Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 309 Cat Fighting (Part Two)

"Since Brother Yang is in a good mood, I'll just keep him company. To be honest, I've never played such an interesting game before! I'll be playing with Brother Yang for the first round, and I hope my Mimi can help Brother Yang get good luck!"

Zhao Zhigao chuckled, took a thick stack of bills, and without counting them, placed them directly next to Brother Yang's cigarette box.

A rough estimate puts it at least 20,000 yuan.

Brother Yang was immediately delighted; this was the first time someone had bet with him on the betting table. Previously, even when his men followed his bets out of respect for him, they only put on a show of betting a thousand or two, their ultimate goal still being to win his money. None of them were as generous as Ah Gao.

Even if his original goal in this game was simply to give money to his brothers, and he even went so far as to actively suppress the cat who seemed destined to lose, well... I'm expressing my attitude, but how you view the money makes a huge difference.

"Wow! It must be at least 20,000, right?"

The middle-aged man who was close to Zhao Zhigao gasped, his eyes now reddening. So much money... if only he could win it all...

The crowd cheered and made a ruckus, making the atmosphere even more lively. Even a few workers in the repair shop who were usually reluctant to do anything else started glancing over, their hands rummaging in their pockets, gradually becoming tempted.

After all... the visual stimulation of a cigarette pack worth 100,000 is completely different from that of a stack of banknotes worth 20,000.

So much money.

"Jackie Chan, let's begin!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heated, Brother Yang didn't waste any time. It was up to Brother Yang to win people over; all he had to do was choose a cat that was powerful enough.

So, the black and white calico cat that Brother Yang had singled out was grabbed by the neck and forcibly pulled out of the cage by the rough guy called 'Jackie Chan', and then tossed into the cat fighting cage without hesitation and casually.

"Wow!"

The black and white tuxedo cat was already half-dead with fright. After flying into the cage, it flipped over and stood firmly, quickly shrinking into the corner of the wall, and let out a nervous howl as it looked at the red-eyed crowd outside.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Lin Ge, who had been waiting impatiently in the middle of the cage, looked speechless.

He thought that the cats that Brother Yang had worked so hard to catch would be some kind of powerful creatures. It turns out that such a cowardly creature could be chosen.
Lin Ge stared quietly at the black and white calico cat, even taking the time to observe the details of its black spots. To be honest, the cat was quite good-looking, with black eyes, black ears, a white mouth, and a white belly; at first glance, it even resembled a giant panda somewhat. Even its timid demeanor, with its eyes furtively glancing at Lin Ge, had a comical, panda-like charm. Seeing that Lin Ge didn't attack, the cat twitched its ears, seemingly calming down a bit.

However, they still lack the courage to launch an attack.

The two cats stood there, one standing and the other hiding, showing no intention of fighting.

"Shoot! Why aren't you hitting?"

"Go, Mimi!"

The gamblers outside started making a fuss, and the green-haired monkey even picked up a stick from the side and poked the black and white cat through the iron cage, forcing it to go to Lingo's side.

"Meow~"

The black and white cat was hurt by the poking, so it turned around and meowed at Lin Ge, then timidly and cautiously moved towards Lin Ge, taking one step at a time.

"Aww!"

Lin Ge tilted his head back and yawned widely.

Is this all the tricks the Yang brothers have? Cats aren't stupid; how could they fight to the death for no reason? Seeing the cow cat crouching down in front of him, too afraid to move, Lin Ge felt like he'd been nervous for nothing.

"Brother Ma, apply the medicine!"

Brother Yang suddenly spoke up.

Under Ringo's wary gaze, the guy nicknamed "Little Ma" grinned. With his smile, the silver ring on his lower lip swayed slightly, looking quite menacing. He pulled an unlabeled plastic bottle from his pocket and dripped two drops onto each of the two cats from above the cage.

Lin Ge nimbly dodged, and the pale green liquid landed on the cage board, emitting a strange and foul smell.

The foolish black and white cat didn't react at all and was hit directly on the head by the droplet. It looked up in surprise and looked around, but found nothing wrong and continued to squat without moving. But Lin Ge noticed that its pupils were inexplicably and rapidly contracting.

"This smell..."

