Casper texted Giselle: Goddess, Iâm really sorry. An issue came up and I donât think I can come over to have dinner with you.
Giselle immediately sent a reply that stunned Casper: When will it end? Iâll wait for you.
This doesnât seem like what Ms. Clauder would say. She would usually say something along the line of âbe carefulâ. This is the first time she told me sheâs willing to wait for me.
Casper didnât know what to say. His mind was spinning so rapidly that it was overloading his short-term memory and caused a short-circuit.
Even when I was still with Kitty, she had never once said âIâll wait for youâ. Casper couldnât help but blush.
Casper rapidly typed: All right. If things ended early, Iâll definitely head over to your place. If Iâm late, Iâll let you know in advance so you donât have to wait up for me.
Even though he typed that out, he was going to make sure he would make it to Giselleâs place during the night, one way or another.
And then, Iâll do things with Goddess that only couples will do. Casper grinned like an idiot as he thought about all the different pictures in his head.
He wanted to go to Giselleâs place so badly, but Stallionâs call interrupted his thoughts.
âWeâre good to go, Boss. When should we head over?â
Casper pulled himself together and spoke. âNow.â
Twenty minutes later. Buddy Internet Cafe.
Casper, Stallion, and Stallionâs men stood in front of the internet cafe along with the people from the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.
The tension between the two sides was so thick that one could cut it with a knife.
âCasper! Letâs change location. Weâll let you know how powerful the Firewolf Chamber is tonight,â one of the men from the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce shouted.
His name was Robin Hill. He was one of the highest-ranking members in the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce, also the wealthiest. Most of the Firewolf Chamber of Commerceâs income came from him.
Despite his impressive status, he was practically a nobody.
He inherited his wealth from his family.
And he had no accomplishments worth mentioning.
He only wanted to be seen as a gangster and would follow orders the others gave him.
In other words, he was the typical rich man that didnât have anything else better to do.
Casper had never seen a wealthy person as stupid as him.
Yet, he remained the most loyal member of Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.
The very reason Robin was impressive to Casper was also the reason why Robin was the biggest obstacle to Casperâs domination of Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.
Casper looked at Robin enthusiastically. He knew Robin was going to play some tricks on his men.
Casper shook all unnecessary thoughts away and followed him.
Seeing that, Stallion and his men followed as well.
Then, they were trapped inside.
Casper plainly smiled. He knew there was something more to the location they were led to.
He lifted his leg and did a flashy kick to scare people backward. You want to trap me here and waste my time and energy? Fine. Letâs âplayâ.
As a result, some of the Firewolf Chamber of Commerceâs men were trapped as well.
Casperâs intimidation caused the situation to grow tenser.
Robin suggested, âSince weâre quite far away, how about we finish this by completing car purchasing target? What do you say?â
Casper furrowed his eyebrows. Car purchasing target? What the hell is that?
Robin looked down on Casper. How can he be a good leader to Firewolf Chamber when he doesnât even know what âcar purchasing targetâ is? I donât understand what Hector is doing. How can he just give up on Firewolf Chamber simply because he lost?
Robinâs heart sank.
He wanted to run straight toward Hector, grabbed him by his neck, and questioned him why he would give up so easily on Firewolf Chamber of Commerce and his loyal men.
However, Robin couldnât do that, and that made him even more furious.
He could barely hold himself back from beating Casper up and dragged him to Hector.
Even if I do that, what would he even say? Would he praise me for my competence or berate me for my ignorance? Robin had a hard time understanding Hectorâs perspective because he had never loved anyone before.
He didnât know what it felt like to want to protect loved ones such as family members.
In his short life, most of it was spent going around doing nothing.
He didnât know what he wanted to do, and he didnât know what he could do.
Robin was a puppet drifting in a sea with no plan for his life.
It was Hector who saved him. He gave Robin a reason to live, and Robin clung on to that helping hand since then.
However, his savior had left him. Actually, he had abandoned him.
Even then, Robin wanted Hector to return and lead the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce once more so he could have a reason to live again.
