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
Soon, Remus arrived at the location. He had been here once before. It was a town in Neptuna with a temple on the mountain. He had come here to find the Midnight Opal for Jean and encountered Miranda and Ben. Then, he saw Captain Larry alone by the roadside and felt he was totally different from last night. Today, he was in a full set of sportswear that made him look younger. So he asked, "Captain Larry, are we waiting for someone?"He didn't tell him the specifics on the phone. Captain Larry nodded and said nervously, "Yes. Goetz Malin will be here soon. He's going for a hike. Remus, you've created such a huge commotion in the province. Your chances of being approved to join the Dragon Team are high, but there will be pressure. Today, you must make Goetz remember your name. Then, you'll definitely be on the team." After all, Remus had killed so many people. There would be an internal riot about this matter.Remus was puzzled and asked, "What does he do?""Where are your manners?
"Wait!" Remus suddenly called out. Captain Larry shuddered in fear, thinking he would start a fight with her. He reminded him, "Remus, watch what you say! She's Goetz's granddaughter."Remus smiled. "Don't worry. The good thing about me is that I never argue with women. We have nothing in common. Goetz, are you going to the temple to pray?" Before Goetz could speak, Gemma said unhappily, "Bastard, what did you just say? I dare you to repeat it again." How dare he disrespect her grandfather!Remus ignored her and continued, "If that's the case, you don't need to go. It's not a mountain deity up there but a Mandrill. To put it bluntly, a monkey. I chased it away last time, so it's not really effective anymore." Gemma was furious that he had ignored her. No one in Centurio or Darsia had ignored her, not to mention someone from a small region like Durwad."Gemma!" Goetz stopped her.Then, he said, "Kid, it's good that you want to show off your skills, but you shouldn't lie. Al
On the hike, the more Gemma thought about it, the angrier she became. No one had dared to ignore her in years. Not only had he ignored her, but he'd also dared to mention her grandfather's disfigured face. "Grandpa, that guy is too presumptuous. You should fire him from the Dragon Team immediately. The Dragon Team is an important organization in the country; a guy like him doesn't belong on the team. He should at least be capable if he has such an arrogant attitude. He's just powerful in the Durwad, but he's nothing compared with the experts in the country. He shouldn't be part of the team." Goetz was furious but said seriously, "Gemma, you have to remember that the Dragon Team is one of the country's powerful tools, not a personal organization. Even though I haven't retired, I can't fire someone just like that. Besides, he's a capable kid, according to what Larry described. He should stay to contribute to the country."The reason Captain Larry still respected Goetz after retiring
Gemma thought of something and smiled. "Grandpa, wait for me. I'll be back in a jiffy!"As she spoke, she ran to a stall to buy some candles before entering the temple. She stood before the temple and prayed sincerely. "Deity, I didn't come here to make a wish. Instead, I'm here to tell you something. Below the mountain, Remus Cosby slandered you. He said he would beat your soul away and that you're ineffective. If you really hear me, you should take action against him. These candles are for you." After she placed the candles, she looked into the temple hall. If there really was a deity, she wished to see Remus beg for mercy. Just then, the sun shone through the dark clouds and lit up the statue. When Gemma saw it, her smile froze, and her eyes widened. She yelled in horror. "Gemma!"When Geotz heard her scream, he rushed into the temple and arrived beside Gemma in just a few big steps. It was obvious he was a Top Grandmaster. He asked nervously, "What's the matter?"Gemma point
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
"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