Lin Ge frowned, and for some reason, the image of a female hawksbill turtle suddenly popped into his mind. The scent around him vaguely resembled the smell emitted by a female hawksbill turtle when in heat, but it was more pungent and acrid.

"Could it be a potion to stimulate estrus? Or maybe it's mixed with something else that could make a cat lose its mind?"

Lin Ge felt a bit hot, but at least he could control himself.

At this moment, the black and white cat opposite was no longer able to continue. Its pupils contracted to a tiny dot, and its emotions visibly became extremely agitated. It was no longer afraid, and its gaze towards Lin Ge was now filled with ruthlessness and a frenzied impulse.

Not only Ringo and the black and white cat, but also the other cats in the cage became restless after smelling the scent.

Several cats struggled desperately in the cage, banging against the metal cage with a loud clanging sound. But the man nicknamed Jackie Chan indeed had a pair of strong arms; despite the cats' powerful struggles, the metal cage, held firmly down by him, remained completely still.

Only the black cat at the very bottom of the cage remained lazy, as if the medicine had no effect on it.

why?
"Wow!"

Lin Ge was still pondering, but the calico cat in front of him was no longer timid. It roared loudly with an extremely piercing voice and pounced on Lin Ge without any regard for anything else.

"Don't get in my way!"

Lingo first nimbly dodged the black and white cat's pounce, then pressed its head down with a paw, pinning it firmly against the cage board.

But the black and white cat struggled desperately, thrashing about with all its might. Lin Ge, fearing it would break his neck, momentarily lost control and let it escape. But the cat became even more agitated than before, opening its mouth wide to bite Lin Ge.

"This guy has really lost his mind. The two Yangs have more tricks up their sleeves than I thought."

Lin Ge remained calm and easily dodged the attack.

On the contrary, Zhao Zhigao outside appeared very nervous. He clenched his fists and watched quietly as Lin Ge struggled in the narrow iron cage, dodging the calico cat's attacks time and time again, forcing it back without harming it.

"This cat is unaffected by the medicine?"

Big Brother Yang was somewhat astonished, because even the money tree on his lap was getting a little excited, but the silver tabby in the cage remained unusually calm. When it stopped the black and white cat from attacking, it even deliberately avoided the cat's vital points, its calm demeanor masking its surprisingly powerful claws. It was only because the black and white cat had become agitated due to the medication, struggling recklessly and risking injury, that the cat named Mimi couldn't subdue it.

"It is indeed very special. Just the ability to be unaffected by drugs is enough to give them a great advantage in cat fighting."

Brother Yang's eyes lit up, and he even turned to look at Zhao Zhigao.

Seeing Zhao Zhigao staring intently at the fighting in the cage, Brother Yang pondered, "But without the influence of drugs, he can't exert his full strength. This guy looks like he can't fight at all; hopefully, he can only bully ordinary cats."

"It would be great if Dalian were here; he has a special talent for training cats."

Brother Yang sighed, feeling that abandoning Zhao Liang during that time was now the thing he regretted most.

"..."

With his ears standing straight up, Lin Ge dodged the attacks of the cow cat while eavesdropping on the conversation between the Yang brothers.

He was now 100% certain that Zhao Liang and the Yang brothers knew each other! Although he didn't know why the arrest of Zhao Liang and the drug case on Xiangju Island hadn't revealed any clues related to the Yang brothers, there was no doubt that these people were connected. And judging from Brother Yang's regretful expression, he had at least witnessed Zhao Liang's abilities. Add to that the catfighting arena that Lin Ge loathed, and it seemed that the relationship between Zhao Liang and the Yang brothers wasn't as simple as he had imagined.

"Should we increase the dosage a little more?"

Little Ma looked at Little Yang, who was impatient to see the two cats in the cage continue to dawdle.

"Need not!"

Brother Yang stuck the cigarette butt into the cat cage next to him, burning a frantic yellow cat that howled in pain. But the cage was too small, and no matter how it tried to escape, Brother Yang could only use its body as an ashtray to stub out the cigarette.

"Jackie Chan, let this guy out too! Two against one, I want to see how this cat will hide this time!"

Seeing that the yellow cat was becoming even more agitated due to the pain, Brother Yang gestured to Jackie Chan to throw it into the cage as well.

