Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 21

“You… Who are you?”

The sudden escalation of the episode left George trembling incessantly.

“Bodyguard! Bodyguard! Body…”

Before George could finish his words, Casper took a rag out from nowhere and precisely tugged it into the former’s mouth. Recoiling in fear, George started struggling and groaning desperately.

“Stop struggling if you want to walk out of here alive,” Casper stated in an extraordinarily composed tone.

Instantly, George did not dare to make another sound while the color drained from his face.

“Very good.” Only then did Casper nod with satisfaction. He then shifted his eyes towards Lilian.

The woman was still sitting on the floor, her eyes flashing with surprise and admiration.

This is not good…

Suddenly, a bad feeling washed over Casper.

Since he helped Lillian get rid of Leo yesterday, she had started to show affection towards him, and she had even kissed him before leaving.

If it were before, Casper would undoubtedly be happy with that. As Lillian was indeed a perfect beauty, all men would wish to have a relationship with her.

However, Casper already had Giselle now, so he could only play dumb about Lillian’s feelings towards him. The previous day after he went back to the dorm, he had decided that he would keep his distance from Lilian. As long as they did not meet anymore, he figured she would soon forget about him.

He could have never predicted that merely after a day, he would encounter her at the school. And coincidentally, he had sensed the trouble in her heart and eventually overheard her conversation with her brother. That was how he had found out about the whole thing.

Thus, that was when he decided to stick his nose into it. After all, he could not bear letting an innocent girl being victimized by her brother, even though Lilian was a nobody to him.

With that in mind, Casper could not suppress his irritation, and he angrily cast a kick towards George, making him fall to the ground. novelbin

This is all this fat prick’s fault.

He left another furious kick at the latter before squatting down slowly to remove the rag from his mouth.

Cough, cough, cough…

George was finally able to breathe normally again.

“Son of a b*tch… how dare you to treat me like this. Do you know who my father is… You’re a dead man. Release me now!”

George used almost all of his remaining strength to speak that phrase. Pissed by his words, Casper showed no mercy and stepped fiercely on his chest. Instantly there was a cracking sound, and George was moaning painfully again on the floor.

Casper’s calm voice sounded utterly intimidating as he warned, “Looks like you haven’t got the situation clear. I don’t know about your father, but I know you’re in my hands now. Say another word, and I’ll make sure you crack another bone.”

“Such arrogance. Do you know who I am? I’m… Arghh!”

Before George could finish his sentence, he felt another torturing pain in his left arm, along with the bone-cracking sound. The pain was so intense; he felt as though his heart had stopped.

Casper let go of the man’s broken arm and smiled. “Haha… You never learn, do you?”

George was panting crazily as he used his other hand to grab tightly onto his broken arm. His eyes were filled with resentful fear, but he did not dare spit out another word.

“That’s right. Why didn’t you just shut up earlier? You could have saved the pain.”

Casper stood up straight and dusted off his clothes before speaking once again.

“Lilian’s brother… How much does he owe you?”

George kept silent.

“I’m asking you a question! Speak!”

“I… you… You’re the one who asked me to shut up.” After a long while, George spoke hesitantly while staring at Casper cautiously.

“You can speak if I ask you to,” Casper responded coldly.

“Two… Two hundred thousand.” George shuddered while answering.

“Where’s the IOU?”

“Here…” George struggled to pull out a crumpled paper from his pocket using his only functioning hand.

Casper saw the same name he saw on the IOU the day before, which was Wayne Thomas. It clearly stated the loan amount as two hundred thousand, with all the signatures seemingly legit.

After confirming that the IOU was not a fake, without a word, Casper tore it into pieces and threw them into the air.

“Now he doesn’t owe you anything.”

Staring at the pieces flying in the air, George finally regained his senses regarding Casper’s act. He was outraged, and he yelled while trying to stand up on his feet. “You!”

“Leave now,” Casper ordered, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

With that, George’s rage vanished rapidly as he timidly crawled out of the warehouse.

“Mr. Darwin… I…” The second he stepped out of the warehouse, his bodyguard appeared and started to explain.

