Anthony curled up and retched. He was a mess, vomiting gastric juice all over the floor. Still, the sect leaders circled around him.

“Dragon Head, how are you feeling?”

“Take him to the back!”

“Let’s fight for the Dragon Head. Kill that bastard!”

Behind all the sect leaders were at least hundreds of their subordinates. Hearing the command, all of them raised their weapons simultaneously. They stared at the door, ready to attack at any time.

Remus walked out calmly. When he saw the scene in the corridor, he smiled, unsurprised. Hearing the footsteps, he knew there would be a group. This must be a small group, and he guessed there would be more downstairs.

However, no matter how many ordinary people there were, they meant nothing to Remus. He asked casually, “Single combat? Or a group fight?”

Seeing Remus, everyone was shocked. Who was this guy? No one knew him, nor had they seen him. Everyone thought that a powerful fighter had returned. Instead, a young man appeared. Could it be that person’s underling?

The commander of the sect leaders raised his weapon to psych himself up. Then, he sneered, “Fine. I’ll fight you alone!”

“You’re not worthy,” Remus said concisely. “What I meant by single combat is me defeating all of you. As for group fight, I meant that all of you fight against me at once!”

After Remus finished, the group was outraged. They had never encountered such a shameless person.

“Bastard! You’re seeking death!”

The commander rushed forward alone! Just two steps before reaching Remus, he leaped at him, knives in each hand. One blade was aimed at Remus’s head. This blow could cut him in half!

Remus shook his head and thought, “This is too easy. I should’ve known that the outside world was not as fun as prison. Come to think of it, Underhill Prison was not that bad!”

With a swift kick, the commander was sent upward at great speed. He flew backward and fell heavily onto the group.

The group was gravely struck, and the sect leaders in front vomited blood as the force impacted them. Those behind them backed up, falling over themselves. Everyone lost their footing and fell back like dominos!

In a blink of an eye, no one in the 30-foot-long corridor could stand up.

“Urgh…” At the end of the group, Anthony was about to take the elevator down. Seeing the scene, he breathed in, and he was stunned. All his body's pores seemed to open up, and cold sweat drenched him!

Half of the sect leaders and hundreds of his subordinates were injured with just a kick. Was Remus a monster?

Meanwhile, Remus stepped over bodies as he walked forward, laughing. “Don’t run. You just said you’d do anything to kill me. You can escape now, but can you escape from me forever?”

Anthony peed his pants as he saw Remus walking toward him with a smile. He felt as if the Grim Reaper was near.

As the Underground King, he wouldn’t even frown when a gun was pointed at his forehead. Death was not scary, but desperation was! He had to admit that Remus was too powerful.

Anthony said in fear, “Who… Who are you? You… You can’t kill me. Otherwise, the Temple Lord will not spare you!”

“Who am I?” Remus raised his brow. “In your words, your Temple Lord cleans my toilet. How exactly would he be in a position to spare my life?”

“What?!” Anthony trembled with anger. The Temple Lord was majestic. In this country, he stood atop pyramids. How could Remus disrespect him like that?! He seemed so ordinary, but he turned out to be barbaric.

Without hesitation, Anthony kneeled on the ground. “Mr. Cosby, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I will be your loyal dog from now on. Woof! Woof!”

All the subordinates in the corridor were shocked to the core as they witnessed this scene.

Suddenly, Remus remembered a guy in prison who was treated like a dog. His name was…Scott Miller. He was around 60 years old. After being a dog for two years, he was given compassionate release. He was not sure if he was still alive.

He shook his head as his thoughts wandered. Then, he looked at Anthony. “I can forgive you, but do you know how to play turtle?”

Since he was the Dragon Head, he would be most suitable for playing turtle. Plus, it had been days since Remus asked someone to play, and he missed playing the game.

“I do!” Anthony immediately lay on the ground with his arms under his legs. Then, he faced the sky with his back to the ground. He looked like an overturned turtle.

Right now, Anthony had utterly lost his nobility as the Dragon Head. He laughed obligingly, “Mr. Cosby, is this acceptable?”

As he spoke, he twisted his body. Remus was much more powerful than the Temple Lord. If he could satisfy him, he would make it very far.

“Not bad,” Remus laughed. “However, you wanted to kill me. I won’t forgive you easily. Come, turtle. Go to the first floor and keep singing. Then, I’ll forgive you!”

Anthony knew well that thousands of his subordinates were below. He would lose all his dignity if he went downstairs in such a state. However, he remembered the fact that the Temple Lord was only Remus’ minion…

“Alright. Mr. Cosby, I’ll satisfy all your needs so you can be happy.”

