SWNOVELS Chapter 123
Chapter 123 This Was Retribution
“Is there such a thing?”
There was cold in Lucian’s eyes, and he said, “Uncle, if you have time to sort out the debt contract and the list of debts, I will help you to collect the money. It is only right and proper to pay back the debts. It is not right if they don’t pay you back simply because my father died.”
“Forget it, those who borrowed money were a bunch of local snakes, and none of them were good!”
Simon shook his head lightly, “When I went to ask for debts, I was beaten. Now you have many enemies already, and you can’t afford to have more enemies. Let this matter go for now.”
“Uncle, just listen to me, I have a way,”
“Tomorrow, I’ll come over to get the list and the arrears contract, so get ready.”
Lucian did not give Simon a chance to refuse. After saying these words, Lucian turned and left.
Simon wanted to say something else, but seeing that Lucian had already left, he could only sigh and shake his head, then turned and returned to the room.
It was past nine o’clock in the evening.
The Bowman family had dinner at home, but Dennis was missing. They called him and he said he was going to meet friends, and so the rest of them did not mind him much.
The Bowman family was in a very good mood. After all, they got 30 million dollars, it would be weird if they were not happy.
However, the three members of Simon’s family were happy at all, they sat on the side with sullen heads, feeling very sorry for Lucian.
“As for the money, we have to make good use of it to start a small business and manage our finances. It should be enough for our Bowman family to spend.”
Susan said her opinion, which was agreed by many people. They all nodded their heads one after another.
Gabriel glanced at Simon, and said calmly, “Don’t blame father for being ruthless, if he did not say that just now, Lucian would definitely not leave the money to us, I will give you five million, so that you can buy Dennis a house, and for him to get married.”
“Dad, Lucian was not that kind of person. He came to ask for money to protect us.”
Simon explained earnestly, “You know, this money is…

“Shut up!” Gabriel yelled angrily, “Who is he to protect us? With this 30 million dollars, we can live a good life, eat and drink without worrying about any danger, don’t listen to him. He was talking nonsense.”
“That’s right, the hard cash has already been given to us, what is the danger?”
Cher sneered and said, “In today’s society, lack of money was the biggest danger.”
Just when Cher had finished speaking, Simon’s phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number, he answered the call without energy, and said, “Hello, who’s…”
“Dad…Dad, save me, come to Guevara’s Casino and save me.”
Dennis’s fearful voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Simon was immediately woken up, his eyes were wide and round, and he lost control of his emotions and said, “Dennis, what’s wrong?”
The voice was so loud that it immediately quieted the room, and everyone’s puzzled eyes fixed on the phone in Simon’s hand.
“Simon, what’s the matter? Turn on the speaker and let me listen.”
Gabriel only had a grandson Dennis, and he was used to pampering him. Now that he heard that something happened to his grandson, his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
Simon nodded and turned on the loudspeaker.
Soon, Dennis’s voice could be heard on the other end of the phone, and he said anxiously, “Dad, I lost all 20 million dollars, and I still owe more than 10 million dollars. I am going to lose my legs, and they want to chop off my fingers, come and save me!!”
Boom…
These words struck the heads of everyone like thunder, and their brains went blank immediately, and they lost their ability to think.
Especially Gabriel, as if he had received a heavy blow, panic was written all over his face. He immediately sna tched the phone over, and asked in a panic, “Grandson, what’s going on, who did you offend?”
“Grandpa, grandpa,” Hearing grandpa’s voice, Dennis became even more worked up, and immediately said, “I’m in Guevara’s casino, quickly save me with 10 million dollars, otherwise, they’ll cut off my fingers, boo-h oo, I’m scared, Grandpa.”
As Dennis said this, the phone was hung up immediately.

“Hey, hey, hey…” Gabriel panicked when he heard the beeping sound on the phone.
The room was completely quiet, and the atmosphere was even more cerie.
“Simon, hurry up and save our son!”
Camille saw that Simon was in a daze, her eyes were red with anxiety, and she said.
“Isn’t this the spoiled brat that you guys have raised?!” Suddenly Simon was furious, and shouted at the group of people, “Since childhood, Dennis has become so lawless because of your doting. He took the 20 million dollars to gamble, how very bold of him. Do you know why he lost so
do think it
you much? He must have been framed, the 20 million was Oscar and Larry’s money, was so easy to spend?”
A group of people fell silent when they heard the words, not knowing what they were thinking.
Simon continued to roar, “During the day, Lucian came to us asking for money, he was protecting us, because he knew that if we were about to die with this money, you not only did not believe it, but even used the money to humiliate Lucian, this was what you deserve, this was retribution!! I don’t want to save him, let someone chop his legs off, then he won’t be able to go out and cause trouble…”
The angry
Simon trembled.
“Simon, we were wrong.”
Camille lay down on the table and burst into tears, and said miserably, “I told your parents about this, my intention was for them to persuade you to save a little money and ease our hard life. I did not expect this kind of thing to happen.”
Gabriel, Susan and the others lowered their heads, feeling ashamed and regretful for wronging Lucian.
“What to do, what to do, if my eldest grandson was abolished, I will die.”
Susan walked up and down anxiously, tears were about to fall.
Gabriel said hastily, “Simon, go find Lucian. According to the news, his comrade-in-arms was the Azure Dragon War King. Ask him to ask the Azure Dragon War King to save my grandson. He can definitely do it.”
“You do it yourself!”
Simon was very emotional, he slapped his own face, and said, “I have no face to beg someone’s child anymore. When you humiliate him with five thousand dollars, when you turn your back on him and deny him for 30 million dollars, why didn’t you think about begging him then? And you said it before, the Bowman family and Alexander’s family have severed ties, if you want to beg
3/4
him, you go ahead, I won’t go!!”
“Okay, you ba stard, your son is arrested, and you could not help him…”
Gabriel said out of breath.
Simon was flushed with anger, and sat aside furiously, ignoring Gabriel.
“If you don’t ask, I will!”
Gabriel immediately took Camille and a group of Bowman family members to look for Lucian.
At this moment, Lucian did not go home, but was having dinner with his mother, Lilian, in his hometown. While Lucian was sitting in the yard helping Lilian massage her shoulders and her legs, and chatting about homework, Gabriel led a group of people and broke into the small courtyard in a hurry.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Without further ado, Gabriel knelt down in front of Lucian and said with regret, “Lucian, please, save Dennis.”
