Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

"..."

Nicole is torn.

The Dead End Butcher is very powerful; they can't handle him.

But the commission is already two-thirds complete, and it would be a shame to give up at the last point.

Seeing Nicole's hesitant look, the cat suddenly became anxious: "Please, that family heirloom is really valuable!"

"If you're willing to help me find it, I'm willing to give you 70% of the value of my family heirlooms!"

Please, please say yes!

Once you reach that place, you can set off!

"Ah! 70% of the priceless family heirloom, that's how much Tennys!" Instantly, Nicole's eyes could see nothing but Tennys.

However, considering that she couldn't make her manners too unseemly, Nicole said seriously, "This isn't me forcing you to raise prices! It's just that when entering high-risk places like Dead End Cave, we need to be fully prepared. All sorts of new equipment and emergency response measures need to be updated. You understand what I mean?"

“I understand, I understand. After all, the Dead End Cave is so dangerous, it’s only right to raise the commission fee.” Cat echoed Nicole, but inwardly she sneered.

You talk a lot, but why don't you go and get the equipment?

As expected of a greedy and cunning rabbit house, may you greedy villains rest in peace in the empty road to death today.

“Wait a minute, Nicole, it’s too dangerous for us to just go into this dead end.” Ambly looked at Neko, somewhat suspicious. “Besides, I have a feeling that this client has ill intentions.”

Barr nodded in agreement and said seriously, "Based on my many years of experience in power, I think there's something wrong with this person as well."

Anbi looked at Baal as if she had found a kindred spirit: "What a clever bum, perhaps what they call great minds think alike in the movies."

"Really? I feel like everything is perfectly normal."

Billy was still happily fiddling with the Star Knight Badge he had just acquired, completely oblivious to Nekomata's odd behavior.

Ah, this badge is truly magnificent!

Looking at Billy's silly, grinning face, Barr gave him a pitying look and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Billy happened to see Bal's actions and couldn't help but complain, "Seriously? Why do I feel like even a bum is smarter than me?"

Although this bum only slightly echoed Ambi's reasoning, it conveyed the feeling of a monarch praising his clever minister.

As for why he's considered "a little clever," it's because this Barr seems to think that his boss Billy and Nicole aren't very smart.

Hey, hey, hey, do you have to look so pitiful in your eyes? It makes you seem like a smart person! You're just a tiny, slightly cute little bumblebee!

Billy looked at Barr's occasional scrutinizing gaze and slight head shakes, as if an old machine was being lamented by a master repairman as being utterly useless.

Suddenly, the Star Knight Badge in his hand didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Amby said calmly, "Because that's true, and you are indeed smarter than Billy."

"what?"

Billy was utterly mortified, sunk by the combined attack of Bal and Ambi.

He knew that Anbi was very simple-minded and straightforward in her interactions with others.

But precisely because of this, he knew that Ambion truly considered him inferior to a Bomb, which was incredibly disheartening.

Nicole ignored Billy's antics and pondered what Bal and Ambi had said, finding some truth in it.

Nicole looked at Nekomata suspiciously: "Nekomata, do you really have some bad intentions?"

"Meow! Don't talk nonsense, you're the one with ill intentions!" Cat suddenly said excitedly, "I just want to find my family heirlooms as soon as possible. If the Red Fang Gang moves the things away, I will never be able to find my family heirlooms again."

"I have to consider whether this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life!"

"And the people from the Rabbit House are hilarious, especially that ice-cold poker-faced guy, who actually shares the same opinion as Bomb. His IQ is just too low!"

She spoke with perfect diction, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice.

"..."

Barr frowned deeply, looking like he wanted to teach the kitten a lesson.

It should be known that General Thunder cannot be insulted. Even someone as good-tempered as her cannot allow herself to be treated like a fool. This Miss Cat Demon needs to experience the majesty of thunder.

Nicole didn't believe her immediately, but instead asked Ambly, "What evidence do you have that the cat is up to no good?"

Ambion shook her head and said calmly, "It's just my intuition, and it's always been very accurate."

"Fine, you dare to doubt your client based solely on your vague intuition? What kind of agents are you?" Cat Demon appeared extremely arrogant, but inwardly he was trembling with fear.

He sensed her ill intentions through mere intuition.

This cold, poker-faced woman is really hard to deal with. Even though her acting is flawless, I can't help but feel something's off based on my intuition.

We can't let them continue to have doubts; we have to push them a little harder.

The cat gave a cold snort, feigning indifference: "If your Rabbit House isn't willing, then I'll find other willing agents. Don't regret it then!"

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for helping me locate the first two Red Fang Gang storage locations, which allowed me to focus on the final location."

Goodbye, kind-hearted rabbit house!

As it spoke, the cat made a move to leave.

"Wait! Nekomata, we'll complete this request." Nico stopped Nekomata and said seriously, "We've already done half of this request, I'm not going to let other agents get away with it!"

"Alright then, considering how sincere your Rabbit House is, we'll let you do this request!"

The cat was secretly delighted, but its little face scrunched up as it made a reluctant expression.

"Ahem, but to get into the Dead End Void, I still need 70% of the family relics, right?" Nicole asked nervously.

"..." The cat nodded speechlessly, "Of course, no problem, that's the reward you deserve."

This Nicole is hopeless; she's obsessed with money to the core.

But it's all for the best; if Nicole weren't so greedy, her plan wouldn't have gone smoothly.

"Alright, the reward has increased. Now, let's have this poker-faced guy and this clever little Bomb go together to find my family heirloom!"

The cat then looked at Ambi and Bal, a hint of smugness in its eyes.

"..."

Baal's rage level increased by one.

She didn't try to persuade Nicole anymore, because she knew she couldn't change the mind of this greedy boss.

She felt something was off about the cat when she was at home, and now that she's walked around, she's even more certain that the cat has malicious intentions.

While searching for the first two strongholds, the Red Fang Gang members seemed to recognize her.

Furthermore, this cat lady would occasionally lead them toward a monster called Yi Hai, although she didn't care about those things that were weaker than Hilichurls, and Nico and her friends easily defeated Yi Hai.

But things were clearly not that simple. The cat was testing the group's strength and was gradually gaining confidence.

What a laughable little trick! They think they've seen through everything just by looking at a superficial surface. If Inazuma were working under her, he'd probably be a corrupt official who dies every three years.

No, it's not that she can survive for three years as a corrupt official right under her nose. This Miss Nekomata is actually quite capable, but she was a little too hasty this time.

Moreover, the cat lady seemed to have some issues with it, and she decided to increase the electric current on the cat later.

She didn't stop Nico from going to the dead end, because she felt that the person she had encountered before, Yi Hai, wasn't very strong, and that this Miss Nico had been blinded by self-interest.

Compared to her complete Demon God realm, the skeleton she had encountered before was nothing.

Or rather, even with this so-called Bangbu body, she felt no pressure whatsoever.

Since that's the case, let's follow this cat lady to see what tricks she's up to, and then give her an unforgettable lesson.
