Rita's command didn't make any impression on Franco who stood confidently before Edgar, giving him a look which explained "Do your worst!"
Noticing that Franco wasn't doing what he was asked to do, Mara walked to him with her stylish Gen-Z attitude. "Why aren't you on your knees pleading for mercy, huh?" She asked, "Is it until you meet your dead end that you'd realize that there is no need to act all brave here?" "She's right, Franco!" Elena spoke up after her sister. "Edgar here is a billion times more powerful than you are. Why don't you put your ego aside and lick his feet? You're not even influential to begin with so what's the need of your pride?" Seeing how much Elena and Mara spoke well about him, Edgar was already feeling too big of himself. He put his hands in his pocket and smiled contradictorily at Franco. "You heard them right, Franco. Why don't you be an obedient dog and lick my feet? It's not too much to ask, because you're filthy Poor!" "I refuse to kneel before my fellow Man and worst of all, lick the feet of my fellow Man!" Franco exposed deeply, angry veins popping out on his forehead. "I'm scared, Franco!" Edgar dramatized, forcing giggling from the guests. "You call yourself a Man, Franco but you couldn't even afford panties for your wife! You call yourself a Man yet you take your three square meals from your Wife's family. What type of a man is so useless that he watches his wife make success while he sits idle? Is that person a Man?" Edgar said, his tone becoming more serious, yet, Humiliating. "Just let go of your foolish Ego, and lick my feet. You're not a Man, are you?" "You must be in your deepest dream to think that I'll kneel for you talk more of saying SORRY! Just keep dreaming, Edgar Cayce!" Franco said rudely, increasing the anger in Edgar's body. He has never received this amount of insult before so to prove to Franco that he was capable, he yelled out. "If you won't kneel before me, then I will make you do it by FORCE!" He spoke out harshly, his tone filled with venom. "Men!" He screamed immediately and three MUSCULAR men walked in from nowhere. As the muscular men walked in, the guests decided among themselves that Franco was a GONER because the men approaching him were physically strong! No way he'd be escaping from them! "Attack this Man here and make him go on his feet!" Edgar directed to the men who responded in uniform "Yes, Sir!" Immediately after their response, they walked towards Franco fiercely, positioning their fists to punch Franco but Franco used his two palms to respectively grab the arms of the Muscular men. Before the men could notice what was going on, Franco twisted their fists into two, breaking their bones! "Arghhhhhh!" They yelled but Franco refused to let them go! Seeing this, Edgar directed angrily to the third man, "What the heck are you waiting for? Attack him right now?" Before the third man could walk forward, Franco stretched out his left leg! Using his super KICKING power, Franco kicked the Muscular man backward and he landed fiercely on the Banquet Exit! As the man landed fiercely on the floor, the entire guests were left in awe especially Rita and Elena who knew that Franco was as weak as an ant so how is it possible for him to fight like this? "Do you still have more Men left in your chamber?" Franco directed at Edgar who was still panting in surprise. "How did you manage to fight like that?" Edgar asked. "As long as I can remember, the only people who can fight like this are members of the Ruffian Club! So how did you manage to fight like them when you are not even their member?" Edgar's question made Franco force out a smile which disappeared instantly. Edgar was right! Franco did fight like a Ruffian but the truth is that Franco is not a member of the Ruffian Gang. In fact, he is the Ruffian Lord which is the strongest and Richest Fighting Group in Otlanto. Five years ago, Franco saved an old man from assassinators. The old man saw a lot of potential in him and decided to teach him Martial Arts. While training in martial arts and medicine, Franco discovered that the old man was the Ruffian Lord and the president of GLC. After his practice, the old man puts Franco to a test to live an ordinary life for four years. If he succeeds by living the life of a poor man without revealing his true identity, he will be the next Ruffian Lord! Throughout these four years, Franco has been living a poor man's life as Elena's husband and has been secretly booming her business just because he loves her. Last week, he received a message from the old man who trained him in martial arts and magic, that he has passed the Loyalty test and is now the Ruffian Lord. ALSO, he is the new CEO of GLC!

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,
