Given the current situation, how could the wedding proceed?!"What happened tonight? Two people were killed, and all four of Mr. Steele’s limbs were broken!""This is a catastrophe! Neptuna is doomed. It's all over! We're all done for!""Mr. Steele, are you okay?" A crowd of people had gathered around Ethan, expressing their concern and sympathy. Everyone was discussing the events of the evening."I'm going to kill him! I'll kill him!" Ethan seethed with impotent rage, his face contorted in a grotesque expression. He had come to go against Jean, but ended up being defeated by Jean's partner. This was a tremendous humiliation."Mr. Steele, hold on a little longer. The ambulance will be here soon!" Skylar knelt beside him, tears streaming down his face as he expressed his loyalty.Suddenly, Skylar turned and bellowed, "Elias, you useless piece of garbage! You just stood there in your Vespa Villa and watched as Mr. Steele was attacked by those thugs. Are you even human? You are resp
Skylar and his son were dumbfounded. Were they being played right now? It's one thing to suck up to Mr. Steele, but he's only third in the Steele family hierarchy and just an heir! If they had known that Elias was acquainted with Scott, they wouldn't have said those words earlier! Even Elias was perplexed. He had only heard of Scott but had never laid eyes on him before. Nevertheless, he felt relieved that Scott was present. With him there, who in Neptuna would dare to challenge him? Not even Mr. Steele would dare to act recklessly!Elias swiftly clasped his fists and complimented, "Mr. Miller, your presence illuminates tonight's stars, and I am deeply honored."Scott waved his hand and grinned. "Who am I to behave like a big shot? There are even more powerful big shots that will be attending!"If Remus found out he was boasting in his presence, it would spell trouble. Suddenly, everyone was perplexed by Scott's statement. Even Mr. Miller didn't dare to refer to himself as a big s
Scott was seething with anger. How dare these little nobodies speak of his name in such a disrespectful way in front of him!Who in the entire Daviau City dared to say they could kill him, let alone these guys!"Mr. Miller... Mr. Miller, what did you say? You're one of Remus' lackeys?" Ethan's voice trembled with fear as he spoke. He momentarily forgot about the pain. "But isn't Remus' right-hand man the Underground King of Neptuna, Anthony? How can it be you?"The other guests were equally taken aback, staring at Scott as if he were a monster. If he really was working for Remus, then what level of power and influence did Remus hold in the city?"Huh?" Scott was stunned. Underground King? They weren't referring to him?As his old face turned red, an idea struck him. Frowning, he asked Ethan, "Can you describe what this Remus looks like?" Ethan trembled and described Remus's appearance."I was mistaken," Scott said with a serious tone. "I thought it was someone I knew, but it tu
On the other end was one of the top seven prestigious family leaders in Darsia, the leader of the Lotus family, Javier Lotus. His voice was deep as he said, "Although this happened in Neptuna, word has been spread to the family. Everyone in the family has made a firm decision to kill Remus Cosby." Jean instantly knelt on the floor. Beside her, Naomi glared upstairs and thought, "That useless bastard! All he does is stir up trouble. Now he's really done it!""Dad, I’m kneeling before you. Please help me, please. I guarantee this is the last time. I'm begging you!" At this point, Jean spoke very seriously. Otherwise, her father wouldn't go through such trouble for a nobody. After a beat of silence, he asked, "Are you two…in a relationship?"Jean was horrified and dared not admit it. If she did, Remus would be dead meat, as the Lotus family would never allow a nobody to join the family. Her father felt the same. So, she firmly said, "I will keep my distance from him, and I won’t
Minutes ago, she just said Remus wouldn’t be able to get a job after leaving Jean, and now someone was here to poach him? It was fine if it was somebody else. However, this was the leader of the Millers from Lagos. And he had come here personally!Scott thought about it and said, “Ms. Lotus, I admire talented people. However, I must respect Mr. Cosby’s decision. We must see if he agrees.”“I do not agree.” Remus’ voice rang out from the stairs. He had just finished treating Anthony. Then, he approached them and said, “Are you out of your mind? You want me to work for you?” He must have lived a comfortable life in prison, Remus thought as he dared to be so presumptuous. When Scott saw him, he couldn’t help but shudder as he was reminded of being forced to wash his face with toilet water when he was in prison. However, before he could speak, Jean yelled.“Remus! This is the leader of the Millers from Lagos, Mr. Scott Miller!” She gave Remus a warning glance, thinking Remus didn’
Naomi laughed. “You’re acting so presumptuously now because of your prestige in prison. If I had such a good connection, I would’ve used it to my benefit. You really are crazy.”She only felt that Remus was getting more unreasonable. However, Remus ignored her, knowing he would only be pissed off if he argued with her.Then, he looked at Jean again. It made her feel guilty, and she finally told him the truth. Remus said, “So, if your assets can equal that of the richest guy in Neptuna within a month, you don’t need to marry that idiot, right?” It wasn’t a matter of going back. Remus knew that her bad luck of dying at a young age was still present. Therefore, she would definitely die if she returned.“Hmph!” Naomi sneered. “Of course, even a fool can understand that. Do you think it’s possible? Even the working emperor, Adam Jones, can’t reach such an amount in a month. Do you think you can do it? Moreover, other than properties, the pharmaceutical business is the most profitable
Soon, they reached Vespa Villa. Today, the house was messy and cold, not lively like it was on the wedding day. If the lights in the villa were switched off, it would look abandoned. Then, the group went to the second floor and saw Miranda lying in bed. Her eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and even her lips were white. She didn’t seem to be breathing, and her wrist was wrapped with gauze. She had slit her wrist.“Dr. Remus, you’re here!” Dent quickly stood up and explained the situation. “Ms. Bowen lost two-thirds of her blood. Her organs are almost collapsing, and her spirituality is heavily damaged. I used acupuncture to extend her life. If I remove the needles, I’m afraid she’ll die.”Jean gasped as it sounded very bad. Meanwhile, Miranda’s parents were crying in regret. If they hadn’t pressured her, this wouldn’t have happened. If Miranda was gone, what’s the point of living?“Remus, please. I’m begging you. I’m willing to do anything. Please save Miranda,” Brianna
Dent was shocked. Miranda's life was slowly fading away, and she required treatment. Now Remus said he needed sleep? However, Dent did as Remus asked and started cooking.Soon, an hour passed, and Remus got up. His complexion was much better. In contrast, Miranda's complexion was getting paler, and her breathing was weak. Remus then walked to Dent and said, "Let me do it!"Dent nodded and couldn't contain his curiosity. "Dr. Remus, sorry for asking stupid questions. These ingredients can help replenish energy and blood. Together they can rejuvenate her energy a hundred times over. However, I don't think it'll improve Ms. Bowen's condition much now."No matter how good these ingredients were, they could only replenish certain elements while Miranda still needed to be cured. It was two very different concepts. Remus looked at the boiling soup and explained. "This soup can help replenish her because the herbs used are low in medicinal effect. The chicken can only help replenish a l
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
