Chapter 11
Author: Oldwell
”Hold up!” Bald Richard called out, then carefully eyed Remus again.

People usually cowered at the sound of his name, so this young man really stood out. Bald Richard suspected that he was hiding something. Heck, he even dared to call the Dragon Head by name.

“You know the Dragon Head?” Bald Richard asked tentatively.

“Ask him that yourself,” Remus retorted.

Everyone realized how much of a big shot he was. No wonder he didn’t keep quiet or grovel before Bald Richard. Even the guy that was going to beat Remus up started to fear for his own safety.

Kylie frowned. Did Remus really know the Dragon Head?

Just then, Bald Richard’s phone call went through. His demeanor immediately turned sheepish as he asked, “Dragon Head, sir, are you busy right now?”

“Get to the point!” Anthony snapped. He was angry because he had just been informed of Remus Cosby’s true identity. Apparently, he wasn’t a highly-respected person; he was just some guy who had scrubbed the Temple Lord’s toilet!

Yes, his Temple Lord had told him to treat Remus right, but Anthony felt like he had disgraced himself by becoming the guy’s personal driver. He had even put the airport on standby for him! As the Dragon Head, he couldn’t behave that way!

“Alright, sir.” Bald Richard nodded vigorously. “There’s a guy here called Remus Cosby. He says you know him. Do you, sir?”

Kylie’s heartbeat sped up as she waited for an answer. If Remus really did know the Dragon Head, business would go much easier for her.

“Who? Remus?” Anthony bristled the moment he heard that name. “I don’t know which shithole he’s from, so no. Why? Is he there with you?”

Bald Richard lowered his voice. “Ben Stuart from the Stuart family ordered me to cripple him.”

Anthony thought things through momentarily. He could just pretend he didn’t know what was going on. If anything, an apology to his Temple Lord would suffice. Remus was just some cheap lackey after all, so Anthony wouldn’t get in too much trouble.

“Do it then,” Anthony grunted before hanging up the call.

After receiving confirmation, Bald Richard immediately turned to Remus, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. “The Dragon Head has spoken, kid.”

His pause left everyone holding their breath.

“What did he say?” Kylie asked.

“He said…to finish you off!” Bald Richard growled. “I was going to let you off easy at first, kid, but not after that stunt you pulled! You’ll be leaving here in pieces!”

“What?” Kylie gasped. She hadn’t expected this to happen! She should’ve known better than to trust Remus!

Remus blinked in surprise. “Anthony told you to finish me off?”

“Get him!” Bald Richard ordered. “Make sure he’s begging for mercy by the time we’re done with him!”

Just like that, all the lackeys lunged at him with weapons in hand, aiming for his weak points. The onlooking crowd and guests instantly retreated to safety, save for Kylie, who remained frozen with fear.

Much to everyone’s shock, the men soon landed on their asses, yelping in pain. It didn’t look like they were any match for Remus, like those guards from yesterday.

Kylie gaped, wondering how Remus had defeated them so easily when she didn’t even see him raise his fist.

“Anthony Mark actually said that?” Remus asked again, still finding the situation incredulous. Anthony had gotten soaked in the rain yesterday just to serve him. What had changed?

“I see you know a thing or two as well. No wonder you weren’t scared. It’s a pity that you’re fighting me right now!” Bald Richard declared, then swung a fist at Remus.

He had earned his place as sect head with hardcore training and proving himself over the years. He had even won three streets for their sect with nothing but his fists years ago. He became famous for his iron-hard fists. Those unfortunate enough to experience them were either left crippled or dead.

A loud slap landed on Bald Richard’s face.

“When did I give you permission to hit me?” Remus asked.

Bald Richard gaped in shock, fist still raised. He had felt the man slap him on the cheek, yet he hadn’t seen him raise his hand even once.

Another smack rang out.

“C’mon, talk.”

“I…”

He delivered another slap! Bald Richard flew backward while Remus concluded, “Ugh, you talk too slow.”

Bald Richard was left hunched over, spitting out blood and a few teeth.

Remus turned to Kylie. “Bring me to Anthony Mark.”

He didn’t like dragging things out or making a fuss. His master had taught him to always solve the root of the problem, so that’s what he would do.

Draculus Court, Anthony Mark’s flagship business, was one of the most successful entertainment establishments in Neptuna. You needed to have spent at least a million dollars to qualify for the lowest membership tier.

In the Nihil Suite, men and women sat together in silence, creating an atmosphere that did not match the club. In their midst, Ben Stuart was tossing back glass after glass of wine, awaiting Bald Richard’s call.

He had suffered one of the most humiliating moments in his life today. He had become the laughingstock of the equestrian world.

The horse had even…

“Slow down with the drinks, Benny. You’re ruining your liver,” a woman next to him said.

