Chapter 152
Casper knew it wouldn’t be easy to wipe that smug grin off his face, but he had come prepared.
Since Hector refused to talk about Remy’s incident, Casper decided to bring up something else instead.
He pulled out a list of bills that he had Elena prepare beforehand and placed them on Hector’s desk.
“Fine. You don’t want to talk about Remy? We’ll discuss something else, then. As you already know, I may still be a student, but I’m also the owner of Tycoon Hotel.”
Unsure of what Casper was playing at, Hector kept quiet and simply stared at him in response.
“Being the owner of Tycoon Hotel makes me a businessman, and businessmen prioritize profits. Your men have been causing a lot of trouble at Tycoon Hotel a while back, Mr. Corneo. Property damage, dining and dashing, racketeering… I’ve kept a detailed record of all the losses incurred, and I see no reason why Tycoon Hotel should pay any protection money to an organization like the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce which abuses its power and exploits its employees.”
Casper made sure to add emphasis on the last sentence, and that seemed to do the trick as the look on Hector’s face grew cold.
However, Casper pressed on.
“Now that I finally have the time to visit your headquarters, I will need you to compensate us on the losses. Taking over a new business costs money, even if it is a small one like this, so I would appreciate if you’d settle the payment right away,” he added while handing Hector the bills.
The total amount of the losses add up to over five million. Let’s see you keep up that act, you old fox!
Casper thought to himself and broke into a huge grin.
Hector lost his cool after hearing that and shouted at him, “Casper, do you have any idea who I am? How dare you take that tone with me?”
Casper could tell that Hector was angry, which was exactly what he wanted.
“Of course I do! You’re the boss of the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce, and your men have cost my hotel a ton of money with the damage they’ve done. As such, I’ve come to you tonight to collect the money you owe me,” he replied seriously.
“You are aware of what the Firewolf Chamber does for a living, right?”
“Haven’t got a clue. Nothing illegal, I hope?”
Bam! Hector slammed his fist on the table furiously and glared at Casper like he wanted to swallow him whole.
“Oh, my! What are you doing, Mr. Corneo? I’m a little scared here! You’re not going to hit me, are you?”
That was the last straw for Hector, and he felt like he could no longer resist the urge to kill the man before him.
To him, Casper was practically a dead man walking at that point.
“You know what, Casper? You’re the first person who dares talk to me like this. I think I should award you for your bravery.”
“Really? Am I the first one to do that? Well, I don’t need a medal or anything, so a word of compliment will suffice,” Casper said with a hint of glee and pride.
“Haha, sure… I’ll give you the compliment you deserve.”
Hector then swung his fist at Casper, but he saw it coming and dodged the punch by stepping aside.
“Oh, my! What’s wrong, Mr. Corneo? Why are you swinging at me?” he asked with a sarcastic look of surprise on his face before retaliating with a side kick to Hector’s gut.
Thud! The kick had clearly hurt given how loud it was, but Hector simply shrugged it off and continued attacking.
Casper’s moves were so swift that he moved around like a shadow.
However, Hector was an incredibly stubborn, cunning, and ambitious man.
He had risen to his position mainly through sheer strength which he used to crush those who opposed him and led the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.
Little did he know, his greatest strength had also become his greatest weakness.
He was so confident in his physical prowess that he never used guns as he found them to be nothing but a burden.
That in turn provided Casper with a significant advantage over him.
Even when unarmed, Casper was still a highly capable fighter and had only lost to Frederick Nolan, the leader of the Wolfgang Squad in the Chanaean Special Forces.
When armed, however, he posed a challenge even for someone like Frederick.
As such, Hector had lost the moment he decided to fight him unarmed.
He was unable to land a single blow on Casper, but was receiving every single hit from him.
Eventually, Casper overwhelmed him with his insane speed and sent him flying out the office with a loud thud.
Hector shuddered in fear as he lay on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Who would’ve thought this kid was such a formidable fighter…
“Stop! Please, I surrender!” he called out when he saw Casper about to land another kick on him.
“That’s more like it! Jeez, you should’ve just said that right from the start! Go on, then. Tell me, who was it that hurt Remy?” Casper said smugly while twirling his dagger.
Hector burst into laughter upon hearing that and spat in his direction. “Dream on! I’ll never tell you, and killing me won’t do you any good because your friend will be dead in a few days anyway! After what you’ve done, I don’t mind dying if that’s what it takes to make you suffer!”
Casper then tried breaking his fingers one by one, but even that wasn’t enough to make him talk.
Huh… This old man is a lot tougher than I expected…
At that moment, Casper received an anonymous text message on his phone.