“Useless piece of sh*t! Get me out of here!”

George did not let his bodyguard finish, running in a panicked manner towards his car. The bodyguard sensed the urgency and immediately caught up with his pace. None of them turned back to look at Wayne behind them.

Vroom! Vroooooom!

After the car disappeared into the horizon, only then did Wayne get back to his senses. He walked cautiously into the warehouse and spotted Casper standing beside Lilian. Wayne sat on the floor decadently and let out a long sigh.

“He is George Darwin, son of Mark Darwin, the Chairman of Darwin Corporations. He won’t let this go like this.” After a long wait, Wayne finally broke the silence.

Upon hearing that, Lillian clenched her fists tightly silently and stared at Casper desperately.

“Is that why you decide to sell out your sister?” Casper smiled provocatively.

“Lilian has a difficult life with me after all. If she could follow George, she wouldn’t have to worry about her life anymore. I’m doing all these for her!” Wayne bit his lips as he tried to reason with Caspar.

“Are you listening to yourself? How could you be sure that she would have a good life? What if that fat guy dumps her after getting bored with her? What a wise man you are.” Casper’s tone filled with despise.

Wayne was lost for words and embarrassment was written all over his face.

“Alright. Besides George, how much money do you owe others?” Wayne was startled by Casper’s sudden question.

“Why are you asking?”

“Just tell me.” Casper’s expression turned stern.

“Three… Three million.” Wayne did not dare to lie as he had witnessed Casper’s strength just a while ago.

Upon hearing that, Lilian could not help but let out an astonished yell. “What!”

She was aware that Wayne owed a lot of money all this while, but the amount was way beyond her expectation. She could not believe her brother was in such a deep mess.

“Wayne… How did you…” She choked on her words in disbelief.

Upon seeing Casper today, Lilian’s heart was filled with delight and security. She even started to have optimistic thoughts of borrowing some money from him to pay off her brother’s debt.

She had found out the previous day that Casper was from a family of wealth. Or else he would not have given out two hundred thousand without any hesitation.

As for the money, she thought she could pay it back slowly after she graduated. If that were not enough, she would not mind offering herself to him.

However, all those plans vanished the second she heard the amount of three million.

Three million!

She would never get anywhere near this kind of money for her whole life.

Even if she had become Casper’s lover, it would be impossible to request such an amount from him. Moreover, they were merely strangers now.

“Now you know, huh?”

Wayne let out a self-deprecating smile. Selling Lilian to George was not exactly a big deal for the man. If he could settle things with George, he would still be doomed by a disastrous future due to the three million debt.

All his debtors were not exactly some legal sources, and he knew he could not possibly escape from their clutches.

It was only a matter of time for the other debtors to find out about his beautiful sister. If one of them got their hands on Lilian, the outcome would be devastating. Thinking of that, giving Lilian to George was indeed the most brilliant move he could think of.

“You’re Lilian’s boyfriend, aren’t you?” Out of a sudden, Wayne asked Casper.

“Wayne… What are you talking about…”

Instantly, Lilian blushed shyly. She could hear her heart start beating faster.

Upon hearing that, Casper’s eyes flickered, but he did not respond.

“Now that George has seen my sister, he won’t let her go easily. If you like her, please take her with you. Go as far as you can and don’t come back here. I will blame myself to death if something happens to her.”

Wayne wandered towards the door while speaking, his back figure seeming utterly solemn.

“Wayne…” Staring at her brother, Lilian’s heart suddenly twitched in pain. Her eyes started brimming with tears.

Even though Wayne had just abandoned her mercilessly, he was her only family in this city. She could not bear watching him in such despair.

Right then, Casper finally opened his mouth.

“Lilian and I are just friends.”

Wayne was not at all surprised by that reply. On the other hand, Lilian lowered her head, trying to hide her disappointment.

“But, I can give you the three million.”

Wayne was stunned, and Lilian stared at Casper in disbelief, covering her mouth with both hands. Her sight started to blur as tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes.
