Chapter 370

Eight hundred million dollars with a two hundred million interest charged daily.

How was he going to pay it back? David was in despair, and his body felt numb. Everything around him was going dark and the thought to just end it all and leave this behind flashed through his mind more than once.

“David, you should go back to ask for money. That guy is Maximus. He's known for being extremely ruthless. If you don't get him his money, not only you but all the Callahans will be finished,” the sexy woman said in an encouraging tone.

The woman worked for the underground casino, and her name was Lulu. She was responsible for entertaining the high rollers that visited the casino. Hearing this, David shivered. He stood up and wanted to leave. However, he could not muster up the strength in his body to take a step forward. He had no idea how he got home.

At home, he lay down in bed and did not want to move or eat dinner. He opened the window several times and tried to jump out. He found that his courage failed him every time he tried to put it into action.

After dinner.

Thea's room.

Thea was talking to James about the company.

She told him the company’s equipment had been moved and that she would find a new place to build a factory after the medical conference. She still had some money that would be enough for them to rebuild the company.

“Alright.”

James did not say anything. The Oceanics Commerce's target was him, but Thea had to bear the consequences of being associated with him.

He internally took this as a personal attack against him. In the future, the Great Four’s Oceanic Commerce would rue the day they chose to mess with him and his family.

In the other room.

David wanted to come clean about what he did to his family, but he did not have the courage to face them.

Not only did he steal five hundred million from Thea, but he also borrowed another eight hundred dollars from a loan shark and lost it all

He could not possibly tell them. The night silently passed. The next day

Before dawn.

James was still asleep when a call interrupted his sleep.

In confusion, he touched the phone by the bedside and declined the call. Soon, the phone rang again.

James opened his eyes, rolled off the bed, and got up. He picked up hone placed on the bedside table and found that it was a call from a city in the Southern Plains. He quickly pressed the answer button.

“Black Dragon, if you want to save the Black Shadow, come to the Southern Plains before dark. If not, all you'll be getting back is his lifeless corpse...” A monotonous voice spoke through the phone. James immediately lost all trace of his drowsiness.

"Who are you?”

Beep... Beep... Beep... The other party had hung up. James quickly called Henry.

“Sorry, the phone number you've dialed is currently unavailable.” Henry's phone was switched off and could not be contacted.

James immediately sensed that something had happened to Henry. However, the Southern Plains was his base camp. The Black Dragon army of millions of soldiers was there. Henry was his confidant and had the right to mobilize the army. How could something happen to Henry on his territory?

Thea rolled over and got up groggily. She glanced at James, who was sitting with a terrifying expression at the edge of the bed. The grim expression on James’ face dissipated. He turned around and said with a smile, “It's nothing. I got a call from the company. They need me to go on a business trip today. I'm afraid I'll have to go abroad for a while, Darling.”

"Okay."

Thea accepted his explanation easily.

"All the best. Do you have enough money? I'll transfer some money to you. You'll need money for food, lodging, and transportation abroad.”

“I'm not there on vacation. I'll be there for business, and the company will reimburse me,” James smiled calmly.

“You better not mess around abroad and come back with some weird disease,” Thea warned him. "Of course, I won't!” James retorted awkwardly.

He got up, walked toward the closet, and opened it up. James searched for a long time but could not find the thing he had kept in the closet. He turned around and asked, “Darling, have you seen my wire made of silver needles in the closet?”

Thea had already gotten up from bed.

She was puzzled for a moment but suddenly remembered something. She pointed to the balcony and said, “The wire seemed really strong, so I thought Id use it to hang out laundry. It's out on the balcony.”
