The three individuals froze, never expecting such an unexpected and awkward moment.Gabriela turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with panic.Remus quickly looked over, fervently wishing he could vanish at that moment.Miranda's gaze shifted between the two before settling on the position of Gabriela's hands. Her face turned a deep shade of red as she bit her lip and said, "Why haven't you rested yet? Are you still thinking of doing something perverted even though you're hurt all over?"After speaking, she turned to leave, wanting to escape the awkward atmosphere."Wait!" Gabriela quickly spoke up, her embarrassment evident as she explained, "It's not what you're thinking. Remus is injured, and I'm applying medicine to him. There's nothing else happening here!"As the famed War Goddess of Darsia, Gabriela knew the importance of offering clarifications, as any misunderstandings could potentially tarnish her image.Miranda stopped in her tracks, convinced that Gabriela was appl
Remus quickly grabbed the blanket to cover himself and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why did you come in?"This was the family master's bedroom, and even though the Cosby family was under the management of her and Abe at the time, they didn't have permission to enter.Alicia's heart pounded heavily against her chest, and she uncontrollably recalled everything she just saw, her voice becoming shaky.She looked down and said, "Reporting to the master, Ms. Valentine and Ms. Bowen were called away for a meeting. Before they left, they asked me to check on you periodically. If you woke up, I was to inform them immediately."Since yesterday, they had been bombarded with visit requests from more than a dozen countries, prompting the need to coordinate schedules and ensure the safety of their trips carefully.Remus nodded in understanding, realizing the reason they weren't waiting by his side.He said, "Fine, help me get some water for a bath.""Alright!" Alicia quickly walked ou
Alicia wore a pitiful look, appearing as if she was about to cry.A buzzing sound echoed in Remus' head, and it felt as if all his blood had rushed to his brain in an instant.While he genuinely lacked any interest in Alicia, he couldn't deny his human nature as a man, and her undeniable allure was hard to ignore. Being so close, he could even hear her heartbeat.Seeing his hesitation, Alicia quickly knelt beside the bathtub, looking up and saying, "I promise not to do anything else, I'll just scrub your back. Master Cosby, there's also a secret I've never told you. "Although I've been married into the Cosby family for so many years and am no longer a pure woman, it was only after seeing you and Ms. Cox enjoyed yourselves for three hours in the room that day, that I realized there are many things I have yet to experience!""What?" Remus maintained his composure, scoffing coldly. Her first statement was about just scrubbing his back, but her next revealed her true intentions.She
Remus felt murderous intent growing stronger from both Gabriela and Miranda.Unable to bear the pressure any longer, he spoke earnestly, "I have no interest in her. If you had arrived just a second later, I would have pushed her out, trust me!""Haha!" Both women scoffed simultaneously.Gabriela mocked, "Oh, really? You wouldn't seize the chance when it comes knocking on your door? You'd let such an opportunity slip away so easily?"Miranda spoke icily, "Alicia looks elegant and has a nice figure. Don't you want to give it a try? Conveniently, she's a widow, aren't all you men into that sort of thing?"Their voices weren't loud, but with every word they spoke, Remus became increasingly uncomfortable.Remus forced a smile and replied, "You guys really don't understand me. I'm not someone who takes an interest in just anyone. I genuinely have no feelings for her, I swear. If I had any thoughts ... I would—""Forget it!" Both women spoke simultaneously, exchanging resentful glances
Gabriela and Miranda's voices were as loud as a thunderstorm, brimming with killing intent.Remus had already gotten out of the bathtub and was sitting on the bed, fiddling with a hairpin.The hairpin was entirely green, evidently belonging to another woman."Uh ..." Seeing their expressions, Remus felt his pores explode with sweat.Despite the influence he held in the world, he couldn't contend with them, as he couldn't resolve the situation by physically confronting each of them.Gabriela asked angrily, "Whose hairpin is that? Which shameless woman? Huh?"Miranda pointed at Remus and thundered, "If you don't explain this immediately, I'll kill you right now!"They felt foolish for having yielded to each other earlier, realizing that Remus was enjoying himself with other women outside and even receiving tokens of affection from them.Remus felt tense all over. The hairpin belonged to Husan, so he couldn't offer an explanation because he and Husan were indeed in a relationship.
"To compensate for my regret, I'll first go to the Tanjen Organization to fetch Glinda and bring her back to the Imperial Villa with me. With Kylie and Jean already there, that will make three women. That should be alright," he whispered to himself.Remus swiftly extended his divine consciousness, and Ruby appeared soon seemingly out of nowhere.Remus sat on Ruby and spoke faintly, "To the Tanjen Organization."…At that moment, the open courtyard of the Tanjen Organization was bustling with a dense crowd, all gathered to request pills.Initially, both the Tanjen Organization and Medicine Valley Organization stood side by side. However, Remus' actions resulted in the complete destruction of the Medicine Valley Organization's disciples, alchemists, and even their deputy master. The devastating blow significantly weakened them, causing people to shift their loyalty to the Tanjen Organization. As a result, many now turned to the Tanjen Organization for their pill refinement needs.
Upon hearing Oden's words, the courtyard immediately stirred with agitation once more. While his words were harsh, they also held a painful truth. The Tanjen Organization's uncertainty regarding Remus' return meant that asking everyone to keep waiting was indeed a waste of their time.Glinda quickly said, "Of course not, he is just—"Oden interrupted once more, asserting, "No need for explanations! Explanations are merely attempts to conceal the truth! Moreover, after making everyone wait for so many days, they can't continue to wait in vain!"These people initially risked their lives to support Master Calsberg, only for him to be hiding away from everyone. It's truly disheartening, haha!"His laughter was extremely grating, and the people behind him again echoed in agreement."That's right, we risked our lives to help him, and now he ignores us!""This is really upsetting!""Master Calsberg is a well-respected figure, and such actions will tarnish his reputation!"Henry was
"If Master Calsberg doesn't return tomorrow, you'll have to offer your apologies and bow twice, and so forth! And remember the most crucial point! If Tanjen agrees, you must uphold your promise without wavering, don't be a coward, haha!" Oden chuckled.As soon as he uttered those words, uproar erupted among the crowd.The conditions seemed excessively harsh. With each passing day of waiting, they would now have to provide ten Energy Replenishing Pills as compensation. It was becoming too much to bear.Forcing Glinda to bow and apologize every day was evidently exploiting Master Calsberg's absence to intimidate the Tanjen Organization unjustly.The final point may have appeared insignificant, but in reality, it was a devastating blow, as it constituted a direct insult to the Tanjen Organization.Henry could no longer contain himself and roared in anger, "Oden Irving, you are going too far, you—"Before he could even complete his sentence, Oden's spirit energy suddenly erupted. The
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
