Casper could tell that Robin was about to cave.

“I know that your heart belongs to the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. As I have promised earlier, nothing will change if you’re willing to stay. I genuinely believe in your abilities, and you don’t need to worry if I have any ulterior motives. There will only be a change in the leader of this chamber, as I will not remove anyone from their existing positions. You can remain with this gang and continue exploring your interests. I always make good on my promises.”

With that, Casper left his phone number with Robin and handed the situation over to Stallion.

He left the Buddy Internet Cafe soon after, and the battle over the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce came to a close.

Something still niggled at Casper’s mind.

He called Hector back to the Buddy Internet Cafe. “Enlighten me on something.”

“What is it?” Hector asked.

He sported half a head’s worth of gray hair in two days, and it looked like someone had kidnapped his soul. Exhaustion was inherent in every corner of his face.

Casper almost offered to keep Hector in the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce at the sight of his haggardness. However, he stopped himself.

He knew better than anyone that not everyone should stay.

This thought jolted Casper from his moment of compassion.

“I heard that the Firewolf Chamber was interested in the antique industry of Pine Street,” said Casper.

Hector’s face changed at the mention of Pine Street.

I was right. The gangs in Horington aren’t interested in Pine Street merely from coincidence or a common interest in antiques.

Hector looked at Casper meaningfully as a bitter smile appeared on his face.
