LOGINRay thought it over and decided against using Steve Maden's name again. He'd developed a dislike for that name."The name's Gray," he said instead."Which of the three major gangs do you belong to?" Theresa asked.The three major gangs?"What three gangs?" Ray countered."You don't even know the three major gangs?" Theresa frowned, clearly surprised. "You're not from Herale City?"Ray smiled. "No, I'm from another state. I came here tracking down a group of Jayzepanese invaders. Do you know where they are?"Theresa shook her head. "I haven't heard of them. But in my gang, the Silver Sharks, there's someone with a divination-type ability. We could ask him to do a calculation—since you're hunting Jayzepanese invaders, I can give you a discounted price."Oh? There were even divination-type ability users?Was that like peeking into the future?But seriously—how was he supposed to know what their original price even was? For all he knew, the "discount" was just a price inflated te
After resting for more than ten minutes, Ray's body finally "cooled down."He could continue moving now.The moment he pushed off again, he headed straight north.Herale City was over eight hundred kilometers away. At Ray's full speed, he could have reached it in less than an hour. But because he had stopped midway to rest for over ten minutes, it ultimately took him close to a full hour to arrive at the historic northern metropolis.Standing atop a skyscraper, Ray gazed down at the snow-covered city below and couldn't help sighing inwardly.He had never once traveled to the north before, so naturally, he had never visited places like Herale City or the Empire City.Back then, it wasn't that he didn't want to. He simply never had the opportunity.Would the Gantt family ever have been willing to spend that kind of money on him?Now he had finally arrived. But there was no one left selling the city's famous pastries anymore.Still, it was only a passing thought. He didn't feel p
The ability had transferred successfully, which meant Perry was truly dead.Ray examined the newly acquired power for a moment. Perry's ability level actually wasn't that high—only around five hundred units. Even accounting for loss during absorption, it probably hadn't exceeded six or seven hundred at most.Yet such a minor figure, someone with fewer than seven hundred units, had nearly caused trouble for a monster like Ray, who possessed close to sixty thousand units.That was the terrifying part about psychic-type ability users. Their attacks were silent and subtle, like rain soaking into the earth without a sound. They didn't even trigger danger warnings. Truly frightening."Still, this proves psychic abilities have enormous potential. Hell, he could even merge with an entire ship... If someone stronger evolved further, could they merge with the entire planet?"A person's thoughts could become the will of the world itself? Damn. That sounded unbelievably domineering.Ray chuc
There was some logic to it, but it definitely wasn't the whole truth.Ray originally intended to keep questioning Perry, but after a moment's thought, he decided it was unnecessary.What he cared about most was the identity and location of the mysterious ability user. Now that he had dragged the 'man' into the open, did the details of his schemes really matter anymore?He could just kill him.No matter how many plots or conspiracies Perry had, what difference would it make once he was dead?After all, Perry had attacked Ray yesterday and nearly caught him off guard. That alone guaranteed Ray would never let him live.Smiling faintly, Ray continued walking forward.Everywhere he passed, sections of the ship shattered apart as though devoured by some metal-eating beast. Steel, plating, support beams—everything was crushed into fragments."Stop! Stop!" Perry shouted through the ship's loudspeakers. "You promised that if I told you everything, you wouldn't kill me!""I know," Ray
"Actually... you've already seen me," the electronic voice said.What did that mean?Could the mysterious figure be one of the eight people aboard the ship? Impossible!If someone could hide from Ray that completely, then their strength would be terrifyingly high — so high that Ray wouldn't stand a chance against them."Come out," Ray said coldly. He hated this kind of mysterious act more than anything. There could only be one king of showing off here."You're practically tearing me apart!" the electronic voice replied gloomily.Wait... what?Ray froze for a moment. Then he looked down at the massive cruise ship beneath his feet and suddenly laughed."You're not seriously trying to tell me that you are this ship, are you?""As ridiculous as it sounds, it's the truth," the synthetic voice answered immediately."Hahaha!"Ray laughed so hard his stomach hurt."What the hell is this? This isn't some over-the-top comedy comic. Since when can a ship evolve?""I'm not a ship. I'm
The electronic voice remained silent for a long moment before finally speaking again."You're an ability user too, so you should understand my mindset. We're no longer ordinary humans. To us, ordinary people are no different from ants. In fact, you could say we're no longer even the same species."It's like how humans can experiment on lab mice however they want. Who cares whether the mice are willing or what they think?"Once people gained overwhelming power, it was inevitable that some ability users would become arrogant beyond measure, lawless and untouchable.Ray couldn't even be bothered arguing with him.Since when had reason ever been settled through debate? Of course it hadn't. The stronger your fist, the greater your truth.If I say you're wrong, then you're wrong. Otherwise, I'll smash your skull in with one punch, and once you're dead, you won't be arguing anymore. See? Silence.Ray said calmly, "Yesterday, you tried to control me. How are you going to compensate me f
Early the next morning, Ray woke up lazily. He glanced at the time—just past seven. Hmm, still early.He set his phone aside and rolled over, deciding to go back to sleep.What was the point of getting up so early? There was no need to clock in for work.By the time he woke again, it was already
The flavor was exquisite.Watching Ray swallow a bite, Shane and Alina couldn't help but gulp, their mouths watering uncontrollably.Shane was furious. It was just a little harmless bullying back in school! Besides, hadn't Ray already gotten his revenge? He clenched his fists in frustration and
Ray put on a look of righteous resolve and shook his head. "Why would I tell you where they are? Paul, you sent Molly to prison, and you even threatened to do unspeakable things to Katie… I will never let you off!"As soon as the words left his mouth, he raised his gun and took aim.Paul let out a
Who was Shane Connell?He had been the class monitor back when Ray was in high school. His grades weren't anything special—he'd only gotten the position because his family was rich.After graduating, Shane went abroad to study.Later… years later, he posted an invitation in the old class group ch
