Chapter 2567
Author: Oldwell
But despite his nervousness, Remus couldn't act rashly. It was especially important now to stay calm and act natural.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "This is a valuable item you have. If the price is too low, you'll be making a loss, and if it's too high, it's not worth it for me.

"So, how about I offer you a deal? I'll give you ten silvers to rent the emerald pendant, and after the wedding tomorrow, I'll return it to you. How does that sound?"

The stall owner was taken aback and exclaimed, "Rent?"

Remus nodded. "That's right!"

The stall owner immediately got angry. "Get out of here! Did you come here to make fun of me? Who rents a emerald pendant for a wedding?

"The moment I saw you, I knew you weren't a good person. Your wife must be incredibly unfortunate to have married you. Get lost!"

As he spoke, he even started waving Remus away.

Remus stood up quickly, expressing his displeasure. "Fine. There's no need to shout. You don't look like a decent person anyw

    If there was an exit from the Underworld, it must be the Reincarnation Office.The only way for specters from the Underworld to reincarnate into the Mortal Realm was through the Reincarnation Office. If this office was closed, there would no longer be new people appearing in the Mortal Realm. Or, even if they did appear, there would be issues.But in some sense, the Reincarnation Office symbolized entering the Mortal Realm, which was different from leaving Netherhold. But right now, there was no other option.The vendor was taken aback by the question and responded impatiently, "Again, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't waste my time. I've got business to do."Remus said directly, "I'll take this, then. So, where is the Reincarnation Office?"He casually picked up the most expensive item."Huh." The vendor smiled upon seeing this and gave a thumbs up. "The moment I saw you, I knew you were someone who means business. Your generosity proves it. I'll wrap it up for you.

    A voice came from the first floor. "Have you seen this person?"It was followed by another attendant's voice. "Um..."The searcher continued, "Think carefully. This is a thief personally named by the Emperor himself to be captured. If you've seen him and don't speak up, be warned that you might end up suffering in the deepest level of hell!"Remus had a bad feeling when he heard this.As expected, the attendant said, "We have a guest upstairs, and he looks somewhat similar, but… only somewhat.It seems that the portrait wasn't done very well."What? Take us upstairs quickly."Then, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.Remus' initial reaction was to escape by jumping out of the building, but he quickly held himself back.If he ran, it would confirm his whereabouts. Once the information got out, not only would all the searchers in the city come after him, but even powerful figures like Bryce or the ghost kings might personally get involved. So, he couldn't run."Sir, if

    The attendant didn't dare to stall and quickly said, "There are only three people in the inn. Apart from us two attendants, there's just the owner, who's in the kitchen. Sir, I'm telling the truth, so please let me go. I was wrong!"He was on the verge of tears. He thought he could get away with it, but he ended up running into such a strong opponent instead.Remus frowned and said, "Are there really just three people? What about the guests?"The attendant responded. "We do have guests, but they've all gone outside the city to watch the events outside the Reincarnation Office. They only come back when they're tired. So, right now, the inn is empty."Sir, please let me go, I beg you. You're sure to be reincarnated into a good family…”Remus paused for a moment, then delivered a hefty kick that knocked the attendant unconscious.He then checked on the nether sentinels when passing by to make sure they were all unconscious. After that, he hurried downstairs.The inn was not large,

    So, did Remus really have to turn back? No way!He had come this far and almost got discovered, but the search was going to get even stricter. If he turned back now, there was no way he could make it back to the city gate. Even if he did, there was a formation there, so he still wouldn't be able to get out.The owner could tell what Remus was thinking and said hesitantly, "If you want to leave Netherhold, I do have a way, but it's a bit risky."Remus quickly asked, "What is it?"The owner straightforwardly replied, "Take the overseer hostage! As long as you do that, anyone will let you leave the city. However, this plan only works for getting out of the city. What to do after that is uncertain."Remus sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of regret about the situation.Initially, he didn't want things to escalate, so he held back. Had he known things would turn out this way, he would have simply taken the grim reapers and beastly wardens hostage and left much earlier. Alas, he had mis

    The walk from the walls to the Reincarnation Office's entrance was uneventful. Of course, Remus still had to be careful where he was walking. Otherwise, he might accidentally end up in someone's home.In theory, the Reincarnation Office and the Underworld court were on the same level, both under the ten kings' jurisdiction. However, in terms of relative influence, the Reincarnation Office's authority was somewhat higher.After all, this was the specters' end in the Underworld. The office held direct authority over determining the future course of the specter's entire life.So, there was a point that must be mentioned—the Reincarnation Office was extremely wealthy.Trying to use money to leave the Underworld was useless. However, bribery was needed to be reincarnated into a wealthy family, explaining why this place was so wealthy.At least, the Reincarnation Office's entrance was the most magnificent sight Remus had encountered since entering the Underworld.The building stretched

