“Begging for mercy again. You’re in such a weak state!” Two hours later, Flynn rolled out of bed and went to find new sheets.
Scarlet Wong grabbed a pillow and threw it at Flynn, grumbling, “You try being dehydrated and see how weak you feel! You tore my new stockings!”
“Get up. I need to change the bedding.” Flynn looked at the torn stockings on the edge of the bed, grinned, and returned with a new set of sheets.
Pouting, Scarlet Wong extended her arms and said in a pitiful voice, “I’m so tired. I don’t want to move. My whole body feels like it’s falling apart.”
“Pick me up.”
Looking at the coquettish Scarlet Wong, Flynn sighed helplessly and put down the sheets to lend a hand.
Just then, Flynn’s phone rang.
“Uncle Matteo?” Flynn frowned. It was already midnight. What could be so urgent?
Scarlet Wong also became tense and moved from the bed to stand by Flynn.
Flynn quickly answered the call. Before he could speak, Matteo Kaur’s voice came through.
“Flynn, I’m sorry for disturbing you so late.”
“Uncle Matteo, it’s no trouble at all. You can call me anytime.”
There was a sigh on the other end of the line, and after hesitating for a long time, Matteo finally spoke.
“Flynn, can you lend me two hundred million? I have no other choice. Frederick Powell’s two-hundred-million debt is due tomorrow, and the Kaur family has no money…”
Matteo Kaur’s voice carried a sense of age and helplessness, along with embarrassment.
Flynn and Scarlet Wong exchanged glances, their expressions serious.
They both knew about the Kaur family owing two hundred million to Frederick Powell. Madeline Kaur had mentioned more than once that if Dragon Gate Group won this business war, Layla Woods would help pay off the two-hundred-million debt on behalf of Braiden Swanson.
Although they didn’t know why Layla Woods made such a promise, she had indeed made it.
Now that Dragon Gate Group was on the verge of collapse, that promise had obviously become an illusion.
The debt would be enough to crush the Kaur’s Group, and the Kaur family would become a laughingstock.
The Kaur family would be mocked by everyone for abandoning their once-son-in-law who was about to become a billionaire.
How irony!
It could be imagined that after tomorrow, the Kaur family would become the subject of ridicule in Niarak.
Even worse than fools.
Madeline Kaur must be feeling extremely anxious right now.
“Flynn… it’s… it’s my fault for what happened to you. But for the sake of my father… please help me.” Madeline Kaur’s voice came through with a choked sob, filled with endless regret.
And it could be imagined tears were streaming down her blushing face.
She must be biting her lip so hard that it might bleed at this moment.
She used to be so arrogant and looked down on Flynn. Now she had to lower herself to beg…
Paulina Johnston’s voice also came through, softer than ever before without any hostility or disgust.
“Flynn… it was my fault that I forced Madeline into divorce. All the blame is on me.”
“The Kaur family is really in dire straits now. If we can’t pay back two hundred million, we’ll have to beg for food.”
“Please lend two hundred million to the Kaur family. We will do anything to repay you.”
After she finished speaking, voices from Frank Kaur, Max Kaur, and others came through as well.
“Mr. Clark, the Kaur family is finished. Please help us. We are truly desperate!”
“Yes, Mr. Clark. We were wrong. Your Uncle Matteo is also part of the Kaur family. Do you want to watch him die with the Kaur family?”
“We were wrong. We really were wrong. If kneeling down isn’t enough, we can slap ourselves in the face!”
Sounds of slapping faces and falling to their knees came through over the phone.
Mixed with pleading voices from the Kaur family members, it sounded very chaotic.
“What should we do?” Scarlet Wong looked at Flynn and whispered softly.
The Kaur family had indeed gone too far in the past. Even when Flynn killed Jack Jenkins, Madeline Kaur still believed the Kaur family could pay off the two-hundred-million debt.
Now, Madeline Kaur truly panicked.
No matter what, Madeline Kaur was Matteo Kaur’s daughter! He couldn’t just stand by and watch them perish.
Flynn remained calm and spoke slowly, “Uncle Matteo, as long as it brings you happiness, I will do it.”
“I’ll take care of this matter for you.”
Matteo Kaur helped his mother and him when they were in their most dangerous situation. This favor was greater than anything else. If he asked for his help now, Flynn couldn’t refuse.
This was also what his mother wrote in her letter of instruction.
After hanging up the phone, Flynn immediately called Rose Sharp.
It took more than ten rings before she picked up.
“Mmm…” A lazy and sleepy voice came through. Apparently, she was awakened by the ringing phone.
Flynn smiled and said, “Ms. Sharp, why are you going to bed so early? It’s not even midnight yet.”
“Cut the crap. What’s up? Hurry up and tell me. I’m sleepy.”
“Lend me two hundred million!”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Rose Sharp responded with surprise in her voice, “How rare! Mr. Clark is actually short of money!”
“Well… something happened with the Kaur family…”
“Alright! I’ll wire the money into your account right away!” Rose Sharp cut him off decisively. “Money is something the Sharp’s Group never lacks!”
“You can ask for however much you need!”
Flynn felt warmth in his heart.
Rose Sharp had said before that once everything settled down, even if Flynn fought against heaven itself, she would stand by his side.
It seemed she hadn’t broken her promise.
“No need to rush. You can do it tomorrow morning! Just keep sleeping.” Flynn hung up the phone.
While Scarlet Wong was laying out a mattress on the floor, she said, “With the Dragon Gate Group’s alliances crumbling apart like this… Ms. Sharp can finally get a good night’s sleep.”
“What are your plans now? Are you going to seek revenge against the Clark family?”
“But after more than twenty years of development, the Clark family is no longer what they used to be.”
“They have deep connections in military, politics, and business. They even produced two key figures in the military.”
“Two key figures in the military?” Flynn handed Scarlet Wong a glass of water and sneered. “You mean Mike Clark and Ignatius Clark’s father?”
“Yes! Moreover, the Clark family’s enterprises are scattered throughout Slatin, and they also have holdings in several states in the Sunhaven Coast.”
“They are involved in fields such as medical technology, real estate, and manufacturing…”
“Tessa Watson’s birthday is still half a month away. It would be difficult for you to bring down the Clark family within such a short time.”
“Besides, the Wallace family’s influence should not be underestimated. I’ve heard that Dario Bragg is so powerful it’s almost monstrous. Days won’t be peaceful.”
Flynn handed a glass of water to Scarlet Wong and teased, “Are you scared?”
“Not at all! I’m just concerned about you!” Scarlet Wong took a sip of water and slowly lay back on the bed.
She wasn’t as terrified as she had been when Flynn killed Jack Jenkins, but Dario Bragg was a different story. He killed four Greater Sovereigns and slaughtered thousands in foreign lands.
When he truly got angry, he could leave a trail of corpses for miles.
It was hard not to worry about that.
Flynn lay beside Scarlet Wong, wrapping his arms around her to comfort her. “Don’t worry. I have the confidence to take down the strongest family in this world or even Asher Pearce, who’s at the top of the Dragon Ranking, with ease! I don’t give a damn about the Clark family or Dario Bragg.”
Nestled in his embrace, Scarlet Wong curled up closer and let out a soft hum.
She knew Flynn was saying this to reassure her, but since she had chosen to stand by him, it was only natural to trust him.
Five minutes later, she dozed off, her head resting on Flynn’s arm, like a kitten.
As Flynn gently pulled his arm away to grab a drink of water, his phone rang.
It was a call from the Raven King.
“Master, I’ve found out the whereabouts of your mother’s master.”
