The girl was so scared that she didn't even dare to cry. Instead, she kneeled and begged, "Sir, I won't call the cops. Please let me go. Please."If she were taken advantage of, she wouldn't want to live anymore. However, Grenold ignored her as he always did such things and did not feel guilty about it at all. Conversely, it only made him excited. Finally, Remus understood what he was doing, and his expression darkened. "I'm not interested. Let her go!" Although Remus wasn't a kind man, he wouldn't hurt innocent people. Grenold was taken aback but quickly laughed, "You're not satisfied with her? No worries. You can look out for more prey. If you have someone in mind, I'll have my men get them for you. You don't have to worry about the consequences. Only we know what happened. A lady once recognized me and even reported me to the cops. However, she was sent to the psychiatric hospital the next day. I promise your reputation will not be tainted."After that, Grenold took a sip of
Remus didn't like being at such events, so he casually replied to them and waited for the event to end. Seeing how uninterested Remus was, the crowd soon dispersed. Grenold also left as he had to host the global conference, and there were many things to prepare."Remus Cosby!" A lady in a dark purple evening gown walked over. She had a good figure, and her hair was tied into a high bun. She was beautiful, but most importantly, she had a rare heroic demeanor.Beside her were two young men in custom-made suits, and they had a majestic demeanor too. "Who are you?" Remus felt that she was familiar but couldn't figure out where they'd met. As for the two young men, he had no impression of them at all."I'm the war goddess' lieutenant, Valerie Spark!" Valerie replied. Remus was taken aback and recalled that Valerie was in full battle armor when they met at Lugio Island. That day she was barefaced and injured. Therefore, she looked totally different from before. As they say, fine fea
Remus ignored them and went to his seat, leaving the three of them enraged. Valerie stomped in anger because Remus not only retorted her but even ignored her.Then, she snarled, "Why are you being so presumptuous? You will never get Gabriela anyway! She's not interested in you at all."Johnny's expression was livid. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, the ones staying at the Cosbys' outer court are just wild bastards. He doesn't have any manners. Does he really think he's powerful?"Outsiders might think Remus was part of the Cosbys and they could never touch him, but as the seven most prominent families in Darsia, they had heard about how the Cosbys were divided. Although outsiders only knew the Cosbys, there was a difference between main and non-main members. The ones staying in the main court were the most powerful figures of the Cosbys, while the ones staying in the outer court were just workers of the Cosbys. "Shut up! You're the wild bastard!" Valerie cussed at hi
Johnny suddenly said strangely, "Remus Cosby, you're representing the Cosbys, and you guys are the most prestigious family in Darsia. You can't lose. You have to get that gemstone!" If Remus started to bid, Johnny would take advantage and humiliate him with money. When it comes to wealth, the Hewalts have never been afraid of anyone. "How can you call my full name as you please? Where are your manners? Will the Cosbys lose their status as the most prestigious family in Darsia if I don't bid? Will the Hewalts become the most prestigious family if you get that gemstone?" Remus glared at him unhappily and sneered. He didn't like Johnny's attitude.Johnny was furious that Remus didn't fall for his trap. Valerie rolled her eyes, thinking if Remus started a bid, she would follow and defeat him. So, she said, "The goddess of war might like it—" "Gabriela isn't materialistic—" "You!" Valerie trembled in anger. On the side, Geoffry was speechless and shook his head. Johnny coul
Moments ago, Remus had confidently called out such a high price but stopped just after one bid. It didn't seem right. Furious, Johnny slammed the armrest of his chair and stood up. Although Remus only bid once, he had increased the price by five times. Wasn't this guy deliberately pranking him? Then, Johnny glared at Remus, shouting, "Remus Cosby, you're playing with me, huh? Why didn't you continue with the bid after me?" Instantly, everyone's attention was on Remus. Instead of being angry, Remus casually said, "Why are you shouting in public? Where are your manners? You were the one who called for 60 billion dollars. Did I say it?"Of course, I'm a generous man. If you regret your decision, I can negotiate with the Burkes. I might buy it with 50 billion dollars since I'm rich." Not only was Johnny speechless, but Valerie, Geoffry, and the people at the scene were shocked by his comment. They knew Remus had succeeded in torturing Johnny by messing with his mind. Remus sou
When Remus heard them gasp in surprise, he retched. The fact that a hundred people ate urinary stones together was really disgusting."What's with your expression?" Valerie was about to put it in her mouth but stopped when she saw Remus' reaction. "Ignore him. He's just jealous that he didn't get to taste it. He's doing it on purpose. Valerie, taste it. It's salty, a saltiness I've never tasted!" Johnny urged. Remus almost vomited when Johnny said that. Meanwhile, Valerie hesitated before licking it. Immediately, her eyes lit up, as it was truly a kind of saltiness she had never tasted.On the side, Remus was speechless. Suddenly, Grenold spoke on stage. "Seeing is believing. Now that everyone knows this gemstone is special, I can only say Mr. Hewalt has a good eye for gemstones!" The crowd nodded in agreement, and some took the opportunity to flatter him. Hearing that, Johnny felt better and proudly said, "Well, I've always thought this Flaming Stone was something worthy.
The crowd was silent for a few seconds before a huge commotion erupted. The people couldn't help but speak out since they had licked the gemstone. "What? This is a urinary stone?""Impossible! There's no way! Urinary stones don't look like this!""Mr. Saron, you must be mistaken!"Johnny was taken aback. He had just spent 60 billion dollars on this! But this gemstone was huge, so it couldn't be possible. Grenold laughed as he pointed at Bruno. "Hahaha! Mr. Saron, you're amusing. You really can do anything to slander my family, huh? You're telling me this is a urinary stone? Where have you seen such a huge urinary stone? Your bladder would probably explode. Are you an elephant?" He didn't believe a word Bruno said. When the crowd heard that, they felt relieved. They didn't think there could be urinary stones of this size. However, Bruno seemed to change into a different person. He said, "You're right. This is the elephant's urinary stone. This urinary stone looks so much li
Valerie had secretly done a background check on Remus after the battle at Black Lake. She'd found out he had even cured Senior Baker. Therefore, it was possible that Remus was the wonder doctor. Everyone turned to Remus and suddenly remembered the incident about the resurrection pill at the Longs charity event not long ago.Indeed, Remus was a wonder doctor, and he was related to Stone Marley. Could it really be him?Suddenly, Johnny felt dizzy from the shock. Then, he recalled Remus saying that this gemstone looked familiar and that he'd even told them to lick it.Meanwhile, Grenold felt his heart stop. How could he forget about Remus Cosby? Could he be the wonder doctor? Only then did Bruno notice Remus. He quickly ran over. Remus had saved his life during the explosion at the gemstone valley, so he greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Cosby, we meet again. How have you been?" Remus smiled. "I'm doing okay." Seeing this scene, everyone at the banquet hall was puzzled. The two ob
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