    The young man, Claude Henson, smirked. "What you're saying is just sour grapes. His script is something countless people dream of having."If it were offered to me, I'd take it in a heartbeat, even if it meant not being reincarnated for 100 years. You just didn't get the chance, but if you did, you'd be over the moon with joy. Ha!"Remus was taken aback by the comment, but he didn't get upset. Smiling, he explained, "You've misunderstood my point. I didn't mean that his script isn't good. Rather, getting hold of a good script doesn't guarantee he'll lead a good life."Many people in the Mortal Realm believe in wizardry. In The Principles of Flux, its opening words highlight principles of diligence and virtue."'As heaven maintains vigor, a wise person continually strives for improvement; as the earth is vast, a wise person is virtuous and accommodating.' In short, with effort, anything can be changed."This statement was true.Claude scoffed. "Some people start at a point that ma

    The natural course of the universe was strong and persistent, and a noble person should be inspired to continually strive for self-improvement and resilience.And just as the earth was vast and supportive, a noble person should nurture and support others with great virtue and character.Remus had always believed that human effort could overcome anything, and that with enough determination, any goal could be achieved.The reason he had this mindset was because, up until now, he had achieved almost everything he wanted to, and he believe it was all due to his hard work.But he overlooked the fact that he was a fruit born from a Mortal Realm's genius and a Golden Immortal. In other words, his own starting point and "script" was ahead of the average person's.Considering this, what had he actually done? Could it be that all the hard work he had always been so proud of was ultimately just leading to a predetermined end?Remus clenched his fists and began to tremble slightly as he watc

    Allen wore a serious expression as he said, "It can't continue like this. At this rate, the entire Underworld will be thrown into chaos. We must come up with a solution."Nick frowned. "The entire inner city is on lockdown, so why haven't they caught that person yet? Why haven't we received any updates?"Grant paused for a moment and looked at Roman. "Your Majesty, these are unprecedented phenomena that have never occurred in the Underworld. Do you have any idea what's happening?"The other four ghost kings all looked over at the same time.Ultimately, Roman was the Underworld's ruler, and it could be said that he was one of the two most powerful individuals in the Three Realms.In theory, nothing happening within the Three Realms could escape his sight or control, especially now when these events were occurring in the Underworld. He should have some clues about it.The five ghost kings previously believed that everything was under control and there was no need for Roman to perso

    Both Roman and Francis remained silent, acting as if the other didn't exist.Neither of them knew how much time had passed, but eventually, they both looked at each other simultaneously. Francis' gaze was calm. On the other hand, Roman's gaze initially held a hint of anger but then shifted to a sense of calmness.The reason why the two were looking at each other was straightforward. Roman was still suspicious of Francis, and Francis knew that.After about half an hour, Roman finally couldn't hold back and said, "I want to hear the truth!"Francis retorted, "Is it really necessary?""It's absolutely necessary. The survival of Darsia's three realms is at stake, and I must get to the bottom of this.""All you need to know is that I've returned to defend Darsia against external threats, and I won't be taking any action against you in the short term."Roman chuckled. "Even if you attacked me, what difference does it make? At worst, I face death, but this is an era of great upheaval w

    In the end, this issue was still raised.Kaiser's lips twitched slightly. He had been wondering the same thing but didn't have the chance to ask.Discomfort also appeared on the ghost kings' faces. They had naturally thought about the matter, too, but due to their fear of Francis, they didn't know how to bring it up. Moreover, considering Francis' demeanor, it seemed fine not to ask.But now that Roman had voiced that question, all they could do was wait for Francis' response.Francis asked casually, "Why do YOU think Amez helped me and let me return?"Roman remained unfazed. "I'm not sure. That's why I need you to answer!"Francis looked at him intently and replied, "Alright, I suppose it's not just you who wants to know. The others are probably curious, too."In that case, I'll tell you. The reason I gave Amez is straightforward—I wanted to return for revenge. Amez believed that my revenge against you all would be highly effective, which was why he decided to help me recover."

