Jean laughed and sat up from the sofa. She looked serious and asked, “What’s happening? I think my illness is cured. I’m going to take a bath. Why don’t we…take it together? We can get clean while you treat my illness.”

Remus could feel the blood in his body boiling, and something in him was about to lose control.

Before he could answer, Jean stood up. “Your silence means rejection. I’m so sad. Fine, I’ll get clean myself then. Hey, you’re not allowed to peek, okay?”

Then, she quickly went upstairs in her evening gown.

Remus was left speechless. Only when she was gone did he remember about cancelling the marriage!

At the same time, the news of Remus becoming Jean’s chosen business partner was spread across Neptuna. Everyone got the news and inquired about who Remus was.

Ultimately, they all discovered that he had just finished his prison sentence! This discovery, however, disappointed everyone, and many secretly scolded Jean for being ignorant!

Unfortunately, no one could chan

    On the second day, Remus went downstairs after washing up. He saw Jean wearing an apron in the kitchen, and she had prepared a bountiful breakfast.When Jean heard him coming down, she quickly sat down. “You’re awake? Quick, have breakfast. Then, you’ll have the energy to cure me. I feel like I’m coming down with another fever.”Remus was speechless and secretly cursed. Master Tyson said he wasn’t allowed to lose his virginity without permission!Remus sat opposite her and said, “Let’s not eat yet. I have something to tell you!”The marriage cancellation couldn’t be delayed. He still had six fiancées to deal with. Then, he had to return to prison and wait for Master Tyson. In other words, even if Jean was right before him, he couldn’t do anything before meeting his master.In reply, Jean gave him a cute response. She was sitting appropriately, but her gaze was flirty, and she was constantly blinking at him. When Remus met her gaze, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. Considerin

    "Shut up!" Jean cut her off angrily. "I have a much better understanding than you on how to choose a suitable candidate. I believe that Remus has potential and will become a force to be reckoned with. He will not disappoint me! I don't want to hear you degrading him from now on, understand?"The Imperial Villa was one of Adam's properties, and he was honorably given the title of Working Emperor. Jean knew Adam well, and he wouldn't have lent out his mansion to anyone if he wasn’t close to them. So, it showed that Remus had a special bond with Adam and must have learned how to manage a business!"Understood." Naomi stopped resisting and gave Remus the documents. "Mr. Remus, here are all the documents. Please check if there are any issues." Remus was on the verge of breaking down as he was clueless about business management. "Remus, have confidence in yourself." Jean looked at him sincerely. "I believe you'll succeed one day and make everyone look up to you, okay?"Meeting her gaz

    All the employees at the Lotus Corp were startled, and their faces were pale. Naomi was excited when she heard the security guards yelling. She mocked, “Mr. Cosby, security is here. They come with ill intent, so please handle this matter appropriately!”It might be easy to beat up one guy, but she didn’t believe he could fight a group. If the security guards took him down, he probably wouldn’t have the face to continue as the Lotus’ business partner!“There’s no need to panic. I can handle it,” Remus replied indifferently and walked out of his office. Outside were a dozen ferocious guards, and the leader was furious. When he saw Remus, he glared at him and shouted, “You’re Remus Cosby? How are you going to compensate for beating up my man?!” The other security guards were agitated and followed.“Who do you think you are to beat up a security guard?”“I’ll smack you, you better believe it!”Typically, these guards wouldn’t have the guts to create such a commotion. They had to

    All the guards were beaten to the ground and were shouting in pain. None of them could get up!Naomi was shocked, thinking that Remus might be a monster. Even the employees were dumbfounded and felt like Remus was a beast in human form. The leader of the security guards, who was kneeling, trembled in fear.“The stakes have been raised. All of you will kneel and apologize. If not, each person will lose a leg.” Remus clapped his hands and walked to the leader. “Let’s start with you. You must apologize with sincerity, got it?”Terrified, the leader was drenched in sweat. He quickly looked toward Naomi. She made them come up and create a commotion. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to do so, so she had to save them.Therefore, Naomi bit the bullet and said, “Mr. Cosby, only gangsters use violence to handle problems. You can’t use force. Once this matter is spread, how would others look at the Coxs? Why would they cooperate with us then? So, you must convince others with virtue instead!”I

    Naomi could see that Remus was embarrassed and teased, "Not able to answer? If that's the case, leave right now. Don't make a fool of yourself here!"The employees were smiling as he could not answer the most basic questions. It turned out Ms. Lotus was really ignorant. After a moment of thought, Remus asked, "Who is the boss?"Naomi paused and laughed. "Of course, for now, it's you!""Since I'm the boss, who gave you the right to test me?" Remus said calmly. "In light of your disrespect towards the boss, your salary will be cut in half for three months. We'll see your attitude in the future and decide how to proceed from there. However, you will be fired if you disrespect me again. And all of you. Apologize now and leave. Otherwise, I will move out of Hamilton Towers and have the Dragon Head have a nice, long chat with you guys!"Naomi, the employees, and the security guards were all shocked. They never expected such an outcome. Since Remus couldn't win against their questions,

