Chapter 14
Author: Oldwell
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 at a disadvantage.”

After a pause, Skylar continued, “Right. What’s the deal with Remus Cosby?”

When he came back, Ben said Bald Richard would get the job done.

Hearing that, Ben excitedly said, “I was about to tell you. Bald Richard has him trapped at Draculus Court. He won’t live for long.”

Ben was happy just thinking about hooking up with Jean, maintaining his relationship with Miranda, and even comforting Kylie. These three ladies were incredibly gorgeous.

“Let’s go!”

Skylar nodded and walked out the door.

As they sat in the car and drove out of the villa, a Rolls-Royce came in their direction.

Looking at the license plate, Skylar said, “Is that Anthony’s car? Drive to the side, quick! Make way for him!”

The driver quickly drove to the side, and the Rolls-Royce drove past them.

“Huh?” Ben was startled and shuddered.

“What’s the matter?” Skylar noticed his weird reaction.

Ben shook his head with a wry smile. “I saw the person in the backseat. He looked like Remus Cosby. I thought it was him. But it couldn't be. He has to be dead by now.”

After hearing that, Skylar couldn't care less since it was truly impossible. But then, Ben’s phone rang. It was Kylie calling. He quickly changed his tone. “Ms. Cox, I’m sorry…”

“Thank you!” Kylie had spoken before Ben had a chance to finish. She was excited because she had called Remus after the crowd dispersed and the commotion was over. It turned out that he was fine.

With Remus’ safety, Kylie owed her thanks to Ben. She thought that this matter had once again proved how powerful the Stuarts were.

Kylie continued, “Mr. Stuart, we just met today, but you were still willing to help me. You’re a kind man. Remus wouldn’t have a chance at even leaving Draculus Court if it weren't for you. When are you free? I want to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude and discuss business.”

Upon hearing that, Ben was stupefied, thinking, “Remus Cosby isn’t dead? So I wasn’t mistaken? Impossible!”

Remus returned to the Imperial Villa. He didn’t want to come back, but he promised to accompany Jean to the banquet.

When he opened the door and entered, he was stunned in place. In the living room, Jean was changing. She was only wearing a tight skirt, and it was short. Her legs were exposed, and the upper half of her body was bare…

Jean was also surprised to see him. However, she reacted quickly and covered herself. She laughed, “Remus, you’ve come back at the right time. Come and help me pick out an outfit. Which do you think fits me better?”

She picked up a few tight clothes and tried them on in front of the mirror.

It was Remus' first time seeing such a scene, and he could feel a hot current in his nose. He quickly pinched his nose and turned around.

Jean laughed. “Oh? Are you embarrassed? It’s not like you haven’t seen it before. Come on, help me out. It’s too difficult to choose.”

Remus cursed in his heart. “That Working Emperor Adam Jones had been hiding a beauty at home when he went to prison, but he still complained!”

Remus replied, “Don’t joke with me. You’re my…sister-in-law!”

At the Underhill Prison, he was the youngest. He had to address her like that to draw a clear line between them.

Jean paused and joked, “Don’t you want some pizza rolls?”

Feeling like he might lose control of himself, Remus ran out of the mansion.

“Hahaha…” Jean was amused by his actions.

Five minutes later, Jean was dressed and walked out of the Imperial Villa. She looked angry. “How are your driving skills? Can you drive me there? If you do well, I’ll cook for you again.”

Remus snatched the car keys and started the car. “Where to?”

“Neptuna Hotel for Jean Lotus’ meet-up!”

What a coincidence… Neptuna Hotel?

That was the biggest hotel in Neptuna. The most important events would be held there, including Jean’s meet-up.

Right then, there was an abundance of luxury cars parked downstairs while guests swarmed upstairs. Those invited did not only consist of wealthy families in Neptuna, but also big shots from other cities.

Remus parked the car in the parking lot and went up with Jean. The whole way, Jean observed Remus. She was happy when she saw his calm demeanor and thought, “As expected from a guy who could borrow the mansion from Adam Jones. He isn’t nervous at such a big event.”

Then, she took Remus' arm and asked, “Remus, there are many rich and important big shots here. Aren’t you nervous? How come I’m more nervous than you?”

Still, Remus remained calm and did not push her away. After all, he was her partner for tonight’s banquet. He comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry. No one will dare mess with you if I’m here!”

This was Jean’s meet-up. He was here today to cancel their marriage agreement so, before that went down, he was still her fiance.

Jean blinked and turned into an admirer. “Remus, you’re so manly. Hearing what you said makes me want to just depend on you for the rest of my life.”

Remus was speechless at that.

“Remus Cosby!” Suddenly, someone shouted in the banquet hall.

A person walked over aggressively. It was none other than Mr. Lawson, who worked with Kylie. Most of the guests looked over at the sudden commotion.

Mr. Lawson irritably shouted, “Liar! Felon! How dare you come here and make trouble? I thought you were a big shot. It turns out you’re just a stupid thief who got out of prison!”

Moments ago, Mr. Lawson raised a toast to Elias and talked to him about Remus. He did not expect Elias to immediately turn cold and say, “Don’t speak of that scoundrel.” He then hinted to Mr. Lawson that Remus just came out of prison. So, when Mr. Lawson thought of what happened that day, he was enraged.

“Remus, it seems you’ve made an enemy,” Jean said softly.

Hearing that, Remus frowned. He looked at Mr. Lawson as he was walking over and unhappily said, “Speak softer. You’re too loud.”

“Humph!” Mr. Lawson snorted. “Why should I speak softer to a useless scum like you? I want everyone here to hear me! Everybody, this man is a charlatan! He cheated a contract worth tens of millions from me! If my guess is right, he’s here tonight so he can continue to cheat others!”

Immediately, everyone was attracted by the sound and looked over in astonishment.

“A charlatan? How did he get in?”

“Look at the way he’s dressed. I bet he’s at the bottom of society.”

“A swindler caught at the scene. How interesting.”

Remus frowned deeper and said, “Mr. Lawson, you need proof before you speak. How have I deceived you?”

Mr. Lawson was stunned. Indeed he did not have proof because he voluntarily gave Kylie that contract. Another idea came to mind. “Getting proof is simple. With your background, you wouldn’t even be able to get in here. Show me your invitation. Hand it over!”

He looked past Jean as he thought liars were skilled at deceiving beautiful women. Moreover, it would be easier to carry out his job with a pretty lady as an attractive distraction.

“I don’t have it,” Remus said calmly. “However, I’m not here for the meet-up. I’m here for Jean Lotus!”

    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

    As Halvor's voice rang out, the entire space became tense. The rest of the deities behind him exchanged glances.At this point, they had no idea what to do. Fighting Darsia might lead to death, but running away could also result in being killed by Amelicon. What should they do?"Attack!" Halvor let out a fierce roar at that moment. With that, his energy surged out, enveloping the surrounding space.With his lead, the final straw finally fell. Since not fighting meant certain death, while pushing forward might mean survival, the energy of the six deputies suddenly burst out, followed by hundreds more.Their combined energy this time far surpassed that of the other six deputies. That was because of the presence of Halvor, who served as their spiritual symbol.Seeing this, the expressions of Francis, Roman, and the ghost kings grew serious as they realized that the moment of the final battle had finally arrived. Their energy began to surge out with no intent to conceal it.Candace,
