Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Casper did not expect that Giselle would try to call him while he was on the phone with Victoria, and

unfortunately, the conversation with Victoria lasted for quite a while.

“Casper, do you remember that the Antique Fair is just one week away? You have to be prepared,

yeah?” Victoria said in an alluring voice.

“Sure, Ms. Stalling, I didn’t forget about it. I’ll definitely be there on time,” Casper replied cheerfully.

“Before that…” Victoria paused for a moment before continuing, “Can you come to Victoria’s Chamber?

I have something to tell you. Don’t worry. It’s no biggie. There are some rules and requirements for

participants of the Antique Fair that I need to brief you on to help you prepare for the event.”

Casper remembered that there were indeed certain basic requirements to meet when he attended the

Antique Fair with his father previously.

Companions of invited guests were also required to meet certain conditions before they were allowed

entry.

That signified that the entry requirements for participants of the Antique Fair had become more

stringent, and it would be a gathering for people who truly had an appreciation for antiques.

That was also to ensure that the event would go on smoothly and prevent malicious people from

destroying the precious antiques.

“Sure,” Casper replied in agreement as he knew what Victoria was planning to do.

In fact, Casper had only remembered that the Antique Fair was going to be held next week when

Victoria reminded him of it.

However, he knew that they would not merely be attending the Antique Fair like they had thought. Just

like what Hector said, on the day of the Antique Fair, every gang in Horington would be attacking

Victoria’s Chamber.

Since Casper would not be making a move on Victoria’s Chamber, naturally, the Firewolf Chamber of

Commerce would not be targeting that shop as well.

However, he also needed to prevent the other gangs from striking as he had promised to protect

Victoria’s Chamber.

As such, before the day of the fair, the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce had to make some

preparations.

Casper planned to contact Stallion, Jeremy, and Robin at once.

They had to handle the situation carefully and come up with a strategy. Thus, Casper informed Stallion

that he would be making a trip to the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce the next day.

At the same time, he texted Robin and Jeremy to let them know the plan for the next day and asked if

they knew what would happen at Pine Street on the day of the Antique Fair.

While Jeremy knew nothing about it, Robin had heard some rumors from Hector previously.

“Boss, I heard from Hector that our main objective during the Antique Fair is to destroy as many

antiques as possible,” Robin said.

Obviously, the man did not know that their actual aim was to destroy Victoria’s Chamber’s reputation in

the antique industry, which had taken the shop years to build up. In addition to causing damage to its

reputation, destroying the antiques would also cause Victoria’s Chamber to suffer financial losses.

With a grim expression, Casper replied, “This time around, our task is to protect the antiques instead of

destroying them. And the focus of our protection efforts would be Victoria’s Chamber on Pine Street.”

Both Jeremy and Robin were rather shocked to hear that. What they did not know was that Hector’s

plan was originally decided by the higher-ups and not Hector himself.

They had assumed that Casper would not be personally involved in it. After all, it was a troublesome

situation, and his involvement would not benefit the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce in any way.

However, Casper’s mind was set.

Since their boss had already made the decision, as subordinates, the rest of them could only try their

best to complete their task.

They had also arranged their next meeting, where they would discuss the details of the plan.

Meanwhile, Robin and Jeremy would be in charge of carrying out manpower restructuring for the

Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.

The reason for that was to reduce internal conflicts and promote harmony within the organization

before the Antique Fair as that would be beneficial to their upcoming situation.

After discussing for a while more, the three men ended the conversation.

Right after Casper hung up, he received a call from Giselle, who had been calling the man but was

unable to get through to him.

As a result, she was burning with rage, yet Casper was oblivious to all of that.

He thought that she was still in a live streaming session.

Casper was delighted to see the incoming call from his goddess and answered immediately.

“Hello, Goddess. What’s up?” Casper greeted joyfully.

Giselle wanted to talk to him in person, but it did not seem appropriate to do so, given that it was

already almost midnight.

When she heard his casual greeting, she could feel herself getting increasingly irritated by his

ignorance of the situation.

As such, the woman simply said in a frustrated tone, “Casper, let’s meet up tomorrow. I’ve something to

tell you.”

By then, Casper had also detected the indignation in her voice, but he did not know what was going on.

He had no idea why his goddess was acting that way, what grievances she had suffered, and what

actually happened.

Giselle had planned to talk to Casper once her live stream ended, but his phone remained engaged

when she tried calling him multiple times.

First, it was Victoria. Then, it was Stallion and Jeremy.

During that hour when Casper was on the phone with those people, Giselle had tried to call him more

than twenty times, but Casper had missed all of them.

That obviously upset Giselle.

What was even more infuriating for her was that the man did not even know why she was so angry.

As such, she also felt hurt at the same time.

She was fuming mad all by herself while Casper was totally unaware of her feelings and what he had

done to offend her.

Casper could tell that his goddess was not happy. Even though he did not know the reason, his priority

was to appease her anger. And so, he apologized right away.

“What happened to my goddess? Did I do anything to upset you? If I did, you have to let me know. I’ll

make amends immediately,” Casper said sincerely.

Given the man’s good attitude, no matter how angry Giselle was, it would seem unreasonable for her to

lash out at him, and she could only swallow her rage.

Nonetheless, Giselle knew that she might have been overthinking. In fact, it was not Casper’s fault at

all.
