INICIAR SESIÓNRay chuckled. "I'm not a dog. So I don't have a habit of eating… that."Leo: I feel offended.Unexpectedly, Paige leaned forward and said, "Let me have a bite."'Huh? Didn't you just act disgusted?'"I've already eaten it. You're not grossed out?" Ray asked.Paige gave him a coquettish side-eye. "I've eaten all sorts of things before. A bite of something you've eaten is nothing."'Whoa… this girl's bold.'Ray handed her the bowl anyway. Her emotions were clearly still a little unhinged; otherwise, she wouldn't say something so shameless.Sure enough, Paige didn't hesitate. She took a couple of bites before saying, "Something that smells bad to the nose tastes amazing to the mouth."Ray was speechless.She took another couple of bites, then set down her fork. "How did you cook them? Even if there's a gas stove or an induction cooker here, the power and gas must be out. How did you make it hot?"Ray raised an eyebrow, impressed.Who says a big-chested woman can't be smart?"
Ray repeated the process without hesitation.Apart from Gunnr's three main champions and another five captains, every other low-level thug in the area was weak. Most ranked at three- or five-units of power, with only a handful reaching twenty-units. Targeted, swapped, and absorbed by Ray, they barely put up any resistance.It ended so fast, the alert barely triggered before the enemies were gone.However, trouble arose when he attempted to capture the twenty-second enemy.This one was beast-type—and avian, no less. The crucial detail: he awoke just as Ray attempted the spatial swap. The moment he appeared before Ray, he transformed, furiously flapping his wings. Although Ray immediately compressed him into the spatial portal, the gust generated by his wings triggered the alarm.Ding ding ding!The bells on the alarm cord rang incessantly. The entire Fanghold was alerted.The "fan operator" immediately acted, dispersing the dense mist across the enclave, while spotlights swung wi
"No! Absolutely not!" Jeffrey roared, charging forward to grab Paige and drag her back.But Ray had already scooped her up in his arms, striding forward with calm determination.Jeffrey pushed himself to the limit, yet no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't close the gap. At best, he could maintain a static distance, neither catching up nor falling behind.In that moment, he didn't consider the difference in their abilities. There was only one thought in his mind, 'No! Fucking! Way!'Ray quickly slipped into a hotel. Jeffrey, seething with anger, followed without hesitation.He reached the third floor just in time to see Ray carrying Paige into a room, using a kick and a hook with his foot to slam the door shut.Jeffrey lunged to push the door open, but the moment his hand extended, a wave of icy cold stopped him dead in his tracks.Danger. Extreme danger. He could die.The spatial portal was right there, open. The cold pierced his soul, and rationality instantly took over. His
Jeffrey's face turned beet-red, looking like a scolded monkey.Earlier, Ray had asked, if he were stronger than Emmett and fancied Jeffrey, would Jeffrey sacrifice himself for his family?"This… this is ridiculous!" Jeffrey stammered, his voice trembling. Just imagining a powerful man locking him down made him nauseous."And what do you think?" Ray asked coolly. His acting was flawless; there was no way to tell from his expression whether he was serious or joking.Jeffrey's face flickered red and white as a fierce mental battle raged inside him. Finally, he gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. "I… I am a man! I will never accept such humiliation!" He'd rather die in battle than endure this.Ray chuckled. Double standard much, eh?Paige snorted. "Jeffrey, why aren't you talking about protecting your family now?""Men and women are different!" Jeffrey tried to justify himself. "Since the olden days, only women have sold themselves—brothels, you know? Men don't do that
Ray swung open a spatial portal. Several massive fireballs shot straight toward Emmett.This was a feint.The air blades had struck earlier, but the spatial portal had effortlessly absorbed them. Emmett, impressive as he was, let out a sharp bark of breath, summoning a violent gust around him that snuffed out the fireballs without effort.Still, he frowned.Judging by the intensity of the fireballs, Ray's ability level seemed low—roughly on par with one of the fire-wielding subordinates under his command. But if that were truly the case, the three air blades earlier should have cut him into pieces.Something didn't add up.Low attack, high defense? That didn't fit the profile of a fire-type ability user. Strange.Emmett might be arrogant and lustful, but no reckless fool could rise to head a major faction. The stupid ones died long ago.He studied Ray for a moment, then unexpectedly smiled, as if greeting a long-lost friend. "I am Emmett, leader of Bunker's End. And you, mister
Steve spat. "Who cares about some random faction leader! If anyone even thinks about laying a hand on my wife, I don't care if all six major factions show up, I'll fight them to the death!"That was the essence of irreconcilable differences. People are not the same.Jeffrey sneered. "You can talk tough now, but when Emmett actually shows up, don't be the first one to kneel!""Bring him on! Let's see who kneels first!" Steve shouted, brimming with bravado."Heh… I'm here."A voice rang out, and suddenly a violent gust of wind swept toward them. When it subsided, a man appeared in its wake.He was short, barely 167 centimeters, plain-faced, and nowhere near the tall, graceful Jeffrey. His head was round and fleshy, with a cruel and petty look about him, like the kind of street thug from the old days.Jeffrey's expression shifted immediately. "Emmett, you're here!"Paige shivered, her face draining of color.She loathed this irresponsible cousin. Six months ago, during her weddin
Lucas's team watched with cold sneers.Once that massive boulder came down, the entire villa would be shattered instantly. Even if the rat inside wasn't crushed to death, he would at least be badly injured and forced to flee.Suddenly, their vision blurred.Another huge boulder flew out from the
Ray was resting with his eyes closed.He had barely slept a few hours the night before. Even though his body was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, he still couldn't afford to overdraw himself too much.From time to time, he released a pulse of spatial perception. Sending one out every
It was completely impassable.Digging out a passage? It could be done, but how long would it take? It would be even slower than walking out on foot.So one had to keep a low profile. When national power reemerged and accounts were settled later, which bird that stuck its head out could possibly su
A vast shower of stones shot down from the sky, as if a rainstorm made of rock were falling.They plunged at tremendous speed.These were kinetic stones to begin with, already moving at nearly twenty meters per second. Dropping from a height of ten meters only accelerated them further. Ray then op
