Chapter 15
Author: Oldwell
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 him!"

Skylar had inquired about the relationship between Remus and the Dragon Head. He found that they indeed knew each other. But it was Remus who had shamelessly troubled the Dragon Head, causing the Dragon Head to be unhappy. Skylar felt at ease knowing that they weren't friends.

Then, Skylar smiled and looked at Ben. He thought, "My son has a good chance!"

At the entrance…

"Hahaha! You fool! You really do amuse me. How dare you talk about Ms. Lotus?" Mr. Lawson laughed.

Then, he teased, "Do you know that Ms. Lotus is the daughter of Centurio? She's a noble lady. You really should take a look in the mirror and see for yourself what a loser you are. Take a good look and see if you're worthy enough to even know Ms. Lotus!"

Another burst of laughter sounded in the hall.

Jean was puzzled that Remus was here for her. However, she quickly understood that maybe the Working Emperor Adam Jones ordered him to look after her. After all, it was not easy to find a job after coming out of prison.

Remus coldly said, "You can ask Ms. Lotus to verify it. Also, if you like laughing so much, I can help you keep your mouth open for the rest of your life!"

Looking at Remus' gaze, Mr. Lawson felt as if the Devil was staring at him. It felt sinister, making him scared to speak.

"Nonsense!" Suddenly someone shouted. It was Ben. Although he did not understand why Remus was still alive, his father had tasked him to hook up with Ms. Lotus. Now was his chance to show himself!

He sneered, "Hey, Cosby! You were babbling nonsense yesterday at Mr. Bowen's house and said you have a marriage agreement with Miranda. Now, you're here making a fool of yourself. When will you learn?"

Before Remus could speak, a discussion blew up in the hall.

"What? He has a marriage agreement with Miranda?"

"How could Miranda be interested in him?"

"It must be fake. Mr. Bowen, is this fake?"

Everyone looked over at Elias.

Elias was furious and quickly explained, "It's fake. Of course it's fake. That kid pretended to be an expert yesterday to seduce my daughter. He even said my father had agreed to this marriage and took out a marriage contract. I knew it was fake at a glance, so I chased him away!"

How could he possibly admit it on such an occasion?

Brianne was scared that no one would believe her and anxiously added, "Even Mr. Lawson said he's a charlatan. He also came from prison. It's normal for a guy like this to deceive for marriage! Fortunately, Miranda didn't die in his hands yesterday. We let the matter pass, but he still appeared before us. Disgusting. Security, where is security? Get him out of here!"

Remus only sneered as he watched everything happen. What an ungrateful family.

"No need for that. Just leave him to me!" Ben smiled. He deliberately mentioned the marriage contract so Elias would deny it in front of everyone, making Remus lose all dignity. Plus, he had to show off his ability to Ms. Lotus. Otherwise, it would be all too easy for Remus.

Then, Ben arrogantly said, "Cosby, now that everyone knows you're a liar, you can't deceive anyone here. I know people like you well. You won’t give up easily if you haven’t achieved your goals. It's disgusting. So, what do you want in order to leave Ms. Lotus alone?! I will satisfy you on behalf of Ms. Lotus!"

The crowd glanced at each other as they knew Ben was deliberately pushing himself into the limelight to get Ms. Lotus' attention. However, they secretly praised him for being smart!

Skylar nodded with satisfaction. The future of the Stuarts was bright.

Finally, Jean couldn't stand it and said, "You're worthy of representing Ms. Lotus?"

Ben followed the voice and looked closely at Jean. Instantly, he was amazed by her beauty. How on earth could Remus have such beauties around him all the time? Anyways, he wanted to sleep with her too!

Thinking of that, Ben arrogantly replied, "Of course. As the heir to the Sky Group, I am Ms. Lotus' invited guest. If I'm not worthy, is such a cheap person like you worthy?"

Ben believed that no one around Remus should be respected. The reason he mentioned his identity was to attract attention. That was how Kylie fell into his trap.

All the people at the banquet were having fun witnessing the drama. Without knowing Jean's identity, they felt that she was unworthy of representing Ms. Lotus, but might be a good match for the son of Centurio.

Jean's expression was sour, and she did not speak.

"Apologize to her!" Remus suddenly shouted. Other than being here to cancel the marriage, his purpose today was to protect Jean, just like he promised before entering the hall.

Ben's gaze returned to Remus as he laughed. "What did you say? Why should I apologize to her? Is she worthy of it? Are you? Huh?"

But Remus had rushed forward and grabbed his neck before he could finish. Then, he indifferently said, "Kneel, grovel, and apologize!"

