Chapter 2358
The massive, opulent gates creaked open slowly as Remy steered the luxury car into the Sedonian fortress, a relic from the Middle Ages, with casual ease.
After parking, both Remy and Sheryl got out of the car and attended to Justin.
As Justin emerged from the vehicle, his expression remained impassive, but his eyes were chillingly dark, reflecting an intensity he kept tightly in check.
His stride was steady, exuding an air of authority, eerily reminiscent of Jasper''s presence.
He was only able to appear so because he got Sheryl to inject a dose of adrenaline before he got out of the car. This shot was one that RC Biotechnology Research Institute had recently developed.
His only purpose was to no longer look like an invalid before that man. He had to make himself presentable. "This is a private residence. Please hold on for a moment."
This ce was heavily guarded at the door. Bodyguards wearing suits and white gloves stopped them in their tracks.
With a vicious look in his eyes, Justin curled his lips into a condescending smirk. Without a word, he reached into his chest pocket and withdrew a golden-edged card, presenting it to the bodyguards.
The two bodyguards lowered their heads to examine the card. Their expressions shifted dramatically as they immediately bowed low. "Wee, sir! This way, please."
The change in demeanor was jarring-just moments before, they had been cold, and now they were deeply respectful. Sheryl couldn''t suppress her smile, following Justin with curiosity bubbling inside her.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
She couldn''t help but nce at the card. It was a striking, gold-colored poker card, its surface etched with intricate designs and adorned with gleaming rubies. The King of Hearts was printed on it in bold relief.
An attendant led them deeper into the fortress.
Remy was expressionless the whole time, while Sheryl''s eyes darted everywhere silently.
Deep down, she was in absolute awe of the extravagance of the building''s interior design. At the same time, she tried her best to conceal her emotions as she did not want to bring about embarrassment to Justin through her callow reactions.
Growing up, she had felt the same awe when Sophia brought her in and out of Seaview Manor. When sheter became Justin''s follower, she had thought his luxurious Wiktorian house in Mosgravia was the height of opulence. But this ce was on an entirely different level.
In that moment, it became clear to her that she had much to learn. She had been too na?ve, too limited in her thinking.
The walls were lined with authentic paintings and priceless antiques, each item alone worth millions. It was a world that felt out of reach.
Sheryl could no longer suppress her curiosity. She asked, "Sir, where... where are we?"
Looking straight ahead, Justin answered frostily, "We''re at Kings'' Club."
Even though Remy wasn''t paying particr attention, he paused when he heard that name.
He''d heard whispers of Kings'' Club from influential figures in far-flung parts of the world. It was known that no amount of money could buy ess to this ce. Only those with immense power and family prestige could hope to gain entry.
As it turned out, this was where Kings'' Club was.
"In this ce, people can fulfill any desire, buy anything they want-it surpasses even the wildest imagination," Justin continued, his lips twisting into a dark, knowing smile.
Sheryl was astounded. She questioned further, "So, was that poker card you had... an invitation card?"
''It''s a symbol of my identity."
"In that case, the King of Spades means...
With a grim look on his face, Justin exined, "Jack, Queen, King, and Ace are the different ranks of the VIPs of this ce. J is the lowest rank; by inference, Ace is the highest of all ranks. Out of the four card suits, spades is the most honorable one."
Sheryl beamed in awe. "I knew it. No matter where we go, you are the one who stands out from the crowd with nobility!"
With both his hands in his pockets, Remy stared at Sheryl as if she was an idiot who only knew how to tter others.
"Are you hard of hearing? Sir has shared that Ace is above King. Out of all the Aces, there is also the Ace of Spades. That is the person with the highest rank of them all."
Sheryl shot him a fierce re.
