Chapter 956

Trueman scoffed and said, “By the V16, of course! The mysterious organization was founded by the Imperial League. The ultimate goal of the mysterious organization is to decipher human DNA to achieve eternal youth and immortality!” Nora didn’t believe him, “You don’t need to sow discord between us.”

But Trueman said, “Then how do you think the mysterious organization got its funding for the experiments when it has never engaged in commerce? Did money fall from the sky?”

The mysterious organization’s experiments were simply too big and too broad. In addition, they hired many professionals from various fields. Their daily expenses were enormous. It was true that there was no way they could support those huge expenses without strong financial resources.

Nora frowned.

Seeing that she kept quiet, Trueman said slowly, “Heh, I don’t mind telling you the truth: The mysterious organization was created by the Imperial League itself! You think King is a young man? He’s already grown old! He wants to live forever! He doesn’t want to die! He doesn’t want to die. He’s also taken all those genetic serums they injected me with! Now he’s just waiting for the V16!”

Aged?

Nora looked at Justin again.

Justin reached out and put his finger to his lips, indicating to Nora not to reveal his identity.

Although Nora didn’t understand what was going on, she continued to listen to Trueman.

“You don’t believe me? Then I’ll tell you this: my father is none other than King! He fathered dozens of children back then to experiment on them. I was the only one who survived. He also injected himself with the genetic serums, so he’s waiting for the V16 to save his own life! He’s even scarier than me, And yet you’d rather trust him than me?”

Nora: “?”

Justin was even more confused than she was.

Since when did he have such an older son?

As the two looked at each other, Trueman scoffed and said, “But… heh, under my leadership, the mysterious organization has long since shed its control. Even if I get the V16, I won’t give it to him! Because he’s the devil! The devil himself! He’s scum!”

Trueman became quite agitated. Toward the end, Trueman went so far as to say, “I won’t give him the V16 anymore. The ‘King’ who is with you now is definitely a fake. I know the real King very well. You’d better be careful and don’t let him fool you.”

Then Trueman smiled and added, “You’re welcome.”

As soon as he said this, Trueman hung up.

After he hung up the phone, Nora finally looked at Justin and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Justin took off his mask.

Everyone in the car at that moment was one of their own. Queenie had also discovered Justin’s true identity and was also looking at him curiously at that moment.

Justin sighed quietly and replied, “The Old King you mentioned is my maternal grandfather.”

Nora: “?”

Maternal grandfather?

Come to think of it, she had never met Iris’s family.

But wasn’t Iris from an ordinary family? Nora remembered that her family had forced her to marry Justin’s father by threatening her with her sick mother?

Thinking about that, Nora suddenly thought about her own situation, and suddenly realized something. She looked at Justin, to which Justin predictably said, “My mother’s father was not an Evans. I only found out about this when I was fifteen. The Imperial League suddenly approached me at that time.”

Justin would never forget that day.

At the age of fifteen, he had not yet taken over the Hunt Corporation and was being suppressed by his Uncle Raymond. He remembered it all too clearly.

That day, Raymond made fun of him for being a penniless boy and ridiculed him by saying that, without his parents, he had nothing to his name. He told him that, without the Hunt’s support, he was nothing but a penniless scumbag.

At the time, the Hunt Corporation was being restructured. Raymond had used his connections to thwart his attempts to borrow from the bank. Without any start-up capital, he couldn’t do any of the projects he wanted to do.

In fact, he couldn’t borrow a single penny from the bank. At that point he stormed out of the house. But the next moment, King’s servant found him. The servant took him straight to Old King. King was really very old, he looked to be about eighty or ninety years old. He stared at Justin for a long time before looking down and saying, “All right, so it’s you.”

Justin didn’t understand what he was talking about, but the servant said, “Sir said you will inherit King’s mantle in the Imperial League.”

Justin: “?”

After speaking, the servant took out a bank card and handed it to him. “This is your pocket money. Think it over, Young Master Hunt.”

When Justin checked the balance on the bank card after the two had left, he discovered that there were several million dollars inside.

He was astonished.

As rich as the Hunts were, they weren’t going to give a kid millions of dollars as pocket money so lightly. A couple of million dollars was enough for the company to have all of its working capital.

It wasn’t until later, when he took over the Imperial League, that he realized just how rich this mysterious family was. A few million dollars was but a drop in the bucket.

As Queenie listened to Justin’s explanation, she asked curiously, “Your mother didn’t know about this all this time?”

Justin nodded. “Yes. Grandpa had passed away a long time ago, so I didn’t tell Mom. She’s always thought she was the Evans’ daughter. She’s already cut ties with her family for my sake, so the Evanses have been behaving themselves all these years, too.”

A curious Nora asked, “Why did old King pick you?”

The mantle of ‘King’ was reserved for the leader of the Imperial League since its inception.

The code names of the alliance did not change. Some of them had already existed for hundreds of years. In the past, when telephones did not yet exist, they had used letters to transmit information to each other.

Thus, code names were passed down from generation to generation.

At the question, Justin remained silent for a while before finally saying, “I was very curious back then, too. Besides, it all happened in an instant after he chose me. The second time I saw that servant was when my grandfather passed away. He came to see me with all the confidential documents of the Imperial League and told me to take charge of it.”

At the time, Justin was only 18 years old!

It was only when he later investigated the matter that he discovered that Old King didn’t have many children left in the world. Iris was his only surviving daughter.

Justin was also his only blood relative left in the world.

Because of this, Justin had secretly grown close to his maternal grandmother, that is, Iris’s mother.

His grandmother was already in poor health at the time, and she told him the truth on her deathbed.

It turned out that her grandmother had been kidnapped in her youth. She, along with a group of beautiful women, had been imprisoned in a room, and a king-like man had held them captive.

Her grandmother learned that every time one of these women gave birth to a child, they would take the child away, never to return it.

So she looked for an opportunity to escape.

The pregnant woman then married the Evanses and gave birth to Iris….

“At the time, I even wondered, “Since Old King is such a pervert and likes to father children so much, how is it possible that he doesn’t have more children? Where exactly did all those children go? But now, at last, I know the answer.”

Justin said solemnly, “They had all been sent as experimental subjects for genetic experiments.”

Nora frowned.

Were they already conducting experiments during Iris’s generation?

It seemed that the research and development of the genetic serum had begun even earlier than she had anticipated.

Justin frowned and then said, “No wonder the old servant has been hiding one of the Imperial League’s ledgers from me all this time. Come to think of it, the amount in that ledger must have gone to support the mysterious organization.”

He was puzzled. “It’s just that… I thought all his children were dead, but if Trueman is still alive, why did he choose me as his heir?”

Nora said slowly, “I may know the reason.”
