    Justin stared at those three pills in shock.


    The chilling dread, brought by the unknown, surged and churned through his heart.


    Christopher was calcting, cunning, and cruel. Everything he said could easily be a clever maniption of words.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Perhaps these pills were simply poison, and Christopher wanted to kill him without spilling any blood.


    "If I take them all, will you let Be go?" Justin parted his lips. His voice cracked and faltered.


    Christopher smiled indifferently. "Yeah."


    "Do you think I believe you? If you want to kill me,e out here yourself or send yourckeys to face me head-on. Or better yet, shoot me."


    Justin mmed his fist on the ss again. "Don''t try to trick me with this wicked method. I won''t fall for it!"


    "You choose." Christopher''s smile deepened. "It''s either you or her. Justin, the choice is yours."


    Justin felt as if his heart was cut by a de. He roared, "Christopher! Don''t you dare touch Be!"


    "If you say so, you''ve already made your choice." Christopher picked up the ck pill and left the other two to prevent Justin from trying something clever. "Just take this one. I don''t want to make things difficult for you."


    "Give me all of them!" Justin saw through his intentions and said without hesitation, "I''ll do as you ask. Let Be go!"


    From the beginning, he knew he had no choice.


    He feared Christopher would give Be something harmful, and he was more afraid that if he resisted too much, Christopher would harm her.


    His brothers were already on their way. By going along with Christopher''s n, he could buy them more time to rescue Be.


    Even if it was poison, he had to endure it.


    Soon, the maid appeared before Justin with the box of pills, seemingly out of nowhere.


    "Go on. Prove it to me."


    Christopher''s eyes gleamed with cold excitement behind his gold-rimmed sses, like a venomous snake.


    Justin lowered his eyes, tears hanging on his eyshes as he stared at the three pills in his hand.


    Time passed, second by second.


    Just as Christopher was about to mock him unscrupulously, his eyes widened in shock.


    Justin suddenly tilted his head back and swallowed all three pills at once without any hesitation.


    At the same time, as if linked by an invisible connection, Be''s long eyshes fluttered, and her slender fingers twitched involuntarily.


    Christopher''s pupils constricted in surprise.


    No one could guess what effect the Boss''s pills would have after being ingested, or what consequences might follow.


    Justin swallowed them all in one go, not even taking them one by one. Was Justin really unafraid?


    The man before him was restrained, strong, and fearless.


    Inparison, other men in the world could only feel inferior, admiration, and respect for Justin.


    Christopher threw his head back andughed maniacally, tears of pain rolling down his face. Until today, he never believed his love for Be was less than Justin''s. But at this moment, he finally understood that the gap between them was immeasurable.


    Even if he spent his whole life catching up or returned to the starting point, he could neverpare to Justin.


    After a moment, the pills began to take effect in Justin''s body. His dark pupils shrank sharply before suddenly dting.


    Justin felt his eyeballs swelling, almost ready to pop out of their sockets. His heart pounded violently, and every nerve in his body screamed in rebellion, spiraling out of control.


    "Ugh!" Justin moaned painfully as he finally could not hold on anymore, copsing to his knees.
