Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 290

He did not hear anything from the man anymore. Perhaps, the man had already returned to the starting point, which was too far away for Eugene to hear.

Thankfully I only need a small jump to get over this.

Eugene exhaled slowly. Thinking about the man encouraging and supporting him from behind made his heart fill with courage. Bending down on his calves, he leaped and managed to land on the balcony, which was the endpoint.

“I’m coming now!”

At that point, Eugene’s face was teary. As his calves released all the tension from the high anxiety state abruptly, they started to cramp.

Clenching his teeth and bearing the pain, Eugene stood up. It was the first time he realized that there were still good souls in this world. He had made up his mind to use the twenty million that he had just won to clear that poor man’s debt. He also intended to give another million for him to start afresh, thinking that the man could quit gambling for his son’s sake since he could already overcome his fear of death for his son.

Eugene looked toward the mansion opposite, wanting to tell that man the great news.

However, no matter where he looked, whether it was on the iron bridge or the balcony, he could not see anyone.

What? Did he leave already? Eugene was confused. Suddenly, a huge shadow loomed over his heart as a thought flashed through his mind. Did he fall off…

He quickly refuted his thought. Impossible. If he fell, he would have screamed. Even if I were as focused as possible, I would have heard at least the echoes between these two mansions.

In the past, he had seen someone jump off a seven-story building after becoming bankrupt from gambling. That person started screaming shortly after jumping off. The firemen providing assistance at the scene also said that every single person they had seen jumping off buildings regretted it right after doing so and would scream throughout until they made contact with the ground. Sometimes, because the building was too tall, people at the bottom would only hear a splat without the screaming.

The organizers walked up to the balcony. They seemed somewhat unhappy at Eugene’s victory.

“Congratulations on being the only person who took on the challenge and survived.”

Eugene frowned. “The only person? Where did that man just now go to?” This time, he suspected that he was hallucinating. Perhaps, that person was just an illusion of his own fear.
