The phone chimed with a notification. Spencer quickly opened the message and played the audio clip out of curiosity. A phone recording started playing.
"Rupert, you bastard! You changed your number!" The other person was clearly furious, shouting directly, "Do you think just because you returned to Arkpool City, those debts are forgotten? Let me tell you! No way!"
"Why aren't you hanging up? Rupert, aren't you capable?!" The same voice continued.
"Brother, don't be like this..." Rupert's voice sounded panicked and appeasing, "I haven't forgotten the money I owe you. How about this, I'll transfer $300, 000 first. Send me your card number, and I'll go to the bank right away."
"Rupert, you'd better not play games with me! You have money but still make me chase you!" The other person completely lost patience. "I can find your new number; I can also find all your parents' information. They are teachers; I have their photos and addresses!"
Each sentence made Spencer's heart race, and he didn't dare make a sound.
The phone chimed again. Ivan's thin lips parted slightly, "Listen to this one too."
Spencer quickly opened another clip. It was another debt-collection recording. Rupert was threatened again and transferred another $200, 000... but it was just a small part to temporarily appease the other party.
"He still has some money," Spencer said in confusion.
Ivan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "He transferred it from his father's account this morning. I guess it was for a house payment."
Spencer's expression cracked slightly, "Damn, is this even human?"
Ivan was already used to such things. "Spencer, no matter what you do, I won't blame you-at most, I'll criticize and educate you. But if you get involved in gambling, that's unforgivable."
"Brother, I haven't..."
