The president was a position that would be recorded in history and remembered for generations!However, Remus had no interest at all and chuckled. "I don't even have time to spend with my wife, let alone be the president of the country."After speaking, he opened the door and left.Right after he left, the office door opened again. Elmer walked in from outside, looking extremely disheveled. He appeared as if he had been caught in a downpour, drenched in sweat from fright.He said with difficulty, "Mr. President, being so honest with him is too risky. If he really intends to take action against you, no one will be able to stop him!"Elmer had been standing outside the door the whole time. When he heard Kaiser say that the golden light couldn't be used by one individual, his blood ran cold.Given Remus' disposition, who could predict what he might do next?Kaiser chuckled. "You all thought too narrowly about Remus, and so did I. He truly has no intention of becoming the president.
The conference room suddenly fell silent.Everyone felt upset, but they didn't dare to object. Miranda had Remus backing her up, after all.However, everyone exchanged glances, trying to figure out a way to get her to withdraw this rule. Needing her approval for a mere ten thousand dollars of expenses was really too troublesome."The second point is that starting today, all sponsorships within the Dragon Team will be handed over to the finance department for centralized management and distribution."This includes sponsorships received by different departments and teams."As soon as those words were spoken, everyone started talking at once."What?""Ms. Bowen, you can't!""This… This sponsorship is for all our departments!"Everyone became agitated at once. Needing Miranda's approval for their expenses of over ten thousand was still tolerable, especially considering they had sponsors.In the Dragon Team, they had members who were from influential families. These members brough
More protests rang out.Sweat trickled down Miranda's cheek. They were right—she wanted to control individuals within the team to better identify the other influences within the Dragon Team.It was also very clear that doing this carried significant risks, and even a small mistake could backfire. But she had no choice!Her expression darkened, and she said seriously, "Let me emphasize once more—this isn't a discussion but an announcement…""Miranda Bowen!"Before she could finish speaking, another deputy leader stood up angrily. "Don't forget that you're not the official leader. You're just the acting leader for now, so don't overstep!"Another captain also said, "That's right, you're not the official team leader yet. You need to learn to restrain yourself."Even though you have the mighty Thunderous God of War's backing, you can't just do whatever you want within the Dragon Team!"More and more people were speaking up. They were finding it harder to control their emotions.Ir
Although Marten said it casually, it sounded completely different to everyone listening.Marten was essentially helping himself by choosing everyone else's side!Someone instantly couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You might be impressive as an acting leader, Miranda, but what are you worth now that the real leader is back?"Others immediately started laughing as well, openly watching Miranda. Seeing the conflicted expression on her face, they felt very amused, and their gazes became increasingly teasing.Miranda didn't look at them, nor did she care about their opinions. What she cared most about was that the rule had to be enforced.If it couldn't be enforced, there would be no way to find out who was targeting Remus. There would be no way to find out who was targeting Kaiser, either!Right away, she said, "Mr. Dragon…"Marten slammed the conference table forcefully and said in a cold tone, "What's so funny? What are you all laughing at? This is a meeting. Keep it serious.
Elmer? He was the president's personal bodyguard. His presence often represented the president himself. Why was he here?Under everyone's gaze, Elmer said, "On the president's behalf, I'm here to announce a personnel appointment!"He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Starting today, the leader of the Dragon Team, Marten Dragon, will be transferred to another position. Miranda Bowen will be taking over as the new leader of the Dragon Team!"He spoke as he walked past Marten and approached Miranda, taking out an appointment letter."This is an appointment letter personally signed by the president. Congratulations, Ms. Bowen!"Hearing this, everyone in the meeting room was stunned.What was going on? Did they hear that wrong?Marten was transferred, and Miranda had become the leader of the Dragon Team. How was this even possible?Sure, Miranda was the acting leader, but it was unbelievable that she was now the official leader. Her promotion speed was beyond comprehension.
Everyone once again quieted down and even held their breath, feeling lost.No one moved. Instead, they all looked at each other in confusion. Eventually, their eyes involuntarily fell on Marten.The reason they dared to confront Miranda before primarily came down to two reasons.One was that she was just the acting leader, and no one knew if she would be made the official leader.Two was that even though she had the powerful Thunderous God of War backing her, even Remus could not act recklessly within the Dragon Team. There were rules to follow, and it was impossible to disregard them completely.But the reality seemed different from what they thought.Remus didn't care about the rules at all. He had the influence to promote her to the position of team leader and was even willing to approach the president to have him officially appoint her.It was no exaggeration to say that she now had the backing not just of Remus, but also the president.Who dared to defy her?The most cruc
The others nodded in agreement."You guys are unbelievable..." Marten's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.He was inwardly cursing them. These people were the ones protesting the loudest just a moment ago. Yet, now they were analyzing things to put Miranda in a good light. Did they have no shame?Was there really not a strong and spirited man in the Dragon Team who would step up and oppose her? Even if they didn't oppose her, they should still say her decision was unreasonable!At that moment, a team leader who worked in the office suddenly slammed the table, his face filled with anger.The sudden sound startled everyone. They quickly looked over, eyes wide with shock. Who would dare to slam the table at a time like this? Did they have a death wish?In contrast, Marten's eyes instantly regained their brightness, and a look of anticipation quickly spread across his face.This person's opposition proved that there were still people in the Dragon Team willing to take a stand!
Meanwhile, Remus had returned to the Cosby residence. Despite feeling extremely uneasy, he knew that whether it was a blessing or a disaster, he couldn't avoid it. He couldn't avoid them his whole life.It was the same scenario as before.They sat in the main hall, their eyes fixed intensely on Remus as he walked in from outside.The murderous intent emanating from them was unmistakable. If it could take physical form, he would have already been slashed a thousand times.Remus felt a tingle on his scalp from being stared at, but he could tolerate it.After all, there used to be five and then four girls, but now there were only three of them left, so it was somewhat easier.Remus cautiously walked into the main hall with a smile on his face. "Ladies, please don't look at me like that. It makes me nervous."I assure you that I will be by your side at every moment in the coming days, and I promise not to leave even for a second. If I break this promise…"He didn't know what to say
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. 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
