Underhill Prison was renowned for housing notorious criminals, from political assassins to arms-manufacturing warlords.

Yet right now, those dangerous criminals were trying to be as quiet as possible in the cafeteria because Remus Cosby was having his meal amongst them.

“When will that damned old man finally come back for me?” he grumbled, picking at his food in distaste. “It’s been three years. Is he dead or something?”

Though he complained, he deeply missed Master Tyson, the old man who had taken him in when he was young.

He had dropped Remus off at this prison three years ago and told him to train here for the time being. Remus had even gotten excited. He had hoped that he would finally find worthy opponents in such a dangerous place.

However, he couldn’t have been more wrong in that judgment, as he had beaten nearly everyone in less than 24 hours.

Remus had gotten bored after enduring three years of this.

“Boss, someone’s here to see you!” a warden reported while rushing into the hall.

Was the old man finally here for him? Remus immediately got up and headed to the visitors’ room, pushing up his sleeves. He was ready to show the man exactly what he had mastered over the last few years.

But he skidded to a stop when he saw a woman in the room instead. She was beautiful and tall, and she was dressed in office wear. She was a traditionally attractive woman.

“Were you asking for me?” Remus asked. He didn’t remember seeing her before.

She looked him up and down, contempt clear in her eyes.

“My name is Kylie Cox, and I’m your fiancée. My outfit costs 16 thousand dollars, not including this necklace which is worth at least one million dollars. I also have a house that is over 30 million dollars in value. I’m sure you can’t afford to give me anything like this.” She looked away, acting high and mighty.

Remus replied flatly, “I wasn’t planning on it anyway, you’re getting ahead of yourself.”

Buying all that was a piece of cake. After all, he had saved up quite a hefty sum in the three years he had spent here. Almost all the prisoners paid him monthly just to avoid a beating.

Kylie’s eyes immediately darkened. “So you plan on being a kept man after getting released?”

She realized that voluntarily coming here to dissolve their arranged marriage had been the right thing to do. How could a bum like him ever deserve her?

Remus was getting annoyed with her attitude. If she weren’t a woman, he’d have taught her a lesson by now. “How do you know if I’ll be released?”

“You…gah!” Kylie fumed. “I’m a successful businesswoman while you’re nothing but a bum stuck in prison. It’s clear we don’t belong together, so just give me our marriage agreement right now, and I’ll make sure we never see each other again. But I’ll be kind with my demands: you can have three conditions fulfilled in exchange. I can even arrange a compassionate release for you if you want.”

Kylie thought that this would be more than enough to compensate him. Prisoners longed for their freedom most, right?

“No thanks.” Remus didn’t want to waste his breath on her any longer, especially with her high-and-mighty attitude. Still, he was aware of the agreement she was talking about. His master had given it to him in a box when he first came here.

He asked a warden to bring it to him. When it arrived, he gave the woman an apologetic smile. “I’m not sure if you’re in here, by the way. If it’s not, we can just pretend this never happened.”

Kylie scoffed. Pretend this never happened? So he was trying to keep this arranged marriage going? In his dreams!

“Even if it isn’t, I’m still calling off this marriage!”

Just then, Kylie finally saw the contents of the box. There wasn’t just one marriage agreement in there—there were, in fact, nine.

A specific name even caught her attention, making her jaw drop: Miranda Bowen.

Miranda Bowen was Neptuna’s number one socialite, and she was an heiress to one of the most powerful families in the city!

“Found it.” Remus pulled out a piece of paper with Kylie’s name on it.

Kylie took it, suppressing her shock. “Are you in here for committing fraud?”

How else would he have so many marriage agreements? Kylie could only imagine all the women this man had lied to and cheated on.

Remus rolled his eyes and left the room without another word. Back in his cell, he stared at the marriage agreements grumpily. He had thought these were just some prank all this while. After all, who would want to be married to nine people at the same time?

But Kylie Cox’s appearance had permanently changed that impression.

“If anyone else comes in here about this again…” Remus grunted, shaking his head. Then, he thought, “What if I go and dissolve these agreements before they do?”

What a great idea!

Remus left his cell immediately. Box in hand, he went all the way to the head office by the entrance.

