The Almighty Dragon General
Chapter 389

Chapter 389

“Huh?”

David, who was sitting on the sofa spacing out, jumped up in surprise. His body was tense, and his forehead gleamed with sweat.

Thea had wanted to ask him about the rumors on the internet.

Seeing his weird reaction, she frowned and asked, “What's wrong with you? You've not been yourself these past two days.”

“I-It's nothing.”

David hurriedly sat back down.

He was not able to muster the courage to speak even after two days had passed.

He was reluctant to tell Thea the fact that he had transferred five hundred million from her bank account, or about how he also borrowed eight hundred million worth in loans from loan sharks.

No one had come knocking on the door for the past two days. He thought he had gotten away with it.

Thea didn't suspect a thing at all.

She stood and sat beside David. She then asked him, “Rumors about the Black Dragon are going viral on the Internet. They said that he went to the Southern Plains and fought twenty eight professional fighters skilled in martial arts. Mt. Thunder Pass was apparently littered with bodies. Are the rumors true?”

“I-I don’t know anything about this.”

David replied inattentively. “Fine then.”

His disinterested attitude stopped Thea from asking more. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She stood up and left the house. Outside, she attempted to dial the number of the mysterious Mr. Caden, a.k.a. the Black Dragon. “Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable.” The call was not able to get through. She ruminated for a while and called Quincy.

It was eight in the morning, and Quincy had just arrived at her office. She answered Thea's call. "Yes, Thea?"

Despite her slight irritation at the early call, Quincy answered her best friend's call in a friendly tone. “Quincy, are the rumors on the internet true? Did the Black Dragon really go to the Southern Plains? Did he have a fierce battle at Mt. Thunder Pass and was he under attack by a massive army?” Quincy had heard of these rumors yesterday.

However, she did not have any inside information.

"How would I know?”

Thea continued to ask, “By the way, have you seen James over the past two days? I tried calling him, but his phone was off. None of my calls got through.”

Quincy replied, "How would I have the time to see him? That good-for-nothing should have forgotten all about me. I'm really busy at work lately. I've been working overtime until midnight every single day. When I reach home, I just collapse on the bed. I don't have time to contact him. Anyway, I'm still busy at the moment, so I'm hanging up now. I'll call you later at lunchtime.”

The busy Quincy ended the call almost immediately.

Thea called a taxi and headed to Majestic Corporation.

She wanted to see James.

However, Newton told her James was not around.

Meanwhile, back at the Callahans' residence...

A gang of thugs had smashed through the front door. David was bleeding from the head. He collapsed on the floor and cried out in pain. A middle-aged obese man sat on the sofa. Wearing a black vest and a golden necklace, he smoked his cigar. “It's the third day, David. Your interest is now 600 million. Add that to the original amount, and you owe me 1.4 billion. When am I getting my money back?” The middle-aged obese man had a nasty look. David groaned in pain on the floor. He begged repeatedly. “P-Please, Maximus. Have mercy on me. I don't have money.”

“What?!”

Maximus was enraged. He stood up and stomped on David with his foot. “Why did you gamble then? What were you doing borrowing from us?” David was in excruciating pain.

Thea went to Majestic Corporation but did not manage to see James. Disappointed, she returned home. Before she even entered the house, she heard someone wailing in pain inside.

She hurriedly made her way inside.

She saw a bunch of strangers in her house. Not only that, her brother was lying on the floor with a man's foot on him,

She was furious.

"Who are you?! What do you think you're doing?! Did you guys break in?!"

Everyone's head turned in the direction of Thea's voice.

Maximus looked at Thea, scanning her from head to toe. He had heard so much about Thea, the most beautiful woman in Cansington. Now that he had seen her in person, she was even more gorgeous and alluring than the rumors said

Back then, when she had the protection of the Black Dragon, no one dared offend her. Now that the Black Dragon had met his downfall, she had lost her protector.

Maximus looked at Thea and gave her a thin smile, “Thea Callahan, your brother borrowed 800 million from me. The interest is 200 million per day. Today's the third day, so he now owes me 1.4 billion in total. I'll give you another day to gather the money, and I'll come and collect the next day. There'll be repercussions if you don't pay up tomorrow.”

Maximus and his men withdrew after leaving that threat.

Meanwhile, Thea was petrified.

“8-800 million?”

“A total of 1.4 billion with interest!?”