    "Have you guys never heard that it's bad to gossip?" someone said from behind. When both men turned around, they were startled. It was Remus.Lotus Corp has just gotten their license and started their company today. How could he have the time to show up at the auction? Remus sat behind them and concisely said, "You're Skylar Stuart, right? You should know speaking badly about others behind their backs is inappropriate. If you're clueless about that, I would advise you to take a look at your son!"Hearing him mention this, Skylar was mad. The mark on his son's face was still there!Then, Skylar laughed. "Mr. Cosby, how impressive. Even though it's the Lotus Corp's opening day, you still made it to the auction. You must be anxious to prove yourself to Miss Lotus!""Of course, a man should prioritize business!" Remus leaned back.Everyone in the hall quieted down and had disdain in their eyes. How dare a scoundrel who got here purely out of luck talk about business? Elias frowned a

    “First of all, Lotus Corp’s positioning is as an investment company. To put it simply, if the other party can give us a feasibility report and they match our company development strategies, we can provide them with funds. For future development, I plan to focus on properties for now…” Remus explained each of the questions and was very detailed. Meanwhile, everyone’s expressions soured the more he spoke. Each word Remus said made them more and more nervous. According to public knowledge, Remus had only come out of prison after serving his three-year sentence. Why did they feel enlightened after hearing him explain? He seemed to be more knowledgeable than them on this topic.When Remus was done explaining, he smiled at Skylar. “Mr. Stuart, you can kneel and bark now. But, please be loud as I’ve been having some problems with my ear lately.”Everyone in the hall was quiet. Skylar was so shocked, he could feel a buzzing in his head. At that point, he had lost all ability to think. How

    The host of the auction stepped onto the stage. Seeing this, everyone quickly turned their attention toward the stage. Skylar wanted to say something, but the people in charge had already arrived, so he could only hold back and sit down.Then, the host explained the 140 plots of land and the benefits of developing it. Finally, he announced, "The auction will officially begin with a starting price of 60 million dollars!""70 million dollars!""80 million dollars!""90 million dollars!"One after another, everyone raised their paddles. This land could be used for real estate development. Once the development was completed, it could be sold for at least one billion dollars."200 million dollars!" Elias raised his paddle. He had to get this piece of land."500 million dollars!" Remus' voice sounded again. Hearing this price, everyone was silent. That bid was too high, and it messed everything up."That's too high of a bid, Mr. Cosby!" Naomi quickly reminded him. 500 million was jus

    "Did Kaiser really say that?" asked a stout old man sitting in an office chair upstairs. He wore glasses and appeared quite refined, but despite his scholarly appearance, his sharp and savvy nature was evident. It was none other than Brandon Nielson, Talonia's president."Yes!" the old man respectfully responded. "And he said these words in a very angry tone. It seems that his patience has truly reached its limit.""Limits?" Brandon dismissively remarked, "Humans have no limits, or rather, I want to see where his limits lie. Just leave him be, and don't bother with him."Does he really think that threats will work? It's laughable. He talks about fighting to the bitter end, but I'd love to see how he plans to do that. Haha."The old man appeared hesitant and, after some thought, said, "Mr. President, shouldn't you reconsider? With a major conflict approaching, we don't need to provoke Kaiser."If he decides to target us during the final battle for personal reasons, it could cost us

    Time ticked by. Before Kaiser realized it, it was nighttime again.At this point, Kaiser realized that what the man said was merely a bait. In simpler terms, the man deliberately found a reason to get Kaiser to wait there. It was very likely he had reported to Brandon, but Brandon chose to make him continue waiting anyway.A weak country had no diplomatic influence!Kaiser was furious but helpless. After all, Darsia was in a fragile state. They were at the mercy of others with no room for negotiation. All he could do was wait.Kaiser's stomach kept rumbling. The last time he ate was when he arrived, and it'd been two full days and nights without any food or water. He could handle the physical torture, but the real challenge was the mental struggle. He had no idea when he'd be able to meet with Brandon.Finally, another day had passed, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard outside the window again.The door finally opened again, and an old man with a distinctly Talonian f

    Kaiser looked over immediately.A middle-aged man dressed in a sharp suit with blond hair and blue eyes, embodying the classic features of someone from Talonia, walked in. Kaiser recognized him as a department head from Talonia, though he wasn't very high-ranking in the country.Kaiser looked around to see if he was accompanied by anyone but noticed that he was alone."Mr. Geer, I've come specifically to apologize to you," the man said. "Due to an oversight by our staff, we accidentally forgot that you were here yesterday. Everyone left after work, leaving you here overnight. On Talonia's behalf, I apologize to you."Apologize? Though he was apologizing, his expression didn't show any sincerity at all. It was like he deliberately chose a poor excuse, claiming he forgot after work last night.It clearly seemed like he was mocking Kaiser. How could someone forget about and leave another country's president waiting for so long?"It's okay." Kaiser, still smiling despite having not s

