Chapter 431 - Debt (1) (1/2)

It was already past dinner time when Auron got out of his house. Then, he immediately rushed out and called a taxi. He didn't forget to rush the taxi driver. Usually, it would take almost 1 hour for Auron to arrive at his friend's house. However, right now, it took only 30 minutes for Auron to arrive at his friend's house.

Auron paid the taxi driver and rushed out of the taxi. Then, he rang Roan's house's bell and knocked at his door while shouting at Roan's name.

Not long after, the door opened. It was Roan who opened the door. He looked dejected. Roan didn't say anything and sighed before turning and went inside, indicating Auron should follow behind him. Auron closed the door and slowly followed behind Roan without asking anything.

While going inside the house, Auron could hear some conversation going on. ”What should I tell him?” Auron could listen to this sentence was said with a gloomy tone.

”Do you really need to do it? I mean, we can just help him pay the debt and come clean. We still have some savings.”

”I didn't want to do it neither. But you are very clear about our current situation. Actually, I am going to do what you say. But, I believe he still has the right to know about this, right?”

”He is here,” Roan said low spiritedly.

Auron could see that the conversation he heard previously was coming from Roan's parents. Roan's father and mother, with a bleak expression, sat on the sofa and conversing with each other.

The atmosphere was gloomy when Auron saw them. When Roan's parents saw Auron coming, they tried to cheer the situation and wore a forced smile.

”Come sit here,” Roan's mother approached Auron and escorted him to the sofa.

Auron became awkward in this situation even more after he heard the conversation from before. After Auron took a seat, silent permeated the house for a few seconds before Roan's mother stood up and offered, ”Do you want some snacks? Let me heat some snacks first from the fridge.”

Roan's mom stood up and eyed to Roan's father before going to the fridge.

”Ehem...” Roan's father awkwardly coughed.

Auron looked at the Roan's father. However, before Roan's father could say anything, Auron asked first, ”What happened? You can just say it to me, frankly.”

Auron had already known that the issue somehow related to him. If not, he would not be called here.

Although Auron had said that, but Roan's father still could not wash away his awkwardness, so he said carefully, ”It is like this... How to say it... You know about your debt, right?”

”The company had just convened a board meeting, and they decided to annul your compensation. They had given you one week to pay all of your debt.”

After Roan's father said all of that in one go, he stopped for a moment. At the moment, Auron's mind was chaotic. He never expected that everything turned like this.
