Becoming the Richest Man Alive

“Can you take me to the two people after the Antique Fair ends?” Casper suggested.
Victoria shifted her gaze onto Casper’s face and scrutinized it. “Where is that pretty secretary of yours? Why didn’t you bring her
along?”
Casper coughed several times. “There might be chaos today. I didn’t bring her along because I’m worried she’ll be in danger.” He
was feeling a little fearful. Victoria can’t fancy Elena, right?
Victoria pulled out a delicate hand fan and fanned herself. “Oh, you care about your secretary so much. Why don’t I see you
treating me so well?”
Casper was covered in sweat at that point. “Weren’t you the one who stayed here willingly? And I’m staying here by your side to
give you full protection.”
Suddenly recalling Victoria’s identity, he wondered if he should pop the question that was on his mind.
“Give me full protection? Casper, you’re so scrawny and weak. How powerful can you be?” Victoria teased, poking her finger into
Casper’s chest and feeling his chest muscles.
Of course, she meant that as a joke. It was impossible for a member of a gang who could take down the entire Firewolf Chamber
of Commerce to be a useless person.
Casper, whose chest had been touched by her, did not know what to feel. Am I benefiting from this or am I being taken
advantage of?
“You know what? You’re so handsome that I bet no one will realize your real gender if you dressed up as a woman,” Victoria
added.
“Come on. Don’t make such jokes, Ms. Stalling. Why would a guy like me dress up like a woman?”
Victoria said, “I didn’t expect you to be such an old-fashioned person. It’s already the twenty-first century. There’s nothing weird
about men dressing up as women. Guess what? One of the sons of a prestigious family that is coming today is a homosexual.”
Casper shuddered. “Really? How did you know about it? I’m sure his family will try to hide this fact if they found out about it.”
Victoria chuckled. “This kind of news can never be hidden. Besides, the more prestigious a family is, the more likely it is for them
to have such individuals.”

Casper made a mental note of the information.
Victoria led him out of the main hall and took a seat in the banquet hall. That was where the bidding was going to be held.
“Apart from the antiques contributed by a few families, some people from Pine Street can trade in their antiques here, too. As
long as their items are valuable, they’re allowed to bring them in. Usually, this will bring in one or two folk antiques, which could
be the highlight of the Antique Fair.”
“Victoria’s Chamber didn’t feel like a big place when I first came here. I didn’t expect it could contain so many people.” Casper
scanned the businessmen walking around in the main hall. If he were to include the employees of Victoria’s Chamber, there were
about three hundred to four hundred people there.
“I took over the two shops on both sides and renovated them just for today’s Antique Fair,” Victoria explained. Suddenly, she
patted Casper on the back. “There, that’s the Yaeger family, one of Horington’s most powerful underground forces. They’re just a
little below the Lanes, and their second daughter married the Lanes’ second son.”
As Casper listened to her, he saw an elderly woman making her way through the main entrance. She seemed to be in her
seventies or eighties and had a crutch in her hand. One could tell that the crutch was worth a fortune at a glance. On top of that,
she had a big emerald ring on her thumb.
Standing beside her were two youngsters—a man and a woman. Both of them were good-looking, and they each had at least
one ancient accessory.
“Is the son of the Yaeger family the homosexual you were talking about?” As Casper followed behind Victoria to greet them, he
felt slightly worried after glancing at Ryan.
Victoria smiled. “No. That woman beside him is his wife, the daughter-in-law of the Yaeger family.”
Soon, both of them arrived before the elderly woman. Tony, too, had brought Winston over to greet the Yaeger family. After all,
both of them were powerful families and in-laws. Hence, it was only reasonable to exchange some pleasantries.
“Mr. Lane, why didn’t you bring my daughter, Sylvia, along?” Catherine Burton complained to Tony, looking displeased.
“Today’s event is the Antique Fair, not an event hosted by our families. Why would I bring so many people along? Are you
missing your daughter already, Old Mrs. Yaeger?”

Tony and Catherine exchanged some pleasantries while Casper listened to their conversation. Looks like one of the daughters-
in-law who looked down on me at the Lane residence is from the Yaeger family.
As soon as Ryan spotted Victoria, his eyes lit up. To be more specific, his gaze was fixated on Victoria’s ample bosom.
Meanwhile, the woman beside him noticed her husband’s behavior, yet she dared not say anything. Instead, she smiled
awkwardly and greeted the others.
“Long time no see, Mr. Yeager.” When Victoria noticed Ryan’s gaze, a hint of disgust flashed past her eyes. Still, she put on an
elegant smile, looking not the slightest bit upset.
“Long time no see, Victoria. Why didn’t you accept the piece of emerald I gave you last time? Is it not good enough?” asked
Ryan.
He spoke so arrogantly as if he had given Victoria the entire earth.
Casper was baffled. He’s flirting with Victoria in front of his wife? It’s as if the latter doesn’t exist to him. I can’t imagine what’s it
like at home when he’s already ignoring his wife in public. Based on what he saw, Casper could picture the woman’s status in the
Yaeger family.
What a bastard!
When Casper made a comment about Ryan in his heart, the latter noticed him, as if he had heard Casper’s thoughts.
It was at that moment that Ryan realized Casper’s arm was held by Victoria. He frowned at the sight. Where did this broke-ass
come from?
Surprisingly, he reached out and grabbed Casper’s arm, wanting to take it out of Victoria’s embrace.
Idiot!
Casper made another comment about him in his heart. He did not bother to be polite and swatted Ryan’s hand away.
The latter froze for a moment, as he did not expect Casper to actually hit his hand. Right then, Ryan’s reckless behavior was
activated, and he kicked Casper.
Is this guy nuts?

Immediately, Casper kicked Ryan, sending the latter flying backward. The bodyguard standing behind Tony was stunned to see
Casper’s move. It took a lot of strength to send an adult man flying backward. Moreover, Casper’s move was swift. It showed
that he was an expert fighter.
“How dare you hit me? Someone get him!”
Ryan pulled out his phone, looking as if he was about to summon someone. However, he looked so ridiculous that even
Catherine could not bear it any longer.
She yelled to stop him, “Do you think your behavior is appropriate? Step back now!”
Ryan shot Casper a glare and ran out of the hall.
“I’m sorry for not educating him properly. Please be tolerant of him. Then again, though my son is impolite, this... friend of yours
might’ve attacked a little too powerfully, don’t you think?”
Noticing Victoria holding Casper’s arm, Catherine addressed him as Victoria’s friend.
However, her words made Casper slightly upset. Your son was the one who attacked first. And now you’re saying my attack was
too strong?
