Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 40

As Tristan spoke of his offer, he stared at Casper with an air of confidence.

If this guy becomes my subordinate, no doubt my influence in Horington will soar, and I might even have the chance to beat Hector and become the leader of Firewolf Chamber. For years, I’ve been searching for a man with physical prowess to assist me.

Seeing that Casper was not replying to him, Tristan continued, “You’re a smart person, so I believe you’ll make the correct choice. The salary offered by Firewolf Chamber is not low at all. You can get at least a hundred thousand per month. Isn’t it a tempting offer?”

After that, he glanced at Steed and Stallion and added, “As long as you agree to work for me, I’ll let you have a ten percent share of Sands Project. That would give you a dividend of six hundred thousand per year.”

The offer he made was rather generous and tempting for an ordinary person.

Hearing Tristan’s statement, Steed’s heart sank. He knew that if Casper were to turn against him, even if he called all of his subordinates to come, they would not be able to stop Casper as well.

Besides, Tristan had his subordinates creeping outside, too. Oh, God. We might lose Sands Project tonight.

Meanwhile, Stallion was as anxious as his father. His hands became clammy, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

After all, he knew nothing about Casper. He befriended him solely because he admired his combat skills.

A moment later, Casper waved his hand and replied, “Haha. Your offer is good, but I don’t want to join hands with a serpent.”

“If that’s so, I guess there’s nothing else to discuss between us. Do you know whom you’re going against? Aren’t you wary of Firewolf Chamber?” A cold glint flashed across Tristan’s eyes.

“Why should I be afraid?” Casper stared at him as if he was looking at a fool. “If I don’t let you go back, Firewolf Chamber won’t know about what happened here. Or, if I turn you into a mute with a drug and break your limbs, do you think that they’ll know about this?”

“You’re ruthless! Since you choose the hard way, so be it then!” Tristan scoffed. “You’re right that I’ve brought more people here. Come in!”

With that, five men in black vests barged through the door and soon surrounded the office.

With those burly, thug-looking men around, no one could possibly go in or out of the place.

Upon seeing a man with dyed blond hair and a goatee mustache, Steed went pale instantly and raised his voice. “T-Terry? Why have you become Tristan’s subordinate?”

He initially expected Terry, his subordinate, to save him later on, but now that Terry had betrayed him, all hope was lost for Steed.

How can I defeat Tristan now?

“Mr. Steed, I…” Terry’s voice trailed off as he looked down in shame.

“What a pleasant surprise for you, old man. Did you not expect Terry to betray you? I’d told you a long time ago that it’s time for you to retire and enjoy the rest of your life. Why make yourself suffer? Am I right?” Tristan taunted triumphantly.

As soon as he finished his words, his smile faded and turned into a sneer. “You all, kill this guy!”

“Yes!” The subordinates answered in unison. Led by Terry, the five men immediately charged toward Casper.

Looking at them, his sneer grew wider in satisfaction. I want that b*stard to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! If it wasn’t for his interference, I’d have rendered Steed powerless and gotten Sands Project already by now.

Needless to say, he hated Casper to the core.

Casper shook his head in amusement and shouted at Tristan, “Hey, you ungrateful wretch. Open your eyes wide and watch how I beat them up. After I’m done with them, I’ll chop off your hands!”

He then ducked their attacks swiftly and disappeared from Tristan’s sight all of a sudden. In a blur, he swooped and dived as they closed in on him and threw his fists on them as fast as lightning.

Just as Tristan thought that Terry and the others were going to win, the sound of thumping fists and bones cracking followed by groans of pain rang in the room.

The shock he was experiencing at the moment was beyond words. Before he could snap out of his trance, his subordinates were sprawled across the floor, again.

Soon, Casper came to Tristan’s side and patted his face. “Did you not expect this to happen? Haha. It’s your turn now.”

“W-What do you want from me? No, don’t come near me!” Tristan shrieked, looking at Casper as if he was a monster who was going to eat him alive.

It finally dawned on him that Casper was not an ordinary man. He’s horrifyingly powerful! I should have brought more subordinates here today.

Before he could scamper away, Casper placed his right hand on Tristan’s shoulder and dislocated his arm with a pop sound. He then proceeded to do the same on his other arm, causing Tristan to let out a scream of agony.

“I hate Firewolf Chamber the most, and you actually dared to threaten me with it. This shall be a lesson to you. If I see you again next time, I’ll make you a mute!” Casper pushed Tristan to the ground and glanced at his subordinates who were still sprawled on the ground. “Take your boss and get out of here! Terry, stay!”

Hearing his cold voice, those thugs shook like a leaf in fright and staggered to their feet. Except for Terry, everyone else rushed over to help Tristan out.

Within a minute, the office was cleared. Casper boldly sat down on the chair opposite of Steed and beamed at him.

Stallion was the first to react and said, “Boss, you’re amazing! Let me pour you a glass of water. You must be tired.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Totally in awe of Casper, he immediately went to the water dispenser to fetch him a glass of water.
