Seraphine smiled bitterly. "No need to comfort me. I understand my physical condition. I accepted that years ago. Just that, it's going to be hard on my fiancé. If something happens to me, it will affect him. Being engaged to a dead person... I just hope he finds a good partner in the future."In the private room, Remus and the others found their seats.Gray sat in the main seat without hesitation and picked the most expensive items from the menu. Soon, the food arrived.Remus happened to be hungry and eagerly picked up his utensils to eat. Seeing this, the others secretly mocked him, confirming that he was indeed a country bumpkin from out of town who was only concerned about eating.Gray smirked to himself and thought, "You may be eating now, but later I'll be eating your girlfriend." He gave a signal to the others.A young man next to them raised his glass proudly and said, "Nice meeting you, brother. Let me toast you!" The glass was filled with white wine.Remus casually gl
Everyone was stunned at his words."Drinking from the bottle? This is high-grade alcohol! Even people who drink regularly wouldn't dare to drink from the bottle!"His condition remained the same as before. He seemed unaffected. Could this guy actually handle his alcohol? Was he just pretending to be weak?"Remus!"Kylie nudged Remus with her elbow and whispered, "You've had too much to drink, haven’t you? Don't go too far!"Then she looked at everyone and said, "Remus can't drink anymore. He's already starting to spout nonsense. You guys can go ahead and continue drinking."A normal person wouldn't ask to drink from the bottle, so he must be drunk!While Gray and the others had initially suspected that Remus was pretending to be weak, they felt relieved after hearing Kylie's words. They didn't know Remus well, but Kylie was well acquainted with him, so she must know.Gray said happily, "Pretty lady, you can never have too much wine when you meet a good buddy. It won't be right
He was completely fine, but the others were all defeated!Remus said, unbothered, "I can't drink alcohol because I don't feel the effects of alcohol. So drinking this is no different from drinking water."He was immune to alcohol!Gray immediately slammed the table in a rage. He even thought about snatching Kylie away after getting him drunk!He angrily exclaimed, "If you can’t feel the effects of alcohol, why didn't you say so earlier? Were you trying to toy with me?"Remus replied calmly, "I said I couldn’t drink. You were the one who didn't believe me, and besides, I could feel everyone's enthusiasm. How could you say that I was toying with you?"Gray became even more impatient and grabbed a bottle of alcohol from the dining table, ready to strike.Kevin, who was standing beside him, quickly intervened and said, "Calm down, Gray. I think what my brother-in-law said is right. You made him drink, so why are you getting so worked up?"He realized that these people were trying t
Gray was badly injured from the hit. When he touched his forehead, his hand came away covered in blood.In disbelief, he exclaimed, "You dare to hit me?"As a member of the Mitchell family in Durwad, he could act arrogantly wherever he went, and no one would defy him! So, he had never been hit in his life.He shouted furiously, "Get him! Beat him up! If he dies, I'll take responsibility!""No!" Kevin's face turned pale with fear, and he nervously pleaded, "Gray, this is my brother-in-law. Please forgive him for my sake, I beg you!"If he hadn’t spoken up, Kylie wouldn't have brought Remus along. In the end, it was all because of him, so he needed to find a way to resolve the situation.Gray slapped him and angrily scolded, "You're a piece of trash. On behalf of the Mitchell family, are you even worthy of my forgiveness? Huh?"Kevin dared not speak. If his family found out that he offended Gray, they wouldn't come to his aid but would instead punish him. As the number one family
Hearing these words, Kevin's expression changed completely. There were numerous descendants from the five major families, and their positions were different. He himself was just living aimlessly, while Gray was still a core member even though he wasn't the next heir of the Mitchell family.Leander, on the other hand, was the heir and the future head of the Miller family! Moreover, the Miller family was ranked second among the five major families!Linda's eyes brightened. Her excited face turned red as she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Miller to come to Greenfield. Brother Gray, I haven't met Mr. Miller yet. Can you introduce me to him later?"Having a connection with someone like Mr. Miller could propel one's family to great heights!"No problem!" Gray took a sip of wine and glanced at Remus, who was still eating, unbothered. "He'll get a taste of it later!" he thought.Linda also looked over and sneered. "You better eat more because it might be your last meal in this li
The sudden and unexpected changes caught everyone off guard.Wilson kneeled and made Leander kneel too?"Wilson, what are you doing? Why should I kneel before him?" Leander was confused.Although Wilson was just a butler, he had been with the Miller family for decades, so Leander couldn't easily reprimand him. He could only inquire."Kneel!" Wilson's expression changed. He reached out and grabbed Leander's arm, forcefully pulling him down. Then, he whispered something in his ear."What?"Leander widened his eyes and was dumbfounded. He never expected that the person his father referred to as the Grandmaster was actually the person in front of him, the same person who disabled Ethan. He started trembling in fear.Terrified, he said, "Mr. Cosby, I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry for my arrogant words. I was wrong. Scott is my father. Please forgive me..."Seeing Leander admit his mistake, Gray and the others were shocked as if struck by lightning. How could this be possible? Wh
Leander brought Wilson over as he caught up with them.Leander flattered him. "Sir Cosby, everything has been done according to your instructions. Gray drank three bottles and passed out. I injected the rest of it into him with a syringe.""Linda vomited after having a sip, so I had someone feed her shit that was fresh and warm!"Remus' expression darkened. It was indeed disgusting."Ugh…" Kylie almost vomited upon hearing this.Leander awkwardly scratched his head and said, "My apologies, sister-in-law. I will be more careful with my words in the future. Sorry, sorry."Sister-in-law?Kylie blushed upon hearing this and felt a small sense of pride. She didn't correct him.Remus didn't bother to correct him either. He asked, "Is there anything else?"Leander didn't have anything else. He just wanted to establish a closer relationship with Remus. After all, in his father's eyes, Remus was an all-powerful expert. But when confronted directly, he didn't know how to answer his ques
After he finished speaking, he lay on the bed.Although it felt a bit unnatural to sleep on the same bed with her, as long as there were no other thoughts in mind, he could sleep peacefully."You…" Kylie itched to say something. His words seemed to imply that she was a regular person. When she saw him lying down beside her and acting like a complete gentleman, she wanted to confront him directly.But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly hesitated.She thought, "What if, after the confrontation, he shamelessly asks me to be his lover? Do I refuse? There's no way I refuse. I'll reject him! But if I reject him, does that mean we won't have any connections in the future? That's too bad!"Kylie realized her true thoughts and suddenly felt a bit ashamed. She had never thought that one day she would be unwilling to clarify such an ambiguous relationship.Angrily, she said, "Don't go to sleep yet. Go out for a walk. I want to take a shower."The room was small, and the bathroom h
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
