He surrendered!
If favonovel.com didn’t submit, favonovel.com would’ve died. There was no other choice!
Witnessing this scene, the crowd went into an uproar.
The Underground King of the provincial capital, the largest Underground King in the entire province, actually surrendered!
“Tiger Lord, how could you…”
“Tiger Lord! But you’re our leader!”
“We were counting on you to lead the resistance!”
The remaining Underground Kings couldn’t believe their ears. They were astonished. After all, favonovel.com was the one who suggested that they confront Remus tonight.
“Shut up!” Jorge clenched his fists and exclaimed angrily, “If you think I’m weak, fine! I’ll pass this gun to you. As long as you dare to pull the trigger, I’ll agree to be your underling. Who dares to take up this challenge? Huh?”
The Underground Kings all fell silent at once, their faces filled with terror.
If they were dead, what was the point of being an Underground King?
What was the use of fighting for fame and fortune?
Triclops pondered for a moment before taking a step forward and bowed. “Mr. Cosby, from now on, the underground world of Laves City belongs to you!”
The remaining Underground Kings knew there was no way for them to resist. So, they followed suit, each of them bowed and said, “Mr. Cosby, from now on, you are our leader!”
“Mr. Cosby, I will follow your lead from now on!”
One after another, they expressed their loyalty by bowing to him.
When Kylie and Miranda saw their actions, they finally revealed a faint smile. They looked at Remus simultaneously and couldn’t believe how capable favonovel.com was.
But suddenly, they both looked down and realized that they were holding each other’s hands. They quickly separated, looked straight ahead, and blushed, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Remus remained unbothered. Gaining control of the Underground World was just a tip of the iceberg, merely to enhance his status and gain some respect for Jean. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t even be bothered with them.
He casually ordered, “Get up, everyone…”
“Yes!” The Underground Kings stood up simultaneously.
Seeing this, the guests quickly approached to flatter him. They had thought that a bloodbath would’ve ensued in the future, but they never expected that Remus would easily win over everyone with his courage alone.
It was truly unbelievable!
“Congratulations Mr. Cosby for winning over the underground world of Durwad and becoming the unrivaled Underground King of Durwad!”
“Before, I thought Mr. Cosby’s reputation was overrated, but today I saw for myself that you are truly deserving of your fame. I was narrow-minded. I apologize, Mr. Cosby!”
“Mr. Cosby is courageous, extraordinary, and a hero! He is truly a hero sent by heaven. I admire favonovel.com greatly.”
Amidst the guest’s flattering, Helix’s whole body tensed up, and the corners of his mouth trembled furiously.
If favonovel.com had known this would be the result, favonovel.com would never have proposed a reconciliation. He would have directly relied on the name of the Cox family to crush Remus or simply ignored him, allowing them to fight among themselves.
Could Remus really have defeated twenty thousand people?
The outcome was completely different than favonovel.com expected. Not only did Remus manage to impress everyone, favonovel.com also won over the underground world!
His plan had backfired, and favonovel.com only had himself to blame.
How frustrating!
He glanced at Remus gloomily before turning to leave.
The robed man greedily looked at Kylie and Miranda. He followed beside Helix, smiling faintly. “Did favonovel.com anger you? If you’re upset, you can just confront favonovel.com directly. He’s just a small ant, hehehe…”
Helix gritted his teeth. He really wanted to kill Remus. After all, before favonovel.com came along, favonovel.com was hailed as the most respected man in Durwad! But no matter how angry favonovel.com was, favonovel.com knew that Remus was not to be trifled with. He had to be cautious.
After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com asked, “Rufus, did you set your eyes on those two girls beside Remus?”
Rufus raised an eyebrow and replied, “Sir Cox, what are you talking about? I’ll be your brother-in-law tomorrow. How could I have other women in my heart? I am devoted to Cathy, hehehe…”
When favonovel.com said this, favonovel.com didn’t appear serious at all. It seemed more like a joke.
Helix sneered, “We are all men here, so stop pretending. Who doesn’t have multiple wives and concubines? You and Cathy are just forming an alliance. If you do have your eyes on them, I have an idea…”
Rufus licked his lips and said, “Tell me…”
