Chapter 12
Author: Oldwell
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 the door opening. Remus had come in. The guard scolded, “I told you to wait outside. Who said you could come in?”

Remus ignored him and stared at Anthony instead. “Don’t want to see me? Asked someone to cripple me, did you?”

Anthony’s expression soured. He looked at Remus’ disposition, thinking, “How dare a brat who was only imprisoned for three years give me that kind of attitude? Many of my subordinates are felons who were imprisoned for more than ten years! How could he be so bold!”

Then, he waved, not asking his guard to attack. Instead, he said, “What is it? Spit it out. I’m busy!”

Remus remained calm. “I’ve asked the question, and I don’t want to repeat it again. Answer me now. I’m in a hurry too.”

“What did you just say?” Anthony instantly became furious. Even the temperature in the suite dropped. He yelled, “You little brat. I looked after you because you were washing the toilet of Temple Lord. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t even have the right to see me! You’re ungrateful for my kindness and even have the balls to push my buttons. Do you take me for a patient man? Hmm?”

A nobody like this was only worthy of being his subordinates’ minion. Who gave him the courage to come to his door?

Suddenly, Remus felt enlightened. In the past, he saw Anthony as an important figure and was inclined to fawn over him, so he obliged. Later, he heard some fake news and decided against it.

He didn’t bother to explain since he was rushing to another city after breaking off the engagement with Jean Lotus tonight. After that, they would have no more contact.

“Your performance yesterday was not bad. I’ll forgive you this time. We’re even.” He turned to leave after saying that.

“Stop right there!” Anthony was outraged. As the Underground King, he had never been treated with such contempt. Moreover, Remus was nothing but a lucky nobody who met the Temple Lord.

He angrily continued, “You bastard, my patience for you is at its limit. I’ll give you one last chance for the sake of the Temple Lord. Kneel, grovel at my feet, and leave my sight forever! Also, if you dare complain to the Temple Lord, I’ll grind your bones and scatter your ashes!”

Anthony would never feel at ease if he did not teach him a lesson.

Remus turned, having still not learned his lesson, and sneered. “What if I refuse to kneel?”

“Refuse to kneel?” Anthony squinted. “Then I’ll kill you!”

Just as he finished speaking, Remus rushed him. Efficiently, Remus kicked him, causing him to slam into the wall three feet away.

Before Anthony could even slide down the wall, Remus had reached out and grabbed his neck singlehandedly, pinning him to the wall.

Remus asked, “Trying to kill me?”

Everything happened so fast that no one could react.

Anthony was in shock. At that moment, he could not even process that he was being choked and that his legs were off the ground. He had never been this nervous as he stared at Remus in horror.

Only the Temple Lord gave off this kind of oppressive energy. No, even the Temple Lord was never this oppressive! Who was this man really?

The guard was also dumbfounded, and his legs went weak. He did not stop Remus and rushed out the door to press a secret button.

“Ring ring ring… “ The moment the button was pressed, all the eight karaoke places, 12 nightclubs, and 14 clubhouses in Neptuna would be alerted. Then, 26 leaders of the sects would immediately bring hundreds of armed subordinates to the Draculus Court.

In the main hall on the first floor, Kylie Cox looked happy as she had just exchanged numbers with Ben Stuart. He even asked her out on another date. If everything went right, it would help boost the Coxs’ business.

“I heard the Stuarts’ Sky Group will be partnering with Miss Lotus’. If he becomes her business partner and I become his friend…” The more Kylie thought about it, the happier she was. She had a feeling that better days were coming.

Suddenly, she heard the alarm and was startled. Only then did she realize she had brought Remus to find the Dragon Head. What was the meaning of this alarm?

Then, she heard brakes screeching outside and looked outside. A row of cars had stopped, and a group of ferocious-looking men rushed upstairs with weapons.

“Did Remus cause this?” Kylie was shocked at the thought of this and left the place. The moment she walked out, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

In just a blink of an eye, the cars stopped at the entrance. Then, all the car doors opened at the same time. Hundreds of armed men rushed into Draculus Court.

But that was not the end. There were still countless cars on the road, with their headlights high, rushing toward this direction.

Kylie immediately ran and hid among the crowd.

“I heard the Dragon Head’s alarm ringing. The last time it rang was ten years ago!”

“Could it be that he’s back?”

Hearing the crowds’ murmured discussion, Kylie nervously asked, “Excuse me, what does it mean if the alarm rings?”

Likely because these people felt that Kylie was good-looking, they told her seriously. “I was part of the sect in the past, so I know some insider intel. When the alarm rings, it means the enemy has entered the Draculus Court karaoke place, and Dragon Head’s life is threatened. When they hear the alarm, all the subordinates of the sects will come to fight. As you saw, at least a few thousand people came! If I’m not mistaken, he has returned!”

His life was being threatened?!

Kylie’s face turned pale after hearing this. Could Remus have threatened the Dragon Head’s life? Was he out of his mind?

The person who was speaking wanted to flash his charisma and seduce Kylie, so he continued, “Ten years ago…”

However, Kylie was not interested in listening. Instead, she was in a panic, thinking if Remus would survive. Then, she thought of looking for Ben.

