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 fighters 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 was not sure who to believe or what to trust.
She was at her wit’s end.
After hesitating for a while, She walked into Majestic Corporation.
She sat on the sofa in the reception room.
Serena brought a towel and dried Thea’s hair. Newton asked, “What’s wrong, Ms. Thea?” “I-Is James
here? I’m looking for him.” Thea looked at Newton and asked. Newton replied, “The chairman isn’t here
at the moment. You can go ahead and speak to me. I’ll relay your message to him.”
“…”
Thea opened and shut her mouth like a fish gasping for air. She wanted to borrow money but could not
bring herself to ask for it. She was not asking for a small sum but an astronomical figure. She had also
heard that the Great Four had formed Oceanic Commerce in opposition to Majestic Corporation. As
things stood, it was in a lot of trouble itself. “I-It’s nothing.”
She stood up and limply made her way out.
Newton watched her leave dejectedly. Only after she left did Newton pull out his phone and called
James.
James was resting after operating on Henry.
Levi had bought him a new phone with his old SIM card in it. James had only just fallen asleep when
Levi approached him and woke him up, “General, there’s a call for you. It’s been ringing for some time
and seems urgent.” James rolled over and got up, “Give it to me.”
Levi handed him the phone. After seeing it was Newton who called, James answered the phone and
asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Quinn? Did something happen in Cansington?”
“It’s nothing much, James. Thea was just here at Majestic Corporation looking for you. She was soaked
all over. I think something’s happened but she refused to tell me anything when I asked.”
“Alright, got it.” James hung up the phone. He looked at the time. It was only eleven in the morning. He
grabbed a cigarette on the table and lit it.
Then, he called Thea.
Thea was wandering about on the streets. She had no idea where she was nor what she was going to
do next. The phone rang. She pulled out her phone and saw it was James. She answered the call.
“What’s wrong, honey?” James replied, “I’ve been busy for the past few days and didn’t have time to
contact you. Now that I’m free, I finally have time to ask how you are. Is everything alright at home?”
“N-Nothing. Everything’s fine as usual.”
Thea held her tongue. She knew James would not be able to help her out.
James had given her all his money. What she needed was more than what he could possibly give her.
“Honey, tell me if anything is going on. There’s nothing I can’t fix. I’m almost done here and will be back
in around ten days.” “Alright, all the best. Everything’s fine here, so no need to worry.”
Thea hung up the call.
Then, she wept.
She crouched down and cried her eyes out.
