He spoke casually as if Remus owed Jean a lot. On the side, Skylar continued to say, "Ms. Lotus, a wise person should understand the current situation. If the Steeles wanted Remus' life, who could protect Remus in Daviau? Can you? It's a great deal to exchange his hands for Mr. Steele's anger!"John sneered. "Ms. Lotus, you should think about Ethan's situation. He almost died, and Mr. Steele is willing to sit and discuss this with you. He's giving you a chance!"Jean was starting to sweat out of panic. As they say, lackeys are even more challenging to deal with. If Leonard were to go crazy, Remus would die. However, how could Remus live without his hands?"Well, well." Remus laughed from anger. These people think he was a lump of dead meat on the board that could be easily dealt with, huh? So he raised his hand and said, "Come on then. My hands are here. Who's going to take them?""Heh!" Leonard looked at him as if he was an ant. "You really are presumptuous and ignorant. I will le
She knew what Remus meant. He was good at fighting, and none of these people here could compete with him. However, there was always someone better. If Leonard hired a killer, Remus might get killed in the end. Not all matters could be solved by using force. Then, she looked at Leonard and said seriously, “Uncle Leonard, I’m not sure when that day will come. But I know when you and I become enemies, I will forgo everything and take revenge on you!”Skylar and the others were shocked by her words. Was she already so deeply in love with Remus? What abilities did that bastard have? Leonard frowned and couldn’t believe she would say such a thing. However, he had a plan B! So he said, “Ms. Lotus is a loyal friend. If that’s the case, I should show Ms. Lotus some respect. John, give me the contract!”John quickly gave him the contract. Then, Leonard said, “Ms. Lotus, if you get this pharmaceutical project, you won’t have to marry that idiot. I’ll give you this contract in exchange for h
Soon, they reached the Stuarts' villa. Ben didn’t have time to deal with the mess made earlier. Remus stood in the shambles and said, “Let’s start. Who’s going to chop off my fingers? Do it quickly, and don’t waste my time.”“How dare you be so presumptuous? You’re going to be dead soon!” Ben gritted his teeth and continued, “Ms. Lotus might not be here, but don’t you forget that even if she’s here, she can’t protect you!” Skylar said angrily, “Arrogant bastard. If it weren’t for Ms. Lotus, you wouldn’t have survived until today. I would have killed you long ago!” John was the angriest as he had not avenged his son. “Remus Cosby! You better kneel down before Mr. Steele. Perhaps you’ll get to live. Otherwise, I’ll slice you up and feed you to the fish!” Remus was speechless. Why were these men so talkative? He was too lazy to reply to them and walked forward. Instantly, Skylar and the others retreated in fear. Leonard looked at them with a dark expression and said, “What are yo
He continuously smacked the three of them, venting his anger. The three of them dared not utter another word. Then, Leonard stopped, but his body was trembling from anger. His expression was twisted. “I’m going to kill him! I must kill him!”He turned to them and said, “Contact Dr. Dent right now and ask him about the prescription! I want the production to start immediately!”The three people quickly went to do as they were told. In reality, Leonard was not so kind as to give the contract to Jean. It was a setup so that she would invest in the production. Once the production was complete, and she gave the medicine to Max, he would show Max the pill created by Dr. Dent.He believed that after Max experienced the effect, he would choose Dr. Dent’s medicine. By then, Jean would suffer a double loss. Leonard thought he could exchange Remus’ hands with the contract, but he was given a slap instead.“I will make sure the two of you are killed in the most ruthless way possible. The cr
There were many things that couldn't be done too obviously. Although Max would give Jean the contract, he needed others to accompany him. If not, others would spread unnecessary rumors. After the call ended, Daviau's War Department issued a statement to select medicine suppliers in Neptuna tonight, causing another heated discussion in Neptuna.Remus wanted to cook for Jean, but when he entered the kitchen, he found that she had already prepared everything. Then, they ate together. After that, Remus did not accompany her. Instead, he went to look for Dent.In the afternoon, Remus opened the pot and saw a dozen orange-yellowish pills the size of beans. Because this medicinal effect was about one-tenth of the one used for Miranda, they could produce much more in this batch. However, these were still a dozen times better than normal blood rejuvenation pills on the market. "Miracle. This is really a miracle!" This was the second time Dent witnessed this, but he still found it magical
Reginald swiftly sidestepped and stuck his foot out. With a thud, Dent stumbled and fell to the ground.Reginald shook his head, his lips curling into a sneer. "Even after all these years, you're still as weak as ever, Dent. It's so easy to bully you. I don't know if you're married now, but if you are, I'm sure I could still... Actually, forget it. Your wife must be too old by now. Do you have a daughter? Hahaha!"Dent used all his strength to prop himself up and roared, "Shut your mouth! I'll kill you, you insolent bastard! I'll…"Before Dent managed to stand up, Reginald swiftly kicked him back down.The patients and doctors in the clinic finally regained their composure and exclaimed in shock and anger, "Dr. Dent!""Master!""How dare you lay a hand on my master! I'll kill you!"Just as they were about to take action, eight bodyguards walked in and quickly positioned themselves in front of Reginald, kicking one of the doctors away in the process. The chief bodyguard replied i
A Medical Skill Battle was the standard way to resolve issues in medicine. Two people would solve a condition at the same time, and whoever solved it faster and more thoroughly would win the battle.He'd learned dry needling from his master. It needed nine needles, but the results varied based on strengths, depths, and sequences. Soon, they picked out two patients with stomach problems.Reginald used a needle and teased, "Let’s stick to old traditions and let the eldest do it first. Since you’re my senior, I’ll let you choose your desired patient. Heh!"There was still blood on Dent’s lips. He gritted his teeth and said, "No need for that. As a junior, you should choose first. I don’t want you to complain that it’s unfair and go back on your word when I win later!"Reginald narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Dent, don't you understand what I mean? I’m asking you to choose, and then I’ll take it from you. After all, I have experience in this matter, you pathetic bastard. Hah
After that, the patient snatched the bowl and finished the spicy stew. However, halfway through, his stomach started to hurt, and his face scrunched up. He couldn't help but shout in pain. Dent quickly ordered, "Get the vinegar! Quick!" Vinegar would help reduce the spiciness and lessen his pain. "Stop right there!" Reginald sneered. "You don't have to care for him. You'd better look out for yourself, you old bastard. You've lost, and now your life is mine!"Everyone looked at him and then at his patient in shock. Reginald's patient looked angry, but he wasn't affected by the spice. When the patient realized everyone was looking at him, he was dumbfounded. "I… I don't think I felt any pain. All I feel is a warmth in my stomach. Could it be that I'm cured?""Impossible!" Dent blurted out, "Stomach problems are the hardest to cure. It requires long-term recuperation. It's impossible to get well so quickly. No way!"Reginald laughed, "Just admit to your lousy skills. Old bastard,
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
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
