The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401

The Callahans gathered.

“Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court’s 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 unmoving.

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, “You’ve 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 money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll get the money soon.”

Thea wore a blank expression. She was utterly disappointed in her family.

“Take him.”

Maximus ordered his men.

His men approached David and forcibly grabbed him.

“Mom, Thea, dad… Save me…”

Thea went to court the next day. She did not get herself a lawyer as she knew she had no chance of winning.

As expected, she lost the case.

To get back the money, the court froze all of her assets and even prepared to auction away the villa James had given her. They also ordered her to gather the money owed as soon as possible.

The money was not the main problem. She would be able to get it bit by bit.

The real problem was Maximus.

Maximus was a vicious and cold-blooded man. If she could not pay on time, David would be dead.

Dismayed, Thea walked out of the courtroom. Though the sun was bright, she felt her life was bleak. ‘D-Do I really need Zavier’s help to get through this?’ She was unwilling to succumb to her fate. She pulled out her phone and called James. “Hey, honey. What’s wrong?” Hearing his voice, Thea covered her mouth and tried her best not to sob. This would not have happened if her husband was a rich and influential man. What a shame that he was a good-for-nothing man. “I-It’s nothing.” She hung up the call.

James was lying on the bed in a military base in the Southern Plains.

Scratching his nose, he murmured, “Huh… How weird.”
