Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 29

He had seen many cases like that. There was one time he defeated a brute who stood at five feet tall. Just thinking about it greatly boosted his confidence.

Casper’s lips curled into a smirk as he sneered at them under his breath. Tyson seems to think I’m all about brute force with no actual combat experience. Tsk, how naïve. Leo, that idiot. He’s not afraid of death, is he? He’s still fixed on seeking revenge on me. Well, since he wants to die that badly, I shall play their little game. I have time to spare anyway.

Casper took one last glance at the gang before slinking back. This was the hospital, not the right place to start a fight.

He counted the time in his head. It was not likely these people would leave anytime soon. Then, he went back to check on the other workers of Tycoon. He expressed his condolences and assured them that they did not have to worry about the medical expenses.

The injured workers gazed at him in gratitude. A few simple words were all it took to put them at ease. Elena, his secretary, had a strange glow in her eyes as she observed him. She was certainly impressed.

The first time she met Casper, she thought he was a university student who had no experience with the real world. He could not possibly win over his workers and have them serve him willingly. Apparently, he exceeded her expectations.

There was something fishy about this, she thought. The young man before her seemed too mature and sophisticated for his age.

Of course, Casper knew nothing about the weird thoughts going on in Elena’s head. He turned towards her and said, “Ms. Schneider, I’m heading back now. When can you have the list compiled for me?”

On that note, Elena quickly snapped back to her senses. “Ah! Mr. Simpson, I’ll get it done soon!” she responded, her face flushed.

“Good. Oh, by the way, I need a list of items for the renovation of the entire hotel lobby. Please get green, eco-friendly materials, and professional designers to pitch their designs. I want to review the drafts first before we start work.”

Ignoring the fact that Elena had been spacing out, Casper relayed all his ideas to her. They were all part and parcel of her job as the executive secretary anyway.

A woman with an angelic face and a sexy figure. That described her to a T.

Casper could feel his eyes lit up at the sight of her confused look from time to time.

Her beauty was comparable to that of Giselle, and she had applied light makeup as well.

If he had not taken a good look at her, Casper would not have noticed that Elena was quite attractive too. She could practically take his breath away. The acquisition of Tycoon had not been in vain.

Casper and Elena entered the empty elevator.

He admired Elena’s curvaceous figure and shapely assets as she walked. He could not deny that the slope of her back was tempting indeed. His eyes lit up and, without knowing it, he blurted, “Oh, Thirty- four D!”

There were the only ones in the elevator. He was not worried that things would turn ugly.

“Excuse me?” Elena uttered, wondering if she had misheard him.

She had thought that her new employer, being so young, should be quite inexperienced when it came to women. However, he actually managed to guess the size of her chest at a single glance.

Could it be that he’s a skirt-chaser?

“Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.”

Casper waved his hand dismissively.

He most certainly did not want to leave Elena with the impression that he was a pervert after having misspoken.

Whether in a hospital or at the restaurant, Casper could see that Elena performed her secretarial duties very well. She was able to handle her work in an orderly manner.

They exited the elevator. Elena was returning to her residence located near Tycoon, while Casper was heading back to his school. So, they walked out of the hospital building together.

When they arrived at the junction connecting the hospital and the main road, Leo and his gang just so happened to turn around.

Casper initially wanted to pass them by. He could always punish them some other time.

Leo had a medical report in his hand as he and Tyson chattered on. It was then that he caught sight of Elena and, very quickly, his gaze fell on Casper who was just right beside her.

It was all because the two were standing side by side that Leo could not possibly notice one without acknowledging the other.

He did a double-take.

Casper?

Leo was overcome with rage when he met his enemy. The hatred boiling within him instantly surged upwards. Pointing at Casper, he nudged Tyson who was next to him. “There! That’s him! That’s Casper!”

Casper lightly shook his head and sighed. He had not wanted Leo to recognize him.

The jig was up. Casper spun around to face an angry Leo. He scoffed, “Well, if it isn’t the monkey who’s too smart for his own good. Wow, I wonder what you’re doing here. Generating income for the hospital, perhaps?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Leo, who was already going mad, felt like exploding when he heard Casper’s retort.

F*ck you! How dare you say that! It’s all because you beat me up, you scoundrel!

Leo grimaced as he charged toward Casper, followed by Tyson and his gang. They were clearly up to no good. Their fierce looks and sinister snarls were a dead giveaway.

“W-Who are they?” Elena blurted.

She nearly jumped in fright when she realized she was caught in the middle of a gang fight.

After all, she was just a woman. Apart from that one time when Tycoon was attacked by thugs, she had never seen so many gangsters in one place.