Then, he shuffled along the floor while singing, “Looking at the calvary….”

Soon, he reached the stairs, then to the first floor. Everyone downstairs was dumbfounded. This was the Underground King of Underhill. Who was Remus to make the Dragon Head obey?

Before a thousand people, Anthony reached the door. “Mr. Cosby, are you satisfied?”

“I’m leaving.” Remus waved, about to depart.

“Mr. Cosby!” Anthony shouted. Then, he laughed, “Next time, please inform me if you need to go somewhere. I wish to be your driver.”

Remus was reminded that he had come in Kylie’s car. He didn’t know where she was right now, so he ordered, “Get the car!”

Immediately, Anthony stood up and followed his command.

No one in the crowd dared make a sound! Amidst the crowd, Kylie made a call. She said with difficulty, “Mr. Stuart, can you save Remus? The Dragon Head has him held captive.”

She couldn’t bear to see Remus die, but she was powerless. At first, she intended to tell Miranda about it, but she could not contact her. Ben, whom she had just met, was the most powerful person she could find at the moment!

Ben was happy to hear that. He knew the Dragon Head wouldn’t touch that brat, so Bald Richard must have attacked.

He cleared his throat and whined, “Why did you have to call me? Hold on. I’ll call Dragon Head now. Don’t worry!”

After he ended the call, he put the phone back in his pocket and slyly smiled. “Why should I care about that bastard’s life? However, I can give you comfort. I would’ve brought you to the hotel and comforted you if I did not need to attend Miss Lotus’ meet-up. Hehe.”

In his daydreaming, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over. It was Ben’s father, the leader of the new rich in Neptuna. He was Skylar Stuart, the president of Sky Group.

Skylar said, “Let’s go. We’re attending Miss Lotus’s meet-up, so you’d better ready yourself. From what I know, Miss Lotus is still unmarried!”

Ben’s eyes lit up. “What do you mean by that?”

    Skylar squinted, and anyone could feel the aura of success emanating from him. Then, he said, “In Neptuna, Elias Bowen and I are the only business partners qualified to compete. So, there’s a chance Ms. Lotus will choose us. You need to get closer to Ms. Lotus so we can officially become business partners.”Just the thought of hooking up with Jean Lotus excited Ben. She was the daughter of Centurio.Then, Ben asked, “What about Miranda Bowen?”He had accompanied Miranda for almost a year and thought he could capture her heart with Adeptus Gale’s assistance. However, a man came out of the blue and messed everything up. Since he had put in so much effort, he felt unsure if he could get Miranda to sleep with him.Skylar smiled faintly. “It won’t be affected. I ordered Adeptus Gale to call his senior. They will drug Miranda. This time, we will not fail. When her sickness resurfaces, you can win her heart easily. Be careful with your relationship with her. If Elias finds out, we will be

    Once Remus said that, everyone in the hall was shocked. But in the next second, laughter was heard. No one believed that a liar was worthy of Jean Lotus."You scoundrel. You must've heard me mentioning that Ms. Lotus would be at the Neptuna, so you've come here to commit fraud!" Brianne sneered."Sure enough, those who came from prison usually have something wrong with their heads." Elias shook his head. He had already sensed something unusual yesterday when Remus spoke back to him. How would a normal person dare disrespect him? Upon knowing the truth, Elias figured that Remus must have been beaten up when he was in prison.Miranda stood by the side, watching the scene indifferently. She looked innocent and stunning in her evening gown. Her looks were worthy of her title as the most attractive woman in Neptuna. "Mr. Bowen, this is your son-in-law? He doesn't seem the decent sort," Skylar teased.Elias quickly warned, "Mr. Stuart, please watch your tongue. We have no relation to h

    “Oh? So, your name is Jean Lotus. I’ll remember you… What?” Brianne threatened her subconsciously, but she realized something halfway through and screamed at the top of her lungs.Jean Lotus? Centurio’s Jean Lotus?Although she had only said a few words, it shocked everyone at the hall.“You…” Skylar was astonished.“What?” Elias’ forehead was drenched with cold sweat.“You’re…” Miranda’s face turned pale from fear.“Huh?” Even Remus was shocked. He slowly turned toward Jean. She was Jean Lotus? Wasn’t she Adam’s lover? Wasn’t Adam her sugar daddy?Jean took a step forward and stopped hiding. She radiated her aura as the daughter of a noble family and looked at Brianne, “Am I worthy now?”Brianne was so frightened that she hid behind her husband and dared not look up. Finally, she said in a trembling voice, “I-I-I—You—you’re worthy. I’m not.”Then, Miranda faced everyone and said, “Anyone dare to kill him now?!”The crowd was once again shocked and gasped.

