2025-01-21 03:40:27Franco couldn't believe his eyes! Divorce was the last thing he ever thought to receive this night and all this happened because of one person - Edgar Cayce!
"You're divorcing me all because of Edgar?" Franco challenged, dragging the Divorce papers from his papers. "What makes him more special than I am, Elena? I am way more better and Influential than he is...it was just a matter of time until I reveal that to you..." Everyone bursted into immediate laughter following Franco's words. They couldn't believe that he was calling himself Influential when he was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law who did all the chores at home and even babysits his sister-in-law's child. "I wish those words you said would come to pass, Franco. But unfortunately, you cannot even be rich in your seventh life!" Elena said sarcastically, before caressing Edgar's hands. "Edgar here has been our biggest supporter in this Empire. All the contracts we bagged with international Companies are all because of him. You didn't do anything, Franco! All you contributed was eating and spending my money. But here you are proving that you're influential and even rich!" Franco found it very difficult to believe this! So, Edgar has been taking the favour of being the biggest SHOT in Elena's life? It was so hard for Edgar to bear this that he had to scoff, "The number one supporter, Edgar Cayce?" He said, smiling ironically. "This man here doesn't even know what GLC looks like nor does he know the full meaning of GLC so how is it possible for him to be your biggest Shot?" "I sponsored the Froston Empire. I increased their annual sales and even made them win an award, yet, an unknown unlearned person comes out and takes the PRAISE?" "Are you referring to me, Franco?" Edgar finally spoke up, his face dimming in anger! He used to see Franco as a fool in the past which was the reason he pleaded with his boss at the car wash to give him a Leave to attend his wife's Listing Ceremony but he never expected Franco to turn out so confident. "Perverts like you always keep their mouths glued to their tongue but you're here challenging your MAKER!" "Do you have a death wish?" Edgard added, attempting to walk further but Elena held his hands closely. Franco didn't seem to sit back and watch Edgar talk lowly at him. He stood his ground and confessed to Edgar to his face that he's a very big Liar. Edgar couldn't take this likely. He demonstrated to Rita and Elena that Franco was insulting him. Rita ran to him instantly, dressing his shirt. "Please Mr Cayce, don't exercise your anger on our family. We've been in this relationship for a very long time now... You may vex out your anger on Franco but please don't be mad at us!" "I helped you all with this contract because I love Elena. I can't stand a useless Son-in-law like Franco humiliating me in my very territory!" Edgar spoke immediately after Rita and Elena walked to him in a cool voice. "Please, Edgar. Don't be sad! Once Franco signs the papers, I'll get him out of this place!" Elena said, trying to please the anger in Edgar but he turned to her amicably, giving her a sign that he knew what he was doing. "Signing the Divorce papers is not my priority, Lena!" He said, adding "I want something else before my anger could subside!" Rita was the first to jump up, saying to Edgar, "Just say whatever you want and we will do it for you. As long as you'll be happy!" Then Elena's sister, added "Yes, Edgar! Just say whatever you want and we will get it ready for you!" Edgar stared at both Mara and her mother. Their expression taste gave him a go-ahead to make his demand. "There is only one way in which my anger could subside..." And that is if Franco will get on my knees, lick my feet and ask for my forgiveness!" He said, turning to Franco who smiled at him in a rather angry than happy way. As Edgar gave Franco a sight of defeat, Rita dragged Franco by his ear and walked him closer to Edgar. "You heard what he just said, right?" She said, fixing her cruel eyes on him. "Get on your knees, lick his feet and ask for his forgiveness!"