Once inside the cage, just as Brother Yang had predicted, the yellow cat began its indiscriminate attack, attacking both friend and foe. Whether it was Lingo or the black and white cat, it was all its target, its sharp claws quickly drawing crimson lines of blood from the black and white cat's face.

"Ow!"

The pain made the black and white cat even more irritable, and it didn't hesitate to retaliate against the yellow cat.

Soon, the two cats were locked in a fierce battle, showing no mercy. Their sharp claws and fangs were their strongest weapons, and in just a few tumbles and rolls, both cats were bleeding, their bodies quickly becoming covered in blood.

The black and white cat's nose was even cut open, with one nostril severed in two. The wound tore open further as it struggled, and blood gushed out, splattering all over the black and white cat and also staining the yellow cat.

But these injuries didn't calm the black and white cat down; instead, they made it even more reckless as it pounced on the yellow cat. "Holy crap, did it have to come to this?!"

Lingo stared in disbelief at the scene, feeling as if he were not in the human world, but in the wilderness witnessing wolves and hyenas fighting each other.

When the black and white cat started howling and tearing at the yellow cat's ear, Lin Ge finally couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, both cats would surely die, and the shouts and jeers from the people outside only fueled his disgust.

Lin Ge finally understood why anyone would be interested in something like cat fighting.

Indeed, such life-or-death struggles are sure to get the audience's blood pumping. The sight of someone being bitten to death is especially likely to ignite the malice in one's heart. Throughout history, life-or-death battles have always been a thrilling and adrenaline-pumping topic.

But as one of the cats in the cage, Lingo simply couldn't accept the miserable state of the two cats before him.

So just as the two cats were fighting even harder, but their breaths were gradually fading, Lingo finally moved.

He appeared beside the two cats like lightning, and headbutted them as they were locked in a fierce struggle. The heavy force left no room for resistance, and he kicked the two cats apart with a brutal thud. Even the yellow cat's ear, which it had been biting so tightly, was torn apart by the black and white cat's sharp teeth.

The two cats involuntarily fell to the ground, their minds momentarily dazed.

"Whoa!"

"Meow!"

However, the pain and drug stimulation rendered Lin Ge's intervention ineffective. The two bloodthirsty cats got up without saying a word. Creamy Cat's right leg slammed as if it was deeply injured, but it still stood up regardless and glared fiercely at Lin Ge.

The yellow cat did the same; sensing the threat from Ringo, it opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth stained with blood.

The two cats looked so fierce, they really resembled demons.

"Mimi..."

Zhao Zhigao's heart was pounding with anxiety, especially as the two blood-soaked but even more ferocious cats stared intently at his Mimi, making him even more worried about her safety. These two creatures were acting like monsters, no longer like cats, but more like mindless freaks.

This fierce battle even made several workers at the repair shop look grim.

They just wanted to gamble and gain some advantage; they simply couldn't accept this kind of game that didn't treat animals as living beings.

"Brother Yang, is it ready now?"

Zhao Zhigao quickly turned to look at Brother Yang and tried his best to explain, "You saw it, neither of the two cats is a match for Mimi alone! Mimi has already won, can we end this round now?"

He remained relatively calm and did not say anything about completely ending the cat fighting activities.

"Finish?"

Brother Yang looked surprised, glanced at Zhao Zhigao, and pointed at the cage, saying, "None of them died, how is this over? Agao, what do you think cat fighting is? Didn't I just say that there are only survivors and the dead? There's no third option. The dead are thrown in the trash, the living make me a fortune. When did there ever come a question of winning or losing? Big Yang put 100,000 yuan on the table. Do you think you can just take it away by having two cats fight?"

"..."

Zhao Zhigao had no way to refute it.

Even Lin Ge, inside the cage, paused for a moment.

In other words, unless I kill these cats or am killed by them, I can't get out of this cage?

What a joke! How could anyone do that!

I thought your previous comments about kicking someone to death or beating someone to death were just adjectives or jokes! Turns out you actually meant it, and went this far?

Lin Ge turned his head and glared fiercely at Brother Yang, wondering if this guy still had any humanity left.

"Brother Yang, it can't be that serious... Aren't you going to pick the strongest cat? This level of fighting, even the strongest cat would get injured, right? Even if it's the strongest one then, how will it help the money tree afterwards?"