With a kick, he sent the towering metal gate flying open before marching out.

None of the onlooking wardens minded him, recalling how he had done the same thing three years ago when he first arrived.

Remus examined his surroundings, then remembered that Underhill was hundreds of miles away from any decent cities. Traveling to any of them on foot would be extremely tiring.

Just then, the chief warden ran up to him.

“Boss, are you leaving?”

Remus cocked his head. “Can’t I?”

The warden immediately shook his head. “Of course, you can. Leave whenever you please, boss! I just wanted to ask if we can start serving lunch now.”

He couldn’t wait for Remus to leave because once he did, he could reclaim authority over the prison.

“Sure. Whatever.” Remus shrugged. “Oh, get me a taxi, would you? I need to go to…”

He glanced at one of the marriage agreements before continuing. “Neptuna.”

Neptuna was where Miranda Bowen lived.

Five hours later, Remus boarded a flight to Neptuna.

“Small world.” He immediately noticed Kylie Cox sitting in first class, a little ways away.

She saw him too. “You’ve been released?”

Remus didn’t want to waste time explaining everything to her, so he just said, “Yup.”

No wonder he didn’t accept her offer of getting him a compassionate release. She scowled. “Let me say this again. We come from two different worlds, and we’ll never be together, so just give up now and get off the plane!”

Why else would he be on the same flight as her right after getting out of prison?

“You should really get your brain checked.” Remus rolled his eyes, then closed them to rest. It wasn’t like she owned this airplane.

“You-!” Kylie gnashed her teeth. He wasn’t just a bum; he was a jerk, too?

With one last glare, she tore her gaze away. It was too crowded to cause a scene right now.

They soon arrived at Neptuna’s airport. Kylie swiftly went up to Remus and warned, “You better not stalk me, Mr. Cosby, or I’ll show you just what I’m capable of in this city.”

With that, she stormed to the exit. Yet before she could step off the plane, a stewardess stopped her.

“My apologies, miss, but the airport is currently on standby to wait for a VVIP to exit the plane. Please wait here for the time being,” she explained.

Excitement flared in Kylie’s eyes. Neptuna had not gone to lengths like this for a big shot before, so she was really curious about who it was.

The other guests on the flight were just as surprised. The airport was on standby?

What kind of VVIP would be gracing them with their presence?

The stewardess then made her way to a seat and said respectfully, “Apologies for making you wait, Mr. Cosby. You may step off the plane now.”

    All eyes instantly turned to Remus. Even Kylie’s bugged out of her head.How did this prison bum suddenly become a VVIP even people in Neptuna respected?“Me?” Remus frowned. He didn’t remember having any connections in Neptuna.“Yes, sir.” The stewardess beamed. “This way, please.”Remus got up and left the plane cabin with a shrug, ignoring everyone’s awe-filled gazes. The moment he stepped on solid land, a tall, muscular man came up to greet him.“Anthony Mark, head of the Thirteenth Sect of Draculus Magna, at your service, Mr. Cosby. Welcome to Neptuna!” he said, bowing low.Neptuna’s citizens were taken aback by this sight. Anthony Mark was none other than Neptuna’s underworld warlord known as the Dragon Head.Of course, they only knew that identity. This was the first they’d heard of Draculus Magna.Remus remembered now. One of his bootlickers in prison once told him about this guild. Apparently, he was its founder, too. The chief warden must have let news of his arrival

    Adeptus Gale’s face nearly collided with the piece of paper. His embarrassment was swiftly channeled into rage. “You…how dare y-wait, marriage…agreement?”He gaped at the words in shock.“Marriage agreement? What are you talking about?” The young man by Elias’ side came up to study the paper himself, his jaw dropping in the next second.In sickness and in health…till death do us part…Groom: Remus Cosby.Bride: Miranda Bowen.Elias quickly joined them. “This…so Father had been telling the truth?”Before his father passed, he had told Elias of an arranged marriage for Miranda. Elias hadn’t taken it seriously, given that arranged marriages were no longer a thing nowadays. There was also a chance the groom had forgotten about it, too.The crowd began wondering if this was the man Miranda had been waiting for.Remus tucked the paper back into his box. “How old did you say you were when you started honing your skills, sir? I might have misheard you just now.”Adeptus Gale’s face w

