The office was surprisingly small, about 65 square feet, and the decorations were decent. There was a painting of a dragon flying through the clouds as it looked at the world with twisted eyes. It was so lifelike that it seemed like it would fly out of the painting any second. Under the painting was an office desk, where a lady in her 40s was seated. She looked very professional with her tidy, short hair.

"Ms. Lynch," Larry called out as he gave her a smile. "This is Miranda Bowen, and she will be joining the Dragon Team today. She's a smart lady, and I would like to recommend her for the position of your secretary."

There was no expression on Iris' face. Just like Remus had expected, she appeared cold, and her eyes were particularly frosty.

"Ms. Lynch. I'm Miranda Owen. I will do my best if you give me a chance to work beside you." Miranda was very nervous since Iris was a powerful woman who was ranked higher than Frank in Neptuna. She was one of the top leaders in Darsia.

    "This—" Iris frowned. In the past, she'd been responsible for the team in Nawad, where she'd only had to deal with problems. Now that she'd taken up the position of deputy leader, she also had to consider interpersonal relationships and her influence. It was too tedious to think about! Alaric knew she was in a dilemma from the expression on her face. So he turned to the door and said, "Larry, it's great that you introduced a secretary for Ms. Lynch, but you should make some observations before making a decision. Ms. Bowen isn't suitable for this role. Maybe she can work in other departments. That's settled, okay?" Miranda was anxious, but she didn't know what to do. She didn't have a chance to speak in front of such powerful people. Larry's expression was ugly. He bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Brave, I'm not recommending the secretary to you, so how would you know if she's suitable? Besides, Ms. Lynch has already agreed. We can revisit this topic after Ms. Bowen has worked for

    Remus and Blythe came to a small circle of people that had formed in the middle of the crowd. There were seven people, and six of them were surrounding a young man. He was the one who'd obtained first place in the overall appraisal, Ike Hoyles. With a smile, Blythe introduced, "Ike, this is my new friend, Remus Cosby! He's good at wizardry, martial arts, and communication! He can join our group."After Blythe introduced Remus, everyone turned to look at him. After they finished sizing him up, contempt filled their eyes. Before they'd joined the assessment, they'd heard about the experts who would be here, but Remus' name didn't ring a bell. Therefore, they deemed him to be ranked at the bottom and not worthy of being respected. Ike ignored Remus and said, "Blythe, the assessment of communication isn't just based on the number of people. We must focus on the quality too! If you pull anyone into the team, it'll lower our grades. I only let you in because of money. Otherwise, you wou

    Then, they turned their attention to Miranda. Their hearts raced as Miranda walked closer toward them, thinking that even if they couldn't have her, they could at least appreciate her beauty. "She's walking toward us!" "She must be! We're currently the strongest team. If my guess is right, she's coming for Ike! Ike got first place in the overall appraisal, after all!" "She must be going toward Ike Hoyles! He's the strongest here!" Hearing everyone's praise, Ike also thought they were right. Who could the beautiful lady be looking for except for him if she was coming in this direction? If they could be on the same team, they would be an envious couple on the Dragon Team. Therefore, Ike felt it was time for him to be a gentleman. Clearing his throat, he smiled and said, "Miss, are you looking for me—" "Remus!" Miranda didn't even look at him. She walked past him and straight to Remus. "You're here—" Ike, Blythe, the small group, and the other candidates were all dumbfounde

    At the same time, Larry walked over with a guilty expression. He'd tried his best to negotiate, but he was too soft-spoken, and the power of his words was insignificant. "Remus, I … I'm sorry!" "Don't worry. You've tried your best." Remus smiled. He wasn't surprised. Back then, Rain had also bullied Larry, not to mention a deputy leader like Alaric. Sighing, Larry nodded and asked tentatively, "Why don't I let Miranda join the review team first and move her to other departments later? I just need more time." He didn't want to put Miranda there because he knew that department was infested with many useless rich kids and that Miranda wouldn't improve. Moreover, no one respected the review department. Unfortunately, he had no other way to deal with this situation at the moment. "Are you guys going to take the assessment? If you give up, leave this place right now! Don't disturb our assessment!" A voice sounded from a distance. The three of them looked over at once to find the ot

    None of the people at the scene had ever imagined seeing Zelda in person. "Fuck!" Larry cursed. Alaric's introduction was such a blatant attempt at cheating! Unfortunately, the family background was useful to the communication round, so Alaric hadn't said anything out of place. Still, they were clearly bullying Miranda! Iris also frowned, feeling unhappy. On the contrary, Zelda stood out and proudly said, "As you heard, yes, I'm from the Long family. The leader of the Long family is my uncle. Let's not drag this matter on. Who wants to stand with me?" After that, she took two steps into the crowd and rolled her eyes at Miranda. She'd make sure Miranda suffered in the assessment." Without surprise, everyone rushed to be part of her team. Even if they couldn't pass today's test, it would benefit them if they stood on Zelda's side. None of them were fools either, and they'd noticed the examiner's obvious bias through his speech!In the end, 92 people stood behind Zelda among th

    Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe what was happening. Even Alaric was taken aback by the situation. How could a beautiful woman have such arrogance? She had a much different personality than her appearance suggested. Iris was the only one who looked away with a frown. As she looked at Remus, she understood what was happening. In the past, when she'd overseen the cases in Nawad, there had been a religion known as Masanisim. They were known for Soul Devour, Soul Attract, and Soul Return. They were also skilled at killing one in their dreams!Remus should be performing Soul Devour, which meant that he'd temporarily put his soul into Miranda's body to control her soul. To do so, there were two conditions. He'd either have to take the hair, blood, or skin of the person being controlled. The second condition was a close distance.However, this method had serious side effects, so it was rarely performed. Zelda was infuriated. She'd seen presumptuous people but had never faced on

    Blythe was on the verge of tears, wondering why Miranda was being so stubborn. Then, he turned to look at Remus. Only to find that he had his eyes closed. "What are you guys standing there for? Fight!" Zelda was furious and ordered, "Beat him up too! Do it now, and beat them as hard as you can! Don't you guys want to get close to me?" The candidates didn't want to beat Blythe since they'd accepted his money. However, they wanted to make a connection with Zelda even more. "Make him leave!" Someone shouted. Then, a dozen people rushed toward Blythe. Shocked, Blythe squeaked in fear, and his face was pale. He quickly ran in the opposite direction, as he was only a pinnacle grandmaster. That meant that he could defeat one at a time, but he would definitely be beaten up if he faced more than two. "Ms. Long, let me deal with him." The candidate ranked 11th stood out. Licking his lips, he squinted. "Lady, I won't show mercy, so you better be prepared." When he finished speaking, h

    Zelda prepared to apologize, but Miranda didn't give her a chance to speak. She pulled Zelda's collar and slapped her, asking, "Are you going to scold me again? Are you going to fight for my spot? Do you think you can abuse your power?" Every time Miranda asked a question, she would slap Zelda once. As an ordinary person, Zelda had no strength to resist, and soon her face was swollen. "Run, run! We admit defeat—" Blythe shouted, returning to the spot as he was being chased by the other candidates around the space. Just as he'd returned, he'd asked Miranda to run with him. Suddenly, he realized Ike was below her feet, and she was slapping Zelda. Then, he took in the people moaning on the ground around her. What was going on? The people chasing behind Blythe quickly stopped. They had been running too close to each other, so they crashed into each other and fell to the floor. Rather than feeling pain, they thought they were hallucinating. "Stop!" Alaric finally snapped to his se

    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
