“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. Mr. Lawson, who h

    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

    When Remus folded his last finger…“Pfft…” Max vomited blood without any warning. He was sitting on the sofa, but after he vomited, he fell to the floor and fainted.All of the people were shocked by the scene. Then, it was chaos. Even Frank and Jean were dumbfounded.“Commander Baxton!”“Uncle Max!”“Quick! Call an ambulance immediately!”In just a few seconds, everyone in the reception room was utterly roused. Max Baxton was the provincial war commander. If something happened to him, it would incite mutiny in the war department, and the consequences could be disastrous.“It’s useless. Before the ambulance arrives, he’ll be dead,” Remus calmly said.Everyone looked at Remus simultaneously and noticed that he recognized that Max had a health issue.“Are you a doctor?” someone asked.“Guess.”“Can you save Commander Baxton?” another person asked.“Guess.” “I’m ordering you to save Commander Baxton now!” The mayor of Neptuna was suddenly angry. This was his territory, and h

    Frank, who had been silent, finally spoke. He was observing the situation to see if any changes would occur. However, it was unexpected that Remus was talented.The others remembered Remus commenting that Frank would rather die!Then, Frank slowly got up. "I'll leave with you two. Let's find another place to chat.""No need. I don't have time to chat," Remus directly refused. He wanted to chat with Jean privately. There was no time for him to consult patients. Plus, it was not like he treated anyone. Jean had a pleading look after hearing what Remus said. In the end, the three of them left together. Jean couldn't help but ask, "Remus, how did you know Uncle Max would…"It was miraculous, as he only took a look and noticed the problem. Furthermore, he could even estimate the exact time of death, which was unbelievable.Frank also listened. Over the years, he had met many talented doctors, but this was the first time he witnessed such a marvelous skill.Remus calmly laughed, "I

    Max was instantly even more furious. The others in the room flew into a rage. Remus angered Max to the point that he vomited blood. Why should Max thank him? How could someone be so shameless and even say the commander was an idiot?Jean panicked and could no longer hold Max back. "Remus Cosby! Stop talking and run while you can!"However, Remus did not run, and instead said, "Your stomach is damaged, so when you're angry, you'll feel a tightness in your chest. You will also experience dizziness and vomit blood. Moreover, your intestines are also damaged, so you have digestion problems. Because you smoke, there's some problem with your lungs. Also, your heart—sometimes it beats too fast and occasionally stops. Is everything I said right?"Suddenly, Max stopped struggling and was astonished. Due to his status, not many people knew about his health conditions. How did Remus know all of that so well?Remus glanced at Dent and calmly said, "Since you're such a talented doctor and you'v

    Jean laughed and sat up from the sofa. She looked serious and asked, “What’s happening? I think my illness is cured. I’m going to take a bath. Why don’t we…take it together? We can get clean while you treat my illness.”Remus could feel the blood in his body boiling, and something in him was about to lose control. Before he could answer, Jean stood up. “Your silence means rejection. I’m so sad. Fine, I’ll get clean myself then. Hey, you’re not allowed to peek, okay?”Then, she quickly went upstairs in her evening gown.Remus was left speechless. Only when she was gone did he remember about cancelling the marriage! At the same time, the news of Remus becoming Jean’s chosen business partner was spread across Neptuna. Everyone got the news and inquired about who Remus was.Ultimately, they all discovered that he had just finished his prison sentence! This discovery, however, disappointed everyone, and many secretly scolded Jean for being ignorant!Unfortunately, no one could chan

    On the second day, Remus went downstairs after washing up. He saw Jean wearing an apron in the kitchen, and she had prepared a bountiful breakfast.When Jean heard him coming down, she quickly sat down. “You’re awake? Quick, have breakfast. Then, you’ll have the energy to cure me. I feel like I’m coming down with another fever.”Remus was speechless and secretly cursed. Master Tyson said he wasn’t allowed to lose his virginity without permission!Remus sat opposite her and said, “Let’s not eat yet. I have something to tell you!”The marriage cancellation couldn’t be delayed. He still had six fiancées to deal with. Then, he had to return to prison and wait for Master Tyson. In other words, even if Jean was right before him, he couldn’t do anything before meeting his master.In reply, Jean gave him a cute response. She was sitting appropriately, but her gaze was flirty, and she was constantly blinking at him. When Remus met her gaze, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. Considerin

    When Kaiser heard this, he involuntarily trembled, not out of fear but because he was infuriated. It was clear from Wayne's tone that there was a strong sense of disdain, even outright contempt!The ten women also looked angry. The 1.4 billion citizens were silently clenching their fists. The previous grievances hadn't been avenged, and now they were showing off their power again. Did Wayne think he could treat the Mortal Realm however he wanted?Though Kaiser was upset, he couldn't express it. As the president, any impulsive decision would have to be borne by all the citizens, so it was crucial to proceed with caution.He replied, "Mr. Morrow, you should know that forcing something doesn't yield good results. If you try to force the outcome that the Upper Realms desire, it may backfire. Instead, consider easing up a bit, and you might achieve a different, perhaps better, outcome."If they couldn't fight back, they could only try to reach a compromise.However, what no one expecte

    "The emperor attacked from the outside, while Candace's attack came from within!"Remus paused once again. This time, he stayed silent for about 10 minutes before looking up at the sky with excitement and exclaiming, "I understand now!"The true sequence of events was like this: Candace did intend to kill me, and I was indeed on the verge of disappearing, but the Pathic Energies' protection prevented me from vanishing.""The truth is exactly what I initially thought. If I compare it to humans, my specter has been severed from my body but hasn't left it. It's more like my specter has been forcibly sealed within my body! That's it!"Although the conclusion reached was the same as initially, the evidence used to support it was completely different. It could be said that he had guessed correctly initially, but now it was confirmed as true!"If in the Mortal Realm, one can be revived if their specter merges with their body. So, right now, I should be able to wake up once I merge with m

    All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of

    With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st

    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.

    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
