Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 27

“What are you thinking? Do I look like some moneybags? Sawyer was deliberately revealing and bragging about the fact that he spent up to a million rewarding an online streamer. His real purpose was for us to help spread the word for him about how wealthy he was, and you guys can’t even get that? Sigh, you’ve drunk all of that Earl Grey tea for nothing.” Casper rolled his eyes before them and shook his head in affected disappointment.

“Ah, so that’s what it was. No wonder he didn’t even say a word when he saw us drinking the tea up like boozing.” Felix patted heavily on his own thigh as he thought he finally understood what happened.

“Casper, do you think we should help him publicize it?” Remy turned to Casper and asked curiously. Right then, both Felix and Colton also turned to him eagerly, as though all of them had regarded him as the person-in-charge in their dorm.

“Well, since we’ve been treated by Sawyer and drunk so much of the tea, if we don’t help him promote it, it’s unjustifiable. Listen, here’s what we should circulate. We’ll just say that yesterday, Sawyer rewarded a female online streamer with ten thousand worth of gifts, and later he thought she looked hideous, so he found her and forced her to return the money to him,” Casper pondered for a while before his lips curled into a wicked grin and he said to Felix and others as he winked.

As long as that piece of news was spread, regardless of whether it was true or not, Sawyer’s reputation within the campus would be impaired. After all, such is a society in which bad news, especially those exaggerated ones have wings.

Certainly, to Casper, the more the news spread, the better. It would be best if it eventually reached Giselle. Hmph! Trying to steal my future Mrs. Simpson? You’re asking for it!

“Casper, I notice that you’ve changed, but I like it. Let’s just pass it on that way. He despised us for drinking too much Earl Grey tea just now. Damn it, that tea tastes so good.” Felix was all smiles as he put his hand on Casper’s shoulder and blinked.

“My opinion is that this matter isn’t wild enough to pique others’ interest. If we spread it out like that, it wouldn’t bring about the intended result,” Colton frowned and expressed his concern.

“I’m sure you have a better idea. Well, we’ll leave it to you then. Let’s give Sawyer a huge surprise, just not a pleasant one. Hahaha, why do I feel like I’ve changed as well? Mmm, but I like it.” Plain joy was painted all over Felix’s face. He looked very complacent with what they were plotting.

“How can I not take part in such an interesting thing? Oh right, the class president has organized an outing next week, are we going?” Remy patted on his chest, signifying his intention to join in their plan, but he was soon reminded about another event.

As they walked toward their dorm, they came up with an outing plan in just a heartbeat. Casper wouldn’t want to miss out on such an event for sure. Hence, he agreed on the spot.

When the afternoon class ended, they walked back to the dorm, but when they reached the building, Casper thought about visiting the injured manager and staff at the hospital, so he made an excuse to leave and threw his books to Felix to be brought back to the dorm.

Felix and the other two knew that there were certain things they couldn’t help Casper with, so they just stayed in the dorm and played games.

As he headed to Tycoon, an idea popped up in Casper’s mind. The influencer economy has been on the rise these days, it’d be great if I can venture into this industry.

Turning a hundred million into a billion was a goal Casper had to accomplish in order for him to inherit the Simpson family’s wealth.

The reason why he had spent such a huge sum to support Giselle was also that he wanted to see how crazy the fans in the live stream could get. You’d never know the full extent of something until you see them for yourself.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The fans were indeed out of their minds. They didn’t hesitate to go all out just to support the online streamer they liked.

Sawyer was the perfect illustration. He was willing to throw in a million to support Giselle without a second thought.

When he arrived at the entrance of the university and met up with his secretary, Elena, they took a taxi together and headed to People’s Hospital.

“Mr. Simpson, the arrangement for Mr. Gray and other staff have all been done, and the medical fees have been settled. Here’s the statement of losses for the restaurant. We’ve suffered damage amounting to a hundred and twenty thousand in total.” Sitting next to Casper, Elena took in a few long breaths before handing the statement to Casper.

Looking at the statement of losses, Casper’s brows furrowed and his expression turned gloomy. This Firewolf Chamber of Commerce is atrocious enough to smash so many items at the restaurant. I’d be sorry to myself if I don’t make them pay for it.

“Generate a statement of the costs incurred for Mr. Gray and other staff’s treatment at the hospital as well. It’ll be of use to me,” Casper instructed in a straightforward manner.

He didn’t plan to let those ruffians from the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce off the hook so easily. He would make them bear the consequences of damaging his restaurant.

“Mr. Simpson, you…” Sensing the aura wafting from Casper, Elena shifted a little nearer to the car window unwittingly as she was compelled by the murderous air around her.

“Nothing,” Casper responded with a brief laugh and hurriedly suppressed his rage, dissipating his previous emanation in the air.

No one said anything else along the journey and soon, they reached the hospital. Casper followed Elena and trod toward the ward.

In the ward, Casper saw the general manager whose head was bandaged, but he looked a lot better than before.

“Mr. Gray, focus on recuperation in the hospital and don’t worry about the medical costs. When you recover, you’ll continue to manage Tycoon. You can take the opportunity to renovate the restaurant and let Ms. Schneider send me the statement of all the costs,” after comforting the general manager, Russell Gray, Casper spoke his mind.

“Thank you, Mr. Simpson.”

Listening to Casper’s words, Russell was particularly excited and moved, especially when he saw that the owner of the restaurant had come to the hospital to visit him personally.

“Ms. Schneider, please check on the condition of other workers.” Seeing as Russell was hesitant to speak, Casper sent Elena away.

“Mr. Simpson, to be honest, I’ve carried out my own investigation on the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. It has been developing in recent years, and its leader is a man called Hector Corneo. They’ve gained a solid footing in Horington, and even some notorious gangs would stay out of their way. The biggest nightclub in Horington, Marine Luxworld, was also under Hector’s control. It might be just a project under the chamber, but its business is going very well, and it operates until two to three o’clock past midnight every day,” in his patient gown, Russell spoke about the information he gathered as he leaned against the wall. There was even an envious glint in his eyes.
