Chapter 11
Author: Oldwell
”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 passed by second by second. Kaiser gathered all the think tanks from Darsia to start the discussion. Undoubtedly, he truly wanted to work out a foolproof plan.However, it was also undeniable that Lincoln made a valid point—the formations surpassed what the think tanks could handle, even going beyond the capabilities of cultivators in the Mortal Realm. There was simply no way to come up with a perfect strategy.Roman remained in the air, patiently waiting without any rush. He just needed to wait for two hours, so there was no need to hurry.The four ghost kings were also waiting for orders. If it weren't for the countless pairs of eyes watching them from below, they would have already sat down for a cup of tea until the orders arrived.As for Francis, he remained sitting in the air. Even though everything was happening right in front of him and was directed at him, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, completely ignoring it.Below, some people were shouting insults w

    But at that moment, Kaiser spoke up. "Wait!"He glanced at the women and saw that they were all in a daze, almost as if their spirits were elsewhere. Seeing they couldn't stand up for themselves, he had no choice but to step forward himself.It was understandable. After all, who could watch their loved one disappear without a trace and remain full of spirit?Kaiser continued, "What would happen if you didn't break the formation simultaneously, or if you were about to break it, and suddenly he intervened to activate it again?"Hearing this, Candace's lips trembled slightly. In truth, she had considered this idea as well.Instead of relying on Roman to break through the formation, she was actually trying to provoke Francis into making a mistake. Once Francis showed weaknesses, they could follow that lead and find a way to rescue Melody and Rafael.That was why this was a high-stakes gamble. In truth, Candace was also anxious.Roman also trembled slightly. His thoughts were complet

    Roman remained silent, not knowing how to respond, and even more so because he truly dared not take action.If Rafael and Melody were harmed because he acted rashly, there would be overwhelming public outrage, which would be impossible to contain.The reason, as Francis mentioned, was that Roman was claiming to save Melody and Rafael. If they were killed, anyone would think it was due to his selfish desires.Even if he wanted to go against public opinion, it shouldn't be done overtly. It should be carried out discreetly, subtly influencing things. However, he was under everyone's watchful eyes right now. It was too difficult!Francis suddenly burst into laughter, keeping his eyes fixed on Roman with a gaze full of mockery and contempt."Let them go, and I'll spare your life!" Roman spoke with difficulty, his gaze burning with anger, yet he still didn't dare to make a move."Do you think I'm a fool?" Francis paused his laughter and said with a hint of amusement, "In a time of grea

    When Nick finished speaking, it felt as though an invisible force had filled the space, continuously pulsating and affecting the hearts of everyone present.Below, Kaiser and everyone else turned their eyes toward Francis. Excitement shone brightly in their eyes. Now that things had reached this point, what would Francis do next?"You… You're all a lost cause!" Francis was furious, openly expressing his anger.According to his calculations, the ghost kings should have attacked Roman. After all, these kinds of opportunities came only once, and missing them would mean losing hope for eternity. He never could have imagined that they would actually give up this chance!"Your lack of understanding is solely yours." Roman slowly spoke, now standing with his hands behind his back, and mockingly remarked, "Loyalty, benevolence, and righteousness have been passed down through the Three Realms since ancient times."If all these principles were to fail, wouldn't the Three Realms fall into co

    In an instant, everyone's heart skipped a beat.No one could have predicted how quickly the situation would change. Not long ago, the ghost kings were working with Roman to defeat three Immortal Emperors. Now, they were on the brink of becoming enemies. It was even more unexpected for one major battle to follow right after another.A while later, Grant was the first to make a move, stepping forward.Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened instantly, including the other three ghost kings, who also became tense. This was because Grant's next words could decide Roman's fate.In fact, any of the four present could determine his fate since they were united at this moment, but it just happened to be Grant who stepped forward.Francis' lips curled up slightly, and Roman became even more vigilant."The moment I entered the Underworld, I am bound to it for life!" Grant finally spoke with determination. "Although I've made mistakes in the past, I've realized my errors and am trying to correct

    A deafening boom echoed, and it felt as though the whole world had come to a stop. Francis stood in front of the avatar while Roman was still releasing his energy. Everyone below was still looking upward.Time passed before another sound rang out, but in comparison to the previous loud noise, it was almost negligible.Upon closer inspection, Roman's avatar had developed a crack. This crack started from the center of the forehead and extended downward to the very bottom. Along both sides of this crack, like the branches of a tree, were countless tiny, dense fissures.In the next second, Roman's avatar suddenly crumbled like fine sand, starting from the top of the head all the way to its feet. The avatar completely collapsed, turning into a dazzling burst of light that gradually merged with the air and disappeared completely.At that moment, the world became even quieter. Everyone stared blankly at the scene.Previously, the people of the lower realm might not have understood what a

    The black space took on the shape of a human-sized form, which then shrank to about one foot, resembling a larger sphere. Nobody could survive given that size.Seeing the situation, Roman silently breathed a sigh of relief. After this attack, he could only go all out two more times.If he couldn't kill Francis this time, he would have to strike again, which meant he would have only one more chance to use his full strength. In that case, would he still be able to suppress the other four ghost kings? After all, they still hadn't made their stance clear.Although having two chances instead of one may seem like only a slight increase, it actually granted Roman a bit more hope for survival. If there was only one chance left, then everything would depend on the four ghost kings not putting up a fight.Just then, the darkness suddenly shattered, and almost instantly, a golden light spread across the sky. At the center of this golden light was, of course, Francis."Just two more times!" H

    "You're courting death!" At that moment, the runes written by Roman descended with immense power, filled with a faint purple light and covering the sky. It was as if they were about to crush Francis.Roman was genuinely furious. His decision to take action now came from necessity, but it also involved a gamble. There was a risk that the four ghost kings might choose to stand back and benefit from the chaos, leaving him in a life-threatening situation.Initially, the four ghost kings might not have had the courage to do anything. But Francis' words would gradually tip the scales in their minds, giving them the boldness to finally act against Roman.Francis' energy created a protective barrier, causing the two forces to collide instantly and then quickly explode apart.Francis fell nearly 100 feet from the Upper Realms, but Roman wasn't in a much better situation.Battling the three Immortal Emperors drained a lot of Roman's energy, especially when Whitney self-destructed in the end

    A sudden surge of energy emanated from Roman. The situation had escalated to a point where not taking action would be excessively cautious. In fact, it wouldn't just be cautious—it would be outright hypocritical.He exclaimed, "You, as the ruler of the Three Realms and the Celestial Sovereign, have gone back on your word and acted against the wishes of all beings in the Three Realms. I can no longer tolerate this and must hold you accountable!"With that, his energy rapidly surged toward Francis. Meanwhile, Francis trembled and also rapidly released his energy.Two waves of energy collided with a loud noise and then dispersed in all directions, causing ripples in the surrounding space. However, neither side was significantly affected, and both remained standing in place.Francis smirked. "Even after all these centuries, you've matured, but your abilities haven't improved much. If Remus hadn't drained so much of my energy, with your current abilities, I would only need to use 50 per
