Derek had never seen Casper before that, so he didnât know what Casper had against him.
He did make a lot of enemies before being recruited into the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce, but none of them were as young as Casper.
As such, Derek didnât buy into Casperâs threat and nearly burst out laughing when he heard it.
Had that threat come from someone like Hector or any of the other gangsâ leaders, Derek wouldâve believed it readily.
Not only did Casper look incredibly young and flimsy, but his only dagger was also stuck on the nightstand next to Derek.
Heh, I wonder if he even realizes the situation heâs in right now⦠This guy must be a fool if he thinks he can pose a threat to me with his weapon by my side! Those who barge in here are usually after money or some stupid form of justice, both of which I couldnât care less about. Regardless, I probably shouldnât reveal that I have the upper hand here just yet.
While Firewolf Chamber didnât have the most proficient fighters, their men werenât complete pushovers either. However, Derek had failed to realize the fact that a nobody couldnât have possibly made it into his office without alerting practically everyone in the building.
âHey, kid! How about I offer you a million, and we settle this peacefully?â Derek asked.
Casper arched an eyebrow in amusement. Oh? Did he just try to bribe me?
As amused as he was, Casper also knew that every second he wasted on Derek would increase the chances of errors in his plans.
âYeah? How about I pay you five million, and you let me take your life instead?â he replied with a chuckle.
âAre you f*cking kidding me?â The look Derekâs face turned cold as he reached for his gun in the nightstand. âI gave you a chance, and you chose not to take it, so donât blame me for being merciless here!â
He then cocked the gun and pulled the trigger, but Casper was faster and pulled out another dagger which he plunged deep into Derekâs heart.
Clatter!
Derekâs eyes went wide with shock as the gun slid out of his hand and fell to the floor.
Never before had he expected to meet his maker in such a way, and his eyes remained open even after he breathed his last.
Blood continued gushing out of his still body, forming a gruesome sight for the secretary beside him.
She let out another ear-piercing scream in response, much to Casperâs annoyance.
âScream again, and Iâll send you to him.â
The secretary went silent upon hearing that and curled up into a ball in a corner of the room. She wanted to leave, but had nothing she could cover herself with except the bloodied blanket on the bed.
Feeling disgusted by the scene before him, Casper turned around and walked out of the room.
The secretary let out a sigh of relief and quickly left the place that would probably traumatize her for quite a while.
What happened tonight would probably have scarred her mentally⦠Well, not that I care, though.
Weâre all responsible for our choices and actions, so she shouldâve been prepared for this the moment she chose to sleep with him.
Casper thought to himself as he made it to level B3. There werenât a lot of people around as it was late at night, and he was able to sort out the remaining thugs without any trouble.
Although that was a good thing for him, Casper couldnât help but worry that he might have come all this way only to know that his target was absent.
He soon realized that his concern was unnecessary when he saw that the lights were on in his targetâs office.
Iâve heard some stuff about Hector, but I donât really know that much about him, and that could lead to unexpected changes in my plans⦠Screw it. Iâve come too far to back out now! I have to do this for Remyâs sake!
Casper took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Hectorâs office.
âCome in!â
Hector wasnât the least bit surprised to see Casper.
âSo, youâre finally here⦠Iâm guessing youâve taken care of Derek, then?â
He said that so casually that it seemed as if he wasnât bothered by it at all.
In fact, Hector had ordered the secretary to seduce Derek so he would stay the night.
It was meant to be a form of precaution as he had a feeling that Casper would make a move that night.
He had sent Derek to see how long it would take Casper to eliminate him, and Derek died that night without even knowing he was used as a mere tool.
âLooks like Derek didnât keep you busy for long⦠What a useless piece of trash!â Hector said with a chuckle.
Everyone around him was merely items at his disposal.
Casper made no effort to beat around the bush and cut straight to the chase. âAre you the one who did that to Remy?â
Hector, on the other hand, disliked being direct and preferred to tease his opponents as he enjoyed seeing them get flustered.
âDo you think I did it?â he asked with a grin.
Casper could tell from Hectorâs attitude that he definitely had something to do with it, but he didnât have definite evidence to prove it just yet.
The only reason he launched an attack on the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce was to help Remy out and to take over their territory.
This guy is a sly fox and will be hiding in his âburrowsâ, so the only way to deal with him effectively is to get him out in the open. Guess Iâll just have to smoke him out with flames of anger!
