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
At that point, Glinda had no choice but to agree to Oden's suggestion.She had already recognized that Oden was present to stir up trouble, and if she provided him with any leverage, he would undoubtedly create a huge disruption."Mrs. Calsberg," Henry anxiously spoke.How could she have agreed to his terms? Not to mention the matter of the pills, she was Master Calsberg's wife — how could she bow to anyone else?"Mrs. Calsberg!" Other disciples of Tanjen chimed in, expressing their reluctance to witness Glinda's humiliation."What are you waiting for? Quickly bow and apologize, haha," Oden taunted with a light chuckle, but it was clear that he was pressuring her. If she did not comply, he was determined to dismantle the Tanjen Organization today, leaving Remus to return to nothing but ruins."I've made up my mind," Glinda interrupted Henry and the others once more. She then fixed a stern gaze on the individuals before her, took a deep breath, and began to lower herself in a gest
Everyone couldn't believe Remus would openly insult Oden by likening him to a dog.Henry couldn't help but suppress a smirk, clearly understanding that Remus intended to insult Oden.He promptly spoke sincerely, "Yes, it's entirely my fault. I accept any punishment!"Remus nodded slightly and said sternly, "Considering your years of dedicated service to the Tanjen Organization, I won't punish you severely this time. But punishment is unavoidable. As such, you are to write 1000 times, 'Crimson Valley Organization and dogs are not allowed to enter'!""Remus Calsberg!" Oden erupted in anger. He felt that he was being blatantly humiliated in public and could no longer contain his frustration.He asked bluntly, "Are you truly committed to opposing the Crimson Valley Organization? Do you genuinely intend to engage in a life-and-death battle with me?"As he spoke, he once again exuded his formidable energy, causing everyone to tremble with fear.Although they had been in direct conflic
The troublemakers were all shivering with fear.They were confident before seeing Remus. But now, they inevitably felt guilty. However, retreat was no longer an option as the situation had escalated to such a point that they had no choice but to stand their ground."Master Calsberg, you promised us replenishing pills, and you should give them to us!""We're here to receive what we deserve!""After all, you said we could come anytime."Remus' expression gradually darkened upon hearing their responses. During their time in the Violet Sanctum, they had steadfastly supported him, but now they had aligned themselves with Oden to pressure him.He felt deeply hurt. Gazing at them, he inquired, "If Oden has threatened you in any way, you can speak up now. I won't hold your past actions against you, and not only that, I will seek justice on your behalf! But if you came here voluntarily and coerced my wife into apologizing, then our relationship ends here!"He was someone who cherished hi
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
