Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 58

Kicking someone when they were down had always been an important principle in combat.

Therefore, Casper wasn’t going to waste the golden opportunity. The very next moment, he rained a flurry of blows down on John. The speed and power with which he did so were so fast and furious that John didn’t even have the chance to defend himself. In less than a few minutes, he too was beaten to a pulp.

With his body covered in blood, he looked especially pitiful.

“How dare you kidnap my friend and plan to sully her? Give me a reason why I shouldn’t break your limbs?”

Staring at John, who was slump on the ground and gasping for air, Casper let out a smirk as he raised his fists.

“You b*stard. I’m going to kill you…”

John struggled to stand but wasn’t able to move a muscle. With Casper’s foot placed over his arm, he felt as if a boulder was pressing down on it.

John was shocked at how terrifyingly strong Casper was. Despite looking slim and at most well- proportioned, he had no idea that Casper had so much power and speed in him.

He couldn’t make sense of what had just occurred. Wasn’t this cripple limping before this?

At that moment, a dreadful feeling dawned upon him. It’s a trap!

“You liar. My boss isn’t going to let you off. Don’t think just because you have defeated me, you can rescue the girl and leave,” John threatened as his eyes flashed with ferocity.

He knew how strong Brandon was. Even if there were two Caspers, it wouldn’t be enough to defeat him. Furthermore, Brandon was armed with a razor-sharp dagger.

“Is that so? In that case, I’ll go ahead and cripple you first!”

Looking at John’s legs, Casper remarked cheekily, “You are just too noisy and will be an impediment to my plans.”

“Are you trying to take us down one by one? In your dreams, Bo…”

John sneered when he saw through Casper. After all, he was going to scream at the top of his lungs to alert Brandon. He knew that once Brandon heard his cry, he would definitely kill Mandy and flee. With that, Casper’s rescue plan would end up a failure.

Before he could finish yelling, Casper slammed his foot in between John’s leg. His kick was so swift that John didn’t even see it coming.

“Argh…” John groaned as he held onto his crotch.

Collapsing onto the ground and rolling around in agony, he felt as if his whole body was on fire.

An excruciating pain radiated through his entire body as if his soul was gutted. His forehead broke out in cold sweat while his teeth began to clatter.

Before John could finish his sentence, he had already lost consciousness.

Casper put his finger to John’s nose to check. He was still breathing but had fainted from the pain.

After locking the prayer room from the outside, Casper left it the second time after incapacitating two human traffickers. Nevertheless, he knew he had to keep his guard up. Based on what John had said,

Brandon was the strongest among them and also the most crafty. Furthermore, his methods were extremely ruthless.

With that in mind, Casper knew that he had to be extra vigilant. After all, Mandy was still in Brandon’s hands. It would be a huge problem if he were to kill her and flee.

As Casper moved slowly toward the main hall, he did so with extreme caution. Creeping every step of the way, he made sure that he didn’t make a sound.

At that moment, the tension in the afternoon air increased dramatically. Any careless movement might lead to untoward consequences.

“John, where are you? Why have you been gone for so long? Is Jason up to no good again? Sooner or later, that interest of his will be his undoing.”

Just when Casper had his hand on the door to the main hall, Brandon’s voice rang out, causing him to freeze out of anxiety.

If Brandon realized something was wrong and took pre-emptive action, the rescue might then be jeopardized.

Despite feeling extremely nervous, Casper’s expression was still a sea of calm. If Felix and the others were present, they would be awed by how steady he was under such stressful circumstances.

Obviously, Casper’s emotions were a far cry from what his expression showed. After all, this was a life- and-death situation.

“Jason is always slow in doing things. Why does preparing a meal take so long? John is also a b*stard. This can’t be tolerated. I’m going to take a look.”

With his stomach growling, Brandon no longer had any patience to wait. “Girl, I don’t want to kill anyone now. So, you had better behave!”

Overwhelmed by hunger, Brandon naturally wanted to fill his stomach first. After giving Mandy a warning, he headed for the monastery’s backyard. After all, the cooking was always done there.

When he heard the approaching footsteps, Casper was given a fright. He dived into a flower bed at once, where he could use the leaves of a flourishing orange tree as cover.

When he saw Brandon walk past without a shirt on, he noticed the dagger hanging from Brandon’s waist. Its blade reflected the sun with a jarring flash.

Looking at the blade, it sent shivers down his spine. Even at a distance, Casper felt as if he could smell blood from it.

After all, it must have tasted the blood of many a victim.

“Damn it, I better save Mandy first.”

After he saw Brandon leaving the main hall, Casper didn’t dare linger. After slipping in, he hurried to Mandy’s side and helped her up.

“You… you assh*le…”

As Mandy was woken abruptly, she pushed Casper away and cursed him before realizing what was going on. She had assumed he was one of Brandon’s men.

Earlier, she had just wanted to see the waterfall alone but didn’t expect to have been captured and brought there.

“Haha, I knew you were up to no good. Now, I have forced you to reveal your true colors.”

Before Mandy could finish berating Casper, Brandon’s frosty voice thundered throughout the hall. Smiling viciously, he was a terrifying sight to look at.

In truth, Brandon had already sensed something was amiss. Regardless of whether it was Jason or John, both of them wouldn’t have been gone for so long. After all, they hated going to the backyard. There was a tomb there and they happened to be scared of ghosts.
