Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 296

Casper sighed heavily as he wondered how he always bumped into some ignorant fools wherever he ate.

He went straight to the point and asked, “What are you trying to do here? Do you think I’m a pauper? Well, that’s too bad for you, but I’ll come clean now. I’m actually a billionaire.”

Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter upon hearing what he said. From the way he dressed, Casper seemed nothing like a wealthy person.

“You’re a rich man? If you are, then wouldn’t that make me the wealthiest man in the land?” exclaimed someone mockingly from the table that Billy was sitting at. The man was clearly taking advantage of his strength in numbers to come forward to bully Casper. He continued, “All right then. Young lady, why don’t you add Billy on WhatsApp? Let’s see just what this poor fool has got!”

Lillian smiled coldly and retorted, “Why should I add him just because you asked me to?”

“Billy is a social media influencer in Horington! He has millions of fans online and a huge fanbase. Both of you had better watch out, or they’ll search you up online!” threatened the group.

Casper was a little confused by this turn of events. He didn’t understand why these men could be so brazen and arrogant just because one of them was a social media influencer. With just that as a basis, they had dared to go on and threaten others outrightly in public.

“How can you people say such things in front of this many eyewitnesses? Is a social media influencer really that impressive?” asked Casper aloud.

“Weren’t you the one that first started putting on an act? What’s the point of a pauper like yourself pretending to be a billionaire? Any idiot out there can see that you don’t have a single cent to your name,” retorted one of the men.

Casper sighed heavily once more as he wondered why these men repeatedly brought the issue around to focus on money. Do I really have to force myself to use money to prove who I claim to be? Isn’t that just the same as spending money to crush them and lord over them?

“What will you do if I manage to prove or show that I’m truly a billionaire?” asked Casper in a low voice.

“I’ll eat this table straight away if you’re really the billionaire you claim to be!”

“You’re still keeping up with this act? I’ll eat feces if you’re as wealthy as you say!”

Casper hurriedly gestured for the men to stop with the promises. He said, “All right, that’s enough. Why don’t you come up with a more realistic set of punishments or penalties? Let’s not be this unrealistic, all right? If we want to make a wager, we should at the very least bet something that we are capable of and willing to do.”