    The guests murmured in surprise. Arresting a criminal?Kylie nodded vigorously, telling them everything that had happened at the airport. She felt confident about her judgment, that she wouldn’t have to deal with Remus Cosby anymore. She even pitied him a bit. The man had escaped from prison just to meet her again, but the price of that was likely another decade in jail.“Oh, so it was just some hooligan. There I was, already preparing myself for Ms. Lotus.” Abel Lawson relaxed instantly.Since that was the case, he still had time to plan.Someone jumped at the opportunity to butter him up. “That hooligan should be taught a lesson for making Mr. Lawson worry like this.”“I’ll have my police friends find out where he’s being held and have someone break his legs!”“I have connections in prison, too. I’ll make sure that he’s taken care of every single day!”Hearing all the discussions, Kylie pitied Remus even more. Remus’ remaining days in prison didn’t sound too good. But in any c

    This was the Bowen family’s butler, Mr. Anderson! He was the one who always received Abel in Elias Bowen’s house.“Mr. Anderson!” Abel ran up to greet him. “What brings you here?”“Afternoon, Mr. Anderson!”“Good day, sir.”Several other people piped up.The butler didn’t spare them a glance. Instead, he walked up to Remus and said respectfully, “I apologize for all this hostility. I’ll make sure everything is settled accordingly here.”He then turned to Kylie, barking, “How dare you insult and threaten Mr. Bowen’s esteemed guest?”Kylie flinched, staring unseeingly at the ground in shock.Beside her, the men looked around, confused. Elias Bowen’s guest? Wasn’t Remus an escaped criminal?“Apologize to Mr. Cosby right now, or you’ll regret it!” the butler barked again.Kylie’s face had paled drastically. In Neptuna, the Cox family was no match for the Bowen family. Their butler alone could sentence her to death, and no one could raise a finger in protest!Kyle was at a loss f

    The Dragon Head?Elias and Brianne glanced at each other in shock upon hearing that name. Of course, they knew who he was and how influential he was in the city’s underground dealings. But what was he doing here of all places?“Welcome him inside right now!” Elias ordered. Yes, he was the richest man in the city, but he still couldn’t risk offending Anthony Mark, given his position.“Just in time. Maybe your friend knows the Dragon Head, hm?” Brianne mocked Remus once more. Most of the prisoners from Neptuna were disciples of the Dragon Head’s guild, after all. Remus’ friends might even turn tail upon seeing his boss!“Heh,” was Remus’ response. It pissed Brianne off to no end. Even Elias ground his teeth for a bit after hearing that. They were going to enjoy seeing the Dragon Head put him in his place.Just then, Mr. Anderson led Anthony in. Elias immediately greeted him with a smile. “Lady Luck has graced us with your presence, Mr. Dragon Head.”“Welcome, sir,” Brianne greeted

    Wasn’t this the Working Emperor’s villa?Could she…could she be that sugar baby the man had kept around?Remus thought it might be possible. She seemed like one of those mistresses left alone without their lover.“You could live here too,” she purred, rubbing Remus’ chest. “Why don’t you go upstairs first, hm? I’ll be right there, and then we can enjoy ourselves properly.”This was the first time a woman had touched Remus. His heart felt like it might explode. He silently cursed the Working Emperor for letting this happen. He peeled away from her touch and dashed upstairs, heading right into the shower.“Hmm…” The woman laughed, then called out, “Remember to wash yourself clean and wait for me in bed!”In the next second, her expression fell, and she used her phone to order several guards to come wait in the living room. They were all dressed in tunics lined with gold.“Miss!” they greeted politely, standing in line. She had already put on modest clothes by this time. “A man s

    Remus’ body began to react illogically. He leapt away from her, clasping the quilt tightly around his torso. “Stay back!”Curse that old man, Tyson!Jean burst into laughter at his silliness. “Haha, you’re adorable! Lucky for you, I don’t bite. But hey, why don’t you join me for an event this evening? You can’t refuse. Think of it as repayment for beating up my guards.” Remus agreed. He didn’t have any plans in Neptuna tonight. “So can you leave now?”“Nope,” Jean teased. “I still want to sleep with you. Come over here and let me feel you…”Remus swiftly escaped from her grasp and left the room.He later went to Neptunus Equestrian Race Tracks. (Might as well. He didn’t want to risk losing his virginity back at Imperial Villa, and he had nowhere else to go.)“Did you hear that Ms. Lotus is hosting a press conference tonight?”“I heard she had come to Neptuna weeks ago to secretly observe the market and potential partners here. She’ll be announcing who she chose as her partner

