Becoming the Richest Man Alive

“I’m very sure you only mentioned fifty thousand just now! How can you go back on your words!” Casper pretended to be flustered.

“Did I say that just now? Anyway, I have changed my mind. If you wish to see my sister, you have to give me one hundred thousand.” Cody’s lips twisted into a sly smile, contorting his fleshy face. Even so, a glint of greed was still visible in his smiling eyes.

Even Hilda’s eyes were sparkling with anticipation at that moment. It had never occurred to her that Casper, whom she thought was penniless, turned out to be exceptionally wealthy. Ah! I shouldn’t have judged the book by its cover!

She put on a smile and repeated Cody’s words, “That’s right. We will only let you see Amelia if you agree to give us one hundred thousand.”

With an exasperated look on his face, Casper glared at them and relented, “Fine! One hundred thousand is the final figure, right? So I will be able to see her after paying you the sum? I hope you’ll keep your words this time.”

The smiles on Hilda and Cody’s faces widened as they nodded in utter excitement.

Nevertheless, they were not aware that Casper had activated something on his phone. It was something that could enable Amelia to release herself from the shackles of Hilda and Cody forever.

Without hesitation, Casper transferred another fifty thousand to Cody’s account. Cody checked his account again to ensure that the transaction was successful. For the first time in his life, he felt that making money was such a piece of cake. With that, his frustration with Amelia subsided as well. After all, she was the reason Casper came to them.

When the latest balance of his account came into view, Cody felt on top of the world.
