Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club.
"My attacker was…"
Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card.
"It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me.
"He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina.
"I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country.
"My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."
Remy lowered his gaze, his eyes dim. "He's wary of you because he's afraid you'll supersede him."
Justin clicked his tongue. "Supersede him? Zachary is nothing but a stepping stone for me—my ticket to Kings' Club and greater power overseas. Once I complete the new drug research, I'll replace him as one of their VIPs."
Justin's eyes gleamed with ambition. The future of a ruler stretched before him.
Remy's temples throbbed at the mention of the new drug, and one name came to mind—Amber.
That poor woman was locked away in an abandoned hospital, subjected to torturous experiments for the sake of that very drug.
He furrowed his brow but kept his tone cold. "What's your next move?"
"I need to secure Project A5. That's my key to becoming Kings' Club's honored guest—"
An incoming call interrupted him. In the darkness, Justin's gaze fell on his phone. His expression hardened as he answered.
"Hello, Mr. Gentry."
Rafe coughed. "Mr. Beckett…"

Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
