Becoming the Richest Man Alive

With that, Wyatt closed his door and went to his bed.
“What a weirdo.”
Casper smiled before he left the house. However, as Casper was leaving, he saw two tall and sturdy guys coming closer. Also,
he felt that they were ferocious and didn’t look like students here.
As Casper glanced at the two guys, one of them glared and yelled, “Piss off.”
Casper thought about teaching them a lesson but held in his anger. Instead, he pretended to leave but followed them.
The two guys walked cockily around the university as though they were students. Casper followed them until they stopped at the
accommodation area for lecturers.
“Are they planning to do something to the lecturers?”
As Casper was deep in thought, he rolled up a book and prepared himself to act anytime. Meanwhile, the two guys made a
phone call to confirm that the one they were looking for was here.
After confirming that their target was here, they put down the phone and knocked on the door.
Casper was shocked because they knocked on Wyatt’s door. Deep down, he thought to himself that the chance to repay Wyatt’s
favor arrived so soon.
Wyatt opened the door and poked his head out. Feeling that they were probably bad guys, he wanted to close the door.
Unfortunately, it was too late, for they pushed him to the floor effortlessly. Wyatt, who was nothing but a lecturer, was no match
for the two sturdy guys. Casper guessed they would beat the hell out of him later.
Within seconds, Casper came up to the mobs from behind and hit their heads with his cone-shaped book. The next moment,
Casper threw kicks at their waists, and both of them kneeled in pain.
“Boy, you have to run!” Wyatt was still lying on the floor and wailing. Since his house was dimly lit, he wasn’t aware that Casper
already took down the gangsters. As such, he asked Casper to escape when he saw Casper coming over.
Much to his surprise, Casper replied smilingly, “I’m alright. Mr. Lane, as you can see, they’ve also collapsed.”

Casper kicked them at their butts, pushing them into the house. After that, he stepped on one of the men’s chests and said,
“You’re so stupid, yet you have the guts to abduct someone in the university? Mr. Lane, we should call the police right away.”
However, Wyatt immediately waved his hand and replied, “Don’t call the police. I think I know who they are.”
Casper murmured an affirmative response but began to guess why Wyatt got into trouble with gangsters. Could it be that he
owes someone a lot of money because of borrowing money for gambling? After all, Casper had seen a lot of people troubled by
their gambling debts recently.
“Did you guys look for me because of my father?”
Meanwhile, Wyatt sat against the wall after the two men pushed him to the floor. “Well, you got the wrong guy. Why would you
abduct his youngest son, who is insignificant to him?”
“Hey, my lecturer is talking to you!”
Since the two men fell silent, Casper stepped on one of their bodies harder. While the man wailed in pain, his partner was
frightened and held his hand up apologetically. “It’s foolish of us to have offended you. It’s our fault. However, we only followed
orders and failed this time. Please let us go and don’t ask questions.”
Casper chuckled. “Do you think you’re doing a respectable job? Why must I let you go?”
“I think I know why they are here today. After all, my family background is complicated. Please don’t make it difficult for them, for
I can’t cope with the sight of blood.”
The two men were relieved because Wyatt seemingly wanted to let them go. However, Wyatt added, “Let me blindfold myself
before you do something to them. If you need something sharp, you can get a fruit knife from the kitchen. Besides, there is also a
pair of gloves. Wear it before you act, and you won’t leave any fingerprints.”
Casper’s eyes twitched. Mr. Lane is ferocious!
“Damn it. Mr. Lane, you win! We’re here because of your father. We intended to abduct you as a warning to him.”
After they finally confessed, Wyatt heaved a sigh and said, “You are so stupid. Do you think you can force him to forgo those
bottles by abducting me? Unfortunately, he values them more than the lives of his family members. Go back and tell your boss to
stop making trouble for me.”

Upon listening to their conversation, Casper asked coldly, “Which gang are you from?”
Before they could answer, Wyatt pointed at them and said, “Many gangs go against my father. Nonetheless, I believe they are
from the Dragon and Tiger Gang. You can remove their clothes to look for their tattoos. They are undoubtedly from the Dragon
and Tiger Gang if there are tattoos of a dragon and a tiger on their backs.”
Casper turned one of them around and confirmed that there were tattoos of a dragon and a tiger.
As Casper was curious about why Wyatt knew all these, Wyatt began to grumble, “Don’t you think it’s funny that they apply
tattoos on their skin as a symbol? I mean, are they trying to make it easier for others to identify them once they get caught?
What’s the point of having them? What a time-consuming and useless act!”
Meanwhile, Casper blushed as he recalled that his friends from the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce also had a tattoo of a wolf’s
head each. “Is it the rule in their gang? I mean, such a rule serves like a corporate culture that nurtures the spirit of the gang
among their members.”
“What kind of a spirit do gangsters have? They become gangsters only for money and social status. To achieve these, they can
betray their gangs anytime. When that happens, will you believe that the symbols can persuade them to stay? If the symbols
work, why don’t they have a tattoo of Je*us to remind them to be loyal?”
The two men answered right after Wyatt finished, “I did plan to have such a tattoo. However, my back is already full of tattoos,
and I feel that having a tattoo on my chest doesn’t look good. Anyway, I’ve planned to apply the tattoo on my arm.”
Casper was rendered speechless. Are you guys here to chat? The next moment, he hit them at their necks to knock them out.
Wyatt shifted his gaze toward Casper and commended, “Boy, I didn’t think that you’re good at martial arts. You’re not bad.”
“I’m just a student. On the contrary, you’re an outstanding man,” Casper replied thoughtfully.
Wyatt let out a bitter smile. “I’m not outstanding. Being born in such a family, I’ve no choice but to learn about all this.”
Then, Wyatt stood up and grabbed the phone on his table. Nonetheless, he thought for a while and decided not to make a phone
call.
“Are you thinking of giving your dad a call to remind him that someone is going to scheme against him?” Casper could tell what
was on his mind.

Wyatt nodded in response. “I’m not sure if I should make the call. Since I was a boy, I could overcome almost all problems by
myself. However, the only thing that troubles me is the way to get along with my dad. Have you ever heard of a quote by Leo
Tolstoy in Anna Karenina—”Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its way”?”
