"You can keep Pretty Duo. I'll handle this matter! It'll be fine!" Bruno and the others were furious after hearing what Blythe said. However, they couldn't say anything to Remus. Remus shook his head. "Don't worry. They're just little toys. Since I decided to give them back, I will. It's not very important. As for Kylie and the others, I'll carve a gemstone for them."To be honest, Remus didn't think Mr. Charles's skills were great. Otherwise, he would've paid more attention to it. The Sarons felt relieved by Remus' words. Mr. Charles, however, was unhappy. The items he carved always created a frenzy in the market, and each was considered a masterpiece. How could Remus describe it as a "toy" and say it wasn't even important? Infuriated, he glared at Remus. "You ignorant Darsian! Do you know who I am? Do you know Pretty Duo is a masterpiece I spent three years creating? How could you look down on it? Are you underestimating my skills?" Remus found this blonde man funny, as
The Sarons were shocked. Although that Devil's Work Ball had been glued back together after it had broken, it was still a one-of-a-kind, legendary carving from a divine being. Some even said it had fallen from the sky. They had put in a lot of effort to get it and planned to make it a family heirloom. They had no intention of giving it to anyone. When Remus heard that, he stopped in his tracks, wanting to help Blythe.If that's what Mr. Charles wanted, it wasn't a hard task for him to complete. After all, he'd also made one back when he'd made Jean's protection rune. "No, no. That's something I can't do," Bruno replied. "Although this Devil's Work Ball isn't perfect, it's our family's heirloom. Mr. Charles, please choose another item." "Yes, yes. We can satisfy anything you want, but you can't have our Devil's Work Ball," Karen said. The other Saron family members nodded in agreement. The Devil's Work Ball had an exquisite carving, and they had to add it to their collection.
Blythe was shocked by what Remus said, while Mr. Charles laughed hysterically. "You ignorant Darsian. Do you know how to carve a Devil's Work Ball? Do you even know what it is? It's uncanny workmanship that only divine beings are capable of. And you're telling me you know how to carve that? You're really amusing! Hahaha!" Bruno turned to look at the Saron family members, gesturing for them to stop laughing.He seriously said, "Mr. Cosby, I understand that you want to help us out. However, the Devil's Work Ball isn't something you can just carve. Please have some respect for yourself." Karen looked at her son with doubt. She wanted to ask if Remus was truly the king of two provinces or a madman. Feeling embarrassed, Blythe gave up struggling and stayed on the floor obediently. Helplessly, Remus shook his head, as no one believed him. After a brief hesitation, he walked forward. They were inside a treasury filled with gemstones. Some had been carved, while others were still in
After five minutes, Remus showed them the Devil's Work Ball again. This time, it was much more exquisite. The flowers looked like they were blooming, and it seemed as though the animals had come to life.Now Blythe wasn't the only one shivering from shock; all of his relatives were also stupefied. As for Charles, he almost pulled his hair off. No one could believe what they were seeing. Remus had actually carved a Devil's Work Ball! "Take it," Remus urged. Seeing that they were scared, he put it back in place and walked out of the room. Everyone returned to their senses only when Remus had walked to the courtyard. "Mr. Cosby!" Bruno chased after him and quickly stopped before Remus. Now, he no longer had the majestic bearing of the leader of the Saron family. Looking helpless, he nervously said, "Mr. Cosby, what are you doing?""Well, I'm leaving. Didn't you tell me to leave before?" Remus wasn't angry, but he just wanted to leave. He'd only turned around to carve the Devil's
Remus replied, "I carved that. I used most of the jade to make a protection rune, so I carved that for fun. Then, I smashed it to get the protection rune inside." Everyone was shocked to learn that Remus was the one who'd carved this and that he'd even created a protection rune inside the Devil's Work Ball. If that were the case, how many layers did this Devil's Work Ball have? The Sarons and Mr. Charles were dumbfounded. They looked at Remus as if he were a divine being. …In the dining room, Remus had told them his purpose for being here."Mr. Cosby, I have to be honest with you. I can help you with any kind of gemstone, but I'm not knowledgeable about spirit stones. Why don't you find it yourself? If you do find it, you can take it away!" Bruno said generously. Spirit stones weren't something normal people would encounter. Only someone who knew wizardry and had higher levels of wizarding skills could identify and differentiate spirit stones. Remus shook his head, saying,
The valley was like a mine. Not only did they have to walk into the cave, but they also had to go down deep into it. After going down 300 feet, Bruno pointed the flashlight to the front. "Mr. Cosby, just in front." Bruno was suddenly excited. After he'd found this gemstone valley, he'd kept it sealed, and he'd never been here. Sometimes, he would even dream about gemstones here. Remus gave a faint response and nodded. He wasn't in a hurry at all. Suddenly, Blythe picked up a stone the size of an egg. It was an orangish yellow color, smooth and clear. It had a slight reflection after he shone his torch on it. "What's this?" "That gemstone is a grade of … That's at least an imperial-class level gemstone!" Mr. Charles yelled and snatched it up. After observing it, his eyes widened in shock. "Its weight is heavier than usual gemstones, and it's even clearer, meaning the price is higher. Mr. Saron, is this the gemstone you're talking about?" Although Bruno was also surprised tha
Finally, Bruno was able to breathe. Then, he shouted in a deafening voice. "I will kill whoever did this! I'll rip your body apart!" Remus covered his ears. "Stop shouting. It's not a bad thing that these gemstones were stolen. It's a good thing for the Sarons—" "Mr. Cosby! What are you talking about? How could this be a good thing? Don't tell me this is to prevent worse things from happening. I would rather that happen than let my gemstones be stolen!" Bruno clenched his fist in anger. He'd lost his mind and was ready to attack anyone, including Remus.Blythe called out to him. "Dad! My boss just saved your life!"Bruno gritted his teeth. "Mr. Cosby, please forgive me for being rude. However, I really can't take it anymore. I'll have to investigate who dared to touch my stuff!" With that, he turned to leave. Behind him, Remus said, "These aren't gemstones!" At first, Remus hadn't wanted to say anything, but after considering the fact that Bruno had shown him his secret and
Since the Sarons were in the gemstone business, they had many explosives. "Braxton … W—what are you doing?" Bruno was shocked."Uncle Braxton?" Blythe was dumbfounded. Why did his uncle want to kill his father?"What am I doing? I want to live! My good brother, you must have noticed the gemstones have been stolen! Yes! I was the one who stole them! Not only did I steal them, I even sold them to the Burkes of Huwad!" Braxton shouted. "What did you say? The Burkes in Huwad?" Bruno was furious. At this point, he didn't care about the gemstones since he knew they were urinary stones. However, he was agitated when he heard the mention of Burke, as they were rivals. Most importantly, his father had died at the hands of the Burkes. Braxton gritted his teeth. "Yes! The Burkes of Huwad! I've secretly been in contact with them for years now. I never wanted things to end like this, but you forced me to do it! "You didn't have a child for such a long time, and I should have been the su
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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
