Chapter 240
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 cold laugh. His body shifted, and he lunged straight at Ray, fast–like lightning
To an ordinary person, he truly looked like a flash of lightning. By the time the nerves even registered what was happening, he had already closed the distance and arrived right in front of his target.
But setting aside the fact that Ray’s body had already been enhanced four times–his eyesight and neural response far surpassing that of normal people–even without those enhancements, he still had spatial perception.
The instant Paul moved, his trajectory appeared clearly in Ray’s mind. Clear–almost like slow motion.
Because no matter how fast you are, can you really outrun a thought?
At this moment, Paul’s speed was only around the speed of sound, even slower than that mutated husky. There was no way he could escape Ray’s spatial perception.
Suddenly, Paul’s body appeared to freeze, coming to an abrupt halt three meters in front of Ray.
The scene was bizarre. To anyone watching, it looked as if Paul had teleported–one moment he was here, and in the next, he was in a completely different position.
But the strangeness didn’t stop there.
Ray knew that ability users possessed an instinctive danger sense. He had never expected Paul to blindly charge straight into the spatial portal and die so easily. On the contrary, everything he said and did had been designed to lure Paul into attacking–specifically to create this moment of sudden deceleration.
From a full–speed charge to an abrupt stop–how long would it take to accelerate again?
Faster than a bullet?
Ray released dozens of bullets.
Paul truly lived up to his status as an ability user. Even though the bullets were traveling at supersonic speed–far too fast for ordinary people to perceive–he was different. He saw them. Not only did he see them, he actually managed to react.
He raised both arms in front of himself, shielding his face and chest–his vital points–while simultaneously curling his body inward.
This protected his lower abdomen and groin, and more importantly, allowed his legs to coil with strength so he could erupt into high speed again in the next instant.
Ray smiled faintly. Everything was unfolding exactly as he had predicted.
Then, dozens of steel bars and more than ten chunks of stone followed, launching forward. That was only the first wave. The second and third waves were composed entirely of kinetic steel bars.
How large was the spatial portal now? Twenty–five by twenty–five meters. That meant the attack coverage was
enormous.
The bullets struck Paul’s arms. Only a handful actually penetrated, and even then, not very deeply—they failed to

reach the bone. The bullets dropped to the floor with crisp, metallic sounds.
But that was merely a smokescreen.
Before Paul could counterattack, the kinetic steel bars arrived.
Now that was deadly. A kinetic steel bar might not match a bullet in speed, but how much did a single rod weigh? Its destructive power was something a bullet could never compare to.
And it wasn’t just one. They came in an unending stream.
