Her words made Ben’s face flush with embarrassment. He thought, “Yes, Jean didn’t need my permission. However, if they get along and Jean regains her memory, what should I do then?” Then, Remus said, “Ben Stuart, do you remember what I said to you at the hotel? This is just the start. From now on, I’ll make you lose slowly.” Ben suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He nervously asked, “What are you going to do? Don’t you dare mess around with me!” Remus ignored him. Instead, he lowered his head and said, “From now on, reply to my questions honestly. I’ll add salt water to the whip if you dare to lie!” Professor Fred, who was kneeling, shuddered. “Father, don’t beat me! I’ll tell you everything! I won’t lie!” Remus asked, “Why did Ben want to hypnotize Jean? Did he want to cure her illness?” He didn’t believe Ben would be so kind as to help Jean recover her memory. Moreover, hypnosis couldn’t help with that. If it could, this method would be promoted to the world. “Pr
Remus felt unwilling to leave. He lowered his head to interrogate Professor Ned again. “Tell them who her real business partner is.”Professor Ned looked up and answered honestly, “Of course, it’s you, Father…” “Shut up!” Suddenly a voice sounded, and it was Jean.She looked at Remus and said coldly, “Get out of my sight right now! I don’t want to hear anything you say! Captain Fred, get him out of here!” Instantly, Captain Fred ran to block Remus and pointed at the door. “Leave right now. Otherwise, I’ll throw you out.”Ben smiled victoriously as he didn’t believe this would have such a dramatic ending.Remus took in a deep breath, nodded, and left. Since things had reached this point, he didn’t want to agitate Jean anymore. Seeing that Remus was about to leave, Ben said to Jean, “Ms. Lotus, I knew you were smart. If it wasn’t for your keen eye, he would have deceived you.” Jean smiled and said, “I’m not easy to fool.” Then, she said, “I’m tired. There are many things fo
In the backyard of Tiger Roost Estate, there was a pavilion and an artificial pond. "Why are you looking for me?" Remus sat on the stone bench and asked disinterestedly. He couldn't wrap his mind around why Jean would want him to leave after he had given her such clear answers. If he wanted to change her fate, he needed her cooperation. Now, it was difficult to even get her trust. Scarlet wore a black dress and respectfully made tea. She might be the leader of the most secret organization in Neptuna, but she dared not act arrogantly in the face of Remus. After all, Scott Miller kneeled before him in the past.After she was done making tea, she passed a cup to Remus and laughed. "Mr. Cosby, I heard that things haven't been going smoothly for you. So, I've invited you to the estate to help you relax. I don't only have an interesting nightclub here, but I also have a slow-paced lifestyle. There's a natural hot spring in the room. If you feel like relaxing, I can arrange for you to
Scarlet saw his excitement and bit her lip. “Mr. Cosby, why don’t you take a soak in the hot spring, and I’ll explain in detail?” Remus thought momentarily and said, “I just want a normal soak. If you dare do anything fishy, I won’t forgive you.”Scarlet’s eyes instantly lit up. “Okay!”At a random bar in Neptuna, the business was booming. Ben walked in and was excited after making a plan with his father. He had to quickly eliminate Remus. If not, he would feel uneasy. “Mr. Stuart, you’re here!”“Mr. Stuart, it’s been a long time! Do you remember me? I’m Gillian. We met once last year.” “Mr. Stuart, I’m the heir to Grindle Group. I hope you can support my business in the future!” A group of people rushed to him and was eager to flatter him. Ben looked proud as he enjoyed such attention. He walked and said, “Gillian? I don’t really remember. I’ve met too many women, and I don’t remember you.”“The heir to Grindle Group? I think I’ve heard of your grandfather. As for you, I d
The crowd was shocked by his command. No one had expected him to be so direct. However, it also seemed reasonable as Ben and Remus were mortal enemies. So, it was normal for him to treat Kylie in such a way. They all looked at her teasingly."Mr. Stuart, you called me to discuss the contract…" Kylie helplessly fought back, and her voice was hoarse. Ben playfully replied, "Yes. I did tell you to come here for the contract. Does kneeling down have any conflict with that? Plus, do I need a reason to have you kneel?" His tone was arrogant. He treated Kylie as if he could trample on her without a thought. However, no one else felt his attitude was wrong. They even added fuel to the fire. "Kylie Cox, kneel! Don't make Mr. Stuart wait.""You should be honored that Mr. Stuart asked you to kneel. What's there to hesitate about?""Quick! Otherwise, I'll slap you!"No one wanted to lose this chance to flatter Ben.Kylie gritted her teeth. She was hesitant about coming here at first. Th
“Mr. Stuart!” Kylie’s expression changed. Finally, she couldn’t hold back her tears and broke down. “How can you do that? I’ve followed your orders and kneeled. I even crawled. Please, I know you’re a kind man. Please give me a chance to survive.”At this point, Kylie didn’t know what to do, so she begged. At this moment, Ben had the highest authority in Neptuna. “No!” Ben suddenly became irritated. “Remus Cosby has humiliated me countless times. How could I let him leave peacefully? His suffering is not enough. Those around him will suffer too! Bitch, do you know why I haven’t brought you to my bed? It’s because I want to do it in front of Remus! You’re here today because I want you to be my bait. I want you to see Remus beg me for mercy!”Then, he yelled, “Waiter, come over here!” The waiter quickly ran over. He had everyone else’s attention as well.“Mr. Stuart, how can I help you?”Ben arrogantly said, “Call Scarlet Quinn over to meet me. Tell her I have a big business op
Remus looked energized and happy. One of the reasons was the relaxing hot spring, and the other was because Scarlet had suggested a great plan. If her judgment was correct, he could get close to Jean tomorrow. Meanwhile, Scarlet looked exhausted, and her legs were weak. There was also hatred in her eyes. She thought she would show off her charms during the soak in the hot spring and make Remus fall for her. In the end, Remus said he loved soaking in cold water and asked her to keep adding cold water into the hot spring. In the end, she carried eighty buckets of water to him. She almost died from exhaustion. Remus didn't know how to care for a woman!After they took a few steps, they both felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. It was eerily quiet. "R-Remus Cosby!" someone called out in a trembling voice as if he had seen a ghost."Why is he here?" He wasn’t the only one who was shocked. The crowd was stunned too. Ben just said he wanted to kill Remus, and the manag
Everyone thought Ben had the right to speak with Scarlet. Who would've thought she would actually dare to kill him? So what was Tiger Roost Estate's position in all this?Even Ben was dumbfounded as he looked at Grimmold. His brain was buzzing as he knew he couldn't retreat in front of so many people. Ultimately, he bit the bullet and said, "Scarlet, you know Ms. Lotus and the Steeles are supporting me, right? Are you sure you want to touch me?" "Ask them to come!" Scarlet aggressively said, "In Tiger Roost Estate, everyone must follow our rules, no matter how powerful they are. Let them come, and let's see if I dare to kill you right in front of their faces!" If Scott Miller had been by her side, she wouldn't have dared threaten Ben. However, with Remus there, she didn't feel scared at all."You…" Ben was so shocked that he could feel his heart jumping out. He was scared of Scarlet, and he knew Ms. Lotus and the Steeles wouldn't help him with his personal matters. So he forced
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
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