She was immediately met with a hard slap to the face.

“You dare order me around? Do you know who I am and what I can do to you, you whore? Get the fuck out of my sight!” Ben roared, making the woman flinch and tremble in fear.

Just then, his father called.

“Dad?”

“I heard about what happened to you. Come home for now. We need to prepare for the meeting with Ms. Lotus tonight.”

Ben sighed. “Alright.”

He swiftly went downstairs, but before he could reach his car, a Maserati slowed to a stop outside the entrance. The man who stepped out from the vehicle made Ben’s eyes bug out of their sockets.

“Remus Cosby!”

Why were his legs still functioning?!

“Oh. Hey, jackass.” Remus didn’t bother wasting his breath before striding into the club.

Ben’s knuckles were stretched pale. “You asshole.” Yet he couldn't try to fight Remus. He’d experienced the aftermath of that before and didn’t want to go through it again.

Just then, he spotted Kylie Cox getting out of the car too. His demeanor changed instantly, and he walked up to her with a polite smile.

“Hello there, miss. Are you one of Mr. Cosby’s friends? My name’s Ben, Skylar Stuart’s son and MD of Sky Group. I’d love to get to know you better.”

This card up his sleeve had always worked in the past.

Kylie gazed at him in awe. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stuart. I’m Kylie Cox from Cox Corp.”

It looked like it was going to work once again.

Remus made his way up to one of the higher-class suites, where two guards stood outside. If he guessed correctly, Anthony Mark should be right inside.

Just as he took another step, one guard said, “Stop right there. Name?”

“Remus Cosby.”

    The name sounded familiar to the guard. He glanced at him and told him to wait before turning toward the suite to report.“Watch the cavalry sent across the vast lands. I’m in the eye of the storm with…” Anthony stood in the middle, singing his lungs out. He liked the song “Five Hundred More Years;” he found it majestic. He frowned when the guard entered. “What’s the matter?”Anthony hated people walking around while he was singing.The guard bent down and whispered, “Mr. Mark, someone named Remus Cosby is looking for you.”Remus Cosby? Him again?Anthony’s expression changed as he thought, “Is this how Bald Richard takes care of things? I ordered him to cripple Remus, yet he’s at my door, looking for me?”“Tell him to leave. Tell him I’m not here!” Anthony said irritably.It would’ve all been fine if his subordinates had paralyzed Remus. However, if he did it and Remus reported it to the Temple Lord, it would attract unnecessary trouble.“Understood.” The guard turned and saw

    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.

    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

    At this point, there was not only a significant gap in strength between the two sides but also in numbers, creating a vast disparity.On Darsia's side, their deities included Francis, Roman, and the four ghost kings, as well as Candace and the remaining few dozen demons.Meanwhile, outside the border, aside from Amez and the Celestial Triad, there were nearly 100 other lesser gods. Although they hadn't reached the Emperor Stage, they were around the Golden Immortal Stage.Even if the deities led by Amez did not intervene, these small nations alone were enough to destroy Darsia.Darsia seemed to have already lost before the war could even start.At that moment, not only Darsia, but even Amelicon's faction had started to become restless. Previously, their lack of action could be understood as them waiting for the arrival of the smaller countries' deities. After all, they needed cannon fodder to hide behind.But now, the fodder was all in position—there was no need to wait any longe

    Four hours later, everyone outside the border could see deities from other nations arriving from afar. Although their numbers and power were not significant, the sheer quantity of enemy nations coming together was overwhelming."Mighty Amez Murray!""I have already led my country's deities here.""Mr. Murray, you're the supreme being of this world. I am willing to refer to you as the ruler of the deities.""I have led all the deities from my country here without exception, Mr. Murray!""Mr. Murray, the world has suffered under Darsia for a long time. Today, you leading the team to defeat Darsia is truly a blessing for the world and all living beings!"Voices kept ringing out. The number of deities standing behind Amez had grown so much that they extended beyond what could be seen with the naked eye. The balance of power between the two sides in the conflict had once again shifted significantly.At that moment, it was not just the ordinary individuals led by Darren who were weari

    In Darsia, everyone wore a serious expression. Although there had been speculation before that some small countries might be on Amelicon's side, it was still hard to accept when it actually happened.These small countries, when combined, were not significant in terms of power, but dealing with them would be quite draining. In the end, they truly just ended up being used as cannon fodder."Your Majesty, Celestial Sovereign, should we take action?""We'll strike first!"The four ghost kings began speaking quietly. It was very clear what Amelicon was doing—they were gathering people. If they continued to wait, more and more small nations might join the fray.Once these nations combined their forces, they would attack Darsia, not to mention the fact that Amelicon was also looming in the background. So, the best time to act was now."Mr. President, let's open fire!""Blast these barbarians!"The women also spoke up, hoping Kaiser would give the order. It wasn't a rash decision—they