Ben was instantly suffocated and horrified. He never imagined that Remus would strike him during such an occasion. At that moment, he felt like he might die. However, if he really gave in, all his effort would be in vain.

Those in the hall were also shocked. No one expected Remus to pick a fight.

"Let go of my son! Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Skylar was the first to react.

"Release Ben. If you hurt him, I'll make sure you leave here on your back!" Elias also spoke.

This was Ms. Lotus's banquet, so order had to be in place.

Remus seemed to have not heard them and tightened his grip, causing Ben’s eyes to roll back.

"Stop it!" Miranda, who had been silent, took a step forward. She frowned. "Remus Cosby! Do you know what occasion this is? All the big shots in Neptuna are here. How can you be so bold? Quick! Let go! If you dare hurt Ben, not only will you be against all of Neptuna, but also Ms. Lotus! Are you seeking death?!"

Remus sneered. "If he doesn't apologize, not only will I form grudges with all of Neptuna and Ms. Lotus, I will become an enemy of the whole world!"

That was who Remus was. He didn't mind being wronged. When it came to the people around, no one could inflict even the slightest grievance!

Again, the crowd was shocked!

Was he a madman? He had to be. With such a wild personality, no wonder he was behind bars!

Jean inexplicably felt touched by Remus' words. She bit her lips and looked at Remus, thinking, "He actually said that for me?"

"Ahhh…" Brianne screamed in anger. "You scoundrel! How dare you scold my daughter for this wretched girl?"

"Can he not?" Jean looked at her.

"Be quiet!" Brianne was outraged. "Who are you? How dare you think you speak to me!"

Remus calmly said, "Tell her. Tonight, you will be qualified to talk to whoever you want!"

Then, Jean faced everyone and slowly said, "My name is Jean Lotus!"

    “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

    Max was instantly even more furious. The others in the room flew into a rage. Remus angered Max to the point that he vomited blood. Why should Max thank him? How could someone be so shameless and even say the commander was an idiot?Jean panicked and could no longer hold Max back. "Remus Cosby! Stop talking and run while you can!"However, Remus did not run, and instead said, "Your stomach is damaged, so when you're angry, you'll feel a tightness in your chest. You will also experience dizziness and vomit blood. Moreover, your intestines are also damaged, so you have digestion problems. Because you smoke, there's some problem with your lungs. Also, your heart—sometimes it beats too fast and occasionally stops. Is everything I said right?"Suddenly, Max stopped struggling and was astonished. Due to his status, not many people knew about his health conditions. How did Remus know all of that so well?Remus glanced at Dent and calmly said, "Since you're such a talented doctor and you'v

    Jean laughed and sat up from the sofa. She looked serious and asked, “What’s happening? I think my illness is cured. I’m going to take a bath. Why don’t we…take it together? We can get clean while you treat my illness.”Remus could feel the blood in his body boiling, and something in him was about to lose control. Before he could answer, Jean stood up. “Your silence means rejection. I’m so sad. Fine, I’ll get clean myself then. Hey, you’re not allowed to peek, okay?”Then, she quickly went upstairs in her evening gown.Remus was left speechless. Only when she was gone did he remember about cancelling the marriage! At the same time, the news of Remus becoming Jean’s chosen business partner was spread across Neptuna. Everyone got the news and inquired about who Remus was.Ultimately, they all discovered that he had just finished his prison sentence! This discovery, however, disappointed everyone, and many secretly scolded Jean for being ignorant!Unfortunately, no one could chan

    Amez's voice reverberated throughout the sky.The Triad still wanted to say something, because Amez's decision was quite unwise and needed to be addressed. However, unexpectedly, Amez had already spoken up, so they had no choice but to hold back their words and wait to see how the situation would unfold.Yet, nothing happened even after the echoes of Amez's words died.Without saying anything else, Amez raised his hand and released his energy. This energy, sharp like a blade, sliced through the air, extending thousands of feet. Eventually, it struck something with a sound like a crack.A door had appeared at the other end of the energy. It looked ancient and dignified, covered with dense inscriptions, but now it had been forcibly split open by the energy.The corners of the Triad's mouths twitched. Amez's action was too rude. What if Halvor snapped later? If a fight really broke out, it would be best to let Amez deal with it on his own. It wouldn't make sense to go all out here on

