A painful scream sounded from the video, and Leonard’s face turned pale. Skylar laughed evilly. “Ben must’ve been worried that Remus wouldn’t listen to your orders, so he was even more cruel to her. But don’t you worry, Mr. Steele. We’re only targeting the enemy with the sharpest spear. However, we’re most loyal to you!”“It was Leonard Steele! He was the one who instructed me to do this! Let me go, please. I’m begging you!” Ben’s scream came from the phone again. Skylar shuddered and almost peed himself. What was his son doing? How could he betray Leonard? Did he want to die? He quickly looked at the phone screen.He froze when he laid his eyes on the phone. Ben was tied to the chair, naked. There were thousands of ants by his feet, and it looked scary. These ants slowly crawled onto him, and they stopped on his genitals. Soon, the video got too bloody to watch. Remus had his own way of dealing with scum.“Ben? Son?” Skylar yelled in shock. He couldn’t care less and rushed ou
She was alert, and she seemed to be looking for a weapon. Seeing her reaction, Remus only smiled. Although he didn’t know how bad he looked right now, he knew he looked pretty ugly. Therefore, it was normal that she didn’t recognize him.So, Remus answered, “I’m Remus Cosby. I’m glad you’re okay.”“Remus Cosby?” Jean’s vigilance only increased. However, she suddenly laughed and said coquettishly, “You cheeky bastard. You’re too anxious. I’m dirty and covered in sweat. I’ll go take a shower, so wait for me.”Then, she walked out of the door. After that, she rushed downstairs as she didn’t know who Remus was and needed help. Unfortunately, the moment she ran out of the villa, she saw her bodyguards on the ground.“Ah!” She screamed in shock.“Jean!” Remus heard her scream and rushed over. However, he felt dizzy and fainted. When he woke up again, he was tied to a chair, and a row of people was sitting before him.Jean sat in the middle while Leonard, Skylar, and John sat beside her
Remus glared at them and coldly said, “You guys are asking for it!”When Skylar and John met Remus’ gaze, they quickly retreated as if he was the Grim Reaper. However, they promptly returned to normal, knowing that Jean had forgotten about Remus. Now, Remus was a useless bastard.This meant that Remus couldn’t do anything to them, no matter how badly they tortured him now. “How dare you threaten us! Open your eyes and look around you. Who is asking for it, huh?” Skylar said as he whipped Remus.“You’re about to die, and you dared to threaten us. Fine! Let’s see how stubborn you are.” John continued whipping him too.They gave him a dozen whips in succession, and Remus’ body was soon covered with bloody wounds.Leonard felt extremely happy as they were teaching Remus a lesson right in front of Jean, who used to protect him. Now, she couldn’t even remember him.“Stop!” Jean saw that Remus remained silent and finally spoke. “I’ll give you one more chance. Who ordered you to kill m
Everyone’s faces turned pale at this sight. Skylar quickly retreated as if he was looking at his biggest enemy. John’s legs buckled, and he fell to the ground while Leonard shuddered. They used the strongest rope in the country to tie Remus up. Remus actually tore it apart. Was he even human?Naomi was dumbfounded while Jean looked at him warily.Remus said, “However, I will never hurt you. My only goal is to protect you.”Then, he stood up and looked at Skylar and John. “Did you have fun whipping me?”The reason why Remus didn’t break free earlier was because it wasn’t convenient to talk just now. On the other hand, he wished to jog Jean’s memory with his pitiful state. Unfortunately, it failed.“I-I…” Skylar was so scared that he stuttered. Then, he continued, “Remus Cosby! You should take a look at your status now. No one can protect you now. If you dare to even touch me, I’ll make sure that you get tortured to death!”“Is that so?” Remus’ expression was indifferent, and he
At the same time, the news of Jean’s memory loss was spreading across Neptuna, creating a huge buzz. The second news was that Remus tried to assassinate Jean and was chased out of her house.Just as everyone was trying to digest the two pieces of shocking news, it was said that Jean’s new business partner was Ben Stuart. For a while, Neptuna was in a state of chaos. At this time, Remus came to Draculus Court. “Mr. Cosby!” Anthony was in his wheelchair when he came out to welcome Remus. Then, he angrily complained, “I heard about the news. Just say the word. I’ll get my men to kill Skylar and John!”Anthony was clueless about what had happened but believed that Remus was framed.Remus shook his head and entered the private room. “You don’t have to care about this matter. How’s the progress on the Midnight Opal?”After he changed Jean’s fate, he would have all the time in the world to play with those guys. Anthony was embarrassed. He said apologetically, “We don’t have any news
Remus didn’t want to speak if he could use force. It was a waste of time to deal with useless people like him. This was just too easy for Remus to solve.Sean’s mind went blank, and he felt as if Remus was a monster. He had been waiting patiently, enduring, and practicing hard for ten years just for this moment. However, he was subdued before he saw what move Remus had used. How could he even take revenge now?Even Anthony was dumbfounded as he was afraid of Sean. The reason was that the outsiders didn’t know the whole truth of what had happened back then. When he had chased Sean down and surrounded him with two hundred people, Sean had injured around forty people!That was why Anthony had an inexplicable fear of Sean. When he saw Remus take action, he suddenly remembered he was now under him and that Remus could even get the Temple Lord to wash his face with toilet water. Remus was the supreme boss!Suddenly, Anthony became excited as he felt that with Remus there, he would not
"Is he very powerful?" Remus asked casually."Yes, he is!" Anthony nodded before he continued. "In Daviau, only five people can defeat him!""Ask him to come here, and I'll help you deal with him too. As for you, just focus on finding the Midnight Opal. I want it as soon as possible," Remus said.Remus had never heard of the term Grandmaster. However, he just exerted a bit of force, and Sean deemed him a Grandmaster. From that, he considered that Grandmasters might just be weaklings. Anthony was speechless. However, Sean secretly sneered, thinking that Remus was too young. His master had been a famous Grandmaster for eighteen years, and no one ever dared to challenge him. Remus was all too arrogant, in his opinion. Then, he tentatively asked, "Grandmaster Cosby, you're looking for the Midnight Opal? I heard that the Sturwad Treasure Studio would be holding an auction tonight. A Midnight Opal will be auctioned, and it was a queen's treasure back in the day. It's the size of an eg
Kylie walked out of the Lotus Group in a trance. Then, tears rolled down her face. She was extremely aggrieved. She cried because she needed to think about her family's future and also because Remus had escaped. Later, Ben arrived at Vespa Villa."Ben! You're here. Come in!""Ben, you seem to be much more spirited today. Haha." Elias and Brianna welcomed him into the house and quickly flattered him. They had planned to rely on Remus, but no one expected such a thing to happen. Although they thought Remus must be framed, they had no evidence. But now, Ben had both Ms. Lotus' and the Steeles' support. No one in Neptuna would dare to go against him. Ben raised his chin and said, "Stop with the nonsense. Weren't you two very nice to Remus last night? Why the sudden change? I have to say that you guys are cheaper than a fencesitter!"Elias and his wife were furious and wanted to slap Ben. However, they dared not do it, as Leonard had given out an order that whoever dared to tell
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
