Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Casper fished out a fistful of coins from the bag. “I think this is worth about a hundred. Boys, we’d better make sure we don’t shortchange them.”

He sneered at the owner of the music store. “You said the piano costs sixty-eight thousand, didn’t you? I’m assuming the dent I just made on the piano is worth five thousand then.”

The store owner paled. “N-No, it’s all right,” he stammered. “I bought it for only a little over ten thousand… Y-You don’t have to-”

His words were cut off when Casper threw the coins in the face like a bombardment of hard pebbles. He yelped in pain, flailing his arms blindly.

“Nice!” Felix and the gang pumped their fists in triumph at the sight. They each grabbed a handful of coins and threw them at the store owner as well. The novelty and satisfaction of “stoning” an adversary with money brought a rush of adrenaline through their veins.

“Keep going, guys.” Casper’s voice was tinged with anger. “I promised five thousand and I plan to deliver. We still have a long way to go.”

He and the rest continued to hurl coins at the owner, who was eventually backed into a corner and curled up into a pathetic ball.

Colton did a quick calculation. “I think that’s about five thousand, Casper.”

Casper and the rest stopped before collectively casting their gaze on Goodyear, who gave an involuntary shudder and tried to escape. His attempt was thwarted, however, by someone from the Firewolf Chamber.
