Centuria's Vitalis Villa was crowded with guests, packed to the brim with people.There were magnates from Darsia's business sector, high-ranking officials from the military and the Cabinet, and other prominent figures from across Darsia. Moreover, the gathering attracted business moguls, representatives of various families, and members of royal families from around the globe."The wealthiest man in Darsia presented a jade sculpture depicting 1000 horses in full gallop, valued at 180 million!""A member of the Gleudor royal family gifted a golden scepter, worth 330 million!""The Cabinet contributed a set of calligraphy scrolls titled 'A Bright Future,' deemed priceless!"The announcements at the entrance came one after another. A rough calculation suggested that the gifts Joe received that day were worth at least 20 billion. It was even comparable to the assets of the richest person in a province in Darsia.They were all merely gifts he received that showcased his astounding inf

Noticing their anxious faces, Remus paused. His displeasure was evident, as he glanced back at them. His anger was palpable, directed not only at Joe, who had unexpectedly emerged claiming to be his half-brother, but also at them.Despite knowing his aversion to Joe, they had still come to back him up, bringing the entire Cosby Family with them.What were they thinking?The four women saw Remus' gaze and felt a bit guilty. Quickly, they walked down from the stage and ran to Remus' side.Kylie spoke first, "Remus, don't act impulsively. Listen to our explanation."Jean also looked troubled. "This matter is very complicated, we...""Let's talk over there!" Miranda gently tugged at Remus's arm, her eyes blinking, filled with a plea.Seeing the look in the four women's eyes, Remus managed to suppress his anger and walked with them to the outskirts of the crowd. The venue remained eerily silent, with the guests not daring to make any sudden movements."Everyone, please don't be ne

Joe's anger made his heart race.He had always thought that everything Remus had achieved until then was gained with sheer brute strength, and he never expected Remus to be so sharp and quick-witted.Since he was caught between a rock and a hard place, he decided not to advance or retreat. He tried to change the subject.Smiling, he said, "My brother, today..."But Remus didn't give him the chance, asking bluntly, "I'm asking you, do you agree or not? Anything else can be discussed later. Just tell me, do you agree or disagree?" The smile on Joe's face froze instantly.Remus didn't leave any room for maneuver at all.Looking at the people below the stage, he found that none of them intended to speak up.He turned his gaze slowly toward Gemma. At such a time, someone else needed to speak up, and she was the most suitable candidate.Understanding the situation, Gemma had already allied herself with Joe. His success was her success, and his leverage was her leverage.She spok

The scene fell deadly silent for a moment.Everyone was stunned.What was Remus doing?He said a few words and then left? That didn't seem to fit the character of the Eternal Pillar of Darsia."Argh!"It was Gemma who broke the silence first, furious to the point of madness. Others might not be sure, but she was certain. Remus had really left. She roared, "Look, everyone, look! Remus Cosby is a man who lacks integrity, a coward who retreats from conflict, a weakling! He treats his promises like they're nothing, he actually fled..."Before she could finish her sentence, a voice rang out."Shut your mouth!" The command did not come from Goetz. Instead, it was from an elder who stepped out from the crowd. He was trembling all over. With a look of awe in his eyes as if he had seen a deity, he suddenly knelt on the ground, shaking.He said, "You have no idea what has just happened! Mr. Cosby said he would grant you an auspicious moment, and he truly did grant you one! And it

Remus sat on the main seat in the Cosby family's main hall.Kylie and Jean sat on his left side, while Gabriella and Miranda sat on his right. Outside the main hall stood hundreds of Cosby family members.Everyone was trembling with fear, cautiously eyeing Remus. Although he had spoken reasonably and even smiled during his time at the villa, it was clear to everyone that he was angry.They remained silent to avoid provoking him further.Remus glanced at the four women from the corner of his eye. Seeing their frightened appearances, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Their nervous expressions were too amusing.The four women and the hundreds of Cosby family members outside were all surprised. Why was Remus laughing?Remus gestured for the Cosby family members outside to leave, then chuckled, "Don't worry, I was just momentarily upset. I'm not a fool, and I understand you took the Cosby family members there for the sake of my reputation. I don't blame you all." He
