Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 212

Even after some thought, Stallion still felt uneasy. After all, Sawyer was part of the reputable Lingham family. Yet, Casper sounded like he wanted to take it out with Sawyer.

What if Boss acts rashly? Stallion thought anxiously.

Immediately, he phoned Jeremy and explained the situation. It took some time for Jeremy to process it before he finally commented, “Boss is probably fuming. From the looks of it, he might try to teach Sawyer a lesson in person. If Sawyer happens to be backed by some powerful people, I’m afraid that Boss will be in trouble.”

“Then, should I give away Sawyer’s location to Boss?” Stallion asked apprehensively.

“Give it to him because he will still be able to figure out Sawyer’s location eventually, even if you hide it from him. Since he has decided on his course of action, we should give him unconditional support.” Jeremy decisively stated before he paused and added, “With that said, you should also contact Gary and get him to bring along a few others to help Boss.”

“Noted!” Wasting no time, Stallion hurriedly carried out Jeremy’s orders.

It did not take long for Casper to receive a message on Sawyer’s location. With the address etched in his brain, he flagged down a taxi and rushed over.

Every week, Sawyer would religiously head to the spa for treatment at this timing. It was in the middle of Horington and was only visited by the rich.

As soon as Casper alighted from the taxi, he spotted the extravagant-looking entrance of the spa. Taking a deep breath, he confidently strode in.

“Sir, we can only allow members to enter.” The security guard at the door held up his hand to block Casper’s path. Eyeing Casper’s cheap clothing, he assumed that Casper could not afford the service

there.

“Move away. I’m looking for someone,” Casper growled.

The cold voice sent a shudder down the security guard’s spine, who quickly took a step backwards when his eyes met Casper’s death glare.

What a terrifying look in his eyes! Instead of a human being, he seems more like a beast looking for his prey.

The big and burly security guard stammered, “Who…are you here for?”

“Mr. Lingham. Is he here?”

“He…” How could he, as a security guard, reveal such information?

Impatient, Casper roared, “Spit it out!”

The dominating tone made the security guard’s knees weaken as he collapsed onto the ground in fright. “He is on the third level.”

With the piece of information he needed, Casper shot a look at the man on the ground. “If you don’t wish to die, you should get out of my sight this instant.” Then, he barged into the spa, leaving the security guard covered in a cold sweat at the entrance.

Trembling, the poor man at the entrance raised his walkie-talkie to his mouth and switched it on. He warned, “There is some trouble! Please send back up!”

Meanwhile, Sawyer was having a good soak in a wooden hot tub. He casually wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a towel. After he snapped his fingers, a pretty waitress appeared before him within seconds.

“Change the scented candle that is burning. I hate the smell of it.”

The waitress glanced at the scented candle burning beside the hot tub. It costs at least a thousand, yet Sawyer was not satisfied with it.

“Mr. Lingham, we don’t have anything else that is more expensive than this.” She lowered her head, fearful of the consequences.

“Is the most expensive candle the best one out there?” Sawyer’s eyes fluttered open. Glaring at the waitress, he snorted, “Let your boss know about this. He will know what to do.”

With her face flushed, the waitress quickly picked up the half-burnt candle in embarrassment and prepared to leave.

“Wait.” Sawyer made her stop in her tracks. “I have not seen you before. Are you new here?”

“Yes, I am s new employer,” she replied politely.

“You look good. On my next visit, I will request for you to serve me too.” Sawyer smugly asserted before he closed his eyes and sank deeper into the hot tub.

The girl’s heart leaped with joy. She could not believe how lucky she was to be acknowledged by a member of the Lingham family. The family was one of the wealthiest in Horington, and there was plenty to benefit from servicing one of them. Who knew, she might end up being part of the family if she spent enough time with Sawyer.

At that moment, the door flung open, and two men in black suits rushed in. Taken aback, the waitress stared at them in confusion. Aren’t they Mr. Lingham’s subordinates? Why did they barge in here all of a sudden?

“Sir, you should leave now!” one of them cautioned.

There were cuts on both their faces, indicating that they were in a fight earlier. Ah! The waitress let out a sharp scream when she turned to look at the door. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Out of nowhere, dozens of subordinates hired by the Lingham family had fallen limply to the ground, and she could hear a brawl occurring outside.

Aware that there was trouble, Sawyer frowned and quickly got out of the hot tub. He wrapped himself in a towel and allowed his subordinates to escort him to safety.

“We can’t exit from the main door, and the rest will only be able to hold him off for a while. Sir, I think it will be best for you to escape through the window.”

Looking out of the window, Sawyer panicked. “This is the third floor! How am I supposed to jump down from here? Aren’t all of you well-trained enough to stop him from coming in? How many other people does he have with him?”

“He came alone…” His subordinate stuttered before looking back anxiously. “There isn’t much time. Sir, please come with me.”

The same subordinate pushed the windows open and glanced around before he suggested, “Sir, you can use this pipe to support yourself down.” Then, he gestured to his colleague and added, “Don’t worry. Both of us will hold him back and give you the necessary time to leave.”

Sawyer’s throat turned dry. How did that one person beat all my men? Who the hell is he?

Without time to spare, he decided to flee first.

“Where the hell do you think you are going, Mr. Lingham?”

They heard Casper’s growl from the entrance. Shocked, the two subordinates in the room turned their heads in his direction almost immediately. They could not believe how quickly he managed to defeat their captain.

“Your captain’s skills are not too bad. I’m guessing that all of you have trained in the military base, am I right? Since all of us were soldiers, I’ll give both of you a chance. If you can give up protecting this man, I will let you live.”

Casper spoke with a straight face.

The two men exchanged looks. Clutching their fists, they firmly insisted, “Thank you for your goodwill, but we are loyal to Mr. Lingham. It is our duty to protect him.”

With that, they lunged towards Casper. A fight broke out, and within minutes, Casper threw the two men across the room. They hit the walls with a nasty crack sound before sliding off it like a doll.

Evidently, he was very strong.

Casper dusted his hands and casually made his way to Sawyer. As though he was picking up a small pet, he yanked Sawyer away from the pipe he was grabbing.

“Casper, please calm down. What you are doing is illegal!”

Sawyer’s voice trembled. The piece of cloth that covered him dropped from the third floor to the ground floor when Casper pulled him back, and he was completely naked now. Yet, that was the least of his concern. He was too terrified after seeing the lasers shooting out from Casper’s eyes.

“You have crossed the line, and you will have to pay the price for it.”

Casper carried the naked man to the hot tub and dunked his head into the water.

“You should never have laid a finger on Giselle!”

Sawyer, who could not breathe, started to struggle. His hands desperately grabbed onto Casper, but it was to no avail.

Seeing how Casper was on the brink of killing Sawyer, the one person watching him from the shadows felt like he had no other choice but to stop Casper physically at some point to prevent him from making a mistake.

Thankfully, Casper never thought of taking Sawyer’s life. He only wanted to give the other man a scare. Estimating that it was long enough, Casper finally lifted Sawyer’s head from the water. Water sprayed out of the latter’s nose and mouth as he struggled to breathe.
