Here Comes the Lord Chapter 54 The Gray-Clad Group
Viper tightened his grip on the baton, his eyes locked on Mark.The tension in the room was suffocating as the party-goers held their breaths, each of them acutely aware of the impending clash.Would Mark emerge from this confrontation unscathed?It was one thing to dispatch a few low-level thugs; taking down the gang’s leader was a completely different battle altogether.Just when it seemed that defeat was inevitable, a sudden loud noise pierced the air. The ballroom doors swung open with a force that diverted everyone's attention.Heads turned in unison, surprise washing over their faces as a new group of men entered the scene.Unlike Viper's rowdy crew, these newcomers exuded an air of intimidation, but their entrance was far more organized and respectful.Clad in sharp gray suits that seemed to signify their unity, they definitely weren’t the sort one would expect to see in a brawl.Viper, taken aback by the unexpected interruption, briefly ceased his advance on Mark. What did thi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 55 Romulo Awakens from His Illusion
The applause erupted, filling the room with a wave of excitement as the gray-clad group was showered with admiration for their display of strength and courage.Finally, the party-goers felt safe again, their fears momentarily set aside.Luana, tears streaming down her face, stepped forward. "Thank you so much, all of you!"Karl, still wide-eyed from the chaos, couldn't help but comment, "Wow, the security level of this club is shocking, right? Which agency did you train with?"The leader of the gray-clad group chuckled softly, not offering any real answers.Mark Ferro, their leader, had been clear in his instructions — they were not to reveal their true identity.So, they let the party-goers believe they were merely staff of the venue.Luana, turning her gaze to Fernanda, asked, "And now, Fernanda? What do you have to say?"Fernanda stood frozen, her mind reeling from the rapid turn of events.Her plan, meticulously crafted with her boyfriend to take down Briana, had crumbled in secon
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 56 A Night to Remember
The reunion party for the former college classmates would forever be etched in their memories.It was the night when a gang of street toughs barged into the venue, thinking they'd wreak havoc, only to be met by a far more audacious, skilled, and lethal group.Romulo, barely avoiding a shot to the ear, crumpled to the ground, his macho façade shattering completely.The bravado he'd worn like armor fell away, leaving him exposed and trembling."Please! Please don't shoot!" Romulo begged, his voice thick with fear. "I don't know who you are, but I don't want any more trouble!"The leader of the gray-clad group looked down at him with a smirk. "But you just moments ago wanted these individuals to teach a lesson to the guests of this party.""No, no, NO!" Romulo cried, desperation seeping through every word. "I admit I was wrong! Please forgive me!"Fernanda, watching her boyfriend grovel, was outraged. "Romulo, what are you doing? Get up!"But Romulo snapped back at her, "Shut up, you stu
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 57 Unspoken Rivalry
"Speaking of which, Mr. Ferro, we think it's really cool that you defended Briana like that," Karl said, turning to Mark with a nod of respect."That's right!" another classmate chimed in. "Even though you seem like a nobody, you surprised us by taking down those two goons!"Luana added, "That's how a man should defend his beloved woman! You guys, on the other hand, seemed a bit scared. Why didn't you help Mark?"Karl quickly defended himself and the others. "Oh, come on! We're not trained in martial arts like Briana's husband! Where did you learn those moves, Mr. Ferro?""Did you learn them on a Hollywood set?" another classmate joked.Mark, ever humble, responded discreetly, "Oh, I learned a few basic moves when I served in the army. But nothing too impressive.""Nothing too impressive?" Karl said, raising an eyebrow. "Let me tell you something: your initiative in taking out those guys was what destabilized Víbora and the others."Lawrence, who had been silently watching the convers
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 58 Were You Framed?
