Chapter 157: Ray confrontation with the Seer (1)
"Let's just use my summons from the shadow realm; even if they get scared, it doesn't matter; they need to adapt to my summons if they want to live in my city anyway."
Ray casually shrugged; his summons were always surrounded by eerie darkness, although this thing doesn't even affect him now, but for normal people, the effects were still a little terrifying even if his summons restrained themselves.
Fear can cause people to act irrationally; that is also why Ray has restrained himself from using it in these check-ups.
"Welp."
Ray casually shrugged as he jumped from the wall.
"Eh, what is that?"
"Someone is jumping from the wall."
"What?"
Everyone in the ground was shocked as they looked up to see the figure of Ray landing lightly in the ground.
There was almost no sound if everyone's eyes weren't focused on him, then Ray could even effortlessly blend in.
"Mast... Master Ray."
The guards there immediately saluted Ray with a tentative expression while Ray himself casually nodded before his crimson pupils drifted off to a long black vehicle in the distance.
It stood out from the crowd the most.
As for the people in the crowd, no one made any noise with nervousness in the air.
"Is he supposed to be a higher up in the city?"
"It will be trouble if we offend him, right?"
As they were talking, one of them distinctly remembered the words of the guards, and their eyes immediately widened to the limit in realisation.
He almost instinctively shouted, "He is Ray, the master of this city."
Before he tightly shut his mouth again with an embarrassed expression.
The crowd went even more silent; there were initially some murmurs, but even that seemed to disappear.
In the bright light of the day, nobody spoke, and Ray's gaze was only on a particular spot.
Many people followed it to see the large limo in the last line.
"There is something off about this car."
Ray muttered in his heart; he was after all a celestial being already, and his senses were simply too terrifying and powerful.
He could already feel the presence that was at least comparable to S-class Awakener, and there were more than one or two—a whole group of them.
Ray didn't bother to count the S-class Awakener; they were too weak in his eyes, but there was a weak presence mixed in as well. but this weak presence was very weird...
"It's hiding something terrifying."
He squinted his eyes with his lips curled up.
From the black limo, he heard a cold female tone: "Run." in a very low voice, then the limo turned back decisively and ran at full speed without a single sigh of stopping.
"Interesting."
Ray walked forward, his eyes flashing with avarice as he chased after the car.
This luxurious-looking limousine shouldn't have given Ray too much trouble to catch up to it, but for some reason it ran fast—too fast for a car.
Even a place wouldn't have taken such a distance so quickly.
But this only raised the interest in Ray's heart as he shot forward in one go.
The surroundings turned blurry as a car moved at a terrifying speed, but what was more terrifying was the human in the sky, which was closing the distance by every second.
"He is going to catch up, Seer."
Clint said with nervousness.
"I can tell." She spoke as she stepped on the accelerator to the limit, but it was no use at all; no matter how fast they were, they couldn't seem to shake off Ray at all.
"Damn it, this is a car that was given to me by that being, so why can't I shake off this mere person?"
She was calm on the outside, but her heart rate shot up through the roof.
Strangely in her rear mirror, Ray did catch up to them, but just at the moment he seemed to have paused before lagging behind and out of their vision quickly.
"Sigh." She heaved a sigh of relief, but she didn't slow down at all. "He must have been pushing himself to keep up."
However, strangely, she found that there was no noise surrounding her; the entire car seemed to have gone silent.
Even her two guards have disappeared.
"Something is wrong."
She thought in her heart with a trembling body as she stopped the car.
Swish!
The Seer got out of the car only to find herself in the middle of a wasteland where there were other S-class Awakeners with a bitter expression, even though her two guards were there, silent.
But her pupils were only on one bulky man that was sitting on the ground, seemingly humming with a smile on his face.
"So you are the Seer, the one who can see the future?"
Ray spoke with a chuckle while looking her up and down with a judging gaze: "You don't look like much; I thought you would have a six-pack and would be a bulky woman instead. Instead, you seem like a fragile woman."
"What did you say?"
She spoke light; her pupils focused on Ray intently for a long time.
Ray didn't move, just amusingly looking at her.
"When did you catch up and make it?"
"Your car actually ran just for a second before I used my telekinesis to stop the car and took your companion out, as for you, I wanted to watch a good show after all."
Ray closed his eyes and complacently spoke.
"Attack." She took out a gun and shot it towards him.
"It's rude to interrupt me." Ray caught the bullet as it seemed to explode, but at the last minute it contained itself.
"Interesting exploding bullet?"
"How were you not affected by my debuff at all?" She spoke with sheer shock; her calm facade disappeared, replaced by sheer astonishment.
"Impossible, this can only happen if you are no longer an ordinary being and something higher."
Her body trembled as if the realisation had finally kicked in.
