Cale shot toward his opponent, flying head-on like he intended to crash into him. Quickly recovering from his earlier daze, the burly man let out a loud shout at Cale as he swung his sword at him.“Is this how you want to prove my move is flawed… by charging straight at me? Eat my sword!”The burly fighter’s sword swung through the air without any resistance, aiming to cleave Cale into two from head to toe. But in the next moment, before his very eyes, Cale suddenly vanished, and without even time to blink, he appeared once again beside the burly fighter.What!The burly fighter was shocked. Cale’s speed was greater than before, making it so that the fighter could not even detect any signs of him moving at all. It was as if he had teleported from one spot to another in an instant.Before he could even process what had happened, the burly man felt a heavy hit on his body as Cale punched him directly on the exposed side of the burly man’s torso that was left open due to his wide swing.

Cale’s current location was an enclosed room located at the very end of a tunnel passage, like a vast antechamber hidden underground. The place was crawling with armed goons patrolling every inch of the place, with the very center of the chamber being arranged in a sophisticated manner with tables and chairs carrying exquisitely prepared food and drinks that suggested the arrival of guests was expected. There was only one person sitting at the head of the table enjoying a lustrous meal, and Cale’s eyes immediately zoomed in on this person. It was a tall man who was dressed in a simple gray suit that appeared drab in the incandescent lighting yet still managed to make him appear fashionable and elegant. With a straight back and humbly neutral face that only appeared expressive while he savored the meal in front of him, this man revealed a silent but commanding presence, making him stand out even more from the rest of the goons in the chamber. Without having to be told, Cale knew that

“Speaking of your fight, I have to say, I was very impressed,” the boss said.He continued, “Like I said, it was very spectacular, especially the last move you used to clinch your victory, which even till now I still cannot figure out. Can you tell me how you did it?”Hearing the boss’s request, Cale answered directly, explaining how he had won against the burly fighter.“I have the power to manipulate space. It grants me abilities like flight and teleportation. By integrating myself into the spatial membrane of the void, I can move freely without any restrictions from gravity and other physical elements of force, including inertia. During this, I can accelerate to nigh-infinite speeds, surpassing the speed of sound and approaching the speed of light.”“Of course, the strength of my body limits the amount of speed I can actually achieve, but you get the idea. The way I won is by simply ramming into my opponent like a cannonball at an incredibly high speed, which effectively knocked hi

Watching as Cale’s face turned ugly after realizing that he had completely fallen into their trap, the boss of the fight club immediately smiled and said to him with a mischievous grin, “What’s the matter, young man? Not so confident anymore? What do you think of my hospitality now… is it very much to your liking? I went through a lot of effort to get everything ready for you on time, of course with a little help from my associates, that is. If not for their help, I would never have gotten my hands on such technology as sophisticated as this. I have you to thank for that, so I’ll be sure to express my utmost gratitude to you while you are with me.” The boss of the fight club talked with a certain flourish, making it clear that he enjoyed being dramatic. But Cale completely ignored him as his mind spun, coming up with countermeasures to deal with the situation. With the spatial lock, Cale could not call any of his men to back him up, leaving him completely stranded in enemy territor

“Who turned off the lights? Get them back on now!”As soon as the lights went off in the chamber, the boss’s urgent shout immediately sounded as he cautiously ordered the lights to be turned back on. There was a shuffle of unease within the darkness as the goons moved their feet, trying to see in the dark to spot where the targets were.Thud!Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of something hitting the ground, followed by another, and another occurring in quick succession of each other.The sounds came and went in less than a second, but nobody knew what was causing them, leaving only their imaginations to conjure an explanation for the sudden occurrence.Beginning to panic slightly, the boss—his body flanked by two individuals wearing power armor suits that had suddenly appeared after the lights went out—retreated slightly more into their defensive area while calling out with increasing urgency.“Lights, somebody turn on the lights, damn it! I need to know what the hell is going on,
