Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 24

Casper was astonished to find out what a coward Spiky Hair was. Looks like the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce is nothing to be afraid of. I can’t believe this person is brave enough to lead a bunch of thugs to come and wreck Tycoon.

“Pfft, how dare you call yourself a thug? Hurry, tell me where the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce is. Otherwise, I will break your other arm!” urged Casper impatiently as a disdainful smirk flitted across his lips.

Huh. Spiky Hair’s a disgrace to his gang.

Spiky Hair sobbed and answered, “It’s at Marine Luxworld. Our leader is Hector Corneo.”

He sniffled and proceeded to reveal everything he knew about the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.

“Leader?” Casper snorted. “Tell your leader that I shall meet him tomorrow!”

Casper made up his mind. If he couldn’t deal with the so-called Firewolf Chamber of Commerce, Tycoon wouldn’t be able to open for business. His plan to increase his profit by tenfold would go down the drain.

“Yes, yes,” mumbled Spiky Hair as he nodded profusely.

He was scared out of his wits and dared not go against Casper’s wishes.

After Casper fished out the information he needed from Spiky Hair, he dismissed the latter with a wave. “Scram!”

“Yes, yes. We shall scram now.”

Spiky Hair had no intention of staying with the terrifying man. He scrambled to his feet and escaped the scene with his accomplices.

Clearly, those thugs were traumatized by Casper’s skills.

With his brows knitted up, Casper scanned the messy scene full of battered tables, chairs, and other ruined stuff. He had only been in charge of Tycoon for less than fifteen days, but those people from Firewolf Chamber of Commerce managed to wreck the place up completely.

If I don’t teach them a lesson, they would think I’m a pushover! I still need to run my business in Horington.

Casper told the security to close Tycoon up for the time being before returning to his dorm.

Back at the dorm, he was about to enter when Felix, Colton, and Remy stormed out angrily with a wooden baton in their hands. Both parties crashed into each other.

“Friends, where are you going?” asked Casper curiously as they stepped back.

Did some tactless thug offend my friends? They look like they are ready to go to battle. Hmm, normally they should be engrossed in gaming right now.

“Casper, you’re back. We heard that some people have been causing a scene at Tycoon. We’re about to go help you.”

“Casper, are you alright?”

“Tycoon’s your property, so we must help you take revenge!”

Felix, Colton, and Remy looked furious as though they were ready to risk their lives to chase those thugs away.

Casper was moved by Felix, Colton, and Remy’s sincerity. They wanted to offer their help as he wasn’t here. Ah, they are my true friends! I’m so proud to get to know them on this big campus.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Those thugs are gone. Tycoon is currently closed for repairs, so you can put those batons down lest the others misunderstand,” explained Casper as he pushed the three of them back into their dorm.

It would be a bad idea to drag them into the mess as the opponent was the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. They weren’t ordinary thugs who would give up after getting beaten up.

“Oh? The thugs had already left? I thought I’d give them a beating to see if my recent training is working,” uttered Remy in dissatisfaction while he flung the wooden baton aside.

“Remy, what are you talking about? Why would the thugs remain there? To celebrate Christmas with us?” Felix chided and glared at Remy before turning to Casper and asked, “Casper, who are they?”

Both Remy and Colton whirled around to look at Casper. In fact, it didn’t take them long to realize someone influential must be backing those thugs out for they dared to cause a scene at Tycoon.

Casper nodded and replied solemnly, “Yes, they are from the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. Stay out of this. I can handle the matter myself.”

As he didn’t even know what the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce was all about, he didn’t want to drag Felix and the others into the mess.

“The Firewolf Chamber of Commerce?”

Felix and the boys fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Remy’s eyes lit up. “Oh, I remember Leo once boasted that his brother, Tyson is a member of the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. I think he’s a team leader of some sort there,” he revealed what he knew to everyone.

Felix declared, “I knew he’s bad news. Casper, should we get him and interrogate him?”

After a brief deliberation, Casper shook his head. “Not for now. This isn’t as simple as it seems.”

Still, he felt blessed to have such loyal friends.

Silence ensued.

A moment later, Felix broke the silence. “By the way, Casper. Sawyer Lingham, a third-year student at BU, invited you to have tea with him at Weiss Lake Teahouse.”

“He asked me out for tea?”

Casper was stunned, but he swiftly recalled how Sawyer tried to chase after his future wife, Giselle.

“Casper, Sawyer’s famous on our campus. He’s rich. Of course, compared to you, he’s nothing but a scum. His father is the chairman of Lingham Group, which is a listed company worth at least three billion. His father is also the richest man in Horington.

As the most informative person in the dorm, Remy quickly shared everything he knew about Sawyer.

Colton scoffed. “I think he’s acting ostentatiously because of his father’s wealth.”

Felix was worried. “Casper, I think he’s harboring an evil intent. We shouldn’t go meet him.” Clearly, this was a set-up to bring harm to them.

Previously, Felix had heard about how Sawyer tricked those materialistic girls by promising he would buy them luxurious stuff. After having his way with them, he’d dump them without hesitation.

Those girls might’ve brought it upon themselves, but there was no denying that Sawyer was a jerk.