    Based on the analysis, this was indeed the case. Remus had been gone for so long, and the fact that Tyson, as his mentor, hadn't shown up yet was quite unusual. So, what was he planning?Just as everyone was speculating, Francis suddenly spoke up. "Amez is coming with Amelicon's deities."Everyone suddenly turned to look at him, their eyes widening uncontrollably. Did he just say Amez was about to arrive?Even though they already knew they would be coming, hearing it directly from Francis was still quite shocking.Francis ignored their expressions and continued, "So, no matter what the Monarch's mentor is plotting, it no longer matters. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get through the present situation."Everyone else's expression became serious. Francis' words made sense.Bringing up Tyson was merely a distraction from their argument about the Three Realms' ruler. While it was important to investigate what Tyson was planning, it was less significant comp

    "It can only be me!" Francis immediately added.As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked at Roman. Since none of them were eligible to compete, Francis' comments were directed solely at him. How would he respond?Roman's expression changed, and he was unsure of how to respond. If he acknowledged Francis, wouldn't that mean admitting defeat, rendering all his previous efforts futile? Additionally, it was embarrassing.But if he refused to acknowledge Francis, his current capabilities just didn't allow it. There was no way for him to win against Francis at the moment. What should he do?After a moment of reflection, he replied, "With external threats looming, it's too early to consider this issue. We don't even know if we can withstand the current challenge. If we manage to get through it, there's still time to think about that later."He could only delay the matter now.Francis said calmly, "It's precisely because we are facing external threats that there

    Finally, Roman crashed against the giant blade, and a sudden loud boom rang out.Then, something completely unexpected happened—the massive blade suddenly shattered like glass. Countless fragments scattered through the air like shooting stars, flying a short distance away before disappearing completely.As for Roman, he remained in the same spot where the massive blade used to be, completely unharmed.Roman burst into an exaggerated and unprecedented laugh, echoing continuously through the space."Why did this happen?""Could it be that the emperor has had a secret plan all along?""But the emperor wasn't protected by any energy. He shouldn't have been able to shatter the giant blade.""Why..."The four ghost kings were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They knew very well just how terrifying the blade was.Perhaps in their prime, they might have been able to withstand it, but in their current state, they couldn't even be sure they could dodge it. Yet, Roman did

    Even at this point, Roman still couldn't believe Francis would truly act against him.His reasoning was still the same—he didn't believe Francis would just stand by and watch as Darsia was destroyed and its people perish. He didn't believe Francis would simply watch this land be devastated and taken over by outsiders!"Of course!" Francis responded succinctly, and as soon as these words were spoken, the blade started dropping down on Roman.The ghost kings' expressions drastically changed, filled with terror in an instant, forgetting to even fight back.On the other hand, Roman knew he had to defend himself but continued to persevere, not believing that Francis would go to such extremes.But at that moment, Kaiser shouted from below, "Wait!"Kaiser had witnessed the entire scene and was already completely stunned by the suddenness of everything. He was momentarily in a daze, but when he saw the giant blade descending, he realized that if he didn't speak up now, it would be too la

    Hearing these straightforward words, Roman, the four ghost kings, and Kaiser were all stunned. They couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Why would Amez help him recover? The implications behind this fact were hugely problematic."Why… Why did he help you recover?" Roman still asked.The ghost kings were trembling more and more noticeably. Kaiser also began to shake uncontrollably because he already had a bad feeling about the situation.Francis openly stated, "Because I promised to be his inside contact for attacking Darsia, making it easier for him to take over this land. Do you think there's any other reason he would help me?"Francis burst into laughter, one that was openly and extremely mocking, deeply disdainful.The four ghost kings stepped back simultaneously upon hearing these words, driven by a mix of fear, but also because it was an uncontrollable reaction.To be honest, just facing Francis alone was already beyond their capabilities. Even more daunting was the

    Roman and the four ghost kings were in the process of recharging their energy in the sky. Below them, Candace continued spacing out.Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm, Kaiser and Remus' partners were secretly searching for Tyson while simultaneously managing production.As days went by, the general public remained unaffected because they were unaware of the impending crisis. Instead, they were excited about the expansion of the country's territory and the stability in society.A week had gone by. Although there hadn't been any news from abroad, and everything seemed calm, Roman and Kaiser knew that this was simply the calm before the storm.On the eighth day, something was finally happening outside of Darsia.Roman suddenly opened his eyes, and the four ghost kings did the same. They could sense a powerful energy coming from outside the domain, rushing toward them and about to reach the lower border, which forced them to be on high alert.Even Candace showed up voluntarily, looking

    When Kaiser heard this, he was completely stunned, looking at Candace in astonishment. It felt like a glimmer of hope had formed in his heart.Indeed, Remus had a mentor who provided him with the marriage contracts. In theory, Tyson arranged everything for Remus. But why had he never appeared since Remus' release from prison? It didn't make sense!Could he have died? Was it possible for someone like him? That didn't make sense, either! So Tyson was definitely somewhere out there. Could he be the key to saving Darsia?Noticing Kaiser was taking a long time to respond, Candace's expression turned serious. "You have to find this person, no questions asked! This is an order!"Her tone was very serious, as if she would immediately attack if Kaiser dared say no.Kaiser glanced at her but didn't pay much attention to her tone. Although he hadn't interacted with her before, he was aware she was a demon and couldn't be judged with normal human logic. Besides, with Darsia's current situatio
