Remus followed Linnea to a door at the side of the square.
Once they entered through it, a whole hidden realm was revealed within.
Featuring artificial mountains and running water, buildings amid blossoming flower clusters, and willow trees swaying in the breeze, it has everything one could imagine. Yet, its state of extreme disrepair was evident, worn out by the passage of time and neglect.
There were at least 100 mansions here, with only a single one bathed in light, while the others remained shrouded in absolute darkness.
“That mansion with the light used to be Mr. Cosby’s, but now it’s yours,” Linnea spoke up.
Remus observed it was a mansion positioned squarely across from the main entrance. Though the light within was dim, it casted a glow that enlivened the courtyard, infusing it with a sense of liveliness.
He nodded and replied, “Alright, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I’m merely carrying out my duties. Even though I don’t particularly like you, this world often shows leniency toward the strong.”
Remus chuckled softly. Despite favonovel.com straightforwardness, favonovel.com words held considerable logic.
Without further words, favonovel.com walked forward and entered the mansion.
The moment Remus walked in, favonovel.com saw a young man holding a sword, standing amidst the courtyard’s overgrown grass, and facing away from him.
“Shawn? What are you doing here?” Linnea recognized the person and exclaimed in surprise.
Shawn Cunningham, the young man who intercepted Ana this morning, Philbert’s grandson.
Shawn remained facing away, his demeanor aloof. “Linnea, this doesn’t concern you. You may leave now. Tonight, I’ll challenge him! Remus Cosby, will you dare face me in a duel? The defeated shall leave Ana forever!”
Remus frowned at his words. His body hadn’t healed entirely, and favonovel.com was, at most, at the Martial Imperial Realm. His divine energy had only regained a bit, lingering around the mid-level of the Training Stage.
Before favonovel.com could answer, Linnea cut in directly, “What’s this nonsense? You’re not Mr. Cosby‘s match. He’s at the Martial Imperial level, dealing with you would be as effortless as a walk in the park. You better leave quickly and avoid embarrassing yourself here!'”
Even though Shawn came from the Cunningham family, a figure of considerable standing, his perpetual efforts to please Ana and frequent reliance on Linnea for help meant that favonovel.com didn’t speak to favonovel.com with an ounce of respect.
Shawn’s body visibly trembled, yet favonovel.com didn’t turn around, feeling embarrassed.
“Don’t joke around. Even though favonovel.com defeated Otis, Otis is nothing compared to me. How could favonovel.com be at the Martial Imperial level? Moreover, even if favonovel.com were Martial Imperial, favonovel.com was heavily injured fighting Otis. How could favonovel.com be my match?”
Linnea sighed helplessly. “Who’s joking with you? His injuries weren’t from fighting Otis at all. It was during an ambush by the Rose family at sea. Bason Duncan led the attack personally, accompanied by 12 Martial Imperials, causing his severe injuries!”
Upon hearing this, Shawn’s body trembled uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re still joking with me. If I’m not mistaken, they must have sent a Martial Imperial to deal with him, and Remus won in a one-on-one fight, allowing favonovel.com to return!”
Linnea exclaimed in despair, “You’ve guessed wrong. All 12 of the Martial Imperials intervened, and Mr. Cosby defeated 11 of them!”
Shawn exhaled abruptly, almost choking, discreetly putting down the long sword in his hand. He asked in astonishment, “What about Bason Duncan? Did favonovel.com just stand by and watch without intervening?”
Linnea said bluntly, “Bason was also slain by him, that’s why I told you to not embarrass yourself!”
After hearing these words, Shawn abruptly turned around, his face displaying an indescribable expression of astonishment, almost as if he’d been frozen in place.
Remus finally said, “Should we start?”
Shawn’s face turned pale again, his body trembling uncontrollably. He couldn’t understand why someone so powerful had never come to his attention before.
