Remus suddenly froze, feeling annoyed by the question. But at the same time, his heartbeat quickened. Upon reflection, he realized that Ana didn't seem to have wronged him.The most serious issue they had was Ana breaking off the engagement. When he asked her to leave with him at the Dragon Protector Clan, she refused.Other than that, there was only the remaining threat at the Cosbys'.Ana said, "What really upset you was the way the Dragon Protector Clan treated you and my rejection at the end."But if you ask yourself honestly, I'm just a member of the Dragon Protector Clan. I'm not the one who can truly determine how to deal with you, and I wasn't involved!"Besides, I'm also human and have my own feelings. Back then, we only just met a few days ago, so how could I betray my family for you?"I sympathize with and understand you, yes. But none of this justifies betraying my family! If you were in my shoes, could you do it?"Remus felt his heart rate speed up again. She wasn't
In an instant, the taste of blood filled Remus' mouth.Remus felt a surge of anger. What exactly was this woman trying to do?He wanted to push Ana away forcefully, but it was no longer possible. She was biting down very hard, and if he tried to forcefully push her away, it was likely his lip would be torn off.He considered using energy discharge, but it wasn't a very realistic solution.The essence of energy discharge was wrapping his energy around the surface of his skin. However, Ana's teeth had already sunk into the flesh, making it impossible to defend against."Let go!" Remus demanded, but his speech was unclear because Ana was still biting on his lip.Ana's eyes were wide and filled with determination. She suddenly leaned back and fell onto the bed.Connected by the lips, Remus also fell with her. Part of it was because his neck was grabbed by Ana, but more importantly, his lip was bitten."Why are you pretending?" Ana finally spoke, her eyes revealing a complete transf
Remus knew about Eva and Ana's rivalry, but why use such a method? Wouldn't using this method hurt Eva more than Ana?After all, many things in life would happen only once. Once they were gone, they could never be recovered.Had Eva gone crazy?While Remus was deep in thought, Eva's expression suddenly changed. With a playful tone, she said, "Are you particularly happy right now, feeling a sense of accomplishment?"Don't you think that winning over a pair of twins has made you the biggest winner in life? But too bad it will only happen once in your life… Now die!"She practically yelled the last two words, her face twisted in anger. She suddenly pushed Remus down.Remus' mind was still blank, and he was completely unprepared. He fell to the ground, his eyes still wide with shock.Eva sat up instantly, grabbed the bedsheet to cover herself, and looked down. She said, "Mr. Cosby, are you feeling sore and numb all over? Do you feel like your heart is racing and just won't slow down
Eva felt a rush of blood to her head. Her vision went black for a moment, and she nearly fainted.Before coming, she had made meticulous plans and used every possible means. But in the end, the poison didn't have any effect on Remus.This result was so ridiculous that it was simply unbelievable. How could it end like this?She felt as if her heart was being pierced by a thousand arrows, filled with endless regret. Following the regret came a flood of immense anger.She came here to avenge her sister by killing Remus. Failing now would mean losing everything."I'll kill you!"She suddenly summoned all her strength, as if she wanted to unleash all the power she had accumulated throughout her life in that moment.But it was a pity that many things were beyond human control. The gap between their strengths was too large to be bridged by anger alone.If that were the case, then Remus wouldn't have needed to be hunted down in Monington, nor would he have needed to beg desperately at
Remus frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"Eva choked up as she said, "Because your relationship was exposed, Grandfather got angry and locked her up. We don't know how long he'll keep her there."She's had a serious cleanliness obsession since she was little and loves to keep things tidy. Being in that kind of environment is unbearable for her."Can you go save her, please? Get her out of there."Remus instinctively asked, "Where is she locked up?""At the Cosby residence!"When Remus heard those words, his frown deepened. "Why did they lock her up at the Cosby residence? In that kind of environment?""Yes, in the Cosby residence's side courtyard, on the Island of the Monarch!" Eva, on the verge of breaking down, explained, "After you left, Grandpa wanted to flatten the Cosby residence and make them completely disappear."But Serg suggested turning the Cosby residence into a wasteland. Now, all the trash on the Island of Monarch is being dumped there. It's not fit for anyone
Remus saw that Eva was about to fall and quickly caught her in time. Although he caught her, there wasn't a trace of impure thoughts.To be honest, his mind was in turmoil. Despite Kylie and the others calling him a jerk, Remus had never had improper thoughts about any woman other than his fiancées—not even once.Husan didn't count. They shared a lifelong bond, and she was someone who would go through hardship and joy with him.There were also Gemma, Gabriela's deputy Valerie, Silver, Selina, and many others. He could have them if he wanted, but he had never thought about it!After all, he still considered himself a person with principles.However, the situation with Eva was truly unexpected and surprising. Firstly, there was no emotional attachment. Even if it was about saving his mother, Ana alone would have been sufficient.Unfortunately, it had already happened."You're nothing like your sister. You're just so spoiled!" Remus sighed and remarked that a normal woman wouldn't
After Dillon finished speaking, he finally stopped about 100 yards away from Remus.Dillon Hull?Remus frowned, thinking he had never heard of the name. His body was coursing with energy, and he gritted his teeth, suggesting, "Shall we go somewhere else?"If they fought at this altitude, regardless of winning or losing, Imperial Villa was likely to be completely destroyed, and Jean and Husan's safety could not be guaranteed."There's no need!" Dillon spoke calmly, his eyes deeply contemplative as he looked at Remus.He shook his head. "It's a pity. I originally wanted to fight you at your peak, but seeing your current state, you seem to be only at half of your peak condition."Winning against you like this wouldn't be a fair victory. What a pity!"Remus tried to stay calm as he slowly laid Eva down. There was no place to put her down, so he had to leave her on a rooftop.After that, Remus asked, "Are you from the Rose family?"While speaking, he quietly began to gather their s
"Wait!" Remus suddenly spoke.Originally, he was all set to strike first for the upper hand. But, after hearing Dillon's last sentence, his spiritual energy and fighting spirit suddenly withdrew.Is the "her" Dillon mentioned Eva?When Dillon heard Remus asking him to wait, he stopped his attack. A slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of satisfaction.He certainly still intended to kill Remus, but if he could find out the whereabouts of the Cosby Army first, that would be even better.It seemed like Remus was about to speak now. If Dillon could get this information, it would be a significant achievement.Remus suddenly spoke in shock, "Are you saying you want to kill her?"Dillon said coldly, "Do I need to demonstrate?""No need!" Remus quickly responded, feeling a chill in his heart.It seemed like he might have had a misunderstanding regarding Eva. If tonight was a trap, how could Dillon possibly target Eva?He quickly descended and stood next
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. 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
