Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 274

Casper’s heart skipped a beat since ten million was not a small amount.

“How would they believe you if you don’t pay a little extra?” Eugene said.

Casper turned and was about to tell Gary to get the money, but Gary walked over instead and said to Casper, “Boss, can you even believe that? You want to give him ten million even though he hasn’t been with us for a day?”

“Never use someone that you won’t trust.” Casper believed in his own decision and told Gary to take out the money.

Gunther pointed at Eugene. “I recognized you. You were on the mafia’s wanted poster in Crounga! Wow, you’re really something to still be able to stay alive for this long.”

Eugene just pricked his ears. “I did go to Crounga once and won some money there, but that’s all I can remember.”

Gunther said to Casper, “Now I know where your confidence came from.”

Everyone tidied up when Gary came with the money and settled on a simple plan. Casper would be the first bait as the rich man, Eugene and Terrence would be the second bait, whereas Gunther and a few gunmen would just need to enter the venue.

It wouldn’t be safe if too many people were to go to the location that they would be going, so Casper ordered the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce to ambush from outside and not to come in.

The group of people then boarded the car and headed off to Horington Casino. The casino was open and aboveboard as well and was hidden behind a pub. The music outside had swallowed the cheering sounds coming from the inside. Not only that but one needed to provide a code word to be able to enter the gambling house. Someone would lead the way after that.

Casper hid everyone’s guns inside the pile of money. Based on what Eugene had said, no one would ever suspect money.

With that, Eugene and Terrence entered the place first. The pub was quite big. The monthly revenue for this place should be around millions, but the casino inside would make the most money. That was the real money squandering business. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Casper was carrying two big briefcases filled with money when he entered, and the total amount of money combined would be eight million. One hundred and fifty thousand would be for Eugene, and the other fifty thousand would be split three ways to Gunther and the two gunmen. They needed to gamble as well so that no one would suspect them.

There were many people in the pub, and the volume of the music was loud. There were also many people with different hair colors dancing on the dance floor. Casper looked around and quickly found the meet-up point that Terrence had mentioned.

However, just as he was planning to go over, his hand was grabbed by someone.

“Casper?” A woman’s voice sounded from behind him.

Casper’s heart skipped a beat with that. He never thought that there would be people he would know here. He just lowered his head and said, “You got the wrong guy.” After that, he carried his two huge briefcases and walked into the crowd.

The woman pulled on Casper’s belt after that. He was in a crowded area as well and was carrying two huge briefcases. So, he couldn’t really break free even if he had the power to.

“Who are you?” He looked back, annoyed. He was already rolling his eyes in his mind. Isn’t this Emily, Sarah’s aunt? I even pretended to be her boyfriend once.

Emily’s eyes gleamed. “It’s really you! Casper, you actually came to a place like this!” She was wearing a low-cut and short tank top. Casper almost lost his mind when he saw the cleavage.

“I have something to do, so I can’t be with you now. Can you let go of me?” Casper said.

Emily’s face fell when she heard that. The happiness she felt instantly disappeared. “What? Do you not like me that much? Am I even scarier than the devil? Why are you running away from me?”

This damn woman! I’m trying to earn money, so stop wasting my time! They already went in!

Casper was getting anxious now. There was no way he could hit her, and he couldn’t hit anyone anyway with the suitcases he had with him now.

Emily was still pressuring him. “I have a great body and a beautiful face, but I can’t believe you dislike me because I’m older? Didn’t you know that older women are more experienced?”

Emily was really trying her best since she would usually already be throwing a fit if someone dared mention her age. However, in front of Casper, she was trying her best to attract his attention.

Casper didn’t give a damn about her. What is wrong with this woman? Why is she constantly looking for me? Is it my fault that I’m too attractive? I wonder what type of guy would make a woman lose interest in them.

Then, Casper unexpectedly saw a woman dressed in gender-neutral clothes. With that, he thought of Stephen.

Well… Here goes nothing!

