Chapter 164 A Familiar Face
"You are in the City of Empire. Are you lost?" the bystander asked the man in the black robe.
A crease formed on his forehead upon hearing that. The name of the place didn't make sense to him but he knew that he was already in a different world.
He shook his head to answer the bystander's query. "No, I'm not. Thank you."
After thanking the person, the man in the black robe continued walking ahead. He was observing his environment and comparing it to the other world.
Since the day he came to this world, he had seen new things… different vehicles, tall buildings, concrete houses, different clothes the people are wearing, and many more.
He didn't know how long he was wandering in this world. He was looking for someone but he didn't know where to start.
The place was very fast and it was crowded with so many people. He was wondering how he would be able to find the person he was looking for.
For an unknown reason, as he continued his journey, his feet brought him here. Something was pulling him in this place.
He looked up in the sky. It was starting to get dark. He wanted to go to a higher place to oversee the City. He felt like sooner or later, he would be able to find what he came here for.
He believed that there was a certain reason why he was drawn to this place.
Meanwhile, FaMo already left the supermarket. He was now walking outside the streets as he continued following the direction where he could feel the force.
But compared to before, this force was weaker than the other one.
"Is he controlling and limiting his magical power to hide his presence?" FaMo mumbled to himself.
FaMo was doing the same thing, concealing some of his magical power. He maintained his cat form to serve as his disguise as well.

But one thing was for sure, FaMo could feel a fire element in that person and it seemed familiar to him. FaMo started to run, the force was slowly moving farther away from his current location.
It did not take long when FaMo reached the crossroads. From the other side, he saw a person wearing a black robe.
His attention was caught immediately as his presence was the most unique among the people walking in that street. His aura was also different.
However, FaMo couldn't see his face because his back was facing him. He wanted to go closer to him but the traffic light started flashing the green signal, thus stopping FaMo when vehicles kept moving in front of him.
It caused some delays for FaMo. By the time he was able to cross the road, he heard Zhen-Zhen's voice in his subconscious.
Zhen-Zhen: 'FaMo, where are you? Come back now. We are done here. We are about to go back to the Davis Family Mansion.'
FaMo stopped on his track when he heard her voice. He was having conflicting thoughts. His gaze was fixed on the man in a black robe who was now walking away from his location.
He wanted to follow him. It was just a matter of time before he could reach him. But Zhen-Zhen was already calling him. FaMo had also caught the attention of other bystanders nearby.
Some of them were taking his picture and filming him using their mobile phones. They were amazed to see a fluffy and adorable black cat strolling around the streets alone.
They even noticed that he knew how to follow traffic rules and he looked like he was chasing after someone.
'Oops. I didn't catch the attention of the man in black robe but I ended up catching the attention of these humans.' FaMo lamented, sighing inwardly.
'I think it's time to go back now.' FaMo told himself.
He glanced one last time in the direction of the man in a black robe. He was curious about the identity of that person. He had a nagging feeling about this.
'Who is he? A guardian warrior from our world? But how come he was able to go here? Did the guardian warriors figure out how to create a portal going to this new world?'
FaMo couldn't help but feel uneasy about Zhen-Zhen's safety.
'If that person is a guardian warrior then there's only one reason why he comes here. That is to kill Zhen-Zhen, the demon god's daughter.'
FaMo was still in deep thoughts when he heard Zhen-Zhen's voice once again.
'FaMo, can you hear me? Please come back now.'
'I'm coming now, Zhen-Zhen.' FaMo finally responded to her.
After saying that, FaMo immediately ran back towards the Supermarket where Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle were waiting for him.
Unknown to FaMo, the man in a black robe turned around the moment he sensed FaMo's aura.
"Wait… what is that creature? I could feel that it possesses some magical powers. Are there supernatural creatures here in this new world as well?" the man with a black robe said.
Reflexively, he moved to follow FaMo. The cat was running so fast. The man tried his best to catch up with FaMo.
It did not take long when he was able to close their distance. He stopped on the other side while watching FaMo.
He saw the black cat stopped at the entrance of one establishment. Three women emerged from the glass door of the supermarket.
One of them scooped the black cat from the ground and carried it. The man's eyes widened upon seeing the face of the woman carrying the black cat.
"S-She… she looks familiar to me. Don't tell me… she is the one… It couldn't be… am I seeing the right person?"
The man with a black robe was eyeing Zhen-Zhen from top to bottom, surprise and disbelief were written all over his face.
