Super Pallas's Cat

The Mao Gang was running an underground supercat trade.

In fact, judging by the number of people at the auction, it was doing a really good job.

The men Zhao Yao had eavesdropped on were from Talon and Ivory, two of the most active non-government apostle factions in the country. Representatives from overseas groups were in attendance as well. His ears picked up conversations between apostles from absurd groups like the Karma Cult, Heaven Sect, and Storm Organisation. These were all cabals of dissidents that wanted nothing more but wreak havoc.

There was no way that the authorities would allow an auction for them to congregate. They obviously did not have as much control over the Mao Gang as they thought they did.
