As Preston finished speaking, he lifted his chin proudly. The members outside the door also looked at the proprietress arrogantly.It couldn't be denied that their backgrounds were indeed impressive, especially since they mentioned Remus. Throughout Darsia, there would be no one willing to challenge them.However, the proprietress showed no signs of fear. Instead, her expression became increasingly stormy, colder than the earlier provocations from Colby and Michael, with a touch of irritation.She said in a deep voice, "I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight, or else, don't blame me for being rude!"The association's members were stunned. With everyone's combined backgrounds, the amassed power was already immense.How dare the proprietress speak to them so rudely? Was she stupid? Or was it because she came from the countryside and hadn't been exposed to the world?Preston quickly composed himself. He initially planned to use their backgrounds to make her cooperate

Everyone watched Remus walking forward. They felt as if this wasn't reality and couldn't even sense the passage of time, just staring in a daze.Remus finally reached the door and placed his hand on it. Though the door would open with just a gentle push, it felt as heavy as if it were made of solid gold. He wasn't sure how to muster the strength to open it.When he was in the air just now, he watched them shove their way toward the guesthouse. He also heard them shouting about the Thunderous God of War and finally saw the four Top Grandmaster warriors being thrown into the air.Others couldn't understand how the warriors were thrown into the air, but he could clearly see it was due to spiritual energy—a cultivator's spiritual energy!According to the stage conversion, the Top Grandmaster Stage was equal to the Energy Refinement Realm in the world of cultivation. Four Top Grandmaster warriors were equivalent to the Foundation Stage.If someone could easily defeat four Top Grandmast

Under Wilda's gaze, Remus walked step by step to the front desk, rounded it, and sat down on a stool behind the desk. He did nothing and just sat there quietly.One of his three important tasks was to find Wilda. Now that she'd been found, he could finally feel at ease. Just sitting there quietly and enjoying the moment felt really good.If Wilda never forgave him, then he'd just sit here and let time heal everything.Time slipped away second by second.Wilda noticed that he had no intention of leaving and slowly lowered her head. In a serious tone, she said, "Please leave immediately!"Opening a guesthouse at the foot of the mountain with a new identity was because she wanted to protect Monington.Other than that, her heart was lifeless, as if she needed to forget everything from the past and start anew. She wanted to live as an ordinary person who would experience all the usual emotions and desires.But she couldn't do any of that if Remus was here.Remus paused for a moment.

Remus walked out from behind the front desk, pushing the door open to step outside.Anthony knelt in the freezing snow, shirtless. His back was covered with thorn branches, and his skin was already bleeding from the pricks.The area around him had been cleared out, and a perimeter had been set up 300 feet away. There were people maintaining order at the front and a crowd of onlookers at the back.Remus' expression darkened. Anthony was clearly forcing him into a corner!"Mr. Cosby," Anthony spoke in a trembling voice as soon as he saw Remus, "it's my fault for not providing Preston with proper guidance. Please punish me as you see fit, and I will have no complaints."With that, he slammed his forehead heavily onto the ground.Remus looked at him with complicated emotions. He remembered the first time he saw Anthony at the airport. He had mistaken Remus as a VIP and was there to welcome him.Later, he realized Remus wasn't someone important at all and became arrogant. Eventually,

Hearing this, Wilda jolted suddenly, and anger returned to her expression that had only just begun to regain some calm."Home? Where is my home? Monington is where I was born and raised. Now that you've slaughtered everyone there, where else can I go?"Though she didn't shout, her words were spoken with a hoarse and exhausted voice, full of endless resentment."Monington may have raised you, but it has never been your home," Remus said slowly. "You are my fiancée and will be my wife in the future. Home is where I am. Come back to Centuria with me, back to the Cosby residence."Wilda turned her head to the side and, gritting her teeth, said, "There's no way we can be together—not now, not ever."That marriage contract doesn't count because I never agreed to it. Just leave. From now on, don't ever show up in my world again. Let's never see each other again!"These were her genuine thoughts. No matter how he tried to put it, the fact remained that he massacred Monington, and she cou
