From Dolmein to Lucy's shelter, the straight-line distance was only 167 kilometers. To reach Guillory City, it would still be over a hundred kilometers.Ray did the math. If he ran at full speed, he estimated he could reach Lucy within an hour. Perhaps a little longer—after all, he had never traveled such long distances before and couldn't be entirely sure.First, he was capable of it. Second, Lucy was the first woman he had been interested in; there were certain… special feelings involved. It wasn't that he absolutely had to go to her, but since she had specifically asked for help, he didn't mind making the trip.Adding two more bowls at the dinner table was hardly a big deal.Ray stepped out of the manor. After confirming his direction, he began to run.With the reinforcement of more than seven thousand units of supernatural enhancement, just how terrifying had his speed become?Whoosh—he shot forward, faster even than a top-tier sports car.At this rate, he could definitely r

Lucy couldn't help but feel startled.That was right.Ray was in Senna City, while she was in Tanzan City. The straight-line distance between them was nearly two hundred kilometers. It had been barely an hour since their phone call—and he had already found her?Was that even possible?How could it be?Even if he had taken a plane, the road signs were buried under heavy snow. How could he have found his way here? This was mountainous terrain. With the blizzard, not only was travel difficult, but visibility was also poor. Even a military unit would likely struggle to locate this place so quickly."Could those people be impersonating him?" Lucy blurted out, then immediately shook her head. "That's impossible. Even you don't know what Ray looks like—how could they?"For anyone to impersonate him, they would first need to know his appearance. That was basic logic.Lindsay fell into thought. After a few seconds, she said, "What if Ray has been lying to you all along? Maybe he's actua

Ray extended his right hand, his expression calm, his demeanor effortlessly cool.A terrifying scene unfolded. Every bullet halted in midair before him, as if time itself had frozen. It resembled the climactic moment at the end of The Matrix, when Neo became the savior—raising a hand to stop the bullets as though the flow of time had been suspended.Spatial domain.Ray smiled faintly and reached out to pinch one of the bullets between his fingers. Tilting his head slightly, he let the rest fall to the ground all at once.In truth, he didn't need to make any gestures at all. But it looked cooler this way.The remaining fifteen men felt as though the tops of their skulls had been torn off. They trembled uncontrollably.How could they possibly match an enemy like this?Ray toyed with the bullet in his hand, then flicked his finger.Whoosh.The projectile shot forward. With a sickening thud, it pierced straight through one man's forehead. Before collapsing, the victim cast Ray a d

Ray burst out laughing. "Sorry, sorry. It's my first time using this ability for surgery—I'm not very skilled yet. Please bear with me."It was clearly meant as a joke, but none of the fifteen men found it amusing.The silence was painfully awkward.Ray walked over and reattached the severed arms. Within his spatial domain, he was like a god. The moment he willed it, the wounds healed—without a single drop of blood spilling."See? All better now," Ray said with a grin.He withdrew the domain, yet still no blood flowed.Everyone stared at him in stunned disbelief, feeling as though he was no different from a divine being.Everyone except one.The man whose arms had just been reattached wore a miserable expression. In a trembling voice, he said, "S-Sir… you attached my arms backward."Huh? Oh.Ray took a closer look. Sure enough, the man was right. No wonder something had felt off.Well, it was his first time performing this kind of procedure. Making a mistake was perfectly no

Igor and the remaining four didn't even have the courage to flee. With their heads lowered in defeat, they followed Ray into the villa.Still, Igor clung to a faint hope.Ray knew Alexander.He understood exactly how powerful Alexander was. Though he looked down on the people of Gohaven with utter disdain, Alexander was the exception—so formidable that even he could only tremble in his presence. As long as he revealed his identity, Ray would surely spare him out of respect for Alexander.After all, once someone had witnessed Alexander's strength, who would dare offend him?Ray walked inside and casually took a seat on the sofa."What's your relationship with Alexander?" he asked.He had initially assumed Igor was Alexander's father-in-law, but the man's age clearly didn't match.Igor answered immediately, "Alexander is my brother-in-law. My younger sister is Vera Whitmore."Heh. Alexander had never mentioned having an older brother-in-law."Where did you come from?" Ray asked
