Chapter 394
The Callahans were up a creek without a paddle. They had to think of a way to resolve the problem. Putting the loans aside, they had to return the 500 million they owe to the Xenos as soon as possible. Thea still had 100 million in her company account she could withdraw. The villa the Black Dragon gave her as a present should be worth around 300 million. They should be able to easily sell it for 300 million even if they sold it below market price. However, they were still 100 million short. Where on earth could she get 100 million dollars? She wandered about aimlessly. Before she knew it, she arrived at the entrance of Majestic Corporation. She wanted to meet the mysterious Mr. Caden. There were rumors that he was in the Southern Plains fighting the twenty-eight-nations martial art gurus at Mt. Thunder Pass and was surrounded by an army of a hundred thousand men. Some said that the Black Dragon made it out alive. Others believed he died on the battlefield. She

If only her husband was not useless… If only James were a powerful and influential man, she would not be going through all these problems in the first place. Unfortunately, her husband was trash. James was just a good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Callahans. James relaxed after making the call. He tossed his phone on the table and asked, “How’s Henry’s condition?” Levi replied, “He’s still stable.” “Good. Watch his condition closely. Let me know immediately if something’s wrong.” “Understood.” “You may leave me now. I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep.” Levi left his commander to his rest. James got on the bed. He was bone-tired. He had used up a lot of his strength after his combat with the 28 fighters at Mt. Thunder Pass. To make things worse, he had to flee from the hundred-thousand-strong army for a whole night. His body was near its limit. Not only that, his operation on Henry took a full day too. He collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep. M

Thea had no other options. The only one who could save her and her family was Zavier. The two waited at a restaurant. Zavier came as quickly as he could. He arrived at the restaurant in just half an hour. He looked handsome and charming. He was wearing a designer suit and a luxury watch. Walking in, he greeted the two women, “Hello, Thea. Hey, Quincy.” Thea stood up immediately, “M-Mr. Watson.” Quincy remained seated. She sat by the side and gave him a small smile. She pointed to an empty seat beside Thea and said, “Have a seat, Zavier.” Thea took her seat. So did Zavier. The two were seated side-by-side. Thea adjusted her position to maintain her distance from Zavier. Zavier glanced at Thea and asked with a charming smile, “By the way, where’s your husband James?” “H-He’s on a business trip.” “Is that so?” Zavier shrugged while still keeping the smile on his face. He knew of James’ identity. Thea’s husband, James, was the owner of Majestic Corporation

Why did he have to steal from her? Why did he have to gamble? Why did he have to borrow so much? If not for David, none of this would have happened. After Zavier left, he immediately went to look for the Xenoses. The Watsons and the Xenoses were all part of the Five Provinces Business Alliance. Although they were from Cansington and North Cansington respectively, they maintained a close relationship. At the Watsons’ villa in Goodview Villa District, Zavier personally welcomed Zack, “Welcome, Mr. Xenos.” “It’s been a while, Zavier.” They hugged each other. At the foyer of the first floor of the villa, Zack grinned, “So what can I do for you today, Mr. Watson?” Zavier decided to get into the heart of the matter. “I heard that the Xenoses gave two billion dollars to Thea. I also heard you’ve taken back 1.5 billion and are owed five hundred million more.” Zack’s face clouded over. All three generations of his family suffered because of James. His father had even k

The Watsons had long planned for this. All these years, they had only conducted legal businesses and had never involved themselves with shady dealings. This was the perfect opportunity. The Watsons wanted a puppet, and Maximus was the perfect candidate. As it would be inappropriate for the rest of the Watsons to show themselves, Zavier was the right man for the job. Zavier waved dismissively, declining to entertain the scantily clad women. He looked at Maximus and said, “I heard that Thea’s brother, David, borrowed eight hundred million dollars from you.” “Yes, Mr. Watson. Do the Callahans have something to do with you?” Zavier waved his hands casually. “No, I’d like you to apply more pressure on them. It’s best if you could kidnap David so that the Callahans are sent into further panic. Feel free to do anything you want. As long as things don’t get out of control, the Watsons will cover for you.” “Understood.” Maximus nodded. Zavier did not leave. He had some kno

Pallet Town was a big city near the border of the Southern Plains. Many reporters gathered in front of the consulate general of Pallet Town. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the consulate general of Pallet Town. News about the developments at the Southern Plains border has been circulating for the past few days. There were also rumors that the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army, the Black Dragon himself, has died on the battlefield after a fierce battle against the hundred-thousand-strong army of the twenty-eight-nations. The generals of the twenty-eight nations were rumored to have been taken captive.” “What’s the truth of the situation? Let’s wait patiently for the general’s arrival…” At that moment, a convoy stopped in front of the consulate general. Levi got off the convoy. Following that, fully-armed soldiers escorting the generals of the twenty-eight-nations appeared. The generals were forced to kneel with a gun pressed against the back of their heads. The

The nation observed ten minutes of silence to honor the Black Dragon, the God of War. After informing the press of the circumstances surrounding the Black Dragon’s death, Levi shooed the reporters away. After all, what he was about to do next was not suitable for television broadcasts. Levi entered the consulate general. Envoys of the twenty-eight-nations were here for the negotiations. After Levi walked in, a few soldiers carried the still unconscious, badly injured Henry in. Levi cut to the chase and spoke in a firm voice, “In accordance with international practices, you’ll have to pay a ransom for every prisoner of war. A million for each common soldier, ten billion for a general, and five billion for a lieutenant, and since you’ve killed our commander-in-chief, we’ll increase the price tenfold. We request that you pay up immediately. Otherwise, they will be executed this instant.” Levi revealed their demands. Enraged, the envoys stood up. “No way.” “Levi, you’re t

The Callahans gathered. “Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court summon is already here, and the trial will begin tomorrow morning. The Xenoses are getting the money back via legal means.” David wore a worried expression. Thea had been out for the whole day. He wondered if she had gotten the money. Thea’s face was pale. Her exquisite face was devoid of emotions. Like an emotionless robot, she sat there without moving. Slam! At that moment, the Callahans’ front door was kicked open. Maximus along with his men stormed into the house. Appalled, the Callahans stood up. Maximus brought his men in and sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, the Callahans stood by the side with horrified expressions. Maximus glanced at them and said with a mischievous grin, “Have you prepared the money?” Thud! David knelt on the floor immediately and pleaded, “Please, give me a few more days! My sister has been trying to get the money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll have the money read
