”Hold up!” Bald Richard called out, then carefully eyed Remus again.

People usually cowered at the sound of his name, so this young man really stood out. Bald Richard suspected that he was hiding something. Heck, he even dared to call the Dragon Head by name.

“You know the Dragon Head?” Bald Richard asked tentatively.

“Ask him that yourself,” Remus retorted.

Everyone realized how much of a big shot he was. No wonder he didn’t keep quiet or grovel before Bald Richard. Even the guy that was going to beat Remus up started to fear for his own safety.

Kylie frowned. Did Remus really know the Dragon Head?

Just then, Bald Richard’s phone call went through. His demeanor immediately turned sheepish as he asked, “Dragon Head, sir, are you busy right now?”

“Get to the point!” Anthony snapped. He was angry because he had just been informed of Remus Cosby’s true identity. Apparently, he wasn’t a highly-respected person; he was just some guy who had scrubbed the Temple Lord’s toilet!

Yes, his Temple Lord had told him to treat Remus right, but Anthony felt like he had disgraced himself by becoming the guy’s personal driver. He had even put the airport on standby for him! As the Dragon Head, he couldn’t behave that way!

“Alright, sir.” Bald Richard nodded vigorously. “There’s a guy here called Remus Cosby. He says you know him. Do you, sir?”

Kylie’s heartbeat sped up as she waited for an answer. If Remus really did know the Dragon Head, business would go much easier for her.

“Who? Remus?” Anthony bristled the moment he heard that name. “I don’t know which shithole he’s from, so no. Why? Is he there with you?”

Bald Richard lowered his voice. “Ben Stuart from the Stuart family ordered me to cripple him.”

Anthony thought things through momentarily. He could just pretend he didn’t know what was going on. If anything, an apology to his Temple Lord would suffice. Remus was just some cheap lackey after all, so Anthony wouldn’t get in too much trouble.

“Do it then,” Anthony grunted before hanging up the call.

After receiving confirmation, Bald Richard immediately turned to Remus, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. “The Dragon Head has spoken, kid.”

His pause left everyone holding their breath.

“What did he say?” Kylie asked.

“He said…to finish you off!” Bald Richard growled. “I was going to let you off easy at first, kid, but not after that stunt you pulled! You’ll be leaving here in pieces!”

“What?” Kylie gasped. She hadn’t expected this to happen! She should’ve known better than to trust Remus!

Remus blinked in surprise. “Anthony told you to finish me off?”

“Get him!” Bald Richard ordered. “Make sure he’s begging for mercy by the time we’re done with him!”

Just like that, all the lackeys lunged at him with weapons in hand, aiming for his weak points. The onlooking crowd and guests instantly retreated to safety, save for Kylie, who remained frozen with fear.

Much to everyone’s shock, the men soon landed on their asses, yelping in pain. It didn’t look like they were any match for Remus, like those guards from yesterday.

Kylie gaped, wondering how Remus had defeated them so easily when she didn’t even see him raise his fist.

“Anthony Mark actually said that?” Remus asked again, still finding the situation incredulous. Anthony had gotten soaked in the rain yesterday just to serve him. What had changed?

“I see you know a thing or two as well. No wonder you weren’t scared. It’s a pity that you’re fighting me right now!” Bald Richard declared, then swung a fist at Remus.

He had earned his place as sect head with hardcore training and proving himself over the years. He had even won three streets for their sect with nothing but his fists years ago. He became famous for his iron-hard fists. Those unfortunate enough to experience them were either left crippled or dead.

A loud slap landed on Bald Richard’s face.

“When did I give you permission to hit me?” Remus asked.

Bald Richard gaped in shock, fist still raised. He had felt the man slap him on the cheek, yet he hadn’t seen him raise his hand even once.

Another smack rang out.

“C’mon, talk.”

“I…”

He delivered another slap! Bald Richard flew backward while Remus concluded, “Ugh, you talk too slow.”

Bald Richard was left hunched over, spitting out blood and a few teeth.

Remus turned to Kylie. “Bring me to Anthony Mark.”

He didn’t like dragging things out or making a fuss. His master had taught him to always solve the root of the problem, so that’s what he would do.

Draculus Court, Anthony Mark’s flagship business, was one of the most successful entertainment establishments in Neptuna. You needed to have spent at least a million dollars to qualify for the lowest membership tier.

In the Nihil Suite, men and women sat together in silence, creating an atmosphere that did not match the club. In their midst, Ben Stuart was tossing back glass after glass of wine, awaiting Bald Richard’s call.