Inside the suite, Remus had let go of Anthony. Initially, he wanted to kill him, but he thought about what his Master had said. Killing will reduce his virtue and his own luck. Therefore, he decided to let Anthony go.

Remus calmly said, “You can be exempted from death, but you won’t escape punishment!”

After that, he kicked Anthony out of the door as if he was a rubber ball.

Right then, the leaders of the 26 sects rushed to the corridor. They shouted anxiously, “Dragon Head!”

    Although Silas appeared ready to risk everything, his true intentions weren't in his actions but rather in his words.He first mentioned that deities lived on resilience, then clearly stated that surrendering would disturb their Hearts of Alchemy.He even insisted that he would not pressure them and declared he would fight by himself, saying he would battle to the very end and never surrender.With these statements, it was clear that he was implying the deities could not surrender and that they should stand firm and fight back alongside him.His goal was quite simple—if the deities behind him were swayed, he wouldn't have even the slightest chance of survival. However, if they all firmly stood by his side, he might still have a chance to live.As expected, after hearing Silas' words, a deity couldn't hold back their impulse and stepped forward."I will also fight to the very end, as I am this land's deity! How can I ever submit to others?""That's right! They have come to trampl

    Since there was no way to make Silas surrender, Amez was trying to find a way to sway Silas' deities. Once they gave in, Silas would be left in a weak position and wouldn't pose much of a challenge.Amez's words were spoken straightforwardly, but the more direct they were, the more they could pierce into the Dominions' hearts.As expected, the three Dominions still wore anger on their faces, but none of them were saying anything. They appeared to be holding back and keeping their emotions in check, which was a noticeable change from earlier, when they were openly cursing Amez.More importantly, the hundreds of deities behind them were looking at each other, and upon closer observation, Amez could see that some were beginning to waver.After all, the two nations shared the same origins, and their deities had connections with one another. Moreover, Silas just mentioned that Amez once served under him. In other words, it would not be as mentally burdensome if they ended up serving und

    Hearing that, Silas shuddered. He knew about Halvor heading to Darsia and had an inkling of Amez's intentions, but he never imagined that Amez would go to such lengths as to help Francis regain his power.Before this, Darsia almost reached the top spot globally, and correspondingly, Francis would have become the world's number one deity, meaning the most powerful one.Halvor was ranked fourth. Given the current circumstances, if Francis were to go on a rampage and attack Halvor, it could potentially wipe out Halvor. In that case, the deities under Halvor would lose most of their strength, resulting in mutual destruction."You... You are truly despicable!" Silas gritted out."Despicable?" Amez was completely indifferent, remarking calmly, "In the grand scheme of things, when everything is at stake, any means can be understood. Furthermore, doing so is entirely in my self-interest, which is perfectly reasonable. So, how is that despicable?"Silas wanted to speak several times but en

    Hearing Silas' retort, Amez suddenly started laughing. His laughter grew more joyful, but eventually, his smile started fading."We're all smart people here, so why pretend to be confused when the current state of affairs is clear? The world is divided into four forces—besides you and me, there's the weakest, Darsia, and Halvor, who is just a bit stronger than them."As you just mentioned, it's impossible for me to remain whole after killing you. So, I need to calculate how much strength I have left."After doing the math, I can see that with the remaining strength, I can take down either Darsia or Halvor. However, if the two of them join forces, I might be in a bit of trouble."So, I've made them fight among themselves. Once they've exhausted each other, I'll make my move. This way, I'll always remain invincible."Silas, you should have already heard that Halvor has set out for Darsia. Under my command, he intends to destroy Darsia."I'm waiting for them to start fighting and we

    At the edge of Talonia's border, a ripple suddenly appeared, as if Amez's voice had struck an invisible barrier. The ripple continued to spread, eventually parting to reveal a gap, within which a staircase appeared.On the steps above, a voice slowly emerged. It belonged to someone with golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in a pure white robe. His expression was somewhat serene, matching people's ideal image of a deity.However, at this moment, Silas' eyes revealed a glimpse of anger that he was trying to hide.Apart from Amez, the Celestial Triad, the hundreds of deities behind them, and even the military department below, all felt an intangible pressure. This was, after all, their first time seeing Silas. Moreover, up to this point, Talonia had not suffered any harm, unlike Darsia.Silas looked at them, calmly asking, "What brings you here?"Amez straightforwardly said, "I'm here to kill you!"Hearing that, Silas chuckled lightly. "You are just as arrogant as you were back then.

    Gaining knowledge from books was never enough—true understanding always came from personal experience and practice.At this moment, not just Halvor, but even Francis, Grant, and Roman were shocked. They initially thought that after this attack, they would be injured and barely able to fight back, especially considering that they were facing Halvor and his six deputies.Roman's thoughts were quite straightforward. Their previous victory could have been due to the absence of a leading deity on the enemy party. Although the other group was weak, it was mainly because they were not united and their efforts were not coordinated.However, Halvor was here now. Roman never would have thought that they were truly this weak!"How is that possible?""Why is this happening?"Nick and Paul couldn't help but ask, their eyes filled with astonishment.Halvor had been a well-known main deity for thousands of years, and the deputies behind him had also attained divine status. Why were they so muc
