Chapter 35: The Beastified William Duville
Gu Ran temporarily ignored the female officer and instead assessed the man, who looked even stronger than a bear.
The moment the space portal opened, William Duville sensed something was off. He narrowed his eyes, staring at Gu Ran.
“Space ability user? Friend, I wonder if there’s anything I can help you with. I’m a member of the Duville family, and we Duville family love making friends the most.”
In light of the unknown origins of his visitor, William Duville refrained from making the first move and instead highlighted his family background.
In St. Yor City, aside from the pitiful creatures in the slums who only cared about filling their stomachs, everyone knew the Duville family.
Just the name alone was enough to make most powerful individuals cautious.
However, he also remained on guard, ready to activate his powers at any moment.
“Julia, what’s the background of this friend you brought?” William Duville casually turned to the direction of the female officer.
But soon, he caught a whiff of a faint odor of urine.
That was coming from the female officer.
Connecting the dots with the password vault she had visited, and the contents within, William Duville immediately confirmed that the visitor was an enemy, not a friend.
“Be able help me, would you? How fortunate! I just happen to have a task that requires your assistance.”
The voice of the boy echoed in William Duville’s ears.
“William Duville, I’d like to borrow your life.”
Immediately, a strong sense of crisis surged toward William Duville.
Roar!
In a split second, William Duville forcibly dodged Gu Ran’s spatial slash.
In the next moment, the previously handsome William Duville suddenly sprouted countless hairs, his face contorting as he transformed into a beast.
A towering bear, standing on two legs, appeared in the office.
This was William Duville’s beastification ability!
Unlike ordinary beastification users, William Duville had developed his ability to A-grade level, which brought him extraordinary enhancements across the board.
His strength, speed, defense, and physique all far surpassed human levels.
Regular bullets couldn’t even pierce his skin, and even potent poisons were mere amusements for him.
A single punch from him could easily smash through existing military-grade steel plates.
At the same time, his sense of danger had significantly improved.
Just now, he had used this ability to dodge Gu Ran’s spatial slash.
“Quite impressive indeed,” Gu Ran remarked, eyeing the bear that William Duville had become.
One couldn’t deny that, in terms of appearance, the giant bear version of William Duville exuded an intimidating presence.
With blood-red eyes, drooling fangs, claws sharp as blades, and bulging muscles, it was a fearsome sight.
…
Outside the screen.
“He really intends to kill William Duville. But not only is William a core member of the Duville family, but his strength is also formidable, having reached A-grade level, putting him at the same level. It won’t be as easy as killing B-grade ability user Kelly Duville.”
Someone shook their head and said, “Besides, there’s not just one A-grade ability user at the headquarters. If Gu Ran can’t kill William Duville quickly, he’ll soon find himself surrounded by several A-grade strongmen. It’ll be even harder to kill him then.”
While the earlier actions of Gu Ran had shocked them, Lin Fan actually felt happier, this was clearly a foolish move.
Look, the tyrant is about to fail and become a laughingstock!
Lin Fan smiled slightly, “But this headquarters isn’t equipped with space interference devices, so the tyrant can still escape if he wants, although it’s a shame his earlier bravado will fall flat.”
Cheng Youmeng glanced at them, a faint smile forming in her heart.
Compared to them, she understood Gu Ran better. From the moment she met him, she was captivated by his meticulous mind and extraordinary abilities.
She wouldn’t believe for a second that Gu Ran hadn’t considered the opponent’s strength.
“But how exactly will you turn the tide?”
She pondered, unable to think of an answer, and simply watched the screen quietly.
…
On the screen.
Next to the giant bear, Gu Ran appeared exceedingly small.
William Duville looked down at Gu Ran, baring his massive, blood-stained mouth and declared, “No matter who you are, you’re dead!”
Roar!
Though William Duville was enormous, he was incredibly agile.
He crouched low, charging at Gu Ran like a real bear, smashing everything in his path, including tables and decorations.
“You’re indeed an A-grade ability user, but—can you tear through space?” A spatial portal suddenly appeared before Gu Ran.
If William Duville maintained his current trajectory, he would crash right into the portal, unsure of where he’d end up.
William Duville’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly slowed his speed, executing an emergency brake.
After this brief encounter, William Duville realized that Gu Ran, possessing spatial abilities, was indeed difficult to deal with.
As long as he couldn’t outpace Gu Ran’s reaction, this trick with the spatial portal would pose a challenge for him.
If it were an S-grade ability user, however, Gu Ran’s maneuver wouldn’t work, as a full-force attack from them would directly tear through space and strike Gu Ran.
William Duville’s mind rapidly processed several thoughts before he halted and made a quick leap, crashing through the metal wall and escaping the office.
In an instant, alarms blared throughout the entire headquarters.
Immediately, all the powerful individuals at the headquarters rushed toward that direction.
Gu Ran, hearing the alarms, showed no concern.
“The fish have all gathered together. I can catch them all at once.”
He smiled.