He had suffered one of the most humiliating moments in his life today. He had become the laughingstock of the equestrian world.

The horse had even…

“Slow down with the drinks, Benny. You’re ruining your liver,” a woman next to him said.

She was immediately met with a hard slap to the face.

“You dare order me around? Do you know who I am and what I can do to you, you whore? Get the fuck out of my sight!” Ben roared, making the woman flinch and tremble in fear.

Just then, his father called.

“Dad?”

“I heard about what happened to you. Come home for now. We need to prepare for the meeting with Ms. Lotus tonight.”

Ben sighed. “Alright.”

He swiftly went downstairs, but before he could reach his car, a Maserati slowed to a stop outside the entrance. The man who stepped out from the vehicle made Ben’s eyes bug out of their sockets.

“Remus Cosby!”

Why were his legs still functioning?!

“Oh. Hey, jackass.” Remus didn’t bother wasting his breath before striding into the club.

Ben’s knuckles were stretched pale. “You asshole.” Yet he couldn't try to fight Remus. He’d experienced the aftermath of that before and didn’t want to go through it again.

Just then, he spotted Kylie Cox getting out of the car too. His demeanor changed instantly, and he walked up to her with a polite smile.

“Hello there, miss. Are you one of Mr. Cosby’s friends? My name’s Ben, Skylar Stuart’s son and MD of Sky Group. I’d love to get to know you better.”

This card up his sleeve had always worked in the past.

Kylie gazed at him in awe. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stuart. I’m Kylie Cox from Cox Corp.”

It looked like it was going to work once again.

Remus made his way up to one of the higher-class suites, where two guards stood outside. If he guessed correctly, Anthony Mark should be right inside.

Just as he took another step, one guard said, “Stop right there. Name?”

“Remus Cosby.”

    The name sounded familiar to the guard. He glanced at him and told him to wait before turning toward the suite to report.“Watch the cavalry sent across the vast lands. I’m in the eye of the storm with…” Anthony stood in the middle, singing his lungs out. He liked the song “Five Hundred More Years;” he found it majestic. He frowned when the guard entered. “What’s the matter?”Anthony hated people walking around while he was singing.The guard bent down and whispered, “Mr. Mark, someone named Remus Cosby is looking for you.”Remus Cosby? Him again?Anthony’s expression changed as he thought, “Is this how Bald Richard takes care of things? I ordered him to cripple Remus, yet he’s at my door, looking for me?”“Tell him to leave. Tell him I’m not here!” Anthony said irritably.It would’ve all been fine if his subordinates had paralyzed Remus. However, if he did it and Remus reported it to the Temple Lord, it would attract unnecessary trouble.“Understood.” The guard turned and saw

    Anthony curled up and retched. He was a mess, vomiting gastric juice all over the floor. Still, the sect leaders circled around him.“Dragon Head, how are you feeling?”“Take him to the back!”“Let’s fight for the Dragon Head. Kill that bastard!”Behind all the sect leaders were at least hundreds of their subordinates. Hearing the command, all of them raised their weapons simultaneously. They stared at the door, ready to attack at any time.Remus walked out calmly. When he saw the scene in the corridor, he smiled, unsurprised. Hearing the footsteps, he knew there would be a group. This must be a small group, and he guessed there would be more downstairs.However, no matter how many ordinary people there were, they meant nothing to Remus. He asked casually, “Single combat? Or a group fight?”Seeing Remus, everyone was shocked. Who was this guy? No one knew him, nor had they seen him. Everyone thought that a powerful fighter had returned. Instead, a young man appeared.

    Skylar squinted, and anyone could feel the aura of success emanating from him. Then, he said, “In Neptuna, Elias Bowen and I are the only business partners qualified to compete. So, there’s a chance Ms. Lotus will choose us. You need to get closer to Ms. Lotus so we can officially become business partners.”Just the thought of hooking up with Jean Lotus excited Ben. She was the daughter of Centurio.Then, Ben asked, “What about Miranda Bowen?”He had accompanied Miranda for almost a year and thought he could capture her heart with Adeptus Gale’s assistance. However, a man came out of the blue and messed everything up. Since he had put in so much effort, he felt unsure if he could get Miranda to sleep with him.Skylar smiled faintly. “It won’t be affected. I ordered Adeptus Gale to call his senior. They will drug Miranda. This time, we will not fail. When her sickness resurfaces, you can win her heart easily. Be careful with your relationship with her. If Elias finds out, we will be

