Remus subconsciously looked over.Remus subconsciously looked over. He noticed a mark on his wrist, a snowflake pattern left by Wilda. He had ignored it before the battle but now recognized its significance.Gabriela sniffed again, and her body suddenly tensed. She asked, "This scent, it's distinctly feminine. Did a woman leave this?" She questioned.She stood abruptly, pushing Remus away in anger. "Remus, you swore you weren't seeking out women. And now you have a woman's tattoo?"Remus was totally unprepared. He was pushed off the bed by her and hastily said, "Gabriela, let me explain, this is...""Shut up!""Shut up!" Gabriela leaped from the bed, her anger palpable. "The evidence is right before us! Do you dare to argue? You scumbag! I finally understand what it means to rather believe in ghosts than trust a man's broken mouth!"After saying that, she quickly walked out.Feeling extremely wronged, Remus was just one step away from success. He never expected there would be a
"If you don't come back, don't bother returning!" the four women shouted in frustration. They watched Remus's figure disappear into the distance, powerless to stop him."When he comes back, I'll personally castrate him!" Jean clenched her fists. He had been out for just a few days and already got a tattoo for another woman, though he hadn't done the same for her."This scumbag... Argh..." Kylie was also angry.Miranda's face was stone cold. "I'm returning to work," she declared, tempted to track down the other woman."Weren't you all expecting something like this?" a voice suddenly interrupted.Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.Swish!They turned to see Selina standing behind them.Selina continued calmly, "I want to say that very clever women aren't always happy. Since you were mentally prepared for what he did, why did you have to say it out loud?"Gabriela responded with frustration, "If he can do it, why can't we speak about it?""There's no need to. Getting angr
Remus was struck by the scene before him. He was unable to believe it.Earlier today, Goetz had appeared healthy in the crowd. He wondered how things had changed so drastically in just a few hours."Re… Remus?"Senior Baker also had tears streaming down his face. As he wiped his eyes with his hand, he caught sight of Remus and was equally startled.The crowd turned pale with fear when Senior Baker spoke Remus's name and saw him standing there. They stopped crying.Gemma turned her head. Seeing Remus, she clenched her fists and bit her lip until it bled as her gaze turned intense.Remus ignored her and walked slowly towards Goetz's bed."Remus!"Senior Baker stepped forward two paces, struggling to say, "Goetz has passed. Please, for my sake, let go of any grudges with the Malin family."As he spoke, the room's atmosphere turned eerily tense.Remus seemed distracted.Remus listened absently. He wasn't sure what Senior Baker meant."No need to consider!" Gemma finally spoke w
Remus spoke slowly, "Everyone, please leave the room."Senior Baker considered for a moment, then gestured for the Malin family to exit. He followed them, confident in Remus's respect for the deceased.Everyone left.Only two people remained in the room.Remus spoke slowly, "It was you who wanted to help me at Black Lake. It was you who came to rescue me when the Cosby family deputy head went to capture me at the Gracefield family. When I went to the Lotus family to pick up Jean, you were there to support me. I... I've never blamed you for anything!""How could I let you be upset because of me?""How could I let you be troubled on my account?"He finished speaking, bit his finger to draw blood, and dripped it onto Goetz's forehead. Then he sat by the bed and closed his eyes.Soon, When he reopened his eyes, he found himself in the underworld. It was a place unchanged for millennia, surrounded by darkness, chilling winds, and long lines of souls.The underworld had been like th
Soon, people started arriving at the Malin family home. None were prominent figures in Darsia or had made significant contributions."Senior Baker, what's going on?""Why did you call us here so urgently? What's the matter?""Why come to the Malin family instead of going to the Baker family?"People asked one after another.The Malin family had not informed these guests of the recent changes. The guests were surprised to be summoned here instead of the Baker family residence.Seeing these people, Senior Baker said solemnly, "Goetz... has passed away!"Everyone trembled at the news. They all referred to Goetz with respect due to his seniority."How... Did he pass away so suddenly?""Goetz founded the Dragon Team. For Darsia's sake, we will establish a mourning committee and ensure his departure is honored," they declared one by one. "We will definitely ensure that Goetz's departure is grand!"After expressing their commitment, they turned to the Malin family members to discuss
The Malin family members remained silent. Their eyes were filled with hope.Senior Baker nodded and addressed Marten, "The current issue is not about how to handle Goetz's affairs but about Remus arriving and currently in the room."Marten trembled visibly at this news. His face flushed, then paled. He had thought Miranda hadn't returned to the Dragon Group. He assumed Remus would be with her at the Cosby family, enjoying their time together. He hadn't expected Remus to arrive so soon.Senior Baker continued without giving him much time to think, "Leader Long, you are a rising star and the inheritor of Goetz's legacy. You must protect the Malin family!"Everyone looked at Marten simultaneously.Feeling the weight of their gazes, Marten sighed. "I can try to protect them. But consider this. If Remus insists on taking action, my status and abilities might not be enough to stop him."Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.As the leader of the Darsia Dragon Group, the helm o
The crowd was shocked. The entire scene fell silent. What they had initially thought was merely an investigation to clear Remus of any wrongdoing revealed a startling truth! Remus was truly a formidable figure.At that moment, the door directly in front suddenly swung open, and the unexpected sound made everyone shiver. They turned to see a person stepping out from inside, and upon seeing the face clearly, their expressions turned to horror."Go... Goetz?"Lincoln was the first to react. He widened his eyes in disbelief."Goetz, are... Are you a ghost?"Senior Baker followed up immediately.Meanwhile, Marten secretly released his energy, preparing for battle. He had clearly left, so how could he be back again?"Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!""Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!" Goetz responded with a smile. "Mr. McCoy, Marten, and everyone, you're all here? Thank you!"Before anyone could respond, Remus's figure also appeared at the door.Seeing him, everyone instinc
"Gemma is Gemma. I won't show mercy if that woman dares to provoke me again. It's perfect; I'll use her life to compensate for Goetz's loss."Remus lowered his head and smiled. "You're the one who understands me the best; you're smarter than anyone else.""Chirp!"Upon hearing the praise, Ruby's head visibly lifted higher, and its wings flapped more vigorously. It was proud.Remus chuckled at its reaction. He had just casually spoken, yet it was responding so intensely.He said, "Your feathers are even brighter than before. It's gorgeous!"Ruby shook its body at the compliment, and its long tail feathers almost spread apart.Remus expressed surprise, "Oh, you're already in the late Nascent Soul Stage? Your cultivation has progressed so quickly!"Ruby immediately increased its speed, seemingly showcasing its strength at the late Nascent Soul Stage.Remus remarked, "Your flight is so stable, elegant, truly worthy of you!"Ruby responded loudly as if to say, "You flatter me."I
