The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 391 This money was supposed to be used as capital for her companys recovery.

Thats right, she received this money from someone else.

It never actually belonged to her in the first place.

Youre not just going to sit back and watch your family get extorted by loan sharks, right? David blurted desperately.

If the loan sharks dont end up killing you, I will! Infuriated at her sons shamelessness, Gladys continued hitting David with the broom.

Thea, please.

Im your only brother.

Please, Thea… Save Davie.

Hes learned his lesson! He wont repeat this mistake ever again.

The couple knelt at Theas feet and continued to plead.

After giving David a beating, Gladys looked at Thea.

Thea, you have money on your card, dont you? Why dont you help them pay off the debt? You can earn back the money eventually, but if you lose your brother, hell be gone forever.

Mom Thea was put on the spot.

This was not just a paltry sum.

It was over a billion dollars they were talking about here! Mom, the loans arent legitimate anyway.

How about we contact the police? D-Dont! David crawled toward Thea and prostrated himself in front of her, Maximus has men all over the place.

If you call the police, he will take action.

Our family will be done for! …but 800 million of debt with a 600 million dollar interest is just too much! Thea was not willing to pay off their debt.

Besides, it was Davids fault anyway.

Why did she have to be the one who paid for his mistakes? Call the police.

Theres no way they can go against the police, it doesnt matter how influential they are.

Thea was steadfast in her resolve.

David knew what Maximus was capable of.

Maximus was a powerful man.

Calling the police would not solve anything.

If they called the police, the only ones to suffer would be the Callahans.

I beg you, Thea.

Dont call the police… Thea ignored him.

This matter was out of her hands.

She pulled out her phone and called.

Dismayed, David murmured, Its over.

Were done for.

Gladys said nothing.

She wholly believed that calling the police was a great idea.

Meanwhile, Benjamin, who was oblivious to everything, sat by the side and smoked his cigarette.

Soon, the police came.

After asking a few questions, they told Thea and the others theyd see to the matter.

Then, they left after trying to reassure them with half-hearted platitudes.

At the same time… Maximus was at a clubhouse with a chief from the police force.

Jackie Cohen… I promise that youll receive some benefits after this is over.

Jackie lightly waved him off and said, Maximus, try not to let things get out of control.

Cansingtons still under the jurisdiction of the Blithe King, after all.

Its going to be fine.

Maximus bragged with a smirk on his face.

Ive found out that Theas backer, the Black Dragon, made enemies out of many powerful people.

Theyre all chomping at the bit to kill him.

They wont bat an eye if anything happens to the Callahans.

He was not only a shrewd man but astute as well.

With these traits, Maximus was able to seize the opportunity and rise at the perfect time.

Otherwise, he would bit have waited for the bigwigs to go into hiding before he rose as the new king of the Cansingtons underworld.

At the Callahans, the whole family gathered.

David talked listlessly, I told you it wont work.

The police left after a few simple questions.

Maximus should have been notified by now.

In time, he will retaliate against our action.

Hearing this, Gladys was gripped with fear.

She pulled at Theas sleeve, Thea, these people are vicious and cold blooded.

We shouldnt get involved with them.

Since you have money on your card, why dont you just pay them off? Thatll settle all their problems.

David chimed in, Thats right.

Im begging you, please.

We still have time.

Just withdraw the money!.

Thea stood up and told them off, David, you were the one who caused this.

Why do I have to clean up your mess? Mom David once again burst into tears.

He headed for the window and prepared to jump again.

Its all my fault.

I should just die.

Alyssa pulled him back in time.

Though Gladys knew it was Davids fault, he was her only son.

Since the damage had been done, there was no use crying over spilled milk.

She stood up and reprimanded Thea, Someone else gave you the money in the first place.

Why cant you just use it to save your brother? Hes your only brother! Are you really willing to watch him jump off the 8th floor? I… Would it take me throwing myself over the balcony too to make you fork out the money? After she said that, Gladys also made her way to the window.

Benjamin intercepted her.

He turned and looked over at Thea, Thea, we cant offend these powerful people.

Just pay up and itll all be dver.

Everyone in Theas family was pressuring her to deal with this problem.

1 Thea cried out in exasperation, Fine! Fine! Ill pay.