    Grant wasn't the only one to find Halvor's behavior strange, but even the surrounding deities thought it odd. They'd been around each other for hundreds of years and understood each other's personalities all too well.Knowing Halvor, he would either go big or go home. While they knew Halvor had a point, how could he tolerate it when Grant had disrespected him to this degree?But the truth was, only Halvor knew the real reason he had left."That was close!" Halvor, who had returned to the void, let out a sigh of relief.Yet, at that exact moment, he suddenly heard a cracking sound from within himself, and in an instant, he was frozen in place.The sound wasn't just a single occurrence—it continued persistently, eventually turning into a roaring noise. When it reached its peak, it abruptly stopped, and everything returned to silence.Halvor stood there in shock, unable to come to his senses for a long time."No!" he suddenly howled, and his whole demeanor turned frenzied. His avat

    Everything went quiet as Halvor came to a stop. His robe was left in tatters, offering no cover whatsoever, leaving him completely exposed. The same happened to the avatar behind him, with nothing left for concealment."You're... You're courting death!" Halvor was in an absolute rage as his energy burst out uncontrollably. Its intensity was more than double that of his previous most powerful attack.Clothing was typically so closely associated with the body that it formed part of one's outward image.This was even more so for avatars, where the clothing was almost inseparable. After all, an avatar was not a physical entity, making it nearly impossible for the clothing to be damaged or torn.Yet, Grant's attack had left him exposed in front of so many deities. How would Halvor face anyone in the future?Grant remained in his previous position, merely laughing and looking at Halvor. He pointed at him and said, "No wonder you can say such vile things. It turns out you're small-minded

    "I've been patient with you so far, but you've repeatedly taken advantage of that as a license to act out. Since that's the case, go to hell!"To show off his strength, Halvor intentionally made a comment before his energy burst out, tightly wrapping around the black whip.The whip suddenly shattered, going from a single strand to breaking into countless pieces in the blink of an eye. Then, it transformed into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated.His plan was to use his avatar at this point of the fight to cause Grant to despair or to turn and flee. If that happened, taking him down afterward would elevate his prestige to the highest level.However, Grant didn't run away. Instead, his energy churned even more thickly as he snapped, "You uneducated and petty scoundrel, do you think you can bark in my presence? In Darsia, I am one of the ghost kings of the Underworld."Even outside of Darsia, I am someone you insignificant people from other domains could never reach. So what if I

  • Chapter 2979

    At that moment, Grant was completely unfazed by his shock, quickly snapping his whip directly at Halvor.Seeing that, Halvor didn't dodge or hesitate. Instead, he quickly unleashed a burst of energy around himself. Grant did surprise him, but it was still nothing to be wary of.But when the black whip stuck his energy, the energy suddenly dissipated. Not only that, but a tear even appeared in his robe.If Halvor was shocked earlier, he was now stunned. Before, he was judging Grant's attacks with his eyes, but now he was experiencing it firsthand, and only by confronting it head-on did he realize its true intensity. It was far more powerful than he initially thought.Grant was also taken aback. Halvor, being a main deity, was supposed to be comparable to Roman according to Francis, or at least on par with Roman with an avatar. How could he be easily struck by Grant?However, Grant's eyes quickly lit up with a sparkle. He quickly ascended through the air and repeatedly struck Halvor

    When Halvor saw Grant getting angry, he wasn't upset or surprised.He remained calm and said softly, "Don't be angry. All these conditions are based on the reality of the situation."Ask yourself honestly—does Darsia still have the foundation for cooperating with me? No, not even a little. The only things that interest me are Darsia's Pathic Energies and those 140 million commoners."If you're able to give me what I want, then we have a basis for collaboration. If not, there's no need to continue this discussion.""You're courting death!" Grant could no longer tolerate it. Even though Darsia had indeed been declining quite significantly, since when did Halvor get to look down on them?During the peak of Darsia's dominance, never mind Halvor, even Amez wouldn't dare to compete with them. Darsia's overall strength was unrivaled globally, leaving no room for challengers.But even if Darsia had weakened, Grant still couldn't tolerate Halvor taking advantage of his nation like this.

  • Chapter 2977

    Grant was taken aback and momentarily lost for words. In the whole world's eyes, Halvor's people had always been seen as those oppressed by those of Amez and Silas, a role they had been stuck in for centuries without any change. This was also the reason why Grant was able to reach out to Halvor.He never would have thought that Halvor would say he wanted to team up with Amez and Silas to take on Darsia together. Grant felt like no normal person would say something like this because it completely defied common sense."I really like an old saying from Darsia—money makes the world go round," Halvor continued. "They can benefit from opposing me, but there will also be challenges for them."But if they join forces with me to attack Darsia, there won't be any challenges, just slightly less profit. I'm confident they know what choice to make when comparing the two."Grant forced himself to calm down from his shock, looking at Halvor as if he were a monster. "Even with the prospect of gain
