299: Give me your phone.

“I’m seriously going to call the police. This is getting way too out of hand! Using online loans for gambling is illegal!”

“No, no, no, listen. Nothing this entertaining has happened in our village for years. I haven’t seen enough yet, so please don’t call the police! Besides, this is a matter between their two families. We shouldn't interfere.”

“Seriously, Atapong is hilarious. He’s actually showing off his online loan limit. As if having a high loan limit is something glorious. He’s truly brainless.”

“Exactly! Online loans are a bottomless pit. Easy to borrow, difficult to repay. These two guys are completely insane!”

When his father, Songphong, heard Atapong’s words, his face instantly turned pale.

Songphong was going crazy with worry.

Online loans!

How could he borrow online loans!

That stuff is a bottomless pit that devours people without spitting out the bones!

He had heard people in the village talking before—someone borrowed tens of thousands in online loans, and the interest compounded until it became hundreds of thousands. The debt collectors hounded him until he had no choice but to run away, dragging his elderly parents and children down with him.

Atapong was going to destroy the entire family!

The more Songphong thought about it, the angrier and more terrified he became.

He couldn't let Atapong do this, absolutely not!

Before Atapong could start operating the phone, Songphong suddenly rushed forward, snatched the phone from Atapong’s hand, pointed at Atapong’s head, and cursed loudly, “Are you f*cking possessed?!”

“These online loans are a bottomless pit! Do you want to kill our whole family?!”

How could he have raised such a useless son!

Nala also snapped back to reality and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Atapong’s sleeve and shouting angrily, “That’s right! How can you learn from Su Cha?! You cannot touch those online loans! Even if our family is rich, we can’t handle this kind of waste!”

Nala was also extremely anxious.

Although she was usually as arrogant and overbearing as Atapong, she knew the danger of online loans.

She didn't want to borrow online loans and end up suffering misfortune alongside Atapong.

She still wanted to rely on Atapong’s money to continue throwing her weight around in the village.

Pulled by Songphong and Nala, Atapong instantly broke down.

He fiercely shook off their hands and roared at them, “Both of you shut the f*ck up!”

“Whoever tells me to back down is telling me to die!”

His eyes were red, as if they were about to bleed, and his tone was laced with madness.

“I won’t listen to anyone who tries to persuade me!”

Everyone in the courtyard began discussing the scene.

“Songphong is getting anxious too, hahaha! If he had known this, he should have disciplined Atapong properly back then. Now he knows to worry, but it’s too late!”

“I’m telling you, a person like Atapong needs a serious lesson, otherwise he thinks he can act arrogant just because he has a bit of money! Let him learn that money isn't everything.”

“Sigh, Atapong really won’t listen to advice. His wife and father are so anxious, but he still wants to raise the stakes. If I had a son like that, I’d beat him to death with a stick! He’s too infuriating!”

“Exactly. Songphong is pitiful, raising such a rebellious son. He’s going to suffer for it later.”

“Give me the f*cking phone!”

Atapong snatched the phone back from his father’s hand, his eyes filled with madness.

Ignoring the pleas of Songphong and Nala, he immediately started operating the phone.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the screen, opening loan apps one after another, and he began borrowing frantically.

He stared intently at the screen, terrified of missing any opportunity to borrow.

Nala saw that Atapong was completely ignoring her advice and was still borrowing online loans like crazy, making her tremble with rage.

She pointed at Atapong, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. In the end, she could only slump weakly onto the ground.

Her heart was filled with despair. She knew Atapong had completely ruined their family.

Songphong was so angry at his son that he was gasping for breath.

He pointed at Atapong, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.

After a good while, he finally choked out, “You… you little bastard!”

“If you screw up this time, I’ll f*cking kill you!”

Lei Jun noticed that Songphong’s complexion was terrible and his breathing was rapid.

Songphong was getting old, and if Atapong provoked him like this, something unexpected might happen.

As the people in the courtyard watched Atapong borrow loans frantically, the murmurs started up again.

“Atapong is truly a rebellious son. Look how upset he’s made his father!”

“Atapong has completely lost it! He’s lost all reason!”

“Yeah, didn’t you see? Both his eyes and Su Cha’s eyes are red! These two are like two crazy bulls now; no one can stop them!”

“This Atapong is too arrogant. I really hope this guy loses everything he owns! Let him learn the consequences of being arrogant!”

“Hahahaha, Atapong has totally gone mad! This is too entertaining!”

“Hmph, this is the ugly face of a gambler! In order to win money, they disregard everything, even abandoning their own family!”

“Indeed, gambling is terrifying. It harms not only yourself but also the people around you who care about you. We must never touch gambling.”

Atapong was indifferent to the pleas of his father and wife. All he could think about now was winning this round and thoroughly humiliating Su Cha.

He was extremely excited, rapidly operating the phone, the veins bulging clearly on his forehead.

While borrowing, he roared incoherently, “No, it won’t happen! His hand might be higher than mine, but his life will always be lower than mine!”

“Even if it’s a three of a kind Aces, so what!”

Speaking of which, he widened his eyes and yelled excitedly, “I bet he can’t produce three million!!!”

“At that point, he’ll have no choice but to fold and wait to die!”

Then, Atapong burst into a maniacal laugh: “Hahahaha!”

The more he laughed, the more twisted his expression became, his eyes filled with madness and triumph: “I’ve got him cornered! I’ve got him cornered!”

Lei Jun looked at Atapong’s twisted face and felt a wave of nausea.

This man had been completely overwhelmed by greed and anger, turning him into a lunatic.

Su Cha was going head-to-head with Atapong, but his father, Wenchalong, that timid and weak man, was the first to lose his nerve.

Wenchalong had been hiding in the corner of the courtyard, afraid to look at Atapong or meet the eyes of the other villagers.

His heart was full of fear and regret.

He didn't dare criticize Atapong, so he could only vent all his anger onto his own son.

He pointed at his son and tearfully lamented with indignation, “You… you… you rebellious son!”

“I told you not to gamble against him!”

“We are just ordinary commoners, but he’s a big boss! How can we compete with him?!”

Wenchalong’s crying grew louder and louder, making Su Cha feel irritated.
