NovelEnglishJustin explained, "Jasper and Winston might have gotten along well initially, but things have changed. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa have broken up, and he's repeatedly hurt her.
"As much as Winston favors Jasper, Ms. Alyssa is his daughter-the apple of his eye. His love for her outweighs anything else. Over time, the distance between Winston and Jasper will only grow, and that will no longer hinder our plans." "That's my dear Jay! Well done!" Zachary's expression shifted instantly. His lips curled into a smug smile. "Jasper is nothing more than the bastard child of Javier's one-night stand. How could someone like him ever deserve Ms. Alyssa? She's of noble status, far beyond his reach. Jay, you're the only one truly worthy of her." Justin's deep, inscrutable eyes revealed no emotion. Through gritted teeth, he replied, "Uncle Zachary, you're overthinking it. My only intention is to strip Jasper of his power and show him what true loss feels like." Zachary's eyes gleamed coldly as he waved dismissively. "I don't care about the petty romance between you young people. What matters is that you dilute Beckett Group's stocks and take control of the corporation. You must avenge my sister-your mother!" A shadow crossed Justin's pale face. "I will. Right now, Crystal Ice is already being distributed across Solana City. The response has been promising. It won't be long before it reaches all of Cyrris." Zachary's impatience flared. "And the clinical trials for the new drugs? Accelerate the process! You know I'm not a patient man. I've poured everything into getting you here, and I won't tolerate failure. Don't disgrace the Dutton family!" "Got it." Justin hesitated for a second, then smiled and asked, "Uncle Zachary, will gaining control of Beckett Group and successfully creating the new drug secure you a place at the Kings' Club's Roundtable Conference?" The Roundtable Conference-an elite gathering of the most powerful members of Kings' Club-symbolized ultimate authority. Zachary's current rank, Ace of Diamonds, fell just short of the top echelon, the Ace of Spades. Gaining control of Beckett Group was his key to rising higher.

A flicker of greed and madness crossed Zachary's face as he laughed. "Of course. The pinnacle of power is just one step away!" "Congratulations in advance, Uncle Zachary." The look in Justin's eyes deepened. He smiled meekly at Zachary for the very first time. In a polite tone, he added, "Uncle Zachary, I have a favor to ask. Would you consider nominatingfor a spot on the Roundtable Conference once I've secured full control of Beckett Group and succeeded in the new drug's clinical trials?" After a brief silence, Zachary's laughter erupted, loud and mocking.
Justin shot him a cold, unblinking gaze as Zachary rocked with his laughter. The longer he watched, the colder Justin's eyes became, like a viper lying in wait for its prey.
"Justin, you haven't otten how you survived this long and where your power and richese from, have you?" Zachary staggered slightly, pressing his hand against his heaving chest, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Justin.
"It was me. I was the one who saved you. I brought you into Kings' Club and introduced you to the people who opened doors for you.
"If not for me, you would have died the syear you went to Mosgravia for treatment. I used my resources to find a world-class doctor to replace yourans.

Zachary made it sound so noble. He did all that so that he could be treated? Justin scoffed silently. He was nothing but Zachary's guinea pig, a test subject for his illegal drugs.
Back then, Zachary had used him to study the effects of banned drugs on live humans. Even now, Justin was haunted by nightmares.
Chapter 2361 1 Medical staff wearing white lab coats, white gloves, and masks would hold him down on the bed forcefully. Then, they injected medications of all colors into him intravenously.
His chest heaved as he fought to suppress the trauma, and his face drained of color.
Chapter 2361 2 After a bout of silence, Justin's eyes narrowed. Though his voice remained friendly, his words were laced with steel. "Uncle Zachary, you're right. But let's not et how much I've done for you.
"Your freedom, your ability to move without fear of justice—all of it stems from my meticulous planning. Without me, you wouldn't have escaped-" Before Justin could finish his sentence, Zachary slammed his hand on the table, rising with a roar. "You little bastard! Are you threatening me?" Justin smiled and replied, "Oh, I wouldn't dare. I was just stating the facts." Chapter 2361 3
