Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 118

Screams filled the room. For a moment, Silas and his gang stopped what they were doing, theirmurderous plans put on hold. Outside Tycoon Hotel, a horde of curious onlookers had gathered. Theywere pointing fingers at the thugs while murmuring among themselves.

“Oh dear. People are getting more and more uncivilized these days!”

“I know, right? And at Tycoon, of all places! Tsk…”

“You can say that again. These thugs have no morals. They’re really the shame of our country!”

“These thugs must be very brave, or very stupid, to dare cause trouble at Tycoon.”

The people that Casper had brought to watch the fight unfold came from all walks of life. Theirpresence would play the biggest part in his plan.

Even someone as dense as Silas could tell what was happening by now. They had just mindlesslywalked into Casper’s trap.

“Godd*mn it! Casper, you poor slob! Show your face right this instant! You think you’re such asmartass? Come out here and fight like a man, you coward!” Silas commanded furiously.

The surrounding crowd was getting larger by the minute. Among them were people they had called aswitnesses, but there were also many other passersby who just wanted to get in on the drama.

Fabian’s face turned pale. He did not like where this was going. There were people watching, and hehad a reputation to keep. The passersby’s finger-pointing and criticisms were making him extremelyuncomfortable.

“Haha, Casper’s done it this time!” Felix chuckled at Silas, who was fuming with rage but appearinghelpless.

“Hell yeah! Casper’s really smart to have thought of something like this!” Colton agreed.

Silas was aggressive, and his followers equally so. On the other hand, feeble groans could be heardcoming from Tycoon’s servers. The crowd was no fool. They could tell who had the upper hand here.

As the voices became louder, Silas eventually could not stand it anymore. Glaring at the Tycoon’sservers, he demanded, “Where the hell is Casper, that broke loser? Tell me! Where is he?” As hespoke, he even kicked one of the fallen servers.novelbin

Fabian’s pride was at stake here. Not wanting to lose, he added, “I’ll say, how can a poor scumbag likeCasper visit a high-class establishment like Tycoon? If you ask me, he can’t even get in through thedoor, let alone get to the parking lot! He’s screwing with us, isn’t he? He planned to humiliate us! Andwe’ve fallen for it!”

Silas thought about it for a moment and agreed with Fabian. The hotel’s staff would have chased thepenniless idiot out the moment he set foot in the building. How could I be so stupid to believe in his lies!

“You have a point. I’m going to kill him for making a fool out of me!”

At that moment, more and more people had gathered in front of Tycoon. They were mostly curiousonlookers waiting to see how things would turn out.

“We’re leaving!” Silas barked an order.

At that moment, Casper came out from the lobby, with Elena following closely behind him.

“Oh? Leaving so soon? There’s no rush. We haven’t even had our ‘talk’ yet…” Casper emphasized theword “talk.”

Fabian and Silas stared straight at Elena, their eyes suddenly filled with extreme jealousy.

How did a poor sap like Casper get his hands on a fair maiden like her? How could a woman like thatbe working for him? This is preposterous!

“D*mn, Casper! You coward! You’ve finally decided to show your face, huh!” Silas shouted at him.

Next to him, Fabian chuckled. “Casper, aren’t you afraid the staff here will chase you out?”

Casper ignored Fabian. He targeted Silas instead.

“I hear you’re a member of the Firewolf Chamber, is that true?”

Silas cackled at the mention. “So what if I am? Are you scared now? If you are, then bow down to meand beg for mercy! I may consider letting you go, you poor scum!”

Casper smiled faintly at that. “Good. As long as you’re from the Firewolf Chamber, that’s all I need toknow. Elena, may I have the accounts, please?”

Elena could feel butterflies in her stomach when Casper called her by her first name. Her cheeksflushed a faint red. Nonetheless, she quickly composed herself and handed Silas the accounts she hadprepared earlier.

Silas looked at the list of items and their respective prices as Elena explained to him. “The FirewolfChamber of Commerce is held accountable for the losses as listed below: Extortion of money fromTycoon, assault on Tycoon’s employees, destruction of Tycoon’s equipment and assets, and, of course,blackmail. Oh, not to mention, compensation fee for the psychological trauma inflicted on ouremployees today. All the damages and their costs can be found in the list. That will be a total of twomillion five hundred and thirty thousand. Please pay up right now.”

Casper added, “I’ll be generous and give you a discount. Let’s make it two million five hundredthousand. I suppose it’s more affordable for you.”

Silas let out a sardonic laugh. Fabian snickered as well. What Casper just told them sounded like ajoke. Or, at least from their perspective, Casper’s presence was already a big, fat joke.

“What the f*ck did you just say? You’re demanding compensation from us? Why don’t you go look inthe mirror first, you smartass! What makes you think we’ll listen to you? Do you think you’re the bossaround here? I mean if you are, then sure, I’ll bow down to you!” Silas barked.

Fabian continued, “What right do you have to demand that? You eat leftovers every day, don’t you?You’re not even worthy to carry my shoes. So who are you to talk to me like that? You think you canextort money from the Firewolf Chamber? Think again, loser! I’m telling you, the real boss of Tycoonwouldn’t even think about going against the Firewolf Chamber, let alone an imposter like you!”

Unable to stand it any longer, Elena stepped up and snapped back at them. “Mr. Simpson is the rightfulchairman of Tycoon Hotel, and he has the highest executive power. Of course he has the right todemand compensation for the place!”

“Lady, are you pulling my leg? Or are you one of his paid actors? Casper here is nothing but a poor sapwho survives on other people’s leftover food. And you’re here calling him the boss?” Fabian glanced atCasper in disdain.

Casper could not wait to hear them beg for mercy. That being said, the reason he baited Silas here wasnot purely for revenge, though Casper thoroughly enjoyed it. He actually had other more importantmatters to settle with that man.

The day before, Stallion had sent Casper all the information on the Firewolf Chamber of Commercethat he had managed to collect.

After so long, they basically had all the information they needed.

With that, Casper finally decided to put an end to the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce right then andthere.

He had tolerated the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce for too long. He would not let them go so easily.

In that case, he supposed it would be a good choice to let Silas be the example as well as the martyr.

The two men were still staring at Casper in disbelief. The latter knew they probably would notacknowledge the truth. Nonetheless, Casper did not really need them to believe anything. He justneeded Silas to be the message bearer for the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.

He understood that it would be near impossible to make them change their inherent views about him insuch a short period of time.
