“You think it’s gonna be over after they pay up? I’m not letting them off the hook that easily.” “What doyou mean?” His underling stared at him. Wearing a smug look, Maximus said, “I’ve looked into theCallahans’ background. The most powerful of them is the Black Dragon. His downfall is a pity. He’s nolonger the general of the Southern Plains. I also hear that many powerful people want him dead.”
Saying that, he paused momentarily. “Aren’t rumors about the Black Dragon appearing in the SouthernPlains spreading on the internet? This must have been the work of some powerful figures. There’s alsonews that the Black Dragon has died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains.”“Without her backer, Thea Callahan is nothing more than a lamb going to the slaughter.” “She’s abeautiful woman. I want her on my bed. I want the Callahans to fall.” “You’ve really thought it all out,boss!” “Ha ha…”
Maximus laughed darkly.
At the Callahans, David was lying on the floor. He was bleeding from the head and groaning in pain.
Thea walked toward him in disbelief and anger. “David, what have you done?!” “Sob…”
David wept.
He was devastated.
At that moment, he had nothing else to live for. He stood up and rushed toward the windows. Hewanted to open the window and end it all. Thea stopped him in time and reprimanded him, “Will dyingsolve your problems? Calm down for now.”

Slap!
Thea slapped him across the face. Her slap allowed David to regain some composure. David sat on thesofa and cried his eyes out. Wearing a solemn expression, Thea asked, “What’s going on?” “I’m sorry,Thea. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have… I regret it so much…” David was inconsolable. “I-I know youhad money on your card. I made a plan with Alyssa to transfer 500 million to us. I went to theunderground casino to try my luck but I was too caught up with everything. I lost all the money. I-I
even… I even borrowed 800 million from the loan sharks.” “I didn’t know what I was doing! My headwas spinning, and I was so sure I’d win it all back.”
David told the whole truth.
“You…”
Hearing this, Thea was so enraged she almost passed out. Panting with rage, she held David as herknuckles turned white. “Thea, I know you have enough money. Help me pay back my debt. I don’t wantto die. Plus, Alyssa’s pregnant. I’ll be a father soon. I don’t want my child to be fatherless.”
David continued to cry uncontrollably.
Things had snowballed rapidly and were now crashing down.
He lost 500 million and borrowed an additional 800 million. The interest rate was exorbitantly high.
Thea was at a loss for what to do. After sitting in stunned silence for a while, she pulled out her phoneand called her parents. “Mom, something bad happened. Come back, quick.” She then called Alyssawho had returned to the Myers household. “Alyssa, come back right now.”
Soon, the whole family was gathered. After learning that David had stolen 500 million and borrowed anadditional 800 million from loan sharks, Gladys was so exasperated that she started to feel woozy.Benjamin hurriedly wiped her face with a cool cloth and gently stroked her back.
Gladys gradually felt her faculties return to her.
The moment she was able to think properly again, she grabbed a broom and began furiously hittingDavid. “You useless ingrate! Why did you gamble? I’m going to teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”“Stop hitting me, mom… Please…” Alyssa pleaded with her family.
“Thea has 1.5 million left on her card. Ask her to pay back the debt. I’m pregnant, and David’s gonnabe a father soon. I don’t want my child to be fatherless.” She knelt on the floor and appealed toeveryone sympathetically. Thea’s face darkened.
They had stolen 500 million from her. Not only that, but now they also wanted her to help them repaymore than a billion dollars worth in loans. No way in hell.
