"Ms. Lynch!" Everyone called out to her with a guilty conscience. "M-Ms. Lynch." Zelda was horrified and quickly retracted her feet as she did not expect Iris to come out.Then, she complained, "Ms. Lynch, she scolded me. She was rude, so I couldn't stand it and taught her a lesson." Iris' expression was cold. She glanced at Miranda before saying indifferently, "Get up. Hit her the way she hit you!" It was clear at first glance that Miranda would never do such a thing. Moreover, Miranda was her secretary. Zelda shuddered in fear and quickly pointed at the people behind her, saying, "Ms. Lynch, she scolded me first. You can ask them. They can vouch for me." The people behind her were horrified and remained silent. Furious, Zelda cursed, "Y-You … Useless bastards!"However, Zelda dared not resist Iris. Instead, she glared at Miranda with a warning gaze. It seemed as if Zelda would kill Miranda if she dared to look at her. Miranda got up from the ground, patted away the dirt
In the past, Miranda had Remus, who was a half-step to divine realm grandmaster, the king of two provinces, and also the most talented man in Darsia. Ebenezer benefited from taking care of Miranda.But things had since changed. Remus was dead, and he had seven serious crimes pinned on him, so Ebenezer wanted nothing to do with him. He didn't want to get inflicted by Remus' problems.At this point, Miranda started to panic as staying in the Dragon Team was the only way she could avenge Remus. Even if she continued working in the business field, no matter how much money she made, she would never be powerful enough to fight the parliament.She quickly said, "Sir Ebenezer, I—" "Shut up!" Ebenezer did not give her a chance to speak. Instead, he Iooked at Iris and said, "Ms. Lynch, she's your secretary. You should approve her resignation letter. Get it done as soon as you can." Miranda looked at Iris with tears in her eyes. Only Iris could save her now. Seeing that, Iris frowned. "Sir
"R-Remus Cosby?" Iris was the first to speak. She was in shock."Remus!" Miranda thought she was hallucinating for a moment. "I-Impossible!" Ebenezer shuddered as Remus had just been executed. How could he be here? But this person looked too much like him. The others were also stunned, it felt as if they were dreaming. Remus walked over, and was reevaluating his previous impression of Ebenezer. Previously, Remus felt that Ebenezer was a nice guy who had helped him out countless times. He didn't expect him to be a sanctimonious bastard. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he walked straight to Miranda. Then, he supported her and said in distress, "I'm sorry you had to experience this. You don't have to worry now, I'm here for you." Miranda stared at Remus and felt that his touch was real. Still, she couldn't believe her eyes. Then, she said in a trembling voice, "R-Remus, is it really you?" Remus brushed her hair away from her face and wiped the blood on her face, feeling heartbro
An ear-piercing siren sounded in the whole Dragon Team's base, and red lights flickered. In three seconds, all of the members of the Dragon Team dashed out from their office. Some were grandmasters, while some were normal workers. When this siren was activated, it meant that intruders had infiltrated the Dragon Team.In just a moment, dozens of top grandmasters surrounded the area. Remus carried Miranda, and his body trembled. His inner force was activated, creating ripples in the air. The strong force quickly spread toward the grandmasters around him.Before the grandmasters could react, they felt a strong force pushed them. Then, they were knocked back and sent flying into the air. In the end, they all fell to the ground heavily and quickly.Then, Remus looked at Ebenezer. "How are you going to make me stay?" Ebenezer did not expect Remus to be so strong. All of the top grandmasters had experienced many battles but still lost to Remus. Even Iris was shocked, even though she ha
Everyone was shocked by Remus' words at first, then they became angry. Remus was too presumptuous. The Dragon Team was Darsia's biggest, most secretive organization. Even if no one could take Remus down, how could he even think about wiping out the Dragon Team? Ebenezer was infuriated, he clenched his fist and said, "Sir Marten, I've never seen such a presumptuous guy. Please punish him for the sake of the Dragon Team's reputation. I'm not his opponent, but I'm willing to fight him to the death!" The other grandmasters who were thrown back walked over in anger. Everyone was glaring daggers at Remus. They didn't care if he was a half-step divine realm top grandmaster. No one was allowed to ridicule the Dragon Team's reputation. "Sir Ebenezer is right. No one can ridicule the Dragon Team! I'm willing to fight for the Dragon Team!" "We're not scared of death!" "Sir Marten, please allow us to sacrifice ourselves. We are willing to give everything to fight for the Dragon Team!"
Although Miranda had planned to become the leader of the Dragon Team one day and avenge Remus, it was a plan that would take decades to accomplish. She had only been here for a few months, and Marten was offering her the position of deputy leader? Panicked, she waved her hand. "Sir Marten, I don't—" Marten interrupted her. "You can do it. This matter has been settled then. From now on, Miranda Bowen is the deputy leader responsible for six small teams in the Dragon Team. She will be responsible for the Southwest area." Miranda panicked and quickly looked at Remus for help. Remus smiled. "Since everyone likes to abuse their power, I'll use my fist to help you out. It's fine if you don't want this position, I'll just erase the Dragon Team from existence." Once again, the crowd was silent. What did having a strong background, power, and status meant? Remus was a perfect example of that. He used the most simple and domineering way that no one could resist.Miranda was silent, and
Remus departed from the Dragon Team's building with Miranda after that, leaving the Dragon Team in a depressing state. The Dragon Team had been developed for centuries and was always prided as the ultimate weapon of Darsia. Today, they were not only taught a lesson, but Remus even humbled them. It was a great ridicule. Ebenezer kneeled on the field as all the members of the Dragon Team looked on. Marten looked exhausted as he walked over to him and asked, "Do you feel unjust?" "Of course not! Remus is a divine realm top grandmaster, a rare talent. How dare I feel unjust if you've given the order, Sir Marten? I don't feel aggrieved dying in such a situation," Ebenezer said awkwardly. "So you resent me." Marten shook his head as he could hear the unwillingness in his words. He knew Ebenezer was unhappy.Then, he looked at the other members and said, "Those in the upper management, stay. As for the others, get back to work." There were other departments and positions in the Dra
Ebenezer, Iris, and the higher management of the Dragon Team were shocked. Before they could react, Marten said, "Did you think that was all?"After a pause, he continued, "The financial big shots, the richest families, and even the royals held emergency meetings and removed their fundings to Darsia. They even planned on attacking us." This piece of news made everyone even more shocked, to the point that they forgot to breathe. Who was Remus Cosby truly? His connections could end the world. Marten's eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. "Do you know why nothing happened to Remus Cosby? It's because the president showed up and even bowed to him. Only then did we save thousands or even millions of innocent lives. "In order to repay the president's kindness, Remus agreed to let a death row prisoner be disguised as him and be beheaded on the streets to save Darsia's dignity. Now, tell me, do you still feel aggrieved? Can you die in peace now?" Marten shouted that last sentence. H
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
