There was a loud boom, and Leonard's stomach was deflated. His mouth was wide open. He didn't spurt out any blood. Instead, organs came out of his mouth. "Remus Cosby!" Captain Larry wanted to stop him, but he was too late. He watched as Leonard vomited different organs. It was obvious that Leonard wouldn't survive. Remus looked down and sneered. "Do you want to continue asking me to kill you?" Leonard’s eyes were wider than ever. It felt as if his eyes would burst from their sockets due to the immense force. He couldn't understand why Remus was so brazen to take action against him when Captain Larry was here. This meant that Remus was going against the Dragon Team. It was also equivalent to being enemies with Darsia. Was Remus crazy? Soon, Leonard felt he was getting closer to death. He started panicking. He wanted to beg for mercy but puked another mouthful of organs. Finally, he realized he was dying. Regret consumed him. He shouldn't have provoked Remus. He still had so muc
"Tie him up and take him away." The four people received the order from Captain Larry and were about to take action. Suddenly, Remus shouted, "No need for that!" Then, he continued, "Unless I really wish to be captured, no one can catch me!" After that, a colossal force erupted from his body, and he pulled the ropes. With four muffled sounds, the ropes snapped. Before the four people could come to their senses, they were pushed backward by the huge force. They fell to the ground with horrified expressions.These ropes were specially made by the Dragon Team and were used to capture Grandmasters. At the initial stage of making this rope, they tested it on two seven-realm Grandmasters by having them start a tug of war. However, it was never broken. In light of that, Remus had tugged them, and they had snapped. The thought was terrifying to them. "You—" Captain Larry was dumbfounded as they had tied down countless Grandmasters with this rope. He felt an ache in his chest now tha
"Yes, Mr. Gildon, let us find out what’s happening inside!""We've waited for almost an hour. It should be over by now. If they don't come down, will we wait the entire night?""We just want to have a look. We won't disrupt the scene."The onlookers rushed forward and demanded to see the aftermath of the battle that took place inside the villa.Frank and Max were hesitant and were faced with a dilemma. They were worried that the battle was not over. Therefore, they wanted to wait a little longer."Please, Mr. Gildon, Commander Baxton. Let us go up and have a look." Kylie's voice was hoarse from crying, and her eyes were swollen. She shuddered at every sound that rang out from the mountain.Miranda bit her lip as tears rolled down her face. "Just think of it as going to retrieve Remus’ corpse, okay? We just want to retrieve his complete corpse. Is that too much to ask?"She didn't believe Remus would survive the gunshots, so she had lost all hope. Now, she only wished to bury Rem
The group lost formation, and thousands rushed up the mountain, scrambling to reach the top. Everyone wanted to see what had happened. Their movements even caused the mountain to tremble. Soon, everyone arrived at the villa. When they saw the scene, they felt their bodies go numb. It was like a waking nightmare. "The guards are still here! They are squatting on the ground with their guns. They didn't kill Remus with the guns!""Look! There are a bunch of bullets! They’re all piled together.""Could it be that … Remus had caught them all?"Upon hearing that, everyone was even more shocked, and some even fainted. Most looked up at the figure on the roof. However, Remus was still reading the letter as if he didn't notice what was happening below him. "Impossible! That person on the ground is Grandmaster Elmer. He is third on the martial arts ranking in Durwad. Did Remus defeat him?" Everyone was shocked."Something's wrong. Look at the person kneeling among the guards. That's
His actions shocked the crowd. They thought he might have gone mad after committing murder. "Presumptuous! Do you know who you're speaking with? This is Mr. Gildon and Commander Baxton. Killing Leonard makes you a murderer, but if you offend Mr. Gildon and Commander Baxton, you're our enemy!""Mr. Gildon and Commander Baxton, might I suggest dispatching a troop to take down this arrogant bastard? We can't let a kid like him mess around in the province!""I petition to have him executed in the name of justice!"There were many people among the crowd who worked with the Steeles. They were making a fuss mainly because Leonard’s death would affect their businesses. Therefore, they wanted Remus dead to vent their resentment."Shut up!" Frank shouted. He was drenched in sweat when he saw the token. He knew that this belonged to the Dragon Team. This team was not responsible for punishing talented people, but they supervised hundreds of officials. The government had no right to interv
Winston shouted, "That presumptuous bastard! How dare he kill my men! He doesn't know how powerful I am!"Leonard would always give him billions every year as a protection fee. Now that he was dead, he would lose a huge chunk of money, and that made him very angry. So he ordered, "Get the Black & White to take action immediately at Durwad! Behead him and show the public! Then destroy everyone who is connected to him. I want everyone to know that this is the punishment for fighting against me!" …Remus rushed back to Neptuna after receiving the news that Anthony was injured. "Congratulations on your successful return, Mr. Cosby.'"Congratulations on getting revenge, Mr. Cosby."Willow and Abe didn't leave, and they were waiting for Remus by the hospital’s entrance. They had heard about the news in the province and were very excited. Remus’ strength made him another strong supporter for them. They secretly scolded Durward for foolishly fighting against Remus instead of showing h
In the ward, Remus checked Anthony again to find that he had more than a dozen fractures, nearly a hundred soft tissue contusions, and internal bleeding. Fortunately, they rescued him on time, so his life was not in danger.Remus retracted his hand and said, "Rest for now. I'll call Dent to send some medicine for you so you'll heal as soon as possible. Tonight onwards, you'll be the underground king of Durwad." People like Anthony were willing to get their hands dirty and ready to offer him loyalty. He felt that Anthony should be rewarded as he had done well over the past few missions. Anthony's face was swollen and bruised. He lay in bed and chuckled. "Thank you, Mr. Cosby. It's my duty to help you. What?" He widened his eyes in shock when he realized that Remus wasn't just talking about Neptuna. Even Miranda and Kylie, who were standing by the side, were shocked. There were twelve cities under Durwad, and Neptuna was just one of them. This would mean that Anthony's power had
Now, they were openly fighting for a man. They felt truly embarrassed. Remus laughed. "Both of you invited me for dinner because you want some benefits, right? I won't let you down." Miranda and Kylie were taken aback and wanted to strangle him to death. Before they could speak, Remus said, "Miranda, your family owes me five billion for curing your illness. I don't want it anymore. That’s not all. I'll give you Neptuna Hotel. You'll also take over the Lotus Group business that Jean has left. Also, you'll be handling the Stuarts' businesses." After a pause, Remus continued, "Kylie, the Steele family has many businesses and properties, and since Leonard is dead, I know how to get them all for you!"Both women were shocked by his promises. Miranda was dumbfounded. She thought, "Neptuna Hotel? There are 140 plots of land from the Lotus family and also a medical contract with the War Department. Moreover, the Stuarts are a newly rich family in Neptuna. My family would have assets e
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
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
