"Hahaha!" Skylar and Ben also laughed. They felt really satisfied. Their only regret was that Remus wasn't present. If he'd also been kneeling in front of them, it would have been most satisfying!"You! You're dead meat!" Elias charged forward with all his might.Yet the moment he moved, Ben sent a kick to his head, knocking him down.With disdain, Ben said, "Stupid bastard, do you think you're the richest man in Neptuna? Now, you're just an ant that I can crush at any time. You're nothing in front of the Stuart family."Instead of lifting his foot, he stomped hard on Elias. Then he turned to Ludwig and said, "Mr. Stewark, since you've chosen your woman, go upstairs and have a nice time. Seize the moment! We'll have people who will be joining the feast later!"He urged Ludwig to leave. It was his turn now. He couldn't wait a second longer!"That's right!" Skylar nodded in agreement. "Miranda has good features and a nice figure. Her reputation also precedes her. You have good tast
Anthony's declaration made the three men stop in their tracks simultaneously. They turned their heads to look at Anthony, as if they were looking at a fool. Did he think he had the right to speak in this situation?Ben was boiling with anger, desperate to find a place to vent. He quickly walked over, grabbed Anthony by the hair, and slapped him twice. He furiously exclaimed, "Why can't we touch them? Tell me. Why?"Skylar sneered and said, "Who do you think you are, Anthony? Right now, you're just a prisoner. Do you dare to stop me?"Before, they used to make way for Anthony, but now it was his turn to kneel!"I said you can't touch them!" Anthony remained indifferent and said, "I can let you in on a secret. Mr. Cosby has left a contingency plan for them!""What the hell?"The more Ben listened, the angrier he became. He slapped Anthony repeatedly, landing ten slaps in a row, leaving Anthony's face covered in blood."Tell me, what's the contingency plan? Don't talk about plans.
Having said his piece, Remus moved to leave the Military Department.The captain quickly took two steps forward and nervously said, "Mr. Cosby, you really can't leave the Military Department. Commander Baxton said so. Please head back inside!" If he allowed him to leave, there would be consequences.Seeing the captain's nervousness, Remus sensed something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Did something happen?"The captain trembled, panic evident in his eyes. He was aware of the situation in Neptuna, as were many other people, and they had all been keeping it a secret from Remus. He didn't know how to answer."What could possibly happen?" Max appeared from behind, walking slowly and smiling. "You're too impatient. I know you and Jean are in the honeymoon phase, but you can't go back for a few days. After you go back, you'll have plenty of time together. It's already getting dark today, and Jean would probably be asleep by now. You should go back."He spoke casually, as if having a
At the Imperial Villa, everyone looked ahead, some with surprise, some with fear, some with unease, and others with dread.But not a single person dared to speak. Silence prevailed as they watched the scene unfold.Ludwig took the lead and chuckled lightly. "You don't need to focus your attention on me. I'm here today on behalf of Leonard Steele, the head of the Steele family, to extend blessings to Chairman Stuart. I wish the Stuart family prosperity and a bright future! So, let's give them a round of applause and welcome Chairman Stuart to give a speech!"After he finished speaking, he started clapping.A thunderous wave of applause erupted from the crowd.Skylar handed the leash to Ben and took two steps forward. As he saw the hundreds of prominent figures below, his face flushed with enthusiasm.Proudly, he said, "Firstly, I want to thank all of you for attending this banquet. I, Skylar Stuart, am deeply grateful! Secondly, tonight's banquet is to celebrate the establishment
Ben smiled coldly and said, "Wait for him to come back? I'm worried that he won't dare to return at all! If he dares to come back, I'll play with his woman right in front of him and make him wish he were dead, heh!"Elias roared with all his strength, "I'll kill you!" He struggled and resisted with all his strength.However, Ben just gave him a slight tug, making him fall to the ground. Ben stepped on Elias' face and sneered, "The richest man in Neptuna? Right now, you're just a piece of trash under my foot!"Then he looked at everyone watching. "What are you all waiting for? Opportunities don't knock twice. If they are taken away by someone else, you won't even hear their screams." He laughed arrogantly after that."No, please no!"Elias couldn't struggle, so he could only look ahead and desperately shout, "Who can save my wife and daughter? Please! Save them!"Kylie was soaked in fear and also looked ahead, like a drowning person seeking a lifeline. She panicked and pleaded, "N