Zhao Zhigao swallowed hard.

"hey-hey……"

Brother Yang suddenly laughed coldly, "My cash cow participated in a cat fight like this last year. It bit three cats to death without getting hurt, gouged out two cats' eyes, and then killed the other two alive, leaving them bloodied and bruised!"

These words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Looking again at the leopard cat on Brother Yang's lap, which was restless but relatively well-behaved, it was as if he had seen the Grim Reaper.

"Only cats of this caliber are qualified to participate in real cat fights. Back then, a single win or loss represented profits of tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Did they really think that just any random cat would be qualified to compete?"

Brother Yang was also laughing, leaning lazily back in his chair, scraping his nails while picking up his keys, and said, "But in reality, the money tree didn't win a single game. But even so, it still allowed Da Yang and me to gain a foothold in Zhangzhou. Compared to that, what are the lives of a few cats?"

Looking up at Zhao Zhigao, Brother Yang reiterated, word by word, "Zhao, what do you think the lives of these cats are worth? How much money are they worth?"

"Can……"

Zhao Zhigao no longer knew how to persuade him.

Or rather, unless he exposed his police identity and forcefully rescued Mimi from the cage, Zhao Zhigao really couldn't think of a way to resolve the current situation.

As for the hope that Mimi could kill all eight cats, Zhao Zhigao believed he understood his feline partner. If she could bring herself to do it, she wouldn't have been so easily trusted by the police and sent to carry out this kind of mission.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge let out an impatient howl and slapped the yellow cat away.

But then the black and white cat charged straight at him without flinching, its bloody claws aimed at Lin Ge's eyes and slashing at him relentlessly.

Bloodlust, wildness, and frenzy have taught them what to attack. Even the weakest cat still has the instincts of a wild beast etched in its genes, knowing how to kill its target faster and more accurately.

"I'm sick!"

Lin Ge leaped up quickly, skimming over the black and white cat's head, and kicked it to the ground with his hind legs. But the yellow cat, relentless, pounced again, its breathing erratic yet still menacing.

"How about we try to knock him out?"

Lin Ge anxiously searched for a solution, even abandoning any hope of knocking the cats unconscious. There was no doubt that Da Yang and Xiao Yang were inhuman; a simple fainting spell wouldn't make them spare the precious lives of these cats.

So... do we have to demonstrate enough value to impress them?

"Whoa!"

The black and white cat, its eyes bloodshot, arched its back, its limbs almost huddled together. It bared its teeth and stared at Lin Ge, then suddenly turned its head and targeted the yellow cat next door. Even in its loss of reason, it hadn't forgotten revenge and its tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Woo..."

The yellow cat also looked fierce, and even though blood had soaked half of its face, it still adopted an aggressive stance towards the black and white cat.

Even though they dared not attack Ling Ge again, they did not give up the fight. If they continued fighting like this, these two idiots would bleed to death, if not be killed.

Lin Ge was extremely impatient.

Seeing the two stupid, foolish, and reckless creatures fighting again, with the yellow cat's tail bitten into a bizarre shape by the black and white cat, Lin Ge was completely enraged!

"Stop it, you idiots! Awooo!!!!!!!!!"

He roared in a frenzy.

The piercing sound brought the scene to an abrupt silence.

Whether it was the whispering conversation between the two Yangs, the anxious-looking Zhao Zhigao, the cheering gang members, the repair shop worker who couldn't bear to watch any longer, the other cats in the cage who were acting wildly, or the black and white cats and the yellow cats fighting each other, they all stopped moving in astonishment.

Everyone, including the cat, turned around in surprise to look at the furious cat, which was roaring loudly and appeared ordinary but exuded an intimidating aura.

Especially the cats that had lost their minds due to the effects of the drugs, were suddenly touched by something and inexplicably quieted down.

It seems... they cannot disobey the king's orders.

Even the yellow cat and the black and white cat, who were fighting, looked at each other in confusion, let go of each other, and then slowly squatted down in front of Lin Ge, enduring the pain.

"Damn it, now you know how to listen?"

Lin Ge was still furious, feeling that these two idiots deserved to have gotten themselves into this state! As for the other two-legged idiots and four-legged idiots, and the exposed ones, Lin Ge really had no mood to care about them at the moment.
