I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 70: Betrayal?

"You wouldn't think that this day would come, did you?" Elyon, a skinny man with glasses, looked at King with hatred.

"You bastard, did you betray me?" King stood up from the pile of debris with pure rage.

"When was I ever loyal to you, King?" Elyon tugged his glasses back, staring deeply at King.

"You…"

King almost erupted in rage, but when he felt all the mutation energy in his body drained away, needing at least a day to recover, he calmed down again. He needed to calm down.

Taking a deep breath, King stared at Elyon venomously. "Even if I am injured, do you think you can beat me?"

"King, King," Elyon chuckled. "I have been waiting for this moment ever since my girlfriend betrayed me to follow you, only to be killed by you. Do you think I haven't come prepared?"

"Huh, what are you saying?" King strained his ears to try to catch the voice, but all he could hear was a small, indistinguishable whisper.

"You also became deaf from fighting with Ray?" Elyon's smile brightened, his entire face radiant.

Even though King couldn't hear what Elyon said, seeing the smug smile and feeling the resentment he had built up from Ray's beating, he wanted an outlet. This Elyon guy was the perfect target.

King stood up and started walking toward him with anger.

"I am not alone, King." Elyon looked coldly as King approached.

A light flashed in King's eyes, and the next moment he found himself pierced with countless swords made of light.

"This." King widened his eyes with uncontrollable fear.

…

Ray casually wiped off the blood stains on his hand.

"Is everything settled now, Seraphine?"

"Yes, it should be with your strength. It's basically impossible for anyone to escape." Seraphine spoke in her usual cold tone.

"One person still escaped," he chuckled.

"Who?" Seraphine's expression slightly changed.

"I don't know his name, but he was skinny and wore round glasses."

"Skinny and wore glasses?" Seraphine recalled her memory. "You're right, there was such a person before. He escaped? Should we pursue him?"

"His name should be Elyon."

"No."

Ray shook his head. "Looks like the poor guy was forced to come under King's command, so it's fine. We need to chase after King now."

"King? Isn't he dead?" Seraphine looked at the splattered remains of King with a questioning look.

She wasn't afraid to see such a scene any longer, but to her utter puzzlement, it started to decay and vanish in just a moment.

"No, that was his clone. I previously had killed him, but that was his clone. Just as he was about to die, he must have used his clones again," Ray said lightly.

Hearing this, Seraphine's face turned livid.

"He is still alive!?"

"It's fine. He's already a bereaved dog, and he should be deaf by now," Ray said with a sneer.

Still, Ray couldn't help but feel a headache. Truly, an S-class skill was terrifying; if it advanced again, he didn't know how formidable it would become.

Ray shot forward, with Seraphine following closely behind.

"Where are you going, Ray?" Gina was the first to shout, her scowl deepening.

"I'm going to take care of King. He used a clone to escape again," Ray shouted back, turning around and leaving with Seraphine.

Gina's face darkened, her eyes bloodshot with frustration. "That bastard still hasn't died."

"And Ray left with that girl," she pouted, her irritation evident.

"Why do you sound so jealous?" Melissa, who was standing nearby, asked with a teasing smile.

"Are you really happy with Ray getting more girls?" Gina shot back, her tone sharp.

"I'm not his woman anyway. Why would I care?" Melissa retorted almost immediately.

"I can see why Ray always calls you 'Red Cat,'" Gina muttered under her breath.

"Answer my question first," Gina demanded.

"No," Melissa shook her head decisively.

"Yeah, but if Ray only dealt with one of us, then our bodies…"

The two women shuddered simultaneously.

Ray's stamina was monstrous, and his strong physique made handling him alone nearly impossible even when he got tagged team by the girls, he still comes out on top.

"Forget it," Gina sighed, and Melissa nodded in agreement.

Two shadows moved swiftly through the devastated landscape, weaving through destroyed roads and trees.

Suddenly, one of the shadows stopped.

"What is it, Ray?" Seraphine frowned as she also halted.

"You're too slow," Ray said bluntly.

"Then what should I do?" Seraphine's tone was cold, but there was a hint of frustration. Her speed wasn't bad, and her physique had been somewhat enhanced by her Awakening.

However, compared to Ray, who could be considered a monster, her speed felt like that of a child.

"I can carry you then."

"You…"

"Hurry up, King will get away otherwise."

"Fine." Seraphine gritted her teeth. "This bastard just wants to take advantage of the situation."

"You think too much. I have plenty of women," Ray said with a straight face as he lifted her.

He had to admit that her body was incredibly soft, almost as if it were sinking into his hand. Every brush against his skin was pronounced.

"Tell me you're not taking advantage of me now," Seraphine said coldly.

"This is just the fee you need to pay for a free ride."

Ray gave her a proud look. "I'm a good driver."

For a moment, Seraphine was rendered speechless.

"Haven't you heard those noises at night? I know you listen," Ray whispered softly in her ear. "I can drive anything."

Seraphine gulped nervously, her eyes locked on Ray "He knew," she was shocked in her heart but still maintained her cold expression.

"Haha."

Ray chuckled as he sped up with Seraphine in tow.

"How are you even going to find him?" Seraphine shouted over the wind hitting her face.

"My eyes; nothing can escape them."

Ray glanced at the ground, and numerous pieces of data appeared before his eyes.

"I don't believe you."

"I'm really not lying," Ray said, shaking his head helplessly.

His expression then became slightly serious. "We're near him."
