I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Upon receiving the order, Bai Xue nodded without hesitation and left the living room.

"That really puts a lot of trouble for Boss Wei! To attack someone as weak, pitiful, and helpless as I am in the dark of night is simply outrageous." After hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Pado looked frightened and echoed him.

Of course, the fear was just an act; in reality, the cat was overjoyed.

However, this can only be attributed to Wei Yanwu, the sixth brother, who brought it upon himself. After all, he was the one who took advantage of the fact that Paduo didn't know or was unaware of the Black Cloak Shadow Guards, and tried to double-cross them.

If he didn't want to lose face or expose the truth after things failed, he could only endure the cat's seemingly innocent but actually sarcastic remarks.

"..."

So Wei Yanwu, who knew exactly what was going on, got angry when he saw Pado like this, and he could barely maintain the smile on his face. In the end, he simply decided to ignore it and focused his attention on the phone book in his hand.

However, despite saying that, he didn't actually need to check the phone book much. After all, it was considered his spoils of war, and someone had already carefully checked it before it was delivered to him.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room was gradually cooling down and freezing,

A familiar, smiling voice came from the second floor.

"Miss Padofelis arrived so quickly; it seems the mission went very smoothly."

"Oh dear, it's just normal speed. And good evening, Boss Wenyue!"

"Hmm, good evening." As she spoke, Wen Yue slowly walked downstairs and sat down next to Wei Yanwu. "How is the [goods] that Miss Padofelis submitted?"

Wen Yue, who hadn't intervened in the matter and was unaware of Lao Liu's actions, looked at the silent Wei Yanwu and assumed he was somewhat displeased that Pado had passed the test, so she whispered a reminder:

"If the items are correct, let them go home and rest as soon as possible."

“…Tsk, Wen Yue, you’re right.”

Chapter 157: Conclusion and Showing Off

Although somewhat reluctant, Wei Yanwu didn't waste any more time because Wen Yue was present. After giving Padofilis a warning look, he spoke:

"Strictly speaking, you haven't fulfilled all the requirements for this commission. If you want the commission fee, I think you understand what I mean."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Pado's little face showed disbelief and speechlessness.

Wen Yue, who was present, might not have understood Wei Yanwu's meaning, but Maomao easily grasped it.

All they wanted was for her to help clean up the mess at the gang's hideout. While that was indeed part of the contract she signed, she failed to do so. Whose fault is that?

It's all because of Wei Lao Er, you bastard, that she was forced to change lanes halfway and steal the [goods]...

"Sigh... Fine, fine, what can I do? You're the boss." Facing Wei Yanwu's warning gaze, Pado helplessly shrugged and accepted the "loss."

She hasn't gotten any benefits yet, so she'll just have to put up with it! Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, we can do it again sometime!

"In that case, we'll be going now. Bosses can rest assured that I'll handle things perfectly!" With that, Pado smiled and waved to Wen Yue before leaving without a trace of regret.

Today was truly a terrible day for the cat; no matter how you look at it, rest is out of the question. Not only that, but the brick-wielding is probably going to start again later.

Once outside the governor's residence, Padre seemed to remember something and took out her phone to send a message to Swire.

【Oh dear, what a pity, Swire, you'll never have the chance to get me in!】

【…】

After showing off a little, Maomao closed the chat interface. She didn't expect Swire to reply to her message at all, because at this time, they should already be exchanging fire.

Even though Swire usually conducts, she probably wouldn't be available right now. That's why she didn't choose to make a phone call in the first place.

Afterwards, Pado called Anso to confirm her safety and inform him, then summoned the canned food directly to her side.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a "fierce battle" next. Cat even guesses that there are Penguin Logistics people at the gang's stronghold. She is currently in a semi-cleaned state and may be targeted if she goes there. So she called Canned Food over just in case.

After doing all this, she put away her phone and quickly headed towards the gang's hideout with her fat cat.

"Ugh... this is such a hassle."

……

Meanwhile, at the governor's residence—

"Wei Yanwu, what happened?" Wen Yue asked with a serious expression, looking at the several black-clad shadow guards who were carried in not long after Pado left.

Clearly, Wen Yue, as Wei Yanwu's wife, was very aware of the Black Cloak Shadow Guard's strength.

"What else could have happened? It was that little girl's doing, wasn't it?" Wei Yanwu said with a hint of displeasure in response to his wife's question. "Both you and I underestimated that little girl's abilities."

"Once these people wake up, we'll ask them what happened. Taking down so many Black Cloaks without taking any damage reminds me of the ability that brat used when she invaded this place last time."

"..."

Wen Yue had no objection to Wei Yanwu's words, but she quickly caught a detail she had missed and looked at the person next to her with suspicion, "Wei Yanwu, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"I remember our plan for tonight didn't require Black Cloak to make a move?"

