Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Nonetheless, the man reeled in his bubbling wrath and sat down, refocusing on his task. “Forget it. There’s no point wasting my breath on despicable vermin like you. I’m here to collect a debt. So, when will you pay the one million two hundred thousand you owe me?”

Timothy’s face instantly scrunched up with rage. “You want me to pay up? Pfft! In your dreams! Besides, you have no proof that I owe you that—”

“Did he really rack up multiple wins worth one million two hundred thousand from your gambling resort?” interrupted Casper.

“Sir, that guy’s a cheat. There’s no need to pay any heed to his words—”

“I’m asking you, did he win one million two hundred thousand from your establishment? Answer the question.”

“Y-Yes. I did owe that guy one million two hundred thousand for the gambling rounds he won. However, I kicked him out without paying him back…”

That garnered a nod from Casper, who then turned toward the crippled man and said, “ Give me your Paypal account. I’ll transfer his outstanding debt to you.”

It was then that man raised his hand in refusal. “Sorry. I only accept cash, not Paypal transactions.”

Offended by the former’s arrogant demeanor, Stallion could not help but retort, “Watch yourself! Boss is a respectable man who honors his words. He won’t back out from paying you. Do you seriously think that highly of yourself to make unnecessary demands?”

Not a trace of emotion showed in the unbothered-looking Eugene’s eyes. “Your measly threat can’t intimidate me, Eugene Yackley, who has seen plenty of this world’s cruel ways.”

“How much money do you have in your gambling resort?” Casper asked Timothy.

“Are you really going to pay him?” came the latter’s reply.

“Don’t make me repeat myself again. Now, answer me. How much cash do you have right now?” Casper growled, feeling irritated by Timothy’s dawdling.

Fear coursed through Timothy as he quickly scrambled into a room to grab the money.