The car jolted over the uneven road, a sinister black vehicle that swallowed the light.Inside, Fernanda and Romulo sat in grim silence, their hands bound and their faces etched with worry.The air was stifling, thick with the stench of Romulo’s urine-soaked pants.Fernanda, normally so poised and confident, now seemed deflated, her pride wilted like a forgotten flower.When she had learned that Briana would be at the reunion party, the fire in her eyes had burned hotter than ever.It was a chance for revenge against what she saw as years of living in Briana’s shadow.Yet, as always, Briana had triumphed, and now Fernanda was heading toward an uncertain fate.Fernanda's gaze cut sharply toward Romulo, her frustration palpable. “For Christ’s sake, Romulo! I understand that the bullet grazed your ear might have scared you, but did you really have to wet your pants?”Romulo’s face reddened as he shot back, “You would have reacted the same way! Stop pretending to be so strong and powerful
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 59 Friends Are for This
Briana’s face turned a deep shade of frustration and disappointment at Luana's question.Her anger was so intense that she could barely speak. "But... W-what kind of absurdity is this, Luana?""It’s not absurd if you think it through," Luana replied, maintaining a dignified posture as if she genuinely wanted to help a friend in need. "You’re not obligated to do anything you don’t want to."You’re a Vasconcelos. Your family still holds power. If your grandmother and uncles find out the truth, they’ll forgive you and help you.""I don’t want anything more to do with them! Even if Mark Ferro were extremely rich, he doesn’t have the arrogance and pretentiousness that my family considers normal," Briana said, shaking her head and frowning.She moved to the drinks table, and a waiter poured her another glass. Luana was relentless. "Come on, Briana, let me help. If nothing’s wrong, why have you never told me exactly how you and Matt met?"Briana’s eyes widened in surprise as she turned her b
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 60 Where’s Mark?
Time passed, and the day of Mark and Briana’s wedding arrived.However, it was the same day that Katrina and James were also getting married.This reminded everyone involved of the infamous bet James and Mark had made about who would throw the more lavish party.Fearing that Mark might somehow win the bet, Katrina and James decided to cancel their ceremony at the Rocha Hotel and booked the family’s event hall located in a more remote neighborhood.This provided more parking space and even a helicopter landing pad, should anyone need it.Katrina was looking at the interior of the elegantly decorated hall, adorned with top-quality materials and fresh flowers.Christopher, the older brother, gave a thumbs-up in approval.“Little sis, everything is perfect. You’re going to rock it today.”“The person I want to rock is someone else.” Katrina giggled, thinking of Briana.“Don’t worry. Today is your day.” Christopher patted her on the head.“Christopher, I don’t know if I can thank you enoug
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 61 Agent 12
At some isolated point in Braspolis, Mark stood waiting with his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face. The deserted road stretched out horizontally, seemingly without a beginning or an end. A warm wind brushed against Mark's face, slightly ruffling his hair. As he glanced at his wristwatch (a very expensive brand, though unknown to Briana's family), the sound of an approaching car made Mark more alert. As he waited, a limousine pulled up near him. Several men in black got out and greeted him respectfully. "Lord Ferro!" "What's the situation?" Mark asked in a serious tone, fitting for someone who is the leader of the Army. "Inside are the wife and daughter of Agent 12, Lord Ferro," The driver, who seemed to be in charge of the mission, responded promptly. "Unfortunately, our agent is still in enemy hands. We are doing everything possible to rescue him unharmed." Mark nodded. He approached the limousine's rear door. There, a woman around 35 years old and a teenage

Chapter 473 Save the Pratt Family!