    Amez emphasized the words "no mercy" with great intensity, his tone imbued with an overwhelming presence that sent a shiver down everyone's spine.However, Darsia's people had already made up their minds, and there was no chance a few words from him could cause even the slightest change in that conviction."Foreign barbarians, you're shameless and without honor!""Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!""Who do you think you are to boss us around?""How unbelievably arrogant. If you don't leave now, I'll have to take action!"The four ghost kings each expressed their positions."Darsia, fight to the end without surrender!" declared Kaiser."Fight to the death without surrender!"All of Darsia's warriors spoke in unison, their voices booming like thunder.Upon hearing these voices, Darren displayed a mocking expression. However, the members of the Amelicon military appeared fearful.While Darren could afford to be arrogant, these troops had actually faced of

    At that moment, Darsia was located in the eye of the storm.All the people had gone into hiding, while all members of the military department were ready. Every warrior and cultivator was poised for action, and all the beats were glaring fiercely.Kaiser stood at the front, with Remus' partners behind him, followed by all the people of Darsia. They were all facing east, waiting for Amelicon's forces to arrive.Anove them, Francis, Roman, the four ghost kings, and even Candace had all gathered there, their expressions serious as they solemnly looked toward the east.Everyone remained silent and still, just waiting.After about four hours, on the sea surface directly east of Darsia, waves finally appeared. Soon after, a massive and overwhelming force from Amelicon arrived.In reality, when considering the number of people and equipment, Darsia's Mortal Realm was comparable to Amelicon's. In fact, with Darsia having the home advantage, its equipment was more complete, and its firepow

    Time kept passing by.The four ghost kings were stationed at different corners of Darsia. Meanwhile, Roman continued to recover his energy, and Francis gazed into the distance, still and deep in thought.At the very top, Rafael and Melody were still unconscious in the formations.As for the Mortal Realm, the people were already aware of what was going to happen. Given the significance of the event, it was important to inform them in advance so they could be prepared.Unlike in the past, there was no panic. Instead, everything was very orderly, and there was no need for excessive organization. Everyone knew what they needed to do.This was what Francis referred to as having depth and experience. Darsia had a history spanning millennia and had been through a variety of events.Although none of them were as critical as the potential threat of national destruction they're currently facing, they'd gone through similar situations dozens of times and had learned lessons from history.N

    Both Roman and Francis remained silent, acting as if the other didn't exist.Neither of them knew how much time had passed, but eventually, they both looked at each other simultaneously. Francis' gaze was calm. On the other hand, Roman's gaze initially held a hint of anger but then shifted to a sense of calmness.The reason why the two were looking at each other was straightforward. Roman was still suspicious of Francis, and Francis knew that.After about half an hour, Roman finally couldn't hold back and said, "I want to hear the truth!"Francis retorted, "Is it really necessary?""It's absolutely necessary. The survival of Darsia's three realms is at stake, and I must get to the bottom of this.""All you need to know is that I've returned to defend Darsia against external threats, and I won't be taking any action against you in the short term."Roman chuckled. "Even if you attacked me, what difference does it make? At worst, I face death, but this is an era of great upheaval w

    In the end, this issue was still raised.Kaiser's lips twitched slightly. He had been wondering the same thing but didn't have the chance to ask.Discomfort also appeared on the ghost kings' faces. They had naturally thought about the matter, too, but due to their fear of Francis, they didn't know how to bring it up. Moreover, considering Francis' demeanor, it seemed fine not to ask.But now that Roman had voiced that question, all they could do was wait for Francis' response.Francis asked casually, "Why do YOU think Amez helped me and let me return?"Roman remained unfazed. "I'm not sure. That's why I need you to answer!"Francis looked at him intently and replied, "Alright, I suppose it's not just you who wants to know. The others are probably curious, too."In that case, I'll tell you. The reason I gave Amez is straightforward—I wanted to return for revenge. Amez believed that my revenge against you all would be highly effective, which was why he decided to help me recover."

    Based on the analysis, this was indeed the case. Remus had been gone for so long, and the fact that Tyson, as his mentor, hadn't shown up yet was quite unusual. So, what was he planning?Just as everyone was speculating, Francis suddenly spoke up. "Amez is coming with Amelicon's deities."Everyone suddenly turned to look at him, their eyes widening uncontrollably. Did he just say Amez was about to arrive?Even though they already knew they would be coming, hearing it directly from Francis was still quite shocking.Francis ignored their expressions and continued, "So, no matter what the Monarch's mentor is plotting, it no longer matters. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get through the present situation."Everyone else's expression became serious. Francis' words made sense.Bringing up Tyson was merely a distraction from their argument about the Three Realms' ruler. While it was important to investigate what Tyson was planning, it was less significant comp
