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

    The crowd dared not voice their discomfort. However, they had to admit that these three people were indeed the most powerful in Neptuna. On the other hand, Skylar and Ben felt their hearts beating quickly when no one else was mentioned. Not only did Scarlet publicly express her respect to them, but she'd also disregarded the others, meaning that she didn’t care about them. This was extreme glory for the father-son duo!Ben glanced at Remus with a vicious smile. With Scarlet’s support, he could take action smoothly. This meant that Remus wouldn’t live to walk out of this hall today.Everyone saw his malicious gaze, and some showed playfully wicked expressions. Did Remus really think he could do anything he wanted? Just wait. He would soon kneel and beg for mercy. Remus didn’t seem to see it and smiled at the front. Jean frowned and thought about how she could help Remus escape safely. Miranda was also watching from the side, thinking, "Why didn’t Remus run away?" Then Scarle

    Anthony was nervously sweating. He had everything planned out and would call all his men to the scene if he felt something was wrong. No matter what, he had to protect Remus. At this moment, Remus walked up slowly and said teasingly, "Actually, I never planned to show myself so quickly. However, your attitudes were so sincere that I had to appear. However, I can’t cooperate with you as you said because ... I will beat you up!" Remus felt extremely comfortable that it was finally his turn to show up. "Remus Cosby?" Everyone called out in shock. Why did he come out? Judging from his tone, did he mean that he was the distinguished guest? "Mr. Cosby?" Anthony was stunned. Remus had never mentioned knowing Scarlet. If that was the case, why did he escape back then? It didn’t make sense at all.The crowd suddenly laughed. "This fool. He actually said he was the distinguished guest. I’m going to die from laughing." "Does he think he's so powerful after going to Tiger Roost Estate

    The crowd was even more dumbfounded. What did Remus mean by reintroducing himself? However, no one looked at Remus and turned to look at Scarlet instead. Jean didn’t understand the situation either. Scarlet had been in Neptuna for years, and Remus had just arrived. How could he be her distinguished guest? "Ms. Quinn!" Skylar was furious and shouted, "Are you kidding me? Are you trying to go against me? How can that bastard be your distinguished guest? Do you think we’re fools?" He still couldn’t believe it and took it as a joke. Ben was angry and said, "Ms. Quinn, if you’re unhappy about anything, you can just tell us. Don’t fool us with Remus Cosby. He’s not worthy at all. Even a strand of hair on my body is more expensive than his life. Who do you think he is? Are you trying to go against the Stuarts and use him to disgust everyone?" The crowd finally realized the situation. That must be the real reason behind this. Scarlet and the Stuarts held grudges against each other. S

    "Winda Group is leaving!" "Ms. Quinn, how can you support this bastard? You've made the wrong move this time." "I thought you were a wise woman. I'm disappointed by your decision today!" The onlookers slowly moved to the Stuarts' side. Although Scarlet was mysterious, the Stuarts were the most prominent family in Neptuna."Dad, what do we do?" Miranda asked anxiously. They couldn't be neutral in such a situation. If they supported Remus, they would never win, and it would destroy their family's reputation. However, Remus could die if they didn't support him. "Let's … Let's wait for a moment." Elias was sweating, and he couldn't make a decision. Miranda patiently looked at what was happening and understood why Scarlet supported Remus. He must have reached out to her, hoping she would help him out. Unfortunately, the current situation wasn't in their favor.Three minutes later, most people were standing behind Skylar. Skylar sneered, "Ms. Quinn, can you see the difference

    If the fact that those people had chosen to stand on Remus' side was shocking, then Jean's words were earth-shattering. After all, she was the Stuarts' partner, and most people stood with the Stuarts because of Jean. Why was she suddenly helping Remus? "Ms. Lotus, you …" Skylar was stunned. "Ms. Lotus, I'm your business partner. How could you choose him? He's a liar; don't get fooled by him!" Ben was panicking. If he lost his status as her business partner, he couldn't continue to do as he wished in the future. Jean glanced at them with a serious face. "I don't need your approval for whoever I choose, nor should I explain the reason to you!" Then she looked at Remus and smiled. "Mr. Cosby, are you willing to be my business partner?" Remus laughed and said, "Of course. I'd always been your previous business partner in Neptuna! Ben Stuart was impersonating me!" It seemed Scarlet was right about Jean starting to have suspicions. She'd just been worried because of the Stuart

    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.

    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
