Ray nodded. "The first step in dating is being honest with each other." He paused before adding, "Take off your clothes.""Huh?"Scarlett had wanted nothing more than to establish a relationship with Ray that very day and secure her position as Steve's wife. Naturally, she didn't mind sleeping with him, and she had already prepared an excuse in advance—that because she exercised regularly, there wouldn't be any blood.But what kind of man asked someone to strip the moment they met?Anyone who could say something like that—what decent person could he possibly be?And after sleeping with her, could she really expect him to take responsibility?Scarlett forced out an awkward smile. "Steve, you really know how to joke around.""Oh? But I'm not joking." Ray grinned. "Come on, hurry up. I've never played with such a pretty girl before."'Is this guy insane?'Scarlett shuddered in fright and quickly said, "Steve, I suddenly remembered I still have something to do. I should get going

Ray was powerful. Terrifyingly powerful.Thankfully, something had happened in the north, so no one had been sent after Ray. Otherwise, they would've been completely wiped out—and might even have provoked this monster into retaliating."The day after I called you, something major happened in the north, around the Aegis Military Base," Venus began.Before Ray could show any impatience, she hurriedly continued in greater detail."A monster appeared in the north. A real monster—I'm not lying to you. It was over fifty meters tall. Even armor-piercing shells couldn't break its hide, and it could spew extremely low-temperature air currents from its mouth. Even ability users couldn't withstand it."The Aegis Military Base emptied its entire arsenal fighting it. Aside from nuclear weapons, they used every weapon they had available. Only then did they finally kill the creature."The four major military bases maintain communication with each other. According to the Aegis Military Base, the

A short while later, Teegar arrived in person."Mr. Robinson, we've lost contact with the Aegis Military Base. Based on the satellite images we obtained, we suspect an ultra-colossal monster attacked the area, forcing the Aegis Military Base to deploy nuclear weapons and perish together with the creature," the department supervisor reported.Teegar's expression darkened. After several seconds of silence, he finally asked, "Can this be confirmed?""More or less."Teegar slammed his fist downward."If this damned fog hadn't severely disrupted communications, then even if the Aegis Military Base had exhausted all its missiles, as long as they could've informed us in time, we could have launched our support strikes and helped them eliminate the monster."Everyone fell silent.At first, the fog had merely affected visibility. But later, it began interfering with communications as well, and the disruption only grew worse over time.That meant when the terrifying giant beast attacked

Ray laughed."You two really think you're qualified to question me?"Forget it. I know you've both got backbone, and I can't be bothered wasting words. I have no conflict with you. As long as you don't provoke me, I'm too lazy to make trouble for you either. We're all fellow countrymen, after all."Captain Ezra, I actually agree with your way of thinking. Right now is the time to expand humanity's territory and fight for survival. If you've got energy to spare, then go fight foreign enemies instead of wasting it on your own people."That's all."Don't come looking for me. I'd hate for you to suddenly decide to bomb me with missiles one day. So if I discover you searching for my whereabouts again… then I really won't hold back."Oh, and I'm interested in those giant beasts too. Find out where they came from as soon as possible. I'll come back after some time, and hopefully you'll already have answers."Goodbye."Ray waved casually and turned to leave.But after taking a single

"Mikkle, you speak Gohaven. Go ask him which Gohaven city we're in right now," one of the Jayzepanese men said.He was the leader—the powerhouse with seven thousand units of ability energy."Yes, sir."Another Jayzepanese man immediately straightened his hands against his thighs, bowed slightly, and answered respectfully.His name was Mikkle Pattinson. His strength wasn't impressive, only around three hundred units, but he was the only one among them who spoke Gohaven.He stepped forward a few paces and asked in awkward Gohaven, "Are you Gohaven?"'Oh? One who speaks Gohaven. That makes things easier,' Ray thought and smiled faintly but ignored him completely.Since when did the Jayzepanese get to question him?He casually walked forward a few more steps, ensuring every single one of them entered the range of his spatial domain.Perfect.Ray smiled."You people are really unlucky. You just arrived in Gohaven and already ran into me."Haha. But honestly, that's for the best.