The LCN building stood imposing amid numerous skyscrapers vying for space in the urban landscape of Lagoon City. Mark and James passed through the entrance as if they were celebrities. Photos were taken, and employees looked on in deep admiration. “Look, the representative from Glamour who rocked those two TV series!” “I liked ‘Colorful Kisses’ better; what about you?” “Obviously, I liked ‘Times of Glory’ more, full of those ripped, shirtless male characters!” “I don’t think the series was supposed to highlight that...” As Mark walked past those commenting, he nodded vigorously before stepping into the elevator. There, he commented to James, “‘Times of Glory’ is a show made for men, showcasing the Middle Ages with its customs and epic tales. But the only thing the ladies are noticing are the actors playing the warriors.” “If Ray Dixon shows up in the second season, the female audience will surpass the male!” James laughed. “And have you talked to Katrina since the premiere o
Chapter 472 Change of Command
The next day, Ryan appeared at the Red House nightclub. The nightclub was built in the same style as the now-defunct ‘Red Light’: bar, tables and chairs, a wide space for the flow of customers and waitresses... and the infamous stage for ‘dancers’. Ryan entered, looking around. He found a few waiters scattered throughout the hall, sweeping up dust, cigarette ashes, and snack crumbs. What appeared to be the manager, a burly red-haired man, was behind the bar, checking the stock of drinks and cocktail ingredients. Ryan approached him. “Are you Ivan?” Ryan asked. “Who wants to know?” Ivan straightened up, suspicious. “Ryan Ribas, brother of Romulo Ribas.” Ryan took a seat on the stool. Ivan stared at Ryan for a long moment. “You really do look like him.” “Then we can skip the DNA test.” Ryan gestured, signaling business. “Let’s get straight to the point. Are you aware of what happened in Braspolis?” Ivan shook his head in disdain. “Amateurs. When the police sum 2 + 2...” “The p
Chapter 472 Establishing the Mission
“So that’s why you got married, Lord Ferro?” Evandro finally understood. “Oh, how cruel! From what we see of Lady Ferro on TV, she’s a kind and good girl. She will fit perfectly as your companion when you take the reins of Aurelia, Lord Ferro.” Ray explained, “Only she doesn’t know yet.” “I don’t want to expose her to more dangers by revealing my identity. Rest assured, there are many people willing to do her harm if they find out she’s married to me. They just need to think she’s married to a mere manager of her company.” Evandro remembered a detail, “Glamour technically belongs to her.” Mark snapped his fingers, pleased with Evandro’s recollection. If Celia had listened to Mark that day, he would have given Glamour to her to preside over. But Celia didn’t want to know and asked for a divorce. Now that Briana is his wife, Mark would need to devise a way to give the company to her. “Briana nailed both of her shows. Her parents are in favor of our union, but so far, no one in th
Chapter 471 Welcome to Lagoon City!
Lagoon City. The city that is constantly referred to as the “Brazilian Los Angeles” or the “Capixaba New York” because of the promise it emanates of new life and opportunity to all who move there. In Armando’s case, he was also in search of an opportunity. The city where Josias Rocha reigned supreme shone at night, with the bustling downtown where workers sought their way home. But our story takes us a little away from the center, heading toward the coastal area. In the famous neighborhood of Sunset Village, the place where a good part of the elite lived, stood Mark’s mansion. The mansion was painted white and had a colonial style, traditional yet elegant, a feast for the eyes of anyone who saw it. Mark rejected the exaggerated and futuristic modernisms that some mansions embraced. James and Armando were left speechless when they entered the “foyer” of the mansion, which resembled a grand atrium. “A fountain IN HERE?” Armando exclaimed. Not even in his wildest dreams would th
Chapter 470 Follow Your Path
Before Gilson left Katrina’s office, he paused at the door, indecisive. Then, he turned to her. “Are you serious about Mark?” A triumphant smile appeared on Katrina’s lips. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist the mystery.” “What mystery? Come on, be more straightforward!” “I found Armando Pratt. He was having coffee at Sweet Aroma,” Katrina informed him. “He said Aunt Nadir urged him to go after Briana to convince her to divorce Mark.” “That must have been when my mom had just kicked them out of the mansion,” Gilson suggested. “I think so too. Anyway, Armando claimed that Mark made a phone call to Alan Rocha, and five minutes later, his father called to announce the sudden bankruptcy. The reason? They offended the wrong people.” Gilson squinted and scratched his chin, thinking... “Mark, with all this going on? As if those helicopters and the Aurelia Cathedral where the wedding took place weren’t enough...” “That’s a lot for just being the backup for Young Mr. Rocha, huh?”