    Jean seemed not to hear it and said to Remus, "Remus, wait for me here. I'll go get changed." She had intended to change at the Imperial Villa, but Remus had come back."Sure!" Remus answered concisely. He knew that there were too many people, so he would privately talk about the marriage cancellation once the banquet was over.After Jean left, another wave of discussions blew up in the hall. Everyone was making guesses at Remus' identity and why he came with Ms. Lotus. Moreover, they were curious if he had really just come out of prison. Some gloated at Ben's embarrassment, laughing that he had flattered the wrong person! Of course, most people went to drink with Remus to make some connections."Mr. Cosby, I'm sorry." Mr. Lawson got up from the floor and apologized. He was in great regret. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have scolded Remus. Instead, he would be trying to ride his coattails."Get lost," Remus said indifferently.At the other end of the hall, Skylar b

    Jean deliberately stopped speaking, which made everyone's hearts stop beating too. Elias subconsciously straightened up while Skylar held his breath and waited. They were worried that Jean would choose Remus since he came in with her. However, after hearing that the person she chose was excellent, wise, and outstanding, they knew it could not be Remus. He had just come out of prison and was a criminal with no relation to such terms!So, it meant that both of them still had a chance."Who is this person?" Jean teased further and looked toward Elias and Skylar with a smile. Her gaze filled them with exhilaration."It must be us. We'll be chosen!" Brianne couldn't help but mutter. Although they had just offended Ms. Lotus, the Stuarts' offense was more serious."This person is young…" Jean continued.Immediately, Ben was agitated, and the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing. He looked at Jean in a daze, thinking, "It's not dad, it’s me. Oh joy!"Skylar was excited, too, and l

    “In recent years, Skylar Group has been known as the fastest-growing company in Neptuna, and I have contributed significantly to its growth. So may I ask why can’t I be compared to Remus Cosby?!”Skylar secretly agreed. His son was a hundred times more outstanding than Remus. He wanted to see how Jean would reply to Ben.Jean stared at Ben and slowly said, “Because you’re like the horse that others ride!”Immediately, there was a burst of laughter. This matter was circled in Neptuna gossip, but no one dared to say it in public. Who knew Jean would be so cruel to say it publicly?“I…” Ben was speechless and wanted to hide from the shame. Skylar lowered his head and felt the laughter was ear-piercing. Elias dared not speak. The atmosphere became less tense. Then, to smooth out the atmosphere, Remus spoke a few words, and they started to drink. After he toasted all the tables, he returned to the reception room upstairs. In that room were those who had entered the hall last. “Unc

    When Remus folded his last finger…“Pfft…” Max vomited blood without any warning. He was sitting on the sofa, but after he vomited, he fell to the floor and fainted.All of the people were shocked by the scene. Then, it was chaos. Even Frank and Jean were dumbfounded.“Commander Baxton!”“Uncle Max!”“Quick! Call an ambulance immediately!”In just a few seconds, everyone in the reception room was utterly roused. Max Baxton was the provincial war commander. If something happened to him, it would incite mutiny in the war department, and the consequences could be disastrous.“It’s useless. Before the ambulance arrives, he’ll be dead,” Remus calmly said.Everyone looked at Remus simultaneously and noticed that he recognized that Max had a health issue.“Are you a doctor?” someone asked.“Guess.”“Can you save Commander Baxton?” another person asked.“Guess.” “I’m ordering you to save Commander Baxton now!” The mayor of Neptuna was suddenly angry. This was his territory, and h

    Frank, who had been silent, finally spoke. He was observing the situation to see if any changes would occur. However, it was unexpected that Remus was talented.The others remembered Remus commenting that Frank would rather die!Then, Frank slowly got up. "I'll leave with you two. Let's find another place to chat.""No need. I don't have time to chat," Remus directly refused. He wanted to chat with Jean privately. There was no time for him to consult patients. Plus, it was not like he treated anyone. Jean had a pleading look after hearing what Remus said. In the end, the three of them left together. Jean couldn't help but ask, "Remus, how did you know Uncle Max would…"It was miraculous, as he only took a look and noticed the problem. Furthermore, he could even estimate the exact time of death, which was unbelievable.Frank also listened. Over the years, he had met many talented doctors, but this was the first time he witnessed such a marvelous skill.Remus calmly laughed, "I

    All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of

    With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st

    Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an

    If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate

    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.

    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
