Adam remained quiet, but the other kidnapper was so scared that he was petrified. He never wouldâve guessed that Casper actually had over forty thousand with him.
Shoot! If I had bought his words, would I be rewarded with the money like Jeremy was?
The kidnapper couldnât help regretting his decision.
Unfortunately, there was no longer anything he could do about it. All that was left was for him to endure his terrible fate.
âBuddy, we lost this time, and we admit defeat. How about we transfer all our money to you? Will you let me go just this once?â asked Adam.
His tone made it sound like he was buttering Casper up.
He had been a thug for years, and his missions hadnât always been successful. However, he knew to bow down and admit defeat whenever he failed.
He was quick to make his decision and was willing to make sacrifices for his future well-being. That was why Adam was able to survive all those years.
He was a natural trickster.
Casper knew what Adam was doing, and why the latter was doing all that. That being said, Casper was not an idiot. He would not let his enemy survive long enough to retaliate.
In a way, Casper was naturally vicious, so there was no way he would agree to Adamâs terms.
Nonetheless, it didnât mean that he would mind having some extra money on him.
Casper grinned and said, âOkay. Letâs see if you can afford to save your own life.â
Adam stiffened and grinned before asking, âHow much do you think will suffice?â As he spoke, he gritted his teeth.
âHow about five million? Do you think that your life is worth that much?â asked Casper as he grinned at Adam.
If at all possible, Adam truly wished that he could stand up and strangle Casper immediately.
Five million? Why donât you just rob a freaking bank while youâre at it? That is almost equivalent to my lifeâs savings. My gosh, why donât you just kill me directly?
âHereâs the thing, buddy. Five million is a little out of my league. I donât have that much on me. How about I pay a little less?â asked Adam in a troubled tone.
âOh, okay. So you donât think youâre worth five million. Huh, And here I thought that your life is precious.
Who wouldâve thought that youâd see yourself as such a lowlife?â replied Casper in a taunting tone.
âHaha, well, these old bones are brittle, so they are not worth much. How about I give you three million?â offered Adam.
âOkay. Thereâs nothing I can do since you donât value yourself. Transfer the fund over to me and leave on your own accord,â said Casper.
Seeing how Casper was acting like an assh*le even after getting a bargain made Adam feel like punching Casper right across the face.
Unfortunately, Adam couldnât do so. He wasnât as skilled a fighter.
Hence, the former had no choice but to transfer over half of his lifeâs savings over to Casper. At that moment, Adamâs heart felt like it was bleeding.
Still, he couldnât deny that despite being a total j*rk, Casperâs method was pretty effective. He got all of my men to leave or abandon post and easily changed the tide.
Aside from his combat skills, his strategic thinking was also on point.
Just as Adam was about to walk out of the exit, Casper called out, âWaitâ
Adam had no choice but to bite down and to withstand the pain from his broken knee. He turned around and with a smile, he asked, âIs there anything else, buddy?â
Casper spoke in an infuriating tone when he added, âThat was just my compensation. You havenât paid my girlfriend to compensate for wasting her time.â
When Lilian heard Casper referring to her as his girlfriend, she became so happy that her spirit soared.
She blushed as her eyes shone with love.
âT-This is a little too much, isnât it? How much more do you want? Iâve already exhausted my savings,â
said Adam with a grouchy expression on.
âYouâre overthinking it. Iâm not after your money,â replied Casper.
âThen what do you want?â asked Adam as he sighed a breath of relief.
âI want to cripple you,â answered Casper in the most nonchalant tone ever.
As soon as he finished speaking, Casper attacked. He was so fast that he was standing beside Adam almost instantly. Crack!
That was the sound of bones breaking. Adamâs agonized shriek followed soon after.
The remaining kidnapper was so shocked that he couldnât even manage to speak. Casper was quick to break all of his limbs and cripple him, too.
Thus, the mess that the kidnappers had caused finally came to an end.
After the ordeal, Casper took Lilian back to the university before he hurried back to his dorm.
He felt like he would die of frustration if he kept staying silent in the matter.
At the dorm.
Casper barged into the room and demanded, âIs Remy Harfield here?â
His tone was so harsh that he sounded nothing like his usual self.
Felix noticed how Casper looked a bit off, so the former quickly replied, âNo. He said he had some errands to run. Whatâs wrong? What happened?â
Casper shook his head and replied, âLilian was kidnapped today. I interrogated the kidnappers, and their description suggested that the mastermind is most likely Jessica.â
âWhat the f*ck? No way! You donât think Remy wouldâ¦?â said Felix hesitantly.
âYou guys are the only ones who know about Lilian and me. Besides, the kidnappers specifically said that they kidnapped her because she is my girlfriend!â said Casper.
âWhat the f*ck? That Jessica is such a b*tch!â growled Felix angrily. âCome on, letâs go talk to that woman and ask her what this is all about. While weâre at it, letâs get Remy back! We canât let that woman keep conning him like that. Heâll just sink deeper and deeper into the hellhole she made for him!â
âMy thoughts exactly! Thatâs why I came to ask if he was involved in the matter. This is not a minor issue and must be dealt with. Lilian was scared out of her mind.â
Just then, Remy returned to the dorm.
He ignored the two of them as usual. In fact, he walked right past Casper and Felix as if he couldnât see either of them.
Casper didnât keep quiet this time.
âRemy, did you tell Jessica that Lilian is my girlfriend or something along those lines?â demanded Casper.
Remy scoffed and dissed, âSo what if I did? Am I supposed to let you continue badgering my goddess?â
Felix growled furiously, âLilian was kidnapped today. They were after Casper! We had been keeping this a secret from you because we didnât want you to get hurt, but that Jessica Taylor only got close to you because she wanted to seek vengeance against Casper. Do not be fooled by her act!â
âThatâs enough, guys!â growled Remy loudly and angrily. âYou were into my goddess earlier and tried to get funny with her. I didnât say anything because youâre my pal, Casper, but you insist on making things worse. I canât believe that you guys gang up together like this. How can you come up with lies like these just to tarnish her good name? Donât you find your behavior utterly shameful? I honestly misjudged you, Casper. Youâre not the honorable man I think you are.â