    Everyone glanced at each other in confusion.Honor their losing promises? Was Remus admitting defeat?Miranda thought Remus was going that route too, given he probably didn’t know how to ride a horse. He’d stayed for two million but left yesterday when he was offered one million. So he was greedy!Just then…“Heee-!” With a loud neigh, Ben’s prize horse jumped back on its hind legs, then began bucking, as if in distress.The crowd stepped back in shock. What was happening to the horse?Ben had nearly fallen off with the first buck. He gaped in shock at the horse he had tamed three years ago.He clasped onto the reins and snapped his whip, yelling, “Whoa, easy, easy! I still need to win that race! Stop it!”But the horse only bucked fiercer the more Ben whipped it.Remus smirked. He had learned to ride tigers and bears in the forests while training under his master’s tutelage. Horses were a piece of cake.He snapped his fingers once again. This time the horse bucked with all f

    Based on the analysis, this was indeed the case. Remus had been gone for so long, and the fact that Tyson, as his mentor, hadn't shown up yet was quite unusual. So, what was he planning?Just as everyone was speculating, Francis suddenly spoke up. "Amez is coming with Amelicon's deities."Everyone suddenly turned to look at him, their eyes widening uncontrollably. Did he just say Amez was about to arrive?Even though they already knew they would be coming, hearing it directly from Francis was still quite shocking.Francis ignored their expressions and continued, "So, no matter what the Monarch's mentor is plotting, it no longer matters. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get through the present situation."Everyone else's expression became serious. Francis' words made sense.Bringing up Tyson was merely a distraction from their argument about the Three Realms' ruler. While it was important to investigate what Tyson was planning, it was less significant comp

    "It can only be me!" Francis immediately added.As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked at Roman. Since none of them were eligible to compete, Francis' comments were directed solely at him. How would he respond?Roman's expression changed, and he was unsure of how to respond. If he acknowledged Francis, wouldn't that mean admitting defeat, rendering all his previous efforts futile? Additionally, it was embarrassing.But if he refused to acknowledge Francis, his current capabilities just didn't allow it. There was no way for him to win against Francis at the moment. What should he do?After a moment of reflection, he replied, "With external threats looming, it's too early to consider this issue. We don't even know if we can withstand the current challenge. If we manage to get through it, there's still time to think about that later."He could only delay the matter now.Francis said calmly, "It's precisely because we are facing external threats that there

    Finally, Roman crashed against the giant blade, and a sudden loud boom rang out.Then, something completely unexpected happened—the massive blade suddenly shattered like glass. Countless fragments scattered through the air like shooting stars, flying a short distance away before disappearing completely.As for Roman, he remained in the same spot where the massive blade used to be, completely unharmed.Roman burst into an exaggerated and unprecedented laugh, echoing continuously through the space."Why did this happen?""Could it be that the emperor has had a secret plan all along?""But the emperor wasn't protected by any energy. He shouldn't have been able to shatter the giant blade.""Why..."The four ghost kings were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They knew very well just how terrifying the blade was.Perhaps in their prime, they might have been able to withstand it, but in their current state, they couldn't even be sure they could dodge it. Yet, Roman did

    Even at this point, Roman still couldn't believe Francis would truly act against him.His reasoning was still the same—he didn't believe Francis would just stand by and watch as Darsia was destroyed and its people perish. He didn't believe Francis would simply watch this land be devastated and taken over by outsiders!"Of course!" Francis responded succinctly, and as soon as these words were spoken, the blade started dropping down on Roman.The ghost kings' expressions drastically changed, filled with terror in an instant, forgetting to even fight back.On the other hand, Roman knew he had to defend himself but continued to persevere, not believing that Francis would go to such extremes.But at that moment, Kaiser shouted from below, "Wait!"Kaiser had witnessed the entire scene and was already completely stunned by the suddenness of everything. He was momentarily in a daze, but when he saw the giant blade descending, he realized that if he didn't speak up now, it would be too la

