"I guess you're finally coming back to take your inheritance. When you exhaust your number of favors."
"Dad, I'm not coming to inherit anything. I just need you to do this one last favor for me." Justin said, chafing his hand on a chimney. While the contorted siren of a cop car blared faintly into his ears.
"You asked me for a favor some days ago. I wonder what you're up to this time."
"It's the second favor I'm asking of you. Are you going to grant it or not?"
"Let's hear it."
"I need some money. Something close to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
A soft chuckle echoed from the other end.
"I knew you weren't going to grant my request." Justin whimpered, rolling his eyes in disappointment.
"I thought you were going to ask for an island or even a penthouse." His father said. "I guess you're going on some cheap shopping spree or something."
"Dad, I don't need a penthouse. And you don't have to know what I need it for. If you're not going to give to me, fine, I'll ju -"
"Calm down Justin. " His father cut in. "I'll send you the money. I don't care what you do with money. You could have billions of dollars if you choose to run the company."
Justin's lips remained mute, his eyes settling on the crowdy sidewalk he's striding on.
"We'd see to that later. But please send the money right now. It's an emergency." Justin said. He didn't wait for his father's response before ending the call.
Immediately, Justin's phone beeped. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars had been deposited into his account. A wide grin swept across his face as he gazed at this phone. He put it back in his pocket and proceeded down the block.

"Your payment has been confirmed sir, you can sign the papers now." The man sitting across Justin said. He slid some documents to Justin. Justin picked up the pen and the man showed him what section of the documents required his signature.
Justin's cheek melted in a smile as he signed the Purchase Agreement.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr. Justin."
"It's my pleasure." Justin retorted, clasping the man's hand in a handshake.
"Here's your car key." Justin took the car key and walked out of the dealership.
"Lilly, I'm sure you're not ready for this," Justin said as a smile shone over his mouth. He opened the door of the new car and the immaculate scenery of its interior captured his eyes. With a fresh clean whiff hunting from its luxury leather seats and digital dashboard.
A puff found its way out of Justin's lips, as he rubbed his hands over the wheels. "This isn't a cheap Velar." He muttered. "This a fucking Lamborghini Urus. Two fifty thousand dollars baby!" Justin yelled.
"Yes!" He grinned, slamming his hands over the wheels.
Justin ignited the engine and zoomed off.

The Tucsons’ spacious penthouse came into view as Tucson zoomed the sleek Lamborghini Urus in.
The Tucsons' luxury mansion is in the heart of the city with a sprawling garden and an infinity pool overlooking the skyline.
The warm glints of the sun beat down on his skin as he ecstatically alighted from the car.
"Lilly." He screamed. "Come out baby. I've got a surprise for you."
Tucson was the first to come out of the building.
"Why are you making no -" He couldn't complete the statement when he saw the new car.
A huff sped out of Tucson's lips, as he watched in amusement.
Mrs. Tucson and Diana walked out too. Just like Tucson, their lips hung up in outright shock.
Lilly ambled out, moments later and Justin rushed to pull her by the arm to show her the surprise.

Chapter 557: The Price of Loyalty
The days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty
Chapter 556: Reckoning
The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,
Chapter 555: The Enemy Within
Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an
Chapter 554: The Forgotten Foe
Upon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,

The days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell.
