Everyone was shocked that Darsia's first Secretary of State was here. Everything that happened in Darsia had to be reported to the secretary of state first, he also had the right to decide the outcome of most matters.As for the major and important events that involved Darsia's whole government, they would be reported to the president. In the cabinet, the first secretary of state had the highest power, only second to the president.The crowd looked over to find an elderly man with gray hair taking the lead. He looked like he was in good spirits, and he had a sense of nobility. This man was Solomon Stanley, Darsia's first Secretary of State who was in control of Darsia. Beside him was Senior Baker. He quickly said, "Remus, you don't have to worry. No one can hurt you today!" He was on his way to meet the president of the country, but Soloman met him halfway and asked him to come back. The crowd was stunned. Remus retracted his inner force and nodded, accepting Senior Baker's kindn
The tension was high. If Jean didn't make a decision, everything would become complicated. Wallace clenched his fist and thought, "This bitch! How dare she try to cause more trouble at such a critical time!"Wallace quickly said, "Sir Solomon, my sister is young, so she's incapable of deciding for herself. According to Darsia's tradition, the parents would be their children's matchmakers. My father has gone abroad on a trip, so I'll take his place to decide since I'm her brother."After a pause, he said, "I … I shall let her marry Sir Xavier of the freestyle organization." No matter what, Remus had to die today. The crowd was worried when they heard Wallace's decision. Senior Baker wanted to speak, but this was Darsia's tradition. Jean panicked. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words.Solomon thought about it and nodded. "If that's the case, Remus is in the wrong. Someone, get Remus cuffed and take him away. Put him into jail and wait for his hearing."
Remus couldn't just let Senior Cedric go like that. Remus was here to marry Jean, but they wanted to imprison him. Moreover, Senior Cedric had fought a Mundane, yet no punishment was imposed on him. This was unfair. Sir Solomon stopped and frowned. "You're teaching me how to do my job?" Remus' attitude was neutral. "No, I just want things to be fair. You should treat him the same way you treated me. He fought me, so he should be imprisoned."The crowd was shocked as no one expected Remus to say that. Everyone felt that Remus getting back Jean was the best outcome. Unexpectedly, he wanted more out of this. Senior Cedric panicked. If the first secretary of the state gave out the order, there would be too much trouble.Remus quickly said, "Sir Solomon, I've explained the situation. He came here to take away my bride, so I had no choice but to take action." He also added, "I was only protecting my fiancee from getting into someone else's hands. How could I be the one who's wrong?
All of the guards exerted their force at once. Instantly, the crowd could feel a huge pressure as if the sky fell on them. Remus remained motionless and said, "Sir Solomon, my request is simple. All I'm asking for is fair treatment." "How dare you resist!" Solomon was furious. "Why shouldn't I speak out when it's unfair?" Remus gritted his teeth.On the side, Senior Baker, Goetz, and the others almost fainted. Resisting Solomon was equivalent to resisting the parliament, and it would mean going against Darsia. Senior Cedric took the chance and pushed his spirit energy toward Remus. Seeing that, his ten disciples followed. Ten pinnacle top grandmasters and ten True Life disciples attacked Remus. Together, their force was horrifyingly powerful. Remus spurted a mouthful of blood before asking, "Why can't you give me a fair judgment?" Greg, Tristan, and the other smaller families saw this as an opportunity to prove themselves. So they ordered their guards to attack Remus. On
The crowd was shocked at Remus' words. This was the second most important person in Darsia he's talking to! Remus was holding him by the neck, and was even questioning his actions. Remus must be out of his mind! What shocked them even more was the dowry Remus had brought over. How could Remus suddenly become so powerful after taking it? How could there be such a cheat-like item? At that moment, Wallace was in deep regret. He should have accepted the dowry. Solomon was lifted from the ground, and his expression was twisted. "How dare you touch me! From now onward, you're enemies with everyone in Darsia. Everyone in this land will despise you!" As Darsia's first secretary of state, Solomon had this right. Remus' eyes were red as he said, "You're right. However, you wouldn't have the chance to witness that. You will never have the chance to see this land again! Sir Solomon, you might be the first secretary of state in the living world, but you're nothing in the underworld. I'll
"I'll have to protect my own justice!" Remus' words were enlightening. Then, he turned to Senior Cedric and said, "Do you think you'll get a chance to live? It's your turn to receive judgment. You should die for using True Life to suppress me and for snatching my wife!" As he finished, he waved down his hand. At this point, Senior Cedric had exhausted all his energy, so he was no different from a normal human being. With just one move, he fell to the ground, and everyone could hear his bones breaking.Senior Cedric was in deep regret. Why didn't he observe the situation earlier? If he had noticed the fortune fruit and inner pill, he wouldn't hesitate to exchange Jean for those two things. He said fearfully, "You can't kill me! I belong to the Freestyle organization! If you dare to kill me, my people will avenge me! You can't even imagine how powerful the Freestyle Organization is! If you let me go, I'll forget everything that happened here. Let me go!" Everyone looked at Remus
Everyone trembled when Remus looked over. They looked up at Remus and felt like he was a divine being who had descended from the skies. At this point, they knew there was nothing he wouldn't do. Greg couldn't handle the pressure and cursed Ned in his heart. It turned out his prediction was not accurate. Remus was fine and well.So he kneeled and begged, "Remus, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Sera is waiting for you at home. Y-You have to forgive me. My daughter is your fiancee." The other offenders quickly followed. Tristan kneeled and pleaded, "Mr. Cosby, I will never try and take revenge on you again. Please show mercy. Please, the Longs will serve you loyally from now on—" Before he finished, the other small families that had been saying bad things about Remus also kneeled and asked for forgiveness."Remus!" Jean bit her lip and looked at him. "They are not a threat to you. Can you please let them live?"Many people had died today, and the Lotus villa was covered in blood. S
Remus left Centurio with Jean, and he arrived at one of the mountains. All of a sudden, blood burst from Remus' arms. His blood vessels had exploded. Then, there were consecutive explosions on both arms. Even the blood vessels in his calves, stomach, and face exploded. The Black Mamba had cultivated for centuries to create the inner pill. It wasn't possible for the human body to completely absorb the inner pill, and Remus was still a mortal after all. Remus' body couldn't withstand the strong energy and it caused his blood vessels to explode. "Remus? Remus! What's going on? What's happening? You're freaking me out!" Jean was shocked.Remus could feel that his blood vessels, the meridians in his body, and his brain were being stimulated. Therefore, he had to descend to the ground as he muttered, "I-I'm sorry."He fainted after that, leaving Jean shouting, "Remus! Remus!"…At the same time, a tight blockade was imposed on the situation in the Lotus. However, most of the influe
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