    Once Remus said that, everyone in the hall was shocked. But in the next second, laughter was heard. No one believed that a liar was worthy of Jean Lotus."You scoundrel. You must've heard me mentioning that Ms. Lotus would be at the Neptuna, so you've come here to commit fraud!" Brianne sneered."Sure enough, those who came from prison usually have something wrong with their heads." Elias shook his head. He had already sensed something unusual yesterday when Remus spoke back to him. How would a normal person dare disrespect him? Upon knowing the truth, Elias figured that Remus must have been beaten up when he was in prison.Miranda stood by the side, watching the scene indifferently. She looked innocent and stunning in her evening gown. Her looks were worthy of her title as the most attractive woman in Neptuna. "Mr. Bowen, this is your son-in-law? He doesn't seem the decent sort," Skylar teased.Elias quickly warned, "Mr. Stuart, please watch your tongue. We have no relation to h

    “Oh? So, your name is Jean Lotus. I’ll remember you… What?” Brianne threatened her subconsciously, but she realized something halfway through and screamed at the top of her lungs.Jean Lotus? Centurio’s Jean Lotus?Although she had only said a few words, it shocked everyone at the hall.“You…” Skylar was astonished.“What?” Elias’ forehead was drenched with cold sweat.“You’re…” Miranda’s face turned pale from fear.“Huh?” Even Remus was shocked. He slowly turned toward Jean. She was Jean Lotus? Wasn’t she Adam’s lover? Wasn’t Adam her sugar daddy?Jean took a step forward and stopped hiding. She radiated her aura as the daughter of a noble family and looked at Brianne, “Am I worthy now?”Brianne was so frightened that she hid behind her husband and dared not look up. Finally, she said in a trembling voice, “I-I-I—You—you’re worthy. I’m not.”Then, Miranda faced everyone and said, “Anyone dare to kill him now?!”The crowd was once again shocked and gasped.

    Jean seemed not to hear it and said to Remus, "Remus, wait for me here. I'll go get changed." She had intended to change at the Imperial Villa, but Remus had come back."Sure!" Remus answered concisely. He knew that there were too many people, so he would privately talk about the marriage cancellation once the banquet was over.After Jean left, another wave of discussions blew up in the hall. Everyone was making guesses at Remus' identity and why he came with Ms. Lotus. Moreover, they were curious if he had really just come out of prison. Some gloated at Ben's embarrassment, laughing that he had flattered the wrong person! Of course, most people went to drink with Remus to make some connections."Mr. Cosby, I'm sorry." Mr. Lawson got up from the floor and apologized. He was in great regret. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have scolded Remus. Instead, he would be trying to ride his coattails."Get lost," Remus said indifferently.At the other end of the hall, Skylar b

    Jean deliberately stopped speaking, which made everyone's hearts stop beating too. Elias subconsciously straightened up while Skylar held his breath and waited. They were worried that Jean would choose Remus since he came in with her. However, after hearing that the person she chose was excellent, wise, and outstanding, they knew it could not be Remus. He had just come out of prison and was a criminal with no relation to such terms!So, it meant that both of them still had a chance."Who is this person?" Jean teased further and looked toward Elias and Skylar with a smile. Her gaze filled them with exhilaration."It must be us. We'll be chosen!" Brianne couldn't help but mutter. Although they had just offended Ms. Lotus, the Stuarts' offense was more serious."This person is young…" Jean continued.Immediately, Ben was agitated, and the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing. He looked at Jean in a daze, thinking, "It's not dad, it’s me. Oh joy!"Skylar was excited, too, and l

    “In recent years, Skylar Group has been known as the fastest-growing company in Neptuna, and I have contributed significantly to its growth. So may I ask why can’t I be compared to Remus Cosby?!”Skylar secretly agreed. His son was a hundred times more outstanding than Remus. He wanted to see how Jean would reply to Ben.Jean stared at Ben and slowly said, “Because you’re like the horse that others ride!”Immediately, there was a burst of laughter. This matter was circled in Neptuna gossip, but no one dared to say it in public. Who knew Jean would be so cruel to say it publicly?“I…” Ben was speechless and wanted to hide from the shame. Skylar lowered his head and felt the laughter was ear-piercing. Elias dared not speak. The atmosphere became less tense. Then, to smooth out the atmosphere, Remus spoke a few words, and they started to drink. After he toasted all the tables, he returned to the reception room upstairs. In that room were those who had entered the hall last. “Unc

    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.

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