    Hearing these straightforward words, Roman, the four ghost kings, and Kaiser were all stunned. They couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Why would Amez help him recover? The implications behind this fact were hugely problematic."Why… Why did he help you recover?" Roman still asked.The ghost kings were trembling more and more noticeably. Kaiser also began to shake uncontrollably because he already had a bad feeling about the situation.Francis openly stated, "Because I promised to be his inside contact for attacking Darsia, making it easier for him to take over this land. Do you think there's any other reason he would help me?"Francis burst into laughter, one that was openly and extremely mocking, deeply disdainful.The four ghost kings stepped back simultaneously upon hearing these words, driven by a mix of fear, but also because it was an uncontrollable reaction.To be honest, just facing Francis alone was already beyond their capabilities. Even more daunting was the

    Roman and the four ghost kings were in the process of recharging their energy in the sky. Below them, Candace continued spacing out.Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm, Kaiser and Remus' partners were secretly searching for Tyson while simultaneously managing production.As days went by, the general public remained unaffected because they were unaware of the impending crisis. Instead, they were excited about the expansion of the country's territory and the stability in society.A week had gone by. Although there hadn't been any news from abroad, and everything seemed calm, Roman and Kaiser knew that this was simply the calm before the storm.On the eighth day, something was finally happening outside of Darsia.Roman suddenly opened his eyes, and the four ghost kings did the same. They could sense a powerful energy coming from outside the domain, rushing toward them and about to reach the lower border, which forced them to be on high alert.Even Candace showed up voluntarily, looking

    When Kaiser heard this, he was completely stunned, looking at Candace in astonishment. It felt like a glimmer of hope had formed in his heart.Indeed, Remus had a mentor who provided him with the marriage contracts. In theory, Tyson arranged everything for Remus. But why had he never appeared since Remus' release from prison? It didn't make sense!Could he have died? Was it possible for someone like him? That didn't make sense, either! So Tyson was definitely somewhere out there. Could he be the key to saving Darsia?Noticing Kaiser was taking a long time to respond, Candace's expression turned serious. "You have to find this person, no questions asked! This is an order!"Her tone was very serious, as if she would immediately attack if Kaiser dared say no.Kaiser glanced at her but didn't pay much attention to her tone. Although he hadn't interacted with her before, he was aware she was a demon and couldn't be judged with normal human logic. Besides, with Darsia's current situatio

    The ghost kings and Kaiser looked over at the same time.Roman gazed into the distance and resolutely added, "I understand him. Even though he hates everyone in the Three Realms, he was once our ruler. His love for these realms surpasses anyone else's."No matter how much he hates us, there's no way he'd stand by and watch outsiders trample this land. He would never betray us!"Hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was indeed a reason that couldn't be argued against, but it remained at the level of belief without any tangible evidence to back it up. It sounded too feeble and hollow.They really wanted to believe Roman's words, but they weren't sure how to put their faith in them.Roman also understood their thoughts and didn't explain further. He simply said, "Begin meditating to restore your energy as quickly as possible. Regardless of the outcome, we must not let anyone trample Darsia's Three Realms."With that, he was the first to sit cross-legged in the air.The four ghost

    After returning to Darsia, Kaiser had been looking around, but in the end, he couldn't find any trace of Francis.Upon hearing the words "Celestial Sovereign", everyone instantly tensed up.In truth, they all wanted to ask the same question, aware that Francis hadn't returned. However, due to their strained relationship with Francis, everyone avoided mentioning him. A mix of fear, apprehension, and indecision kept them from addressing it directly.But now that Kaiser had raised the question, they had no choice but to confront it."Not yet!" Roman responded slowly.Kaiser immediately frowned, saying, "In theory, the Celestial Sovereign left first and should have been the first to return. Why hasn't he come back yet?"These words were blurted out, but Kaiser realized they were inappropriate as soon as they were spoken. Everyone was in Darsia and had no way of knowing what was happening across the ocean, so it was natural that they didn't know why Francis hadn't returned."Perhaps