Casper gritted his teeth. “Stop annoying me. Truth be told, I’m not interested in women.”

Emily was stunned to hear that, but she immediately retorted, “There’s no way! You stared at my body for a long while when we first met!”

“Please, that was all an act, okay? Sis, let’s not waste each other’s time.”

Casper’s “sis” scared Emily, and she immediately let go of his hand. He quickly walked into the crowd after that, leaving Emily behind, dumbfounded. Her eyes seemed to have lost some light as well.

Casper squeezed out from the crowd and walked to a door in the pub. However, two men stopped his path and asked, “What are you doing?”

Casper was wearing a cheap-looking shirt and a pair of jeans. He was also carrying two huge boxes, so the two men thought that Casper was here to fix something.

“On the night sky of the North, there’s a cloud. The crow slips into a group of phoenixes.”

He provided the secret code. Eugene laughed the entire day when Casper first said the code out loud. Eugene even said that the owner of the gambling house was uneducated since this code was mostly used by gangs when they were robbing. But now, it had become a passcode to enter the gambling house.

Both the men exchanged glances after that since the secret code was correct. Without even looking at his face, they started checking every part of him, starting with his hands. They needed to make sure that Casper wasn’t bringing any weapons or surveillance equipment with him.

However, what Casper didn’t know was that Emily was actually following behind him. She used her gut feeling to look for him and saw two men touching Casper’s body.

She was so shocked that she covered her mouth. Due to what Casper had told her just now, the scene that she was looking at now had a completely different meaning to her.

Not only that but especially when one of the men was checking on Casper’s lower parts. “What now? I didn’t bring any weapons with me,” Casper said.

The man’s hands remained on Casper’s butt as he replied, “You didn’t know? This is a good place to hide weapons. So, we need to have a thorough check here.”

Emily just felt like she had eaten something disgusting as she retreated a few steps back. She couldn’t believe that Casper was someone like that.

“Weapons? There? Blargh!”

She quickly ran into the toilet.

After that, Casper kicked the man away from him. “Move! I’m here to enjoy myself, not to be touched by any of you!”

Casper immediately opened up his briefcase, and the two men were stunned to see the number of banknotes in the case.

Casper even took out ten thousand and threw it on the man’s face.” Let me in, now! Or I swear your boss will beat you to death when I tell him!”

The two men quickly let Casper pass through the door. They didn’t even bother checking the box anymore since the money was real. Naturally, they wouldn’t dare stop any businesses for the gambling house.

Casper managed to successfully enter the door. He had to walk a long walkway before he arrived at Horington Casino. He finally got to see what it really looked like.

Horington Casino was even bigger than the pub outside. There were three floors, and each floor was flooded with people. It looked bigger than the gambling house Dragon and Tiger Gang had. This

gambling house would be considered luxurious as well if it was in Marsingfill.

Casper did not have his phone, but both him, Gunther, and the gunmen would be meeting in the restroom. He then walked into the restroom with the briefcases. They did not notice any surveillance cameras there, but they were still careful, acting like they didn’t know each other. They passed the gun around under the gap in the toilet cubicle.

To prevent suspicions, they even went out of the toilet in order, and Casper would be the last one to get out.

Based on what Eugene had said before, Eugene would only need one hour to attract everyone’s attention in the gambling house onto him. Casper and Gunther would be able to locate him by then.

Casper then looked at his watch. Phones weren’t allowed in the casino, but expensive mechanical watches were allowed because it would be easier to spot if any surveillance devices were installed in the watch. Not only that, but the watch was expensive as well and could be used as collateral in times of need. Casper bought a few watches like these at the last minute just for occasions like these.

Casper quickly walked out of the toilet after forty-five minutes had passed and went to the first floor to change his money for chips at the counter. He took out eight million to be exchanged, and the person behind the counter was shocked to see that. After the person had checked the money with a currency detector, he then gave Casper eighty chips worth one hundred thousand each. However, after Casper left, the man quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.
