As he spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal three radiant pills inside. Leonard commanded, "Go, take them to the experts!"Ben swiftly took the pills and handed them to the experts.To ordinary people, the medication appeared no different from ordinary tablets, but the experts recognized them at a glance."These... these are elixir pills!" Tobias exclaimed in astonishment."Are they really?""Oh my, this is extraordinary! They're indeed elixir pills!" The other two experts, even more knowledgeable, stood up in amazement.Elixir pills? Most people exchanged puzzled glances, utterly clueless.Reginald, who stood behind Timothy, naturally recognized the term as a doctor himself and was shocked. In this era, were there still people capable of such refined alchemy?Jean's face grew grave. Although she didn't understand the significance, the situation seemed unfavorable judging from the experts' reactions.Remus remained silent, watching calmly with
As the applause rang out, Jean suddenly felt a jolt of shock run through her. Her face drained of color and her body trembled unsteadily."It's over!"Those two words consumed her thoughts. Uncle Max had already awarded the contract to Leonard, leaving no room for further discussion. Jean's chances of obtaining the contract were dashed, and she felt a surge of worry for Remus. What would become of him now?"Ms. Lotus!"At that moment, a voice called out beside her.John approached, clutching a contract in his hand. His tone dripped with malice as he spoke, "While you may have lost the contract to supply medicine to the War Department, you did secure a contract with us. According to its terms, any party that breaches it will incur a penalty of three billion. So, I must ask you, will you pay the sum directly, or will you continue producing the medicine?"The contract did indeed contain such a provision, designed to benefit both parties involved.John's sneer intensified as his gaz
John grew even more irritable. "I thought you were already shameless in your actions, but I didn't expect you to dare to be so audacious in front of Commander Baxton. Commander Baxton, I suggest you give me your gun so I can personally kill him!""What audacity!""How can Neptuna have such scum!""Wait until Ms. Lotus leaves, then he'll cry!"Remus' words instantly ignited public outrage.Remus couldn't be bothered to respond to them. Instead, he fixed an intense gaze upon Max.Max felt a tinge of guilt under the scrutiny, but he swiftly regained his composure. How could he be afraid of a mere insignificant character?Infuriated, he fired back, "You dare to threaten me? Fine! Show me how you'll make me regret it! Hurry up and do it!""Alright!"Remus let out a cold chuckle, then turned to Leonard and spoke with indifference, "You're so arrogant. How are you so certain that you'll secure the contract?"Leonard's mouth twitched. How dare this insignificant person speak to him i
When Remus' voice faded, the doors of the banquet hall slowly swung open, revealing an elderly man clad in a flowing robe making a brisk entrance. To everyone's astonishment, it was none other than Dent, the renowned physician of Neptuna!"Dr. Green?""Why is Dr. Green here?""Could it be that he was actually called upon? But what could be the significance of his presence?"The unexpected sight of Dent appearing caused a stir among the crowd. As an esteemed physician in Neptuna, he was held in high regard, and numerous people sought his expertise. However, Dent rarely made public appearances, leaving everyone bewildered as to why he had been summoned so abruptly.Leonard and the others were taken aback by Dent's unexpected presence, their minds filled with worry that their secret prescription might be discovered. They had purposely kept Dent away from the gathering, so they wondered how Remus managed to summon him.Nevertheless, they knew they had to maintain an appearance of res
"All the elixir pills were refined by his hands!""What?!"Leonard's eyes widened as if struck by lightning. They were on the verge of popping out of their sockets. If this pill was truly concocted by Remus, then what was the point of competing?"No way! How could this insignificant runt be the one who refined the pill? It's utterly unbelievable!" Skylar exclaimed, as if facing a supernatural entity, desperate to deny the truth."No way!""Absolutely impossible!"Others also chimed in, one after another. How could Remus possibly be skilled in alchemy? It must be fake!Jean suddenly turned her head.Elias' mouth hung open in astonishment.Max's mind buzzed with disbelief.Amidst the attention of the crowd, Remus remained calm and unaffected. He said, "A bunch of foolish dogs. If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone about my medical skills!"Elias, feeling compelled to validate Remus' abilities, stepped forward and spoke earnestly, his voice filled with conviction. "Mr. Co
Everyone felt reluctant, but they were compelled to depart.Within a mere five minutes, the banquet hall stood vacant. Elias had contemplated offering his congratulations, but witnessing the tender exchange between Remus and Jean, he opted not to intrude."Did you really refine the elixir?" Jean's eyes were filled with admiration. She found Remus increasingly mysterious the more she interacted with him. He seemed capable of anything.Remus arrogantly replied, "Of course, alchemy is child's play. There are even more powerful things I can do."The light in Jean's eyes intensified, and she instinctively asked, "What else?"Without thinking, Remus responded, "You!""Huh?" Jean was momentarily perplexed, and then her face flushed crimson. After two seconds, she averted her gaze, bashfully concealing her embarrassment.Remus was speechless. Why had she changed? In the past, she might have said something like, "Why don't you give it a try?" and then brushed off his words. After all, th
“Speak!”Ben cleared his throat before he continued, “We can’t do anything to Remus for now because Ms. Lotus is protecting him. I’m worried she would be inflicted once we take action on him. However, if we could lure Remus somewhere else and have him assassinated, it would be a guaranteed success!”Skylar instantly agreed. “This is a good idea. Mr. Steele, let’s not go back and forth with that bastard Remus. We could just get a killer to assassinate him. By then, Ms. Lotus can’t do anything, even if she’s unhappy about it. What else could she do? Moreover, if we lure Remus to somewhere hidden and kill him, Ms. Lotus wouldn’t have any evidence that we did it!”John nodded. “It’s a great idea!”Leonard’s gaze became deep. He had thought of this idea but was worried that Jean would take revenge against him. On the surface, he didn’t seem scared, but he was panicking inside. The Lotus family might not give Jean a helping hand, but she would get married in the future. What if she asked
Jean and Remus had just returned to the Imperial villa when Jean's phone rang. "Dad, you're still awake at this hour?" Jean answered the call in confusion. Her dad had always paid great attention to his health, so he would be in bed around this time. Javier laughed, "I heard some good news about my daughter. How could I fall asleep without knowing? The guy you chose is good in medicine and created a pill worth ten billion in the market. My daughter, you have good taste!"Jean shuddered, and her eyes were red. This must be the second time her father praised her all her life. The last time was when she acquired Plot 140. Compared to that, they earned even more profits from this project.She was about to cry and said, "Dad, I didn't know you'd heard about it. I thought you must have been asleep by now. So, I had planned to tell you about it tomorrow.”Javier laughed, "Silly girl. You should always share your good news with me immediately. Even if I was asleep, I would wake up to 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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
