Chapter 194: Who Did It

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Raccoons were good swimrs. But as Crispy Noodles was kicked into the pool unexpectedly, it was only natural that the raccoon panicked and struggled in the water.

Li Du quickly got into the pool and held Crispy Noodles in his arms.

The poor raccoon was frightened and hugged Li Du’s arm tightly with its paws, whining, and Li could feel its heart pounding furiously.

Ah ow needed to be taught a lesson for bullying Crispy Noodles.

Li Du stared at Ah ow. Both Li and Ah ow’s eyes t for an instant and the ocelot imdiately bolted and disappeared amongst the green bushes.

Hans laughed loudly at the funny scene he witnessed. “Li, what are you going to do now?”

Li Du was cross. He was angry with the ocelot for bullying the raccoon and running away to avoid punishnt.

Li Du called out for Ah ow furiously. “Ah ow, co back here! I am really, really angry now!”

A furry cat head slowly appeared among the bushes, looking at Li Du cautiously. Ah ow looked like it was ready to escape anyti.

Li Du had a cold expression and waved to the vigilant ocelot. “Ah ow, co here!”

Hans laughed, “Co over if you want to get spanked. I guarantee you won’t be able to move for three days!”

Ah ow shuddered while looking at Li Du’s expression, withdrawing its head back into the safety of the bushes, leaving only a pair of big, round eyes visible.

Li Du gave Hans a dirty look and made a “get out” gesture to Hans, as though he were saying, “Just go away, you troublemaker!”

But when Li turned back to look at Ah ow, the young ocelot had disappeared; even its eyes were nowhere to be seen.

Crispy Noodles now understood that Li Du wanted to discipline Ah ow.

Its spirits lifted; it jumped off from Li Du’s arms and waved its paw in the air—as if to signal to Li that it knew where Ah ow had gone—before running after the ocelot.

The raccoon’s forepaws had nerves that could sense light and sll, functioning similarly to the eye and nose.

When raccoons looked for food, they depended on this unique ability of the front paws more than their eyes and nose.

Crispy Noodles led the way, detecting Ah ow’s presence by using its front paw.

Li Du followed Crispy Noodles closely behind.

The raccoon led Li Du to the public pool; each pool had an area of around 260 square feet, with over a dozen patrons soaking themselves in each one.

Suddenly, they heard a loud caterwaul; Li Du knew had co from Ah ow.

Soon enough, Ah ow ca running toward them. Arrogant laughter ca from one of the pool.

“That’s an ocelot—be careful of its claws!”

“If it dares to co near again, I will seize it and sell it to the Middle East!”

“You should‘ve caught it. These animals are valuable. I heard they could fetch a price of over 100,000 dollars in the Middle East!”

“F*ck, why didn’t you say so earlier? I wouldn’t have burned it. I would have caught it and earned that huge sum of money!”

Li Du’s face turned dark as he heard the loud conversations.

Ah ow had wet patches on its back when it ca running toward him.

As Li still had that displeased look on his face, it looked hesitant for a mont and dashed to the nearby golden privet bushes, and owed softly, but pitifully.

Li Du knew the aning of the owing sounds that Ah ow made: the ocelot must have been in pain from the burns it suffered.

He quickly smiled and waved to Ah ow. “It’s okay now, Ah ow. Co to Daddy.”

Ah ow looked up to see Li’s expression before it leaped into his arms.

The ocelot was still a kid. It was around 30 to 40 cm long, but Ah ow wasn’t heavy, so Li Du could easily hold it in his arms.

Li Du then inspected the wet parts of Ah ow; its fur was still hot and when he touched it, Ah ow twitched a little from the pain. Li Du had seen the skin was red too.

Li Du was enraged that Ah ow had gotten hurt. He went in the direction where the laughter was heard.

“Hey, that big cat seems familiar. Don’t you think so? Ah, that ocelot looks just like that Chinaman’s baby.”

“What? China Li? Freddy, are you kidding ?”

Li Du was surprised to hear that. It looked like the group of people might be treasure hunters; otherwise, they wouldn’t know him or recognize Ah ow at all.

When he reached the public pool, 15 n were soaking in the bath and talking, and he noticed that one of the black n looked familiar.

That guy was Freddy, a muscular guy with cornrows, the one who had provoked them before in an auction.

This was only the second ti Li Du had t Freddy, but his na and face were already etched into Li’s mind.

When Li attended an auction at Phoenix in order to take revenge on Rick for the Hundred Thousand Club incident, a fellow treasure hunter had warned them that Freddy was poking around for information on both Li Du and Hans.

Looking at these people, Li had an angry expression on his face and asked coldly, “Who burned my cat?”

Li Du stood by the poolside, glaring down at the group of n soaking inside the pool with a furious expression; the aura he emitted was intimidating.

Nobody answered him. The group of n remained silent; so looked down at the water while others closed their eyes and relaxed.

Li Du pointed at the group. “Why? Can’t hear ? Who just hurt my cat? Who wanted to sell it to the Middle East? Why? Lost your balls? No guts to own up?”

Freddy was sitting directly across from Li. His arms were spread out openly, resting on the edge of the pool. “Hey Chinaman, be careful with your words—this is not Asia!”

Mr. Li narrowed his eyes and glared at Freddy. “Are you the one then?”

Freddy replied with disdain, “If I were the one, your cat would already be cooked.”

A tall, lanky black man laughed. “We would have so cat at then.”

Li Du stared at the tall guy. “F*ck you. So it was you then?”

When the tall guy spoke, Li recognized his voice: it belonged to the man who had said he should have caught Ah ow and sold it to the Middle East.

The tall guy shook his head. “D*mn, you idiot! Don’t accuse —I didn’t splash hot water on your cat!”

Li Du sneered, “Did I say that you splashed hot water on my cat? Don’t cross people if you’re lacking in the brains departnt—I should just use the word ‘idiot.’”

Several n in the group started to express their opinions as well:

“Wow, Bart, you’re really an idiot!”

“Ha! You should have left that cat alone! You’ve asked for it!”

“This guy’s a fool—he’s been tricked by Freddy!”

With the group of treasure hunters mocking him, Bart felt ashad, but at the sa ti he beca enraged as well.

He stood up from the pool and shouted, “So what if I’m the one?”

Li Du took a quick glance at him—when he noticed the disposable swimming trunks that Bart was wearing, a perfect, sinister idea ca to mind.

The disposable swimming trunks ca in one single size. This ant that the disposable trunks would be able to fit most people, including those who were obese as well. That also ant the leaner and slimr guys would find them loose.

Li Du released the little bug to absorb the ti energy in Bart’s disposable trunks.

The elastic band of the trunks quickly lost its elasticity and slid down Bart’s waist in an instant, just a few seconds after Bart stood up from the pool.

There were a few gasps and exclamations in the group, yelling and pointing to Bart about his trunks.

Bart was dumbfounded for a second before quickly pulling up the elastic band of the trunks.

As Bart was in a hurry to pull up his swimming trunks, he had used a bit more force than usual and rip, the elastic band separated from the rest of the trunks.