238. He Should Be Removed Immediately!
The silence that followed Franco’s threat was broken when Granny stepped forward. The tip of her walking stick struck the ground with a sharp crack, commanding attention. Her wrinkled face was stern, her eyes locked on Eddie.“What on earth are you thinking, boy?” she demanded. “Did you truly believe you could bring down the Lord? Do you have a death wish?”Eddie froze, his breath catching. Of all people, Granny was the last he expected to hear this from. He had thought she would show her resentment for Franco—maybe even stand beside him in tearing the man down. But her words revealed the opposite. She was siding with Franco.The realization stung like betrayal.“What are you saying, Granny?” Eddie’s voice shook with disbelief. “You mean to tell me I shouldn’t be doing this? Don’t you know who we’re talking about here? It’s Franco! The same useless man who once lived under your roof as a pauper. And now you defend him?” His voice rose, raw and incredulous. “You should be condemning hi
237. Choose Wisely!
The whispers in the crowd still rippled like restless wind when Franco turned his cold eyes toward Eddie.“I love your audacity, Eddie. But…” His voice trailed, heavy with menace.“You should have learned from what happened to Rita,” Franco continued, his tone sharpening. “Her fate should have been enough warning—that no one speaks against the Ruffian Lord.”Eddie turned to him, fearless, his stare piercing through the weight of the threat.“So, what exactly are you trying to prove by that? That you’re above being spoken against?”He stepped closer, his voice gaining edge. “You should know better, Franco. Just because you were made the Ruffian Lord doesn’t mean you’re pure. Personally, I don’t see anything Ruffian about you. You don’t even deserve the position you’re standing on.”The words barely left his mouth when a metallic click cracked the air—guns cocked and aimed at Eddie’s head.The sharp sound froze the crowd. Breath caught in throats as everyone braced for the inevitable—a
236. Do You Have Solid Reason To Back It Up?
As Rita collapsed, weak and fragile, the cameras instantly locked onto her face—the woman who had shaken the heart of the Lord.This had never happened before. Even Lord Xoxo himself was stunned. How could the Lord’s divine ears be moved by Muna’s words?The crowd whispered the same question, their voices rising in disbelief.Eddie only shook his head. He still couldn’t accept it. The very man he despised, mocked, and dragged through the mud—Franco—was now standing before them as the Ruffian Lord.The memory struck him like a blade. Months ago, Franco had challenged him to present a gift to the Scotts. Eddie brought fakes, confident in his scheme. Yet Franco had destroyed those gifts and—before everyone’s eyes—summoned Lord Xoxo to deliver treasures worth billions.Now it all made sense.Eddie’s lips trembled.“So… Franco was right that day? He wasn’t faking it? He… was the true genius?”His chest tightened. His thoughts dragged him back to that night.“And that night…”His pulse quic
238. The Ruffian Lord Can Be Merciful?
But even with all her begging and desperate pleas, her mother’s body kept trembling under the assault of that terrifying power.Her words couldn’t reach Franco. They bounced off him as if they were nothing, and the sight of this made her lips quiver.“My words don’t reach the ears of the Lord… This isn’t the Franco I once knew. This version is merciless, unyielding. Why? Why can’t he hear me? Is he truly this wicked—or is he only taking his revenge on us?”As the thought left her trembling lips, she looked up again—and froze. Franco’s ears were glowing. Her head shook violently as she whispered to herself, trying to grasp the meaning of it.It wasn’t only her who was shaken. The people watching also asked themselves, their voices filled with dread.“Why is this happening? Why are the Lord’s ears glowing?”“This can’t be a good thing!”“No…this is bad, terribly bad!”“Is this a curse? A bad omen? What on earth is happening?!”Everyone had questions, yet not a single answer that could e
237. I Have Sinned I know
Elena’s lips quivered until her teeth began to chatter. She stood rooted, watching her mother convulse as if struck by lightning. Breath jagged, she tried to make sense of it all. “Franco is the—Franco is the Ruffian Lord?” The words came out broken, each syllable soaked in disbelief.Rita’s body shuddered under the invisible pressure. Maya threw herself to her knees before Franco and bowed her head until her forehead touched the floor. “My Lord, have mercy. Please—my mother didn’t mean to. She failed you; she failed to show you the honor you deserve. Spare her life.”Franco’s fists tightened. Mercy did not live on his face. He unleashed another searing orb; it struck Rita with bone-deep force. Her mouth hung open—soundless. She hovered between worlds: mind sharp, body betrayed by pain.Edgar staggered as if the revelation had knocked the breath out of him. “Franco… the Ruffian Lord?” he repeated to himself, as though saying it might bend reality.Maya’s voice cracked again. “Please,
