The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 390
Thea was shocked speechless.
She could not believe that David had borrowed 800 million dollars from the loan sharks.
Maximus left with his men in tow.
Maximus Leviticus was originally a small-time gang leader.
During this period, the truly powerful and influential men of the underworld in Cansington lived in seclusion and distanced
themselves from worldly affairs.
After the likes of Dawson and Nine Fingers went into hiding, Maximus seized the opportunity and rose to prominence in the
underworld. He was now a loan shark. His gambling dens and businesses in the entertainment districts had been going
swimmingly. He was close to being the new king of the underworld.
An underling of his asked, “Maximus, why didn’t you capture David? We could have forced the Callahans to pay up.”
Maximus snorted maliciously.

“You think it’s gonna be over after they pay up? I’m not letting them off the hook that easily.” “What do you mean?” His underling
stared at him. Wearing a smug look, Maximus said, “I’ve looked into the Callahans’ background. The most powerful of them is
the Black Dragon. His downfall is a pity. He’s no longer 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 Southern Plains spreading on the
internet? This must have been the work of some powerful figures. There’s also news 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 a beautiful 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. He wanted to open the window and
end it all. Thea stopped him in time and reprimanded him, “Will dying solve your problems? Calm down for now.”
“Just let me die! Just let me get it over with.”
Slap!
Thea slapped him across the face. Her slap allowed David to regain some composure. David sat on the sofa 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 you had money on your card. I made a plan with Alyssa to transfer 500 million to
us. I went to the underground 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 head was 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 her knuckles turned white.
“Thea, I know you have enough money. Help me pay back my debt. I don’t want to 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 phone and called her parents.
“Mom, something bad happened. Come back, quick.” She then called Alyssa who 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 an additional 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 hitting David. “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 gonna be a father soon. I don’t
want my child to be fatherless.” She knelt on the floor and appealed to everyone sympathetically. Thea’s face darkened.
They had stolen 500 million from her. Not only that, but now they also wanted her to help them repay more than a billion dollars
worth in loans. No way in hell.
