Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 389

“Huh?”

David, who was sitting on the sofa spacing out, jumped up in surprise. His body was tense, and his forehead gleamed with sweat.

Thea had wanted to ask him about the rumors on the internet.

Seeing his weird reaction, she frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you? You’ve not been yourself these past two days.”

“I-It’s nothing.”

David hurriedly sat back down.

He was not able to muster the courage to speak even after two days had passed.

He was reluctant to tell Thea the fact that he had transferred five hundred million from her bank account, or about how he also borrowed eight hundred million worth in loans from loan sharks.

No one had come knocking on the door for the past two days. He thought he had gotten away with it.

Thea didn’t suspect a thing at all.

She stood and sat beside David. She then asked him, “Rumors about the Black Dragon are going viral on the Internet. They said that he went to the Southern Plains and fought twenty-eight professional fighters skilled in martial arts. Mt. Thunder Pass was apparently littered with bodies. Are the rumors true?”

“I-I don’t know anything about this.”

David replied inattentively.

“Fine then.”

His disinterested attitude stopped Thea from asking more.

She stood up and left the house.

Outside, she attempted to dial the number of the mysterious Mr. Caden, a.k.a. the Black Dragon.

“Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable.”

The call was not able to get through.

She ruminated for a while and called Quincy.

It was eight in the morning, and Quincy had just arrived at her office. She answered Thea’s call.

“Yes, Thea?”

Despite her slight irritation at the early call, Quincy answered her best friend’s call in a friendly tone.

“Quincy, are the rumors on the internet true? Did the Black Dragon really go to the Southern Plains? Did he have a fierce battle at Mt. Thunder Pass and was he under attack by a massive army?”

Quincy had heard of these rumors yesterday.

However, she did not have any inside information.

“How would I know?”

Thea continued to ask, “By the way, have you seen James over the past two days? I tried calling him, but his phone was off. None of my calls got through.”

Quincy replied, “How would I have the time to see him? That good-for-nothing should have forgotten all about me. I’m really busy at work lately. I’ve been working overtime until midnight every single day. When I reach home, I just collapse on the bed. I don’t have time to contact him. Anyway, I’m still busy at the moment, so I’m hanging up now. I’ll call you later at lunchtime.”

The busy Quincy ended the call almost immediately.