"What ... ""Uh ... ""Ah ... "Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, their eyes so wide that they were about to pop out of their sockets. They were so astonished that they could only make incoherent sounds. Some of the timid people were crying out of terror.Skylar and the other two were almost scared out of their wits. Could there really be a curse? If they laid a finger on these women later, would they also meet a tragic end?Not to mention them, even Kylie and the others were dumbfounded. While others might not be aware, they knew that they didn't have any curses on them, but they didn't know how to explain what had just happened.Immediately after, a voice came from the back of the crowd. "Remus!"Everyone turned their heads towards the sound. At the back of the crowd, a figure was slowly walking up—it was Remus!He'd launched the attack. His original plan had been to go to Centurio to find Jean. Yet before he could leave, Max had told him that Jean had left somet
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Remus waved his hand and a piece of stone shot out from his fist, hitting right onto the center of Ludwig's forehead, shattering it into pieces instantly."I don't need to know the name of someone who's dead!"Everyone present felt a heavy blow to their heads as their vision turned dark, and they almost collapsed.After all, this was the external representative of the Steele family, and he came all the way here on behalf of Leonard. According to his title, he was equivalent to an imperial inspector. And yet, Remus dared to make a move against him? And even killed him?"Uh ..." Skylar was so scared to the point of almost passing out."You ..." Ben wet his pants from the shock.Remus remained expressionless. When he found out that Jean had left, his heart had turned cold, and he only wanted to go to Centurio to find her. He wanted to resolve the matter at hand as soon as possible. He slowly looked toward Skylar.Remus turned toward Skyla
In this world, those who were in power could do whatever they wished. If this matter were in the hands of a powerful man, they would simply brush it off like a speck of dust. On the contrary, it would be a huge pressure if the matter was given to a nobody. Obviously, Remus was a nobody in this situation."Remus, leave, please. This is your last chance." Kylie cried. It was pointless for him to ask these questions. Even if he felt it was unfair, there was nothing he could do.Miranda bit her lip before saying, "Society has always been cruel. You're deemed powerful if you're influential enough. If the Steeles or the Stuarts wanted to take action against you or us, no one would say a word. But if you dare touch them, you might not even know how you died. Run while you can, Remus."Skylar rolled his eyes and was afraid Remus wouldn't understand. So he scolded, "Are you guys dumb? Persuade Mr. Cosby to leave. Now!"The crowd looked at each other, and none wished to help Remus. Instead,
When Kaiser heard this, he involuntarily trembled, not out of fear but because he was infuriated. It was clear from Wayne's tone that there was a strong sense of disdain, even outright contempt!The ten women also looked angry. The 1.4 billion citizens were silently clenching their fists. The previous grievances hadn't been avenged, and now they were showing off their power again. Did Wayne think he could treat the Mortal Realm however he wanted?Though Kaiser was upset, he couldn't express it. As the president, any impulsive decision would have to be borne by all the citizens, so it was crucial to proceed with caution.He replied, "Mr. Morrow, you should know that forcing something doesn't yield good results. If you try to force the outcome that the Upper Realms desire, it may backfire. Instead, consider easing up a bit, and you might achieve a different, perhaps better, outcome."If they couldn't fight back, they could only try to reach a compromise.However, what no one expecte
"The emperor attacked from the outside, while Candace's attack came from within!"Remus paused once again. This time, he stayed silent for about 10 minutes before looking up at the sky with excitement and exclaiming, "I understand now!"The true sequence of events was like this: Candace did intend to kill me, and I was indeed on the verge of disappearing, but the Pathic Energies' protection prevented me from vanishing.""The truth is exactly what I initially thought. If I compare it to humans, my specter has been severed from my body but hasn't left it. It's more like my specter has been forcibly sealed within my body! That's it!"Although the conclusion reached was the same as initially, the evidence used to support it was completely different. It could be said that he had guessed correctly initially, but now it was confirmed as true!"If in the Mortal Realm, one can be revived if their specter merges with their body. So, right now, I should be able to wake up once I merge with m
All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of
With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