    Amez was very pleased by their reactions. Indeed, if things weren't made clear, they might think he had no reason to do what he had done. But now that everything was out in the open, what else could they say? They should be singing Amez's praises.However, he didn't give them the chance to do so. He merely turned around and continued forward.The Celestial Triad was still stunned. It wasn't until Amez had walked away that they snapped out of it. They exchanged glances and could easily see their mutual approval of Amez in each other's eyes.Yet, the emotions beyond that were exactly the opposite of what Amez thought.After all, so what if Halvor and Silas joined forces? With Amelicon's current strength, they didn't need to fear them teaming up and could easily eliminate them.The Triad thought Amez was hesitant and worried too much. Worse, what other plans did Amez have? The others hadn't forgotten that he was the one who helped Franic regain his energy.But this wasn't the right

    The truth was, everything was just as Roman said. Amez, along with Amelicon's deities and the military department, did not return directly to Amelicon after leaving. Instead, they traveled westward along Darsia's border."Mr. Murray, where are we going?""We've been walking for quite a while!""Could you please tell me the purpose of this journey, Mr. Murray?"The Celestial Triad spoke up one after another.Amez didn't respond and appeared calm, but in reality, he was under a lot of pressure. This was because the situation with Darsia was both expected and unexpected.Based on his expectations—or rather, according to the expectations of everyone at Amelicon, if they had the capability, they would seek revenge immediately. As for things like the country, they wouldn't concern them.But unexpectedly, Francis still chose to protect Darsia, which was quite difficult to understand.Putting that aside, the fact that the whole of Darsia showed not the slightest desire to survive, with

    "There are three reasons," Francis shifted his gaze away and replied. "First, those deities have traveled a great distance to reach Darsia and have spoken disrespectfully to us. If we allowed them to stay or leave without consequence, how would Darsia maintain its dignity?"Second, their continued existence poses a threat to Amez because it might force Halvor and Silas to join forces. That's why, when we attacked, Amez didn't intervene for his own interest."Third, although they appeared to be strong, they were actually fragmented and disorganized, making it easy to defeat them. This also indirectly demonstrated Darsia's strength."Even after explaining everything, Roman still felt a bit dissatisfied because he was interrupted by Kaiser, and he didn't have the chance to snap back at Francis. It left him feeling frustrated, but since they had moved on to the next topic, bringing it up again would make him seem petty.On the other hand, the four ghost kings nodded slightly after list

    "Darsia's deep-rooted strength overcame his will, forcing him to change his mind!"Francis finally mentioned the crucial point. Yet, the others still couldn't understand.At this point, Francis didn't mind providing a bit more explanation. "You could think of it this way—Amez was here to attack Darsia."However, he doesn't want to pay too high a price to gain control of Darsia. If he loses too much in doing so, even if he manages to take over Darsia, he won't have the strength to maintain control over it."Everyone nodded. This point was quite clear.Halvor and Silas did not show up, which clearly indicated their strategy—reaping the benefits after the war. In other words, they also had an eye on Darsia's vast lands.If Amez invested too much effort in Darsia, they wouldn't have a guaranteed win against either of these parties. Therefore, taking direct action against Darsia would be playing right into Silas' and Halvor's hands."But he's already called in so many expendable troo

    "Huh?""Have they left?""Have they launched the attack?"Remus' partners were utterly bewildered, feeling as if they were dreaming, because everything happening seemed too unreal. They couldn't quite grasp why things were unfolding in this way, as it didn't fit into their logical understanding.Kaiser was also dumbfounded, but it wasn't the time to dwell on these questions. He ordered, "Starting immediately, launch an all-out attack on the nations of the deities who had come here, no exceptions!"With that, the war had officially begun.Millions of artillery shells were fired from Darsia, striking various locations around the world.From an aerial perspective, it appeared as though countless meteors were streaking across the sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle. However, for these small countries, it would be a devastating blow, leaving them with no room to fight back.The same applies to what was happening in the sky above Darsia.In terms of strength and status, the deiti

    An unprecedented war was about to take place, involving not just humans, but deities as well. The consequences were unimaginable for everyone.However, time ticked by slowly, second by second. Yet, Amez never gave the order, as if time had frozen and he had forgotten what he needed to do.A full minute had passed, and all the deities' passion had started to wane. They had no choice but to look up at Amez, wondering what was going on with him.The same applied to Darsia. Roman, the four ghost kings, Candace, Kaiser, and Remus' partners were very surprised. They were prepared for a life-and-death battle, but why wasn't the enemy making a move?At that moment, Francis suddenly spoke. "You lost!"His voice was unusually jarring, like a sharp blade slicing through the surrounding air.Everyone turned to look at him, with a bewildered expression in their eyes. What was he talking about?Suddenly, Amez started laughing loudly. This left everyone even more puzzled—why would someone laug

  • Chapter 3011

    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
