At that moment, not only did Jean and Kylie recognize the person, but the guests also identified him."Mr. Cosby!""My goodness, it's the Thunderous God of War from Darsia! To see the Thunderous God of War in my lifetime, I'm truly blessed!""Mr. Cosby, I'm Lisa Holland from the Sakurasom royal family, and I'm your fan."The guests were excited, never expecting to meet the legendary figure.Some rushed over to ask for autographs, while others tried to flatter him. Some foreign women even abandoned their male companions, their eyes filled with infatuation.However, the young man in front of them didn't look at any of them. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Kylie and Jean, his eyes gleaming.Kylie and Jean found themselves blushing beneath his gaze, inwardly cursing his unexpected return. They couldn't suppress the undeniable yearning that surged within them. Yet, as they moved halfway toward him, they abruptly halted.Kylie's smile faded as she looked puzzled. "You're not Remus?"
Kylie replied awkwardly, "Remus has gone out, and we don't know when he will be back."Joe nodded and said calmly, "With great power comes great responsibility. Understandably, he has a lot of things to take care of." He paused, then looked at Kylie and Jean with a smile. "As his brother, it is naturally my duty to take care of you in his absence. If you have any difficulties at work or in life… Anything at all, you can come to me!"His eyes grew brighter and more radiant.Kylie and Jean felt a resistance toward him. Something about his gaze, his expression, and something else seemed off.Before they could respond, Joe suddenly turned around, facing the crowd, and casually lifted his hand to gesture for a glass. Seeing this, a waiter in the banquet hall quickly brought over a glass of wine.Joe, with a cheerful smile, lifted his glass and spoke warmly, "I'm sure we're all familiar with one another, so there's no need for lengthy introductions! It really is a pleasure to see ev
Witnessing the swift collaboration between Joe and Lisa, Jean was left in a state of bewilderment. She hadn't uttered a word of agreement or objection, so she couldn't fathom how decisions were being made so hastily.Kylie also found herself grappling with questions. Even though Joe was Remus' brother, shouldn't he have consulted Jean before making decisions on her behalf?Before they had the chance to voice their concerns, those around them started to express their expectations and desires.Someone said, "Dear Mr. Cosby, could you also arrange for the Thunderous God of War to visit my family? You can rest assured that we will organize the grandest welcoming ceremony nationwide!"Joe smiled and said, "No problem, Kylie, this task is yours."Another person said, "My family has been worshiping the three Martial Imperial for years. Could Mr. Cosby step in and protect my family? I promise our worship won't diminish."Joe chuckled and reassured, "Not a big issue. My brother doesn't ha
Joe's tone turned solemn as he emphasized, "You need to look at the bigger picture and grasp the greater context here. Don't confine yourselves to a narrow perspective."After speaking, he even gave Kylie and Jean a slightly disappointed look.Kylie and Jean felt like they were about to explode with frustration upon hearing this.His words seemed to imply that not assisting would signify a failure to comprehend the broader perspective, and the weight of responsibility appeared to fall upon them.Was all the responsibility theirs to bear now?What did these matters have to do with them?As they were about to voice their objections, Joe interjected once more, redirecting his attention to the crowd with a smile. "Are you all content with tonight's banquet? Is everyone enjoying themselves?""Yes!" The crowd responded.Joe seemed content with the reactions from the guests, turning back to Kylie and Jean, saying, "You've witnessed it too. Everyone here is highly content and delighted
Upon hearing Remus' words, Joe came to an abrupt halt, his face contorted with bewilderment.The guests were also caught off guard, their expressions reflecting confusion.What was the Thunderous God of War referring to?Kylie and Jean's bodies trembled slightly as well.Remus was his father? Why did those words sound like an insult?The atmosphere became rather strange for a moment.Remus continued, "What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me? Hurry up and kneel and call me 'Dad.' After all these years without seeing each other, if I'm in a good mood, I might even give you some pocket money!"In truth, Remus had been present earlier, but their focus had been entirely on Joe, and his arrival had gone unnoticed.As for Joe's assertion of being a half-brother from overseas, Remus remained skeptical.Rafael had always been faithful to his mother, and the idea of him having an illegitimate child from overseas seemed implausible. Moreover, in a world with billions of people, f
Joe clenched his teeth, shooting a fierce glare at Remus.He suppressed his anger and turned away from him, directing his attention to the gathered crowd.With a forced smile, he spoke to the crowd, "Tonight, we've witnessed quite the drama, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. Let's all cherish the remainder of the evening! Let's meet again in the future!"As he turned to leave, Remus struck him with another resounding slap.He sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? Who would want to meet with you, huh?"Joe glanced at Remus and felt a surge of anger welling up inside him. He couldn't believe that Remus had slapped him once again.Was he only capable of violence?But in the end, he could only swallow his anger and left with a pique expression.The banquet hall fell into a hushed silence, and every eye remained fixed on Remus. Even the influential figures from the global business world were trembling with fear.At that very moment, Remus finally cracked a smile
The hall fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the turn of events.Lisa was a member of the Sakurasom royal family. Despite the decline of the Sakurasom citizen's opinion toward their royalty, they were still nobility with a deep heritage spanning several generations.Yet, she actually rolled on the ground?Even Remus found himself taken aback, his mouth agape in astonishment. He had always held the people of Sakurasom in low regard, but he had never imagined they could stoop so low."Master, are you satisfied?" Lisa rolled twice on the ground before kneeling, her face brimming with eager anticipation. It was clear from her demeanor that she was genuinely seeking his approval.Remus responded with a dark face, "I told you to roll out of the banquet hall!""Alright!" Lisa didn't hesitate for a moment, quickly rolling out of the banquet hall.Once again, Remus was left speechless and couldn't stand to continue watching. He proceeded to leisurely stroll away from the crowd. Kylie
Joe quickly took out something, and it turned out to be a Voice Transmission Rune.Placing it near his ear, he said respectfully, "Master Walter!"On the other end of the phone, an old man stood in front of the main hall on the Island of the Monarch, overlooking the vast sea in the distance.The caller was from the Island of the Monarch's Monarch Palace, and he was one of the most powerful men in the world, the current Master of the Dragon Protector Clan, Garth Walter.Garth questioned, "How did it go tonight? Was it successful?"He had originally thought that the Rose family would take action to eliminate Remus, but unexpectedly, the Rose family had held back, refraining from making a move.The clear rationale behind their restraint was to wait for the impending arrival of the new year, which was less than three months away. The strategic delay aimed to have Remus settle internally within the Dragon Protector Clan first.Even though the current Remus wasn't worth mentioning, wh
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
