Seeing that the Robe of Law was in front of him, Wood knew that his risky return became a failure.

But he didn’t want to give up.

As an ace spy, he had encountered countless dangers throughout his life. The current situation was far from “desperation.”

As expected, it didn’t take long before the opportunity came.

No one knew what the director was thinking, but he actually came here, too. Moreover, this guy actually went directly to Wood. The distance between them was shorter than 20 steps.

This distance was easily within Wood’s reach!

As a high-level paladin, he was best at mid-range attacks. At such a distance, he could use two steps at most to rush to the director’s face. According to the speed of his attack, two steps were equal to the time it took to blink once.

How long did it take to blink? Few people calculated it because it was too short.

Wood used to think so, but this time, he felt that a blink was still too long.

If the time could be shorter, it would be better!

In a flash, Wood rushed to the face of the intelligence director, and he pulled out his sword at his waist.

Of course, he didn’t rush over to talk to the director. He didn’t want to negotiate. He wanted to do only one thing.

Kill!

The reason why he wanted to kill the intelligence director was due to personal resentment, but that was secondary. The main reason was that he believed this person shouldn’t live in this world anymore.

This person framed an ace spy of the federation because of envy. No matter how noble his identity was, he was only suitable for being an unimportant official. He was not suitable for being a director in a key department.

However, this guy was now a director, and he was in one of the most important departments of the federation—the Intelligence Department.

To make matters worse, this guy had been an intelligence director for more than a decade.

That was a very serious mistake! Wood decided to correct it.

This might be the last thing he did for the federation, so he wanted to do it well without any mistakes. For so many years, he had rarely made mistakes in his tasks. He didn’t want to discredit his glorious resume at the last moment.

So he wanted to be faster so that no one could react. The intelligence director would have no time to resist or escape because of his fast speed. That would be good!

Wood did his best. It was the first time since he stepped into the high level. He was a little surprised to find that his pace was faster than that in the past, and his sword was faster, too. The improvement was not obvious, but he was already very fast. On that basis, even if he was only a little faster, it would be a huge improvement.

Just like in the 100-meter race on earth, professional athletes could finish it in 11.5 seconds, national athletes in 11 seconds, world-class athletes in 10.5 seconds, and Olympic final players in ten seconds. As for 9.5 seconds—at least before Sui Xiong space-traveled here, no one on earth could be that fast.

One hundred meters, from 11.5 seconds to 9.5 seconds—the gap was just two seconds. The distance of 20 steps was as long as 15 meters on earth, less than 1/6 of 100 meters.

Suppose that there was a person who was the champion of all the physical competition events on earth. He achieved a world record that no one could break. At this distance, his rushing speed was a little faster than in the past. What did that mean?

There was a phrase that was very suitable in describing that—as fast as lightning.

At least for the intelligence director, Wood was really as fast as lightning.
