The Divine Supreme

Chapter 12

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 the door opening. Remus had come in. The guard scolded, “I told you to wait outside. Who said you could come in?”

Remus ignored him and stared at Anthony instead. “Don’t want to see me? Asked someone to cripple me, did you?”

Anthony’s expression soured. He looked at Remus’ disposition, thinking, “How dare a brat who was only imprisoned for three years give me that kind of attitude? Many of my subordinates are felons who were imprisoned for more than ten years! How could he be so bold!”

Then, he waved, not asking his guard to attack. Instead, he said, “What is it? Spit it out. I’m busy!”

Remus remained calm. “I’ve asked the question, and I don’t want to repeat it again. Answer me now. I’m in a hurry too.”

“What did you just say?” Anthony instantly became furious. Even the temperature in the suite dropped. He yelled, “You little brat. I looked after you because you were washing the toilet of Temple Lord. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t even have the right to see me! You’re ungrateful for my kindness and even have the balls to push my buttons. Do you take me for a patient man? Hmm?”

A nobody like this was only worthy of being his subordinates’ minion. Who gave him the courage to come to his door?

Suddenly, Remus felt enlightened. In the past, he saw Anthony as an important figure and was inclined to fawn over him, so he obliged. Later, he heard some fake news and decided against it.

He didn’t bother to explain since he was rushing to another city after breaking off the engagement with Jean Lotus tonight. After that, they would have no more contact.

“Your performance yesterday was not bad. I’ll forgive you this time. We’re even.” He turned to leave after saying that.

“Stop right there!” Anthony was outraged. As the Underground King, he had never been treated with such contempt. Moreover, Remus was nothing but a lucky nobody who met the Temple Lord.

He angrily continued, “You bastard, my patience for you is at its limit. I’ll give you one last chance for the sake of the Temple Lord. Kneel, grovel at my feet, and leave my sight forever! Also, if you dare complain to the Temple Lord, I’ll grind your bones and scatter your ashes!”

Anthony would never feel at ease if he did not teach him a lesson.

Remus turned, having still not learned his lesson, and sneered. “What if I refuse to kneel?”

“Refuse to kneel?” Anthony squinted. “Then I’ll kill you!”

Just as he finished speaking, Remus rushed him. Efficiently, Remus kicked him, causing him to slam into the wall three feet away.

Before Anthony could even slide down the wall, Remus had reached out and grabbed his neck singlehandedly, pinning him to the wall.

Remus asked, “Trying to kill me?”

Everything happened so fast that no one could react.

Anthony was in shock. At that moment, he could not even process that he was being choked and that his legs were off the ground. He had never been this nervous as he stared at Remus in horror.

Only the Temple Lord gave off this kind of oppressive energy. No, even the Temple Lord was never this oppressive! Who was this man really?

The guard was also dumbfounded, and his legs went weak. He did not stop Remus and rushed out the door to press a secret button.

“Ring ring ring… “ The moment the button was pressed, all the eight karaoke places, 12 nightclubs, and 14 clubhouses in Neptuna would be alerted. Then, 26 leaders of the sects would immediately bring hundreds of armed subordinates to the Draculus Court.

In the main hall on the first floor, Kylie Cox looked happy as she had just exchanged numbers with Ben Stuart. He even asked her out on another date. If everything went right, it would help boost the Coxs’ business.

“I heard the Stuarts’ Sky Group will be partnering with Miss Lotus’. If he becomes her business partner and I become his friend…” The more Kylie thought about it, the happier she was. She had a feeling that better days were coming.

Suddenly, she heard the alarm and was startled. Only then did she realize she had brought Remus to find the Dragon Head. What was the meaning of this alarm?

Then, she heard brakes screeching outside and looked outside. A row of cars had stopped, and a group of ferocious-looking men rushed upstairs with weapons.

“Did Remus cause this?” Kylie was shocked at the thought of this and left the place. The moment she walked out, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

In just a blink of an eye, the cars stopped at the entrance. Then, all the car doors opened at the same time. Hundreds of armed men rushed into Draculus Court.

But that was not the end. There were still countless cars on the road, with their headlights high, rushing toward this direction.

Kylie immediately ran and hid among the crowd.

“I heard the Dragon Head’s alarm ringing. The last time it rang was ten years ago!”

“Could it be that he’s back?”

Hearing the crowds’ murmured discussion, Kylie nervously asked, “Excuse me, what does it mean if the alarm rings?”

Likely because these people felt that Kylie was good-looking, they told her seriously. “I was part of the sect in the past, so I know some insider intel. When the alarm rings, it means the enemy has entered the Draculus Court karaoke place, and Dragon Head’s life is threatened. When they hear the alarm, all the subordinates of the sects will come to fight. As you saw, at least a few thousand people came! If I’m not mistaken, he has returned!”

His life was being threatened?!

Kylie’s face turned pale after hearing this. Could Remus have threatened the Dragon Head’s life? Was he out of his mind?

The person who was speaking wanted to flash his charisma and seduce Kylie, so he continued, “Ten years ago…”

However, Kylie was not interested in listening. Instead, she was in a panic, thinking if Remus would survive. Then, she thought of looking for Ben.

Inside the suite, Remus had let go of Anthony. Initially, he wanted to kill him, but he thought about what his Master had said. Killing will reduce his virtue and his own luck. Therefore, he decided to let Anthony go.

Remus calmly said, “You can be exempted from death, but you won’t escape punishment!”

After that, he kicked Anthony out of the door as if he was a rubber ball.

Right then, the leaders of the 26 sects rushed to the corridor. They shouted anxiously, “Dragon Head!”
