Notwithstanding whatever they had in mind about him, Franco walked to the stage.

He arrived there and flashed Adam with a sharp, painful grin full of mockery.

“Thank you, Mr Khan!” Franco said, taking the microphone from Adam.

As Franco shook hands with the Host, Adam boiled more and more.

That's the same man he planned to ruin, standing on the stage as a big shot.

The worst part is that he wholeheartedly called Franco onto the stage, meaning that Franco was a big time worthier than him.

Adam took his leave from the stage. He couldn't stand Franco's presence, and the flying cameras might capture his agitated face, so it was better that he left as early as it was possible!

When he got to his seat, Elena bombarded him with several questions. “How on earth did that Franco end up being the big shot? Didn't they see how worthless he is before asking him to take the place of a special Guest?”

Adam simply ignored Elena, still fuming over what just happened. “I know how sad and bad it feels

  • 183. Stone Reghas!

    Stone Reghas. The name alone was enough to silence rooms and haunt the dreams of world leaders. For decades—maybe even centuries—he had walked the earth, untouchable, unstoppable, and unseen. No one knew how long he had lived. No one dared to ask. Nations had tried everything—covert strikes, high-grade tech, even supernatural means—to stop him, but none had ever succeeded.He was more than an assassin. He was a legend carved in blood and silence.What made him terrifying wasn’t just his immortality or the supernatural powers that pulsed beneath his silver-clad skin. It was the fact that he never failed. Once Stone Reghas accepted a contract, the target was already as good as dead. High-profile politicians and their enemies had long realized that if you wanted someone wiped from the world—completely erased—Stone was the man to call. And he never needed to ask twice. His jobs were done with brutal precision, and no matter how secure the location, the man always found a way in.And out?

  • 182. I Want Franco Dead!

    Back at Otlanto General Hospital, Eddie Watson arrived with his men to visit his brother.Billy’s condition hadn't improved.The injuries he sustained during the counterattack with Franco had left his body wrecked. Franco had lifted him from a terrifying height and slammed him to the ground like a bag of bones. That day changed everything.Billy had slipped into a coma for weeks, and though he eventually woke up—that same reason Eddie could even attend the award ceremony with Adam back then—his recovery had been a nightmare. Months had passed, but his bones refused to heal. He’d been confined to a hospital bed, stuck in a wheelchair, robbed of everything he once enjoyed.He missed the wild nights. The freedom. The parties. The girls.But Franco took that from him. And now, he lay there, a prisoner of his own shattered body, watching time pass while his youth wasted away.In his VIP ward, Billy stared ahead with a twisted look of anger, frustration boiling beneath his skin.His body mi

  • 181. New Villain Detected

    Franco's throat tightened as Aria's eyes locked on him. He could feel sweat forming beneath his collar despite the air-conditioning. Inside, panic stirred. If Aria recognized him now—recognized him as the Ruffian Lord—everything would unravel too soon.“You sure you know him?” Muna asked Aria with a playful squint. “I don’t recall telling you I got married to Franco. Or… did you see it in the news?”Aria slowly peeled her gaze off Franco and turned to Muna. “His face looks familiar,” she muttered. “Like someone I might have bumped into before. But I don’t really know him...”Her voice trailed off as she turned back to Franco, squinting hard—as if some memory was fighting its way to the surface.“Wait,” she said, narrowing her eyes further. “You’re telling me this man is your husband? Seriously, Muna? I don’t even know this guy. He’s a nobody. He’s not on any billionaire list. Not even a Forbes mention. Just… useless. Why would someone like you—rich, gorgeous, and accomplished—waste yo

  • 180. Aria's Arrival!

    Franco watched Muna closely, his brows drawn as he noticed how her gaze hadn’t left her phone screen for minutes now. Her expression had softened into something between surprise and joy, and her lips kept twitching like she was holding back a smile.Curious, Franco leaned a bit forward, trying to catch her eyes. “I guess someone just got a sweet message from her crush, huh?” he teased, voice light but probing.Muna snapped out of her trance and looked up at him, her smile widening. “No, Franco,” she chuckled. “It’s not what it seems like!”Franco raised a brow, playful suspicion in his eyes. He signaled a waiter with a small wave and turned back to her. “Oh really? Then tell me—what does the message say? Because I know you well, and that kind of glow doesn’t come from a business deal.”Muna tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and grinned. “Well, it’s not business related at all. The message is from my old friend—Aria. She just texted that she’s finally coming back from C

  • 179. Let's Meet Up At The Airport!

    Muna immediately brought the phone down and ended the call. She glanced up at Franco with a quick, reassuring smile, the kind that looked sincere—if you didn’t know better.“It’s nobody, Franco!” she said sweetly.But on the other end of the line, Michael's blood boiled. He had clearly heard Franco’s voice in the background… and now Muna had the nerve to hang up on him? That simple click felt like a slap to the face. He gritted his teeth, gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white.Meanwhile, Franco took a seat across from Muna, eyeing her curiously.“Nobody?” he repeated. “But I just heard you speaking to someone. You even said I’m your husband.”Muna reached over and gently rubbed his hand, keeping her smile warm and convincing. “Oh, it was just one of my aunties—a distant relation. She was trying to hook me up with some guy, asking if I was ready for marriage. I just reminded her that I’m already married—to you.” She gave a soft chuckle. “I would’ve said more if

  • 178. Who Is That?

    “Get the car ready,” Muna said as she picked up her bag, throwing a bright smile at her grandmother. “Agreement is agreement.” Granny mirrored the smile. “Alright then! Have a great day ahead!” Muna waved goodbye and walked off. To the old lady, it was certain—Franco had no chance of winning the challenge. It didn’t even cross her mind that Muna would leak the location of the Ruffian Lord to him. And when the thought did sneak into her head, she brushed it off with a smug chuckle. Franco is nothing but a useless animal. He’ll get kicked out by the Ruffian Lord before he even sets eyes on him. Granny had carefully crafted that condition for Muna with one goal in mind: securing a rich, powerful husband for her granddaughter. Whether it ended up being the Ruffian Lord or the influential Eddie Watson didn’t matter to her. As long as Muna was married into money and status, it was all she cared about. Meanwhile, Muna was buzzing with excitement. She knew her grandmother too well. Gran
