Chapter 836 Heavy Burdens Francos sudden coughing startled Serena , who had been crying moments earlier .

He had been silent for years .

She couldnt help but wonder why Eliam was coughing now .

After the initial shock subsided , Serena shook her head bitterly .

She felt that the state Eliam and his son were in was worse than death it was a living hell .

If not for her sisters dying wish , Serena wouldnt have bothered to help them every day .

In her eyes , this household was no different from a graveyard .

Finished But every time she thought about walking away , memories of Eliams kindness when he first arrived held her back .

He had helped her family so much back then and abandoning him now felt too cruel .

Even so , she couldnt deny the thought crossed her mind often life like this was unbearable .

Why did good hearted people always have to carry such heavy burdens ? She could only grit her teeth and endure , waiting for the day when life itself would finally end her suffering .

In this cruel world ruled by the strong and heartless , ordinary people had no choice but to live humbly , swallowing their pride just to survive .

Either you became a hero , or you became a sacrifice .

To survive , one had to harden their heart , play the game , and keep going until the end .

Serena sat on the ground , lost in her despair .

When she looked back at Francos freshly shaven face , now streaked with black blood , she froze in confusion and fear .

She instinctively crawled Robin .

What did you do to him ? Francos body trembled violently , still unable to speak .

Ferell stepped between them .

Do not disturb the General ! General ? … Serena thought she must have misheard him .

But before she could dwell on it , the sight before her nearly made her faint .

From Francos mouth , nose , ears , and eyes , countless black worms began crawling out .

These worms squirmed in every direction , as if frantically searching for something .

But as soon as they touched sunlight or felt the breeze , they shriveled and died .

Both Benjamin and Ferell were left dumbstruck .

Chapter 836 Heavy Burdens What on earth was happening ? How could a mans body and head harbor so many worms ? Serena collapsed onto the ground , her eyes wide with terror .

The horrifying scene continued for a full fifteen minutes .

Hundreds , maybe thousands , of black worms crawled out of Francos body and perished .

As the last of them emerged , Francos swollen body began to thin out , returning to a frail state .

Benjamin watched Francos transformation , his lips twitching involuntarily .

871 % Finished Though he had long grown numb to the tragedies and cruelties of life , Francos condition struck a chord .

For someone to endure such unimaginable suffering for so long , what kind of inner strength must they possess ? Robin placed a ginseng elixir into Francos mouth .

Moments later , a faint light returned to Francos eyes .

His breathing steadied , and his gaze fixed on Robin .

His lips trembled , but no words came out .

Robin nodded gently .

Your body is too weak right now .

Dont try to speak .

Francos eyes grew brighter , his breathing stronger .

As he studied Robins face , his expression shifted , and suddenly , he froze .

His lips quivered violently as he gasped , Young Lord Dragon ?! Robins throat tightened , and he felt a lump form as emotion welled up .

He understood Francos shock at the moment .

Benjamin quickly crouched down , gripping Francos hand tightly .

General Whalen , its me , Benjamin ! Franco turned his head to look at Benjamin , his eyes flashing with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief .

His gaze then shifted to Ferell standing behind Benjamin , and the initial glimmer of joy in his expression gradually turned into confusion .

Robin placed another ginseng elixir into Francos mouth .

Francos breathing became more stable , and his energy seemed to improve slightly .

He looked at Benjamin , his lips trembling as he murmured , Mr.

Shorts ? … Benjamins eyes welled up , and he nodded solemnly .

Francos expression softened considerably .

He shifted his gaze back to Robin , only to confirm that this young man was not the Young Lord Dragon he had initially thought .

Young man , who are you ? Why did you save me ? Benjamin stepped in to explain , General Whalen , this is the youngest son of the Young Lord Dragon from the Dragon Manor massacre twenty years ago ! 2/4 Chapter 836 Heavy Burdens Finished Franco froze , his eyes wide as he scrutinized Robin in shock .

It wasnt until his gaze landed on the dragon- shaped jade pendant hanging around Robins neck that he exhaled in relief .

Master Ramsey … Franco struggled to get up and salute , but Robin quickly held him down by the arm .

General Whalen , your body is too weak right now .

Formalities arent necessary .

Robins tone turned serious .

I need to ask what was your purpose in going into hiding here after the events of twenty years ago ? Francos body quivered , and his eyes filled with a deep sorrow .

Twenty years … Its already been twenty years ? Benjamin sighed deeply .

Yes , General Whalen .

Its been two decades .

Francos gaze lingered on Benjamin as he noticed the stark changes in his old comrade .

Benjamins once dark hair had turned completely white .

Back then , Franco was only thirty , and Benjamin , the Deputy Dean of the Inspectorate , had barely been in his early fifties .

Now , they were both shadows of their former selves .

Francos cracked lips trembled .

Master Ramsey , under the Young Lord Dragons orders , Ive been waiting here with the hundred Golden Dragon Guards from Dragon Palace .

But theres been no word at all in these twenty years .

Where is the Young Lord Dragon now ? Benjamin shook his head solemnly .

Theres still no news of either the Dragon Lord or the Young Lord Dragon .

The light in Francos eyes dimmed instantly .

I understand .

Please , say no more for now , Robin interrupted , noticing Francos weakened state .

Glancing around the dilapidated room , he added , This place is unsuitable .

Lets move somewhere else and talk .

Franco hesitated , his gaze lingering on the room .

Robin caught the meaning in his eyes .

Is there someone else in the room ? Yes ! Agustin is still inside , a woman said , stepping forward .

Her earlier wariness had faded after seeing Francos condition improve .

Trembling with emotion , she approached Franco .

Eliam , you can talk now ? Franco nodded slightly , his eyes turning to the room .

Serena , is Agustin still alive ? Serena began to cry .

Eliam , Agustins wife and son were killed by Zyon and his men .

Agustin himself was left crippled and has been bedridden for the past six months … Hearing this , Francos eyes flared with a sudden , murderous intensity .

However , the rage subsided quickly , replaced by a deep weariness .

Robins thoughts turned to what Serena had mentioned earlier about Zyon .

This Zyon had killed Francos daughter in law , Ashlee Beaufort , and grandson , Murphy Whalen , and left his son , Agustin , in a dire state ? General Whalen , who is this Zyon ? Before Franco could respond , Serena , her face filled with hatred , spat out , Zyon is the tyrant of Mistveil Manor ! Six months ago , Agustins son Murphy was beaten to death by Zyons men .

He was only two years old .
