suddenly turned his head and looked at Ma Wei in disbelief.
"Don't say yes yet..."
Ma Wei threw the Siren's Tears to Edward, waved his hand and said, "Let it turn into a eunuch cat."
Edward held down Friday's head and activated Siren's Tears, which successfully... made a certain part of Friday disappear.
"Meow!
! "
Finding that his baby was gone, Friday let out a shrill scream, and the whole cat was in bad condition.
"Answer the question and I will return your balls to you, otherwise... you can just let Xiaomei become a widow."
"I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it all!"
Obviously Friday is not a tough guy who would rather die than give in. As soon as his balls disappeared, his bones immediately softened: "It was Boss Ju who told us not to come to you... Xiaomei and I definitely want to meet you, Boss! You have so many Canned food, dried fish...who doesn't like it?"
"Why did Fat Orange do this?"
"Boss Ju said that he wants to develop Maomao's own power. Only when he has the ability can he be respected by others. Otherwise, when the Church of Truth grows in the future, Maomao will only be reduced to a foil and have no status..."
This is indeed what Fat Orange said, he has always had this kind of ambitious character.
"Have it and Xiao Hei come to London?"
"Well, there are also Ahua, Daban and the others, and many cats from New Ross City are here." Friday looked down at his empty treasure and said aggrievedly: "Can you give me your balls back... ..”
"Don't worry, I have a few more questions. You won't need them now anyway." Ma Wei thought for a while and said curiously: "Without the help of the church, how did Fat Orange and the others feed so many cats?"
"We have our own fishing company!" Friday blinked: "Didn't Mr. Jacob tell you? After he went to the seaside city of Dunmore, he used the start-up funds provided by the church and the men of the fourth prince to create a new fishing company. Z. Karl opened a fishing company in partnership, and the business is very good. Now the fishing company has been transferred to the name of Boss Ju..."
"Transferred to Fat Orange's name?"
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "It's just a cat, how can it open a company?"
"Use a fake identity!" Friday said confidently: "The fishing company is on the right track. Boss Ju doesn't need to come forward at all. Just find a trustworthy person to pass on the order!"
"...."
Ma Wei never expected that Fat Orange and the others would actually have the ability to break away from the church.
Having a fishing company means that cats no longer have to worry about food. With the temptation of food, Fat Orange can quickly control the stray cats in various cities and subdue them.
】
As long as there is a mass base, the subsequent expansion will be relatively easy. Fat Orange can fully utilize the expertise of cats and set up a mouse-catching company, a manor guard company, or even a hospital bed care company...
Once the industrial chain is developed and perfected, the underground kingdom of cats in Fat Orange's heart may really be established.
But the prerequisite for all this is that the church will not interfere and allow the cats to develop.
The Church of Truth has no problem, and the Church of the Three Destinies will definitely not remain indifferent.
This is a potential risk. The identity of the archbishop Fat Orange is mysterious. Outsiders only know that there are two cardinal archbishops in the Church of Truth, one is Lavin Berger, and the other...
Mavey has not made it public.
This is also the reason why the Church of the Three Destinies has not launched a cat eradication campaign so far.
If the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny knew that Ma Wei regarded cats as divine messengers, they would definitely eliminate the cats in the kingdom. With the health goddess Wilder around, even if the Black Death broke out, it would not be able to claim too many lives.
As for the rats that may overrun after the cats disappear, they can be killed on a large scale using magic potions or other chemical drugs.
Just like Archbishop Henry said, the major churches have always been unwilling to accept extraordinary races other than humans.
In Ma Wei's plan, the existence of the Cat Legion must be dormant in secret and must not be exposed, otherwise a cruel extermination movement of mankind will surely usher in.
"Last question, where is Fat Orange and Little Hei?"
"..." Friday lowered his head, unwilling to answer.
"You don't want your balls anymore? I don't care, Xiaomei's side..."
"Meow! I know! I'll just take you there!"
