Threatening

Franquez Office Building
London, UK
11:00 AM

Xavier Franquez was busy with his works. He heard a knock on the door.

" Come in." He said without breaking the gaze from the files.

" Franquez." He looked up at the person.

" Elliott Pallette. What a pleasant surprise!!!" Xavier said sarcastically looking at him with his irritating eyes.

" Well, Franquez, at least I would offer you to have a seat if you were in my office." Elliott said.

" I will never be needing to go to your place, but as you already reached here you can have a seat." Xavier said to him.

" Thank you." He said.

" Start over Elliott. I don't have all the day for you." Xavier said.

" So, you send the documents to police and filed a case on my company?" He asked Xavier.

" Nice guess. Yes I did." Xavier said.

" Why did you betray me, Franquez!!! I trusted you in this." Elliott said.

" Do you even know what is trust?!! And you are saying betraying? I have never betrayed you. It's you who betrayed me. How can you think that I will let you use me against Axton and Knight at the same time!!? You forgot they were my friends. I won't even think about harming my friends. Never ever. You pulled me here in the UK for using me against them, right? Well, Pallette I am not a kid of 3 years. I am handling business since I was 16. I am the oldest player in this game. You can't win over me." Xavier said smirking at him.

" Your this plan can bankrupt me." He said.

" Well, this is what you deserve." Xavier said. " I can understand your moves very well, Pallette. You thought I might be weak or money sucking stupid like you. Can't you see how stupid you were pulling me and making me a partner in your game? Well, your game is now going to make you suffer, Pallette. Enjoy your destruction." Xavier said.

" Did you turn your back to me cause your son is going to get married with that Axton girl?" He asked Xavier.

" If you thought like that then you are absolutely wrong, Pallette. You are very very wrong. You know what!!! You won't change ever. Why bothering to explain you? You don't deserve to have an explanation. I better not waste my time on you. Cause, you will never get the point." Xavier said.

" It's not for your son?" He asked.

" Never ever. Leo wasn't in the game from the first. He will never be in this game." Xavier said.

" Of course, you will keep your dumb son out of this game otherwise you will lose it." He said and laughed.

" Well, if my son was dumb then you would have already used me in this game. I am happy that my son is that dumb to give you back your move. I won't mind having dumb son who can destroy a evil like you. I won't mind him being a dumb until he is smart enough to get you a good lesson." Xavier said smirking at him.

" Your son did it?" He asked.

" Of course. My son is a kind  hearted person doesn't mean he is dumb, Pallette. This is the first and last time I am tolerating this, if next time I heard you saying such things about my son you will see the hell out of me. Don't you dare. You and your son are dumb that you guys tried to use me. I will suggest you shut your mouth it will help you only." Xavier said.

" So, you have already decided to destroy me?" He asked.

" Yes, you need to realize all these you were wrong." Xavier said.

" I was never wrong." He said.

" What have Ryan and Edmund ever done to you that you are up to destroy them?" Xavier asked.

" I don't like them from the start. Their friendship always used to make me jealous." He said.

" They were your friends too. I joined later in college but they always helped you in every way. They used to support you." Xavier said.

" But it made me feel like they are pitying me. I didn't need their pity. They always kept mocking me." He said.

" That is the only reason?" Xavier asked.

" Jealousy was the main reason. Cause they always were inseparable. I didn't like it ever. They always had each other's back." He said.

" Did you realize that you couldn't break their friendship cause they still had each other's back secretly all these years?" Xavier asked.

" I tried to destroy both but couldn't. This time I could do it if you didn't betray me." He said.

" Stop calling it betray. You deserved it and you never have learned the true meaning of friendship. No one can be your friend. Cause you are selfish. You only think about yourself. They were kind to you and trusted you and you did what!!! Used this trust to make them two rivals from best friends. Have you ever imagine how deeply you hurt them both!!! You can't never get a friend. Everyone will always hate you cause you only deserve that." Xavier said.

" You lecture won't make me change my mind. I have already made my mind to destroy Axton and Knight. You have just added yourself in this list betraying me." He said.

" Go ahead. Destroy Ryan, Edmund and me. I want to see how do you do this. I really want to see that." Xavier mocked him.

" Yeah, now you got right move, Franquez. This why you are smirking. Things are going to be changed. Things will not remain same. I will still give you a chance to make your mistake right." He said.

" Really?" Xavier mocked him.

" Yes." He said. " Yes, withdraw the case. I might left you." He said.

" Mistake!!!" Xavier laughed."Really!!! Which mistake, Elliott. I did what you just deserved and I am giving you a chance to not get totally ruined by shutting yourself up." He said.

" Well, Xavier. I got it." Elliott stood up. " I got it that you made your mind to betray me. But before I go I will make myself clear that from now we are also enemies. Prepare yourself to get destroyed. Cause, I am not going to show you any mercy this time. Mark my words." He said and Xavier laughed.

" Gladly." Xavier said and heard a knock on the door the next moment Leo entered the cabin.

" Dad, I got you -" he was holding two coffees. He was shocked seeing Elliott there.

" Remember my words, Franquez." Elliott stood up and left throwing Leo a cold stare. Leo smirked inwardly.

" Why was he here, Dad?" He handed a coffee to his dad and sat on the visitor's chair.

" Threatening me." Xavier said.

" Is that so???" Leo smirked. Xavier nodded with a smirk. They knew what they need to do now.
