The Almighty Dragon General Novel

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, Whats wrong with you? Youve not been yourself these past two days.

I-Its 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 didnt 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 dont know anything about this.

David replied inattentively.

Fine then.

His disinterested attitude stopped Thea from asking more.

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 Theas call.

Yes, Thea? Despite her slight irritation at the early call, Quincy answered her best friends 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 Chapje: 389 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.

Im really busy at work lately.

Ive been working overtime until midnight every single day.

When I reach home, I just collapse on the bed.

I dont have time to contact him.

Anyway, Im still busy at the moment, so Im hanging up now.

Ill 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.

Its 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 dont 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 mans foot on him, She was furious.

Who are you?! What do you think youre doing?! Did you guys break in?! Everyones head turned in the direction of Theas 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.

Todays the third day, so he now owes me 1.4 billion in total.

Ill give you another day to gather the money, and Ill come and collect the next day.

Therell be repercussions if you dont pay up tomorrow.

Maximus and his men withdrew after leaving that threat.

Meanwhile, Thea was petrified.
