Chapter 100: Invisible Girl
It was a happy night for Ray, surrounded by beauties in his embrace. He slept peacefully, the sweet moans filling the air, adding to his contentment. Though he wasn't very successful in spreading his genes, Ray still enjoyed the time immensely.
However, the same couldn't be said for others, as screams echoed throughout the silent night.
The forty people who tried to flee were mercilessly beaten by the undead and humans.
The undead, with their unlimited stamina and strength, made quick work of these normal people, some of whom were low-class Awakeners.
Kikyo watched from the sky, disabling the Awakeners enough to immobilise them before Ray cancelled the summon.
Even with more than a thousand units of Mutation Energy, maintaining her presence was still a challenge for Ray.
The screams of the beaten fugitives echoed through the camp, waking up nearly everyone. People rushed outside, only to witness a horrifying scene: monsters, shrouded in darkness, mercilessly beating forty of their own.
"Should we help?" one person hesitantly asked.
"Idiot, look closer. Do they look familiar?" another responded.
"Eh, they do... aren't they the ones in those photos on the internet?"
"Whose photos?"
"Ray's."
"And who's the boss of this camp?"
"Ray!" The man's eyes widened in horror as he quickly retracted his hand which was about to make some movement to help them.
"Let's just mind our own business and go back to sleep, okay? Air plugs in?"
"Okay." The two hurriedly left, and the rest of the onlookers followed suit, disappearing faster than they had arrived.
"Woah..." Rex muttered, watching the scene unfold from an upper building. His face reflected a mix of horror and terror as he took in the brutal display below.
"Ray is really ruthless and decisive. I better not try to offend him in the future and curry as much favour as possible," Rex thought to himself, still shaken by the events of the night.
The night passed without further incident, though the unfortunate forty continued to be beaten by the relentless undead, their pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears.
As the first warm rays of the sun broke through, Ray stepped out of his room with a satisfied expression, heading straight for a cup of warm tea. He gently swirled the cup, inhaling the fragrant aroma.
"Why do you girls have dark circles?" Ray asked, noticing the tired eyes of his women as they emerged, his tone curious as he sipped his tea contentedly.
"Why do we have dark circles?" Freya pouted, brushing past him as she began preparing omelettes, ignoring his question.
"Hmm?" Ray raised an eyebrow, puzzled by their mood. He looked at the other girls, who also pouted, and then his eyes fell on Yuna.
"My Yuna will tell me, right?" He walked up to her and gently cuddled with her.
"Umm… eh…," Yuna was stunned on the spot.
"Don't tell this bastard, Yuna, or you'll be betraying us as friends," Vanessa said with a stern expression.
Yuna became even more flustered, torn between her two sides, leaving her utterly confused.
"Looks like Yuna has started to hide things from me." Ray made a sad expression, as if he were extremely depressed.
"No… no… we were listening to the moans all night because of this we had dark circles," Yuna hurriedly confessed.
"Damn it, Yuna, you're really too innocent," Vanessa cursed. "How did you sell us out so easily?"
"Haha, don't listen to her, my Yuna is the best," Ray laughed, giving Yuna a gentle smile.
"This bastard hates the old but loves the new," Vanessa muttered, rolling her eyes, her thoughts brimming with jealousy.
Even the other women shot side glances filled with envy.
"Let's eat breakfast," Ray said, releasing Yuna and taking a seat at the table with a smile.
He was well aware of the envious gazes from the women but chose to ignore them all.
"This lustful bastard is avoiding the topic now," Vanessa grumbled internally as she took her seat.
They soon began their hearty breakfast. Ray, of course, avoided the green pill—its name alone felt strange, and regular food was far more appealing to his taste buds.
"Let's get those two," Ray mumbled to himself as he walked out of the room, entering a darker, more depleted space.
"Hey, you guys alright?" he asked as he approached them. The moment they saw him, the two immediately trembled and kowtowed before Ray.
"Master!" they exclaimed in unison.
Ray walked up to them and gently lifted their chins. "Looks like you've learned to become more obedient. You can eat your breakfast now."
"Really?" Violet and Natalia asked simultaneously, their tired expressions transforming into pure excitement.
"Yeah," Ray replied lightly and walked away, with the two of them following closely behind.
They didn't dare to walk upright but instead crawled on the ground, silently making their way to the kitchen.
"Here," Ray said casually, catching the breakfast and laying it on the ground.
The two girls immediately began eating with flushed faces. Natalia, with her hands bound by a tight chain, was forced to eat using only her mouth, while Violet, at least having her hands free, could eat with her hand at least.
The other girls glanced over but paid little attention to Violet and Natalia.
After all, both had a hand in the death of Aurora, who had been close to them. At most, they felt a little pity, but that was all.
After finishing her meal, Violet immediately went to Ray and began massaging his shoulders.
"Master, do you like it?" she asked tentatively.
"Not bad," Ray replied casually. "Let's go; we still need to travel to the base."
Violet trembled slightly but continued to massage him even as he stood up.
Ray stood at a staggering height of almost 190 cm, which is about six feet two inches.
His towering frame overshadowed her, and she could only reach his shoulder to give him a massage by putting her hand higher than her head which caused discomfort in her own shoulders.
But she didn't dare to stop.
After finishing her meal, Natalia didn't dare stay behind and hurriedly crawled forward, following him.
Just like that, they left their temporary settlement to head for the base.
"Boss, what should we do with these guys?" Greg asked, pointing at the wailing people who were still begging for mercy, their eyes filled with tears and dark circles, and a pungent smell in the air.
"Clean them up. They will be used as the lowest people in the Awakening Association base from now on." Ray never planned to spare a single one of them.
They were disloyal people with the wrong intentions anyway; even if they died, it didn't matter. Life was like grass in the apocalypse, easily cut down without mercy, and there was no one to stop it.
After returning, Ray planned to develop the Awakener Association city and fully establish an ecosystem.
If he could do this, then in this apocalyptic world, it might very well become the first stronghold.
"Boss, there seems to be leaked footage of us," Greg said, showing a video of Ray fighting the undead cat, Kikyo, and then making Kikyo his summon.
"Wait, what?" Ray narrowed his eyes. "Whoever did this must have been very close to me, but I never saw them."
Ray murmured as he immediately summoned his undead and began a thorough search of the entire place.
You have to know that because the surroundings were too dangerous, all these people didn't even dare to go near him when they were fighting.
Any random move could have ended someone's career.
Only after the fight was over did all the people come out.
But there was someone who could record all these things.
"It must be Awakeners, and not weak ones either," Ray thought to himself as he checked the entire area but couldn't find anyone, even with his Analyzer skill being used frequently.
"You can't find them here either?"
Greg shook his head.
Ray frowned. "We have delayed enough. Let's go back to the base."
He sighed and walked away, with Greg following behind.
Unbeknownst to them, right after they left, a blurry figure appeared, slowly taking a glass of water, drinking it with a big gulping sound, and then eating a red apple.
"I didn't expect Natalia to fall into his hands. The organisation sent a mission to me, but if I get caught…"
She paused in her tracks, well aware that she was no match for Ray even with her S-class skill. Her situation would be dire if she were caught.
"Abort the mission."
She muttered silently and slithered away.
"Hmm?" Ray paused in his tracks as he was leaving the area. "Did someone leave from here?"
"What happened, boss?" Greg asked.
"Nothing." Ray shook his head.
The invisible woman didn't realise that escaping the building was the right choice; otherwise, she would eventually have been found out by Ray.
"Oh well."
Ray sighed and they continued their journey, reaching the Awakener's base quite quickly after crossing the city.
