Chapter 390 Hidden Behind the Curtain
"Bad cat!"
Zatanna tapped Connors on the head with her knuckles as punishment, while the Black Canary tenderly cradled the tabby kitten that Connors had transformed into in her arms.
"He's probably uncomfortable around strangers. Mr. Dell, are you alright?"
Dale, whose face was scratched three times by Connors' cat claws, had a hint of anger on his face, but at this moment, he also took the opportunity of the brightly dressed woman speaking to recognize her as Black Canary.
Dell had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being:
"It's fine, but Zatanna, can you guarantee that the cat will behave on stage? I don't want my audience to have their enjoyment ruined because of a cat."
"Don't worry, I assure you it will be more well-behaved than the best kitten on stage."
Zatanna nodded repeatedly to assure him that there was no problem. Seeing that the casino owner didn't seem to be pursuing the issue any further, she quickly changed the subject and started discussing the timing of the magic show.
Connors was lounging lazily on the black canary's chest.
He has already given Zatanna and Black Canary hints in his own way; if the simple-minded Zatanna still can't see it,
Connors had no choice but to let the so-called magic show continue.
They didn't linger too long in casino owner Dale's office; the venue was arranged about two hours later, and invitations were sent to the guests that Dale deemed worthy of invitation.
As one of the world's top magicians, her figure and looks are even more pleasing to the eye than her magic performances. Naturally, the guests wouldn't refuse, and they all said they would definitely come to support her that evening.

Even without the magic show, they would still come to the casino in the evenings for some entertainment among the upper class. In the lounge that Dale had prepared for Zatanna, Zatanna and Black Canary each sat on a single sofa.
"Why hasn't Connors arrived yet? Didn't you say he would be traveling with us?"
For some reason, the black canary kept thinking about Connors' arrival. Little did she know that the tabby kitten she held in her arms was Connors in disguise.
Zatanna instinctively looked at the tabby cat for permission, and seeing Connors nod, she slowly began to speak:
"Dina, what you don't know is that Connors has been with us all along."
Upon hearing this, the black canary looked around but didn't even glance down at the tabby cat, who had buried its head in her crotch again, ready to sleep.
Where is he?
Zatanna pointed at the tabby cat with a strange expression:
"He is Connors in disguise."
The black canary froze for a moment, then immediately scooped up the tabby cat and held it to her face:
"You're saying this is Connors?!"
This time, without Zatanna needing to confirm, Connors nodded on his own.
In an instant, the black canary's face turned redder than a ripe peach.
During the few days in Las Vegas, the black canary was almost inseparable from the tabby cat, even cuddling together while taking a bath and sleeping.
He had already seen everything, both what he should and shouldn't have seen, and even taking advantage of being a cat, Connors frequently used his paws to knead and do things like that.
Putting everything else aside, Connors wakes up every morning on the black canary's plump thighs, and during the day he sleeps soundly in the black canary's crotch.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The black canary stared at the tabby cat in disbelief, wanting to throw the cat to the ground but also feeling a little reluctant.
"I thought you already knew, after all, your favorite animal is a bird, and cats and birds are almost sworn enemies," Zatanna said, revealing a reason she had prepared long ago.
These words were like a wake-up call. Black Canary only realized her unusual behavior these past few days when Zatanna brought it up herself. No matter how much she liked small animals, she shouldn't have liked them this much.
Seeing Black Canary speechless, Zatanna forced a smile, preparing to see how her best friend and Connors would handle the awkward situation.
But there wasn't enough time; there was a loud knocking on the door of the lounge.
Zatanna gave the black canary a wink, and the black canary instinctively tried to put the tabby cat down, but ultimately picked it up again.
"Hello, who are you?" Zatanna opened the door to the lounge and asked a person dressed as a waiter.
"Mr. Dell asked me to tell you that the magic show stage is ready and will officially begin in an hour," the waiter said.
Snapped!
Zatanna closed the door and looked at Black Canary and Connors, saying:
"It seems their preparations are faster than I expected. Hopefully, our target for this operation, the wizard named Tina, has also arrived."
"What do I need to do?" Getting down to business, Black Canary temporarily set aside the question of whether the cat in her arms was Connors. "I've been wearing this flamboyant assistant outfit the whole time, but you still haven't told me how to coordinate with you on stage?"
Zatanna smiled and said:
"I don't need an assistant for many magic tricks. Today, I only need your help with one human body separation magic trick."
What is human body separation?
"It's like putting you in a cabinet made up of three square boxes, with your head, torso, and legs each occupying one box, and then I'll misplace these three boxes—" Zatanna explained.
"That sounds scary," Black Canary commented.
"And what about Connors, the cat?" she asked again.
"We'll see how things go," Zatanna said.
An hour later, as the curtain rose, Zatanna's Las Vegas tour magic show officially began.
Just as she had said in the lounge, Zatanna opened a long cabinet and let the black canary lie down inside.
Connors, who had transformed into a tabby cat, stood quietly to one side, but as the cabinet door gradually closed, Connors jumped into the cabinet as well.
Zatanna ignored this, and simply pretended to cover the cabinet with a red cloth while waving her magic wand around.
Only after whetting the audience's appetite did Zatanna untie the red cloth and move the three boxes away one by one.
As the box completely separated, the black canary seemed to be divided into three pieces as well.
This was just a trick by Zatanna, a type of magic, and nothing unexpected happened during the process.
When the magic show was over, the black canary emerged from the cabinet unharmed, winning a round of applause from the audience.
The magic tricks that followed were no longer her concern. Black Canary scurried to the curtain and slipped inside, leaving only her head sticking out to observe the audience below.
This was also part of her and Zatanna's plan.
But before Black Canary could get a good look at the faces of the audience, she felt a chill down her spine as if her already short sequined skirt had been lifted up.
Immediately following was a gasp from the black canary.
