Elena was befuddled by Casper’s thought process. How can he buy a whole street for me? It’s so dilapidated.

No one would visit this area if not for the eateries located on the street. Most of the shophouses lining this greasy street had fallen into disrepair; many of them were uninhabited after their former occupants had moved out in search of more convenient lodgings.

After he sent Elena home, Casper instructed the taxi driver to take him to Business University. He would reach the dorm at eleven if the driver continued at his current speed. The dorm gates will be closed by then; I’ll have to butter up that stubborn dorm manager.

Casper handed a wad of notes to the driver.

The driver took his cash wordlessly before speeding up. The taxi overtook vehicles on the road at breakneck speed.

“Damn, Sir, you’re the best!”