Chapter 469 A Strange Way to Behave
At the Vasconcelos Company, Gilson was not willing to let Katrina off the hook for the failure of the series she created. “Daughter, do you understand why your series flopped?” Katrina jumped up from her seat, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Stop saying that! For heaven’s sake, we’re still on the first episode!” Gilson shook his head, disheartened. “I see you still have a lot to learn. Daughter, we had a viewership goal, and that goal wasn’t met. We expected 6 rating points; we only reached 2.” Katrina felt like spitting blood. Damn it! “Do you understand that—” “‘Do you understand that—’” Katrina mockingly imitated her father’s voice, interrupting him rudely. “Change the record, old man, will you?” Gilson remained unfazed, “Do you understand that your trip to prison hurt your series’ performance? Do you understand that we failed because we lost the support of LCN?” Katrina wanted to bury herself in a hole. Anything would be better than taking responsibility for the wrongdo
Chapter 468 Trying for an Interview
Katrina was now in her office at the Vasconcelos Company.Thinking about everything Armando said, she still couldn’t understand what he had told her.“Mark Ferro called Alan Campos Rocha and turned the Pratt family into a bunch of broke people with just one phone call in five minutes. How is that even humanly possible? And why would Young Mr. Rocha heed the request of a crazy slum dweller like Mark?”The door opened, and Gilson appeared, overhearing Katrina’s question murmured between clenched teeth.“Daughter, are you still worried about Briana and Mark? Forget them, and focus on your life.”Katrina turned to her father, a bit hurt by the interruption. “Dad, did you know that the Pratt family went bankrupt because of Mark?”“No, and I don’t want to hear that fake news.” Gilson tossed a thick document onto Katrina’s desk. “I want you to study this.”“What the hell is this?” Katrina grimaced, with no desire to read it.“These are the metrics, along with user comments who signed up for
Chapter 467 There Are Other Ways to Get Revenge
Katrina couldn’t understand how Mark managed to convince Alan Rocha to leave the Pratt family financially ruined.“Armando, something isn’t adding up.” Katrina emptied her cold cappuccino cup. “I know that Mark has Alan Rocha’s backing. Don’t ask me how; he never told us. But to ask that you go bankrupt just because you did a reasonable request...?”Armando frowned. “It wasn’t a reasonable request. It was a stupidity I regret to this day. Mark Ferro is somehow powerful and I wouldn’t have done any of that if I had known beforehand.”“My aunt just wanted the best for her daughter.” Katrina tried to justify the embarrassment.“I heard that now Briana’s parents support the marriage,” Armando countered, seeing how out of touch Katrina was.“Yes, because they always want to be on the winning team. If Mark continued to be the loser janitor, they would insist that Briana divorce him to this day.”“Well, things have changed for Mark, and now I hope things change for me too. Since I couldn’t a
Chapter 466 Katrina and Armando
In the Sweet Aroma café, Katrina was stunned by Armando’s announcement that he would be traveling to Lagoon City with her ex-husband and her cousin’s husband.Armando started laughing, enjoying her shocked expression. “HA, HA, HA... what’s with that face, friend?”“It’s the face of someone who doesn’t understand a thing, but you definitely have my attention to explain,” Katrina retorted, daring to sip her cold cappuccino.Armando pouted. “You don’t want to tell me how you’re doing...”“FINE!” Katrina shouted, hitting a high pitch in the process. “I’m living in the Vasconcelos Mansion and I’ve been suffering like crazy from the divorce. You know my motto.”“And you know my opinion,” Armando replied, swallowing a fried cheese ball.“Why don’t you consider my feelings?” Katrina frowned. “I can’t be divorced while Briana is happy with a hot husband. IT’S NOT FAIR!”“You don’t get to decide that, dear,” Armando said matter-of-factly.“Now tell me why you’re going to Lagoon City with Mark.”
