My NTR Harem

Chapter 183: Debt

Lucian listened to the conversation happening around him and walked towards his class. It seemed his song was really going to be very popular soon.

When he arrived in class, he saw that a few students who had failed the test the previous day had arrived a little early; even Mason and Baldie had arrived there.

They were talking among themselves, and when they saw Lucian walk in, they exchanged a few words, then stood up and walked toward him.

"Hey, topper, shall we have a little chat?" Mason spoke, a big smile on his face that looked really ugly because of the burn mark.

"Don't worry, we are not going to beat you or anything, so just follow us it won't take too long." Baldie added, trying to smile innocently, but the smile just looked disgusting.

Putting his bag on his chair, Lucian shrugged his shoulders and gestured to them that he would follow them.

The few students in the class also noticed the three of them walking out of there; most of them didn't pay attention.

Glasses, the topper of the class, continued to study, and Sana, who came to school early, just stared at Lucian's back.

Sana came early since she lives in a rather dangerous area filled with gangsters, so she leaves early to avoid all those things.

After Lucian almost confessed to her, for some reason, her gaze always ended up on him, but he never looked back at her.

Sighing to herself, she focused on her studies; that is the only way to get a scholarship in a good college and change her life forever.

...

The three boys walked in the corridor and then entered a room that was completely empty.

This was the room previously used by a club, but now it remains empty most of the time.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Lucian asked as he walked closer to the window and gazed at the rising sun, his voice not containing even a hint of fear, unlike what the other two expected.

"Tell me, are you in any way connected to what happened to my friends? Two of them are missing, one was bitten by a snake, and two did something really suspicious. My gut tells me that you are connected somehow," Mason spoke.

He was a complete moron, so he just repeated the words Baldie told him.

"…" Lucian just gazed at the two of them, who were giving him fierce looks as if they might attack him at any moment. Finally, he spoke:

"Yes, just as you had expected, I am responsible for all of it. I made two of your friends disappear, and they are most probably dead by now.

I also placed the snake in his desk and then gave the two idiots those drinks; all of it was done solely by me." As he spoke, Lucian placed a hand over his chest, honesty dripping from his face.

"…" Mason and Baldie remained silent as they stared at Lucian with narrowed eyes. Then they looked at each other and burst out laughing, to the point that tears came out of their eyes.

"I didn't know you could make jokes like that. You did all that? Yeah, right, we believe you. Make sure the police don't catch you hahaha," Baldie laughed, caressing his head.

"Oh right, I have heard you both have lost quite a lot of money by some online scam. Did the police help you?" Lucian said while tapping his chin with his finger.

"How do you know that?" Mason asked, surprise clearly visible all over his face.

"What do you mean, how? This is already a hot topic. Make sure your family doesn't hear anything about it."

Lucian patted Mason's shoulder, then he simply walked out of there; there was still time before he dealt with these two.

Today he was going to meet Ava, the girlfriend of the Godfather of W.O.T., and then he would have to meet with his uncle's family.

He went straight back to his class since the drama club members may not have arrived yet.

The students in the class were quite surprised that this time Lucian was able to return without any injuries.

Mason and Baldie stared at each other, their faces covered in sweat and fearful expressions on their faces.

Both Baldie and Mason didn't trust that site at first, but they talked about it with many people over an online platform.

On social media, this app had a channel with several thousand people connected to it.

After talking there, Mason and Baldie found out that this site was completely trustworthy, and a lot of people had actually formed a fortune there.

What they didn't know was that all the people they had talked with were just Echo, who acted with different personas, and most of those accounts were of women, so the two young, horny guys believed it all very easily.

Finally, they decided to bet with some of their money, and much to their surprise, they actually won; their money instantly doubled.

So along with the money they had just won, they both used even more money and made a big bet.

They won again, then they took the money out of that site, and finally, they were both overjoyed when they received the money in their banks.

But actually, they didn't receive any money; all SMS were sent by Echo, and she even showed the wrong bank balance.

The imaginations of the two greedy boys ran wild, and they imagined becoming millionaires or even billionaires.

So they used all the money in their banks, even their parents' money, and borrowed as much money as they could.

Finally, they invested a lot of money and won; the two felt ecstatic.

They transferred the money back to their accounts and showed the amount in their accounts to their parents, feeling proud of becoming rich.

Almost forty thousand was the amount they had initially invested, exhausting all of their parents' savings, but then they invested more money, investing a really big amount.

But it was all worth it; the world came crashing down on them when they went to buy a new mobile, but the card declined and showed that they didn't have any balance.

It was at that moment they knew they had messed up.

There was nothing they could do after that; they tried to call the police and explain the situation, but the cops just recorded them and uploaded the video over the internet to gain views on their YouTube channels.

Mason and Baldie haven't told anyone about it yet. They have even taken loans from their gangster friends; they might really end up dying if they don't repay the money.

In the class, Eric and Perv arrived, sat in their seats, and looked at Lucian.

"Are you going to act in the drama too?" Eric asked.

"Yes, I am going to be the male lead, story writer, and producer. You should both come to watch it; I am sure you are going to enjoy it a lot," Lucian explained while editing an image on his mobile.

"Oh?!! I didn't know you were interested in all that. Well, you may not be aware, but I am a great actor myself; no one would be able to catch me once I lie about anything," Perv spoke with pride on his face.

"Look at this, Parvinder; your favorite actress has come to the cafeteria of this school," Lucian said as he showed Perv the image that he had just edited.

"Wh-What?!! She is really here? Oh, she is buying dry bread? Anyway, wait for me. I need to go meet her and give her my autograph.

Thank you, Lucian; you are the best," Perv said as he stood up and ran out of the class in a hurry.

"Do you have something to speak?" Eric asked with a smile. He knew Lucian sent Perv away like this when he was going to speak some kind of secret or big news; after all, Perv couldn't keep a secret.

"How are your part-time jobs these days?" Lucian asked a question instead of answering, taking a card from his pocket and playing with it, rolling it between his fingers.

"Haa, they are as exhausting as ever, and the pay is really bad. Those types of jobs ask for more than twice the work compared to what they pay. But why are you asking about that?" Eric replied.

"Are your parents okay? What about the debt?" Lucian asked another question.

"Hmm? They are fine but stay out of the house most of the time doing several jobs each day. And the debt… sigh.

The three of us have been working every day so hard, but the debt is barely down, and most of our money goes to pay the interest. I don't know if we will ever be able to pay it back.

The environment at home is really depressing; it stays empty almost all the time. Anyway, why are you asking about those things?" Eric asked.

He began to rattle about his misery, though he didn't like talking about it, but this is the only place where he felt relaxed, enjoying some time with his friends.

"Actually, I am starting a small business. It is still in the very early phase, but the pay is going to be a lot better than all of your jobs combined. So, do you want to join?"

Lucian asked as he finally turned his gaze towards Eric, who looked back at him in shock.
