After getting the money, everyone wanted to connect with Remus. After all, an ordinary person couldn’t take out 100 million dollars so quickly. However, Remus chased all of them away."I'll pay you back this money very soon!" When Kylie looked at him this time, she didn’t feel disgusted. On the contrary, her heart was pounding. She even wanted to take another look at him."Money isn’t important to me. If you have it, you can repay me. If not, just forget it," Remus replied.Then he said, "It’s getting late. Bye." "You can’t leave!" Keith was anxious and persuaded: "My dear son-in-law, how can you go after your first visit? Wait, I’ll make dinner. Then, you’ll accompany your father to a drink. Don’t go!"He'd been waiting for this day to come for so long; he wouldn’t let Remus leave so easily. Remus was flustered. What did Keith mean by "son-in-law" and "father"? However, he discovered what was happening when he saw Kylie’s expression. Keith was still clueless about their marria
"Bastard!"Remus didn't hear what Kylie said. If he did, he would've replied, "I would never have a mistress."After he left the villa, he didn’t call a taxi. Instead, he walked to an alley. When he was deep in the alley, he stopped and said, "Come out. Are you tired after following me for a day?"Just as he finished speaking, a tall, strong figure appeared in the alley. It was Jean’s bodyguard, Captain Fred.Captain Fred frowned and said, "I didn’t think you would actually discover me. Sure enough, you’re skilled, like the rumors said." When he'd come to Neptuna, he'd heard about Remus’ strong martial arts skills and that he could smash a person’s head into pieces. However, he'd scoffed at this rumor, thinking Remus could only defeat ordinary people. If Remus were to fight with a skilled man like him, he might not be able to make a move. "Who do you work for?" Remus asked directly. He'd long noticed him following, but it didn't matter who Captain Fred was working for. He could
Remus' expression wasn't kind. After all, the Bowens were too snobby and ungrateful. In the past, they had even wanted to kill him after listening to Skylar’s advice. Remus would've exacted vengeance if they hadn't previously been bound together by the marriage contract."You!" Miranda was furious, and her cold face looked even more frosty. She angrily shouted, "Do you think you’re unstoppable because Scarlet allowed you to touch Ben at Tiger Roost Estate today?"Scarlet didn’t give out a sealing order, so it wasn’t a secret in Neptuna’s top circle. "Speak if you have anything to say. If not, I’m going to sleep. It’s late." Remus urged. Miranda clenched her fists. No man had ever treated her like this. Still, she controlled herself and said, "Scarlet is just using you to kill Ben. If Ben didn’t stir up a commotion at Tiger Roost Estate first, do you think Scarlet would just sit and wait? If Scarlet did take action, you would only die unavenged, no matter how good your skills a
After they'd gotten the money, they'd come here for a feast."Get out of my way!" Remus wasn’t in a good mood. Then he entered the elevator. Damien and the others were shocked. After they made sure he was gone, Damien scolded, "Bah! He just has that little money. Why is he so pretentious?"The others added, "Yes. I’ll get back at him when I become richer than him!""It seems he didn’t have a good time with Kylie. Otherwise, why didn’t he stay overnight and come here instead?" As they were whispering, Cathy walked toward Miranda. She put on a flattering expression and said, "Ms. Bowen, do you know Remus? It seems he pissed you off." She was thinking of using Remus to get acquainted with Miranda. Miranda showed her usually indifferent expression and said, "He’s just a toyboy. How could I be mad at him?" If Jean hadn't helped Remus, he couldn't have gotten to where he was. So she wasn’t wrong to call him a toyboy. Cathy was taken aback and then came to a realization. Was Mi
Around 11 in the afternoon, the guests slowly filled the banquet hall."Mr. Ruben of the Rubens has arrived!""Avien Group's representative has arrived!""Gus Trading's representative has arrived!"Someone was announcing the guests' arrivals at the door. Those who came were big shots in Neptuna. Other than those who couldn't expose their identities, all the famous people were there. The scene was even grander than Jean's first meet-up in the past. After all, this was Scarlet's first time hosting a banquet."Who do you guys think Ms. Quinn is going to introduce today? What status would they have?""Lower your voice. We shouldn't make any guesses. But I feel they must be at the provincial level!""Come on. The Stuarts have the Steeles supporting them, but Ms. Quinn isn't afraid at all. I feel that person must be from Centurio!""It's possible. I can't believe I have the chance to see Ms. Quinn's distinguished guest. What an honor!"Once the guests entered, they started to gossip
Before Remus could speak, Anthony said, "Mr. Stuart, please be respectful when speaking with Mr. Cosby. Otherwise, I won't be respectful toward you either.""Respectful? Are you worthy of it?" Ben quickly replied. He was already on the verge of madness. As a man, he was humiliated for losing his rights as a guy. Nothing mattered as much as that. He pointed at Anthony and scolded, "You're a crippled dragon, yet you dare to threaten me? Don't you know that I can have people in the province destroy all your territory with just a call?"Anthony was speechless, as it would indeed be possible if the Stuarts asked the Steeles for help. The crowd playfully looked at the scene and thought Ben was the only member of the younger generation who could make the Dragon Head speechless.Skylar twirled his wine glass and smiled. In the past, the Dragon Head had had the right to speak with him. Now, he wasn't worthy at all, so he would just let Ben deal with him."You're really a pathetic bastar
The crowd was shocked by the scene before them. They couldn’t believe their eyes. After all, this was Skylar Stuart, the most powerful man in Neptuna. How would Remus dare force him to drink the wine? Remus was basically giving up on himself. Did he have a death wish? "Ah… Urgh!" Skylar retched continuously. He'd never expected this to happen. In the past, Remus had had Jean to protect him. So it was reasonable for him to act presumptuously. But now … Who gave him the courage to do so now? His eyes were redder than Ben’s as he shouted, "I’m going to kill you!" Then he raised his hands and was about to attack Remus. At this moment, a sound sounded from behind the crowd. "Mr. Stuart!" The voice belonged to an elegant lady with smooth skin, neat hair, and exquisite features. It was Jean. She slowly walked over. "Did you forget what you just said? One must be calm when facing big situations." Skylar instantly stopped. Indeed, that was what he'd taught his son. Still, he felt
Skylar impatiently said, "Ms. Lotus, Remus has continuously provoked us. How can you let him leave just like that? He should stay in Neptuna instead!" Ben quickly added, "We should punish him on this occasion and let him die miserably!"Despite Jean's straight face, she felt disgusted by these people. Now she was more sure Remus had been her previous business partner, as she would never work with such ruthless people. So she said unhappily, "Are you trying to tell me what to do? Do I need you to teach me?" Skylar and Ben stopped talking. Although they had Leonard supporting them, they couldn’t handle it if Jean decided to make a fuss. "Jean, I won’t leave," Remus said, remembering what Scarlet had told him. He felt much more comfortable and said, "I’m not only staying, but I’ll also take back everything that belongs to me. Just watch me." After that, he walked away. Jean’s expression darkened, and she thought, "Why doesn't he understand that I’m helping him?" In contrast
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
