Becoming the Richest Man Alive

“I said, I can give you three million,” repeated Casper patiently.

It was a few seconds of awkward silence.

Suddenly, Wayne burst into laughter as he shot Casper a strange look.

“Young lad, are you daydreaming? Where will you get three million? Don’t tell me you can earn it in the future. That makes no difference at all. Since you refused to admit your relationship with my sister, why are you doing this?” Wayne chuckled. “Don’t worry about humiliating yourself. Not everyone is willing to get involved in this. You’re not doing anything wrong.”

Wayne thought Casper was trying to show off and gave him a dismissive wave.

Casper might be extremely capable of fighting, but there was nothing special about him. He didn’t seem like someone who could afford three million.

Well, even if Casper could afford three million, it was no small amount. Wayne refused to believe he would just give it to him.

“Lillian and I are just friends. I can give you three million now, and not in the future. Besides that, I have a job offer for you,” revealed Casper calmly.

Wayne was amused. “Now? Where will you get the money from? You aren’t worth that much money.”

Folding his arms, Wayne gave him a mocking stare. Nonsense. He has a job offer for me? Does he think he’s a businessman or something?

“Give me your bank account number,” Casper uttered. He couldn’t be bothered to argue with Wayne.

“Sure. It’s 64XXXXXX,” Wayne scoffed and gave his bank account number without suspecting anything.

He added, “So? When are you going to transfer the money to me?” Inwardly, he felt bad for Lillian.

Wayne had a gambling addiction. He was wading in a sea of debt, so he deserved to die. Lillian wasn’t exactly one who went by the rulebook, but he knew she wasn’t a wanton girl. She was smart and pretty, too.

To his surprise, she found herself an irresponsible boyfriend who insisted on keeping up appearances.

Ah, I shall let him make a fool of himself.

Casper was quick enough to remember the string of numbers. He fished out his fake phone and started clicking on the screen furiously.

“Done. Check your account.”

Shortly after, Casper pocketed his phone.

Wayne let out a disdainful chortle. Clearly, he didn’t believe Casper. Still, he took out his phone and clicked on the screen. To his astonishment, there was indeed a text informing him of the transfer.

He hurriedly clicked into the text and read it carefully. Upon spotting the huge amount being transferred into his account, his eyes lit up. Dropping his jaw open, he stared at the text that reads: Your acc XXXXX has received a fund transfer of 3,000,000 on DD/MM/YYYY…

“One, two, three… Six zeros! It’s three million!”

Wayne gasped in disbelief as his hands holding his phone trembled.

He double-checked that it was his bank account that received the bank transfer and his bank’s official number that sent him the text before rubbing his eyes in bewilderment.

It took Wayne a while to regain his composure. Still, he couldn’t help but stare at Casper like the latter was a monster.

“Did you receive it?” inquired Casper.

Thud!

Wayne took two steps forward and fell to his knees to give Casper a grateful bow.

“My friend… No, you’re my benefactor! I shall lick your boots willingly! Three million! Oh, my. I can’t believe it!” Wayne exclaimed excitedly.

“You don’t have to do this. I’m not giving the money to you for free,” said Casper in exasperation.

I’m younger than you. Ugh, why are you offering to lick my shoes?

“Don’t you worry. You’re so generous, so I shall be your loyal dog!” Wayne promised while patting his chest happily.

Casper was speechless.

“Wayne!” Lillian couldn’t take it anymore and hissed.

“Ahem, ahem!” Casper coughed twice before saying, “I shall arrange for you to work at my restaurant. You will receive the same pay as the other employees. If you’re good at your job, you might get a promotion and a raise.”

Wayne was surprised. “Huh? Is that it?”

This isn’t even a request. It’s a huge surprise!

“Of course not,” responded Casper coolly.

He shot Wayne an icy glare before continuing, “I shall take half of your monthly salary. Think of it as repaying your debt. How does that sound?”

“Perfect!” Wayne boomed in agreement.

“Since you owe me money and work in my restaurant, your life belongs to me. If there’s a relapse, I shall take everything away and make sure you die a horrible death.”

“Yes! I promise I won’t ever gamble again!” Wayne gave him his word.