"Cough, how could that be? Why would I hide anything from you, Wen Yue? It's just that there have been some minor changes, which is why I sent people out." Suppressing the guilt rising in his heart, Wei Yanwu coughed lightly and said with a serious expression.

"...That would be best."

Looking at Wen Yue beside him, who didn't seem inclined to delve into the matter further, Wei Yanwu glanced at the clock and changed the subject, "It's getting late, Wen Yue, you should go and rest."

"Yes, you should get some rest too, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"it is good."

-------------

Upon arriving at the gang's hideout, just as Pado had predicted, the scene was utter chaos, a complete melee.

Even when she sneaked in, the cat saw Exusiai and the others.

"We need to finish this quickly, canned goods."

"Meow!"

The words fell,

Hiding high above, Pado spotted the area where the gang members were gathered and threw her signature weapon into the air.

Then, accompanied by a huge meow, a massive cat, exuding a chilling aura, suddenly descended from the sky, freezing all the gang members below and pressing them all to the ground.

Following closely behind the canned goods was Paddy, who retrieved her weapon and wore a mask. She moved swiftly and gracefully through the crowd, "eliminating" and freezing the resisting survivors one by one.

Because of the strange feeling of not wanting to kill in front of Swire, the cat was restrained whether it was letting the canned food do it or doing it itself, and did not kill.

Although Pado thought those two "heartless" bosses would prefer her to kill a few of them and use them as leverage to pledge her loyalty, she couldn't change her mind.

In any case, it's not a big deal, since Wei Yanwu didn't reprimand her on this point before, did he?

Cat didn't believe that her actions at the port hadn't reached that guy's ears. Since he had tacitly agreed, she would naturally choose to follow her own heart.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of all the forces, after employing a variety of methods and suppressing all the gang members at the fastest speed, Paddo leisurely landed on the building next to Swire with the canned food.

"Oh my, isn't this Miss Swire? Good evening!"

"Meow meow!"

"..."

Seeing Pato waving from a high place, Swire raised an eyebrow and said, "You're way too late, and that mask of yours is really ugly!"

To be honest, these were truly Little Tiger's thoughts. She really hadn't expected this guy to arrive so late, even though he had been a step ahead of her in everything before...

Although she has arrived and taken care of everyone, her men have already gone to the base to search for the [goods].

"Well, it's just for temporary use. And Swire, you really didn't see the message." Hearing this, Patto waved her hand dismissively, then said with a sly look in her eyes.

"?"

Swire suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly took out her silent phone to check it.

Chapter 158 Ends with the Shop

"..."

Before reading Patto's message, Swire was in a pretty good mood. After reading it, only two words could describe her current mood: utterly devastated.

Now, the little tiger can't even stay angry anymore; he feels both upset and depressed.

"What exactly happened? Did you set me up?" Swire said through gritted teeth, rubbing her temples.

"Hey, Swire, you can't wrong me. I'm a victim too. If I hadn't been so well-informed, I might have been in trouble this time too." Hearing this, Patto quickly waved her hand in denial.

What a joke! She's not going to take the blame for such a huge, black pot.

“…Never mind, give me an explanation later.” With her officers all on duty, Swire couldn’t continue chatting with Patto, who was wearing a mask and didn’t seem like a good person.

"Oh, no problem!" Pado nodded lightly, then glanced at the one-sided situation on the field and said, "It seems we're not needed here anymore. To avoid any conflict, we'll take our leave first!"

"Oh, right, just in case, let's leave the canned food with Swire this time."

"Meow~"

As soon as Pado finished speaking, the canned creature perched on her shoulder let out a soft cry and then jumped down from the height, landing next to Swire.

Canned food doesn't object to following Swire, since these days there aren't many people who buy her expensive cat food, canned food, and treats.

After doing all that, the cat didn't waste any more time. It nimbly disappeared into the night and vanished without a trace.

"Cough... Canned Food, don't wander off, stay close."

Swire glanced at the furry can beside her, cleared her throat, suppressed the urge to touch it, and then returned to giving instructions.

"Meow~"

-------------

Because she didn't want to confront the Penguin Logistics team, who were clearly targeting her, Pado asked Xiao Shi to summon her after she disappeared into the corner, thus getting her away from the chaotic area.

"I'm so tired today, I feel like I could just collapse and fall asleep right now, ah~" As she spoke, Pado couldn't help but yawn. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you so much, Boss Shi, for today."

Although Maomao really wanted to just lie down and sleep at Xiaoshi's place, she thought about Ansuo, who was still alone outside, and decided to go and meet up with him to avoid any mishaps.

"No need to thank me, it's only right for the boss to protect his little brother. Alright, go back and rest." Xiao Shi, who was already leisurely lying on the bed, waved to Pa Duo.

"Ah."

Afterwards, Pado sent a message to Ansuo and then left, heading in that direction.

……

After spending some time meeting up with the wary An Suo who was hiding outside, Pado did not find a place to stay as usual, but instead took her people directly to a better hotel and booked a room.
