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
Everyone was shocked by his words. Did he mean that she's cured? Then, Elias and Brianna rushed into the bedroom. Jean was in disbelief. "S-She's really cured?"She saw Miranda's condition. If he really cured her, he was basically like a deity on Earth. Remus nodded and laughed. "Now, you don't need to go back and marry that idiot.""You're amazing!" Jean gave him a thumbs up, and there was admiration in her eyes. She wanted to hug him but remembered what she had promised her father. She stopped herself.Then, she laughed. "We haven't eaten dinner. I bet you're hungry. Let's go back to Imperial Villa. I'll cook something for you." "Okay." Remus smiled and went with her. However, he stopped after a few steps. "We have to wait. We haven’t gotten the money yet."That said, Remus was about to go to the room and get the money. Jean laughed, "You wanted five billion from them. Even though Elias is the richest man in Neptuna, he can't get so much money immediately. You need to give
All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of
With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st
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
