Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 151

Derek had never seen Casper before that, so he didn’t know what Casper had against him.

He did make a lot of enemies before being recruited into the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce, but none of them were as young as Casper.

As such, Derek didn’t buy into Casper’s threat and nearly burst out laughing when he heard it.

Had that threat come from someone like Hector or any of the other gangs’ leaders, Derek would’ve believed it readily.

Not only did Casper look incredibly young and flimsy, but his only dagger was also stuck on the nightstand next to Derek.

Heh, I wonder if he even realizes the situation he’s in right now… This guy must be a fool if he thinks he can pose a threat to me with his weapon by my side! Those who barge in here are usually after money or some stupid form of justice, both of which I couldn’t care less about. Regardless, I probably shouldn’t reveal that I have the upper hand here just yet.

While Firewolf Chamber didn’t have the most proficient fighters, their men weren’t complete pushovers either. However, Derek had failed to realize the fact that a nobody couldn’t have possibly made it into his office without alerting practically everyone in the building.

“Hey, kid! How about I offer you a million, and we settle this peacefully?” Derek asked.

Casper arched an eyebrow in amusement. Oh? Did he just try to bribe me?

As amused as he was, Casper also knew that every second he wasted on Derek would increase the chances of errors in his plans.

“Yeah? How about I pay you five million, and you let me take your life instead?” he replied with a chuckle.

“Are you f*cking kidding me?” The look Derek’s face turned cold as he reached for his gun in the nightstand. “I gave you a chance, and you chose not to take it, so don’t blame me for being merciless here!”

He then cocked the gun and pulled the trigger, but Casper was faster and pulled out another dagger which he plunged deep into Derek’s heart.

Clatter!

Derek’s eyes went wide with shock as the gun slid out of his hand and fell to the floor.

Never before had he expected to meet his maker in such a way, and his eyes remained open even after he breathed his last.

Blood continued gushing out of his still body, forming a gruesome sight for the secretary beside him.

She let out another ear-piercing scream in response, much to Casper’s annoyance.

“Scream again, and I’ll send you to him.”

The secretary went silent upon hearing that and curled up into a ball in a corner of the room. She wanted to leave, but had nothing she could cover herself with except the bloodied blanket on the bed.

Feeling disgusted by the scene before him, Casper turned around and walked out of the room.

The secretary let out a sigh of relief and quickly left the place that would probably traumatize her for quite a while.

What happened tonight would probably have scarred her mentally… Well, not that I care, though. We’re all responsible for our choices and actions, so she should’ve been prepared for this the moment she chose to sleep with him.

Casper thought to himself as he made it to level B3. There weren’t a lot of people around as it was late at night, and he was able to sort out the remaining thugs without any trouble.

Although that was a good thing for him, Casper couldn’t help but worry that he might have come all this way only to know that his target was absent.

He soon realized that his concern was unnecessary when he saw that the lights were on in his target’s office.

I’ve heard some stuff about Hector, but I don’t really know that much about him, and that could lead to unexpected changes in my plans… Screw it. I’ve come too far to back out now! I have to do this for Remy’s sake!

Casper took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Hector’s office.

“Come in!”

Hector wasn’t the least bit surprised to see Casper.

“So, you’re finally here… I’m guessing you’ve taken care of Derek, then?”

He said that so casually that it seemed as if he wasn’t bothered by it at all.

In fact, Hector had ordered the secretary to seduce Derek so he would stay the night.

It was meant to be a form of precaution as he had a feeling that Casper would make a move that night.

He had sent Derek to see how long it would take Casper to eliminate him, and Derek died that night without even knowing he was used as a mere tool.

“Looks like Derek didn’t keep you busy for long… What a useless piece of trash!” Hector said with a chuckle.

Everyone around him was merely items at his disposal.

Casper made no effort to beat around the bush and cut straight to the chase. “Are you the one who did that to Remy?”

Hector, on the other hand, disliked being direct and preferred to tease his opponents as he enjoyed seeing them get flustered.

“Do you think I did it?” he asked with a grin.

Casper could tell from Hector’s attitude that he definitely had something to do with it, but he didn’t have definite evidence to prove it just yet.

The only reason he launched an attack on the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce was to help Remy out and to take over their territory.

This guy is a sly fox and will be hiding in his “burrows”, so the only way to deal with him effectively is to get him out in the open. Guess I’ll just have to smoke him out with flames of anger!This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
