Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 26

Because of his noble comportment, no matter how fumed he was, he wouldn’t really lash out at anyone. Hence, he was nicknamed ‘Mr. Modest’. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Felix and the others widened their eyes in shock. The usually mild and gentle Sawyer was so pissed at Casper that he actually lost control and cursed aloud, and it was due to the reward given to an online streamer worth a million.

Remy, Colton, and Felix exchanged looks. They had only read about such incidents on the news whereby someone had supported the online streamer with gifts worth millions which resulted in an angry outburst of his family member that led to death. They had been very disdainful of such behaviors, but they had never expected that Sawyer would actually do the same.

Most importantly, Casper also did that. Is our imagination really stifled by destitution?

“Sawyer, can it be that you’re mistaken? How can such an impoverished soul like me reward an online streamer with millions worth of gifts? Who’s that Giselle you mentioned? Is she pretty? Did you really spend a million on gifts for her? You must be very rich,” Casper took a sip of the tea served and licked his lips in satisfaction as he replied impishly.

Of course, Casper would never confide in Sawyer the actual reason he rewarded Giselle was that he had deemed her as his future wife. Hence, even if he had to spend two million, he was willing to, let alone a million worth of gifts.

Nevertheless, to Sawyer, it was utterly different. He lost over six hundred thousand in just the glimpse of an eye, and he would have topped the rewarder leaderboard easily in the first place without having to pay such a high price if it wasn’t for Casper. On top of that, he was confident that given some time and effort, Giselle would be moved.

In this world, there’s not a woman who cannot be bought with money.

If there is, that would mean that the amount offered is too little, and the man isn’t generous enough!

Sawyer had never failed to hook up with any used-to-be chaste woman with this trick of his.

“Casper Simpson, aren’t you a Simpson? That Mr. Simpson who appeared out of nowhere in the live stream is also from Business University,” Sawyer’s face darkened as he glared mockingly at Casper and asked.

“Although Simpson is not a particularly prominent surname now, it is very common. How can you be so certain that I’m that Mr. Simpson in the live stream? Look, the value of everything that I’m wearing now doesn’t even add up to a hundred. My phone is also an outdated model which cost only five hundred, and I had to scrimp and save to afford it. How can such a hard-up person like me spend in that way?” Casper froze for a brief second and continued in a timid and petty manner.

The way he looked in that instance was in no way comparable to that of the well-off.

Furthermore, Felix and others were very cooperative and acted as though they were some country bumpkins stuck in the city, and everything seemed new to them. They drank the tea like they were boozing. From the second they were there up till that instance, three pots of premium Earl Grey tea were drunk up by them.

“Earl Grey tea, please!” Just then, Felix called out, and immediately, a server came in, taking away the pot and replacing it with another pot of premium tea.

Felix’s loud and clear voice gave Sawyer a shudder. This jerk of a follower of Casper is drinking a pot after another. Is he ever going to stop?

Nevertheless, he had no time to pay attention to Felix and the other two men, so he shifted his gaze back at Casper.

“Is it really not you? That Mr. Simpson made me lose six hundred thousand. It’s a score yet to settle. Also, let me tell you, Giselle is mine!” Sawyer forced the words out of his bared teeth as he fixated his eyes on Casper with a gloomy face.

If it wasn’t because of the potential adverse impact, Sawyer couldn’t wait to rumble with Casper. It’s exasperating!

“Oh, really? I think you’re just one of her many admirers. If you announce it through the campus broadcast, I’ll regard you as a real man. It’s meaningless to tell me all these.” Casper was indeed a slayer with his words. A fatal blow was cast on Sawyer in just a few sentences.

“You may leave now,” Sawyer didn’t want to spend another second with Casper, so he asked them to leave.

He knew all too well that even if he compelled Casper to stay, he would be resolute and calm as a lake, and Sawyer wouldn’t be able to get what he wanted. Instead, it would only make his blood boil and rush to his head, driving him even madder.

“Haha, since you’ve invited us over for tea, we should at least finish this pot of tea before leaving. Forget it. I better just go with takeaway. Colton, where’s the tumbler you brought? Come fill it up with this tea and bring it back to the dorm. This pot of tea means nothing to Sawyer but we shouldn’t waste any bit of it,” Casper uttered as he turned to Colton, totally disregarding Sawyer whose face was so gloomy it might just rain out of it.

“Sure. I think this Earl Grey tea is delicious, too. I’ve never had it before. Thank you for such a good treat, Sawyer.”

Colton hurriedly took out a large tumbler and emptied out the water in it. Then, in front of Sawyer and everyone present, he filled it with all the Earl Grey tea from the teapot, pouring every last drop of it into the tumbler.

“Well, thank you very much for the tea, Sawyer. We shall get going and not spoil your pleasure further. You don’t need to see us off; we’re all from the same university. We can do without the pleasantry.” Casper got up from his seat and waved at Sawyer deliberately, looking very well-mannered.

As soon as Casper and his friends left, Sawyer could no longer suppress the fury within himself and slammed his fist forcefully on the table.

“Son of a b*itch!” Sawyer cursed.

“Sawyer, cool down, don’t sink to that tramp’s level.”

“Is he really not the Mr. Simpson online? Did we really get the wrong person?”

“Sawyer, should we send someone to teach Casper a lesson?”

Sax, Frank, and others quickly comforted Sawyer, and each started giving his own opinion.

“Let’s probe into this and ignore that tramp for the time being. Hmph, I’ve lost over six hundred thousand; of course, I’ll not let the matter rest. Besides, Giselle belongs with me!” A ferocious glint glowed in Sawyer’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and uttered.

In the meantime, a vicious plan started brewing in his mind, and a spooky smirk crept up on the corner of his lips.

“Hahaha, did you guys see that just now? Sawyer was so maddened. Wasn’t it just a few pots of tea? What a cheapskate. Casper, there’s no one else here right now. Tell us, did you really reward the online streamer a million? What does that online streamer look like? Is she really incredibly gorgeous?” Felix looked around them and laid his arm on Casper’s shoulder before winking at him and asked.

That was also the matter which Remy and Colton were most concerned about, so they turned to look at Casper all at once, eager to hear him admit that he was in fact the Mr. Simpson who rewarded the online streamer with gifts worth a million.
