Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Casper showed no sign of fear. He looked over at Elena.

“Just a smartass I bumped into the other day. Taught him a lesson. And now he’s brought his men here to settle the score,” Casper explained to her, however briefly.

After that, he turned away from Elena and fixed his gaze on Leo and the rest of Tyson’s thugs. He smirked mockingly. “Hey, monkey! Do you think this is a numbers game? That if you get more men to fight for you, you can salvage your reputation?”

Leo had a well-built physique. So, to be called a monkey over and over again by the same person was nothing short of an insult. He was that close to flying off the handle.

Physically, he was much stronger than Casper. The latter was obviously the scrawny one here. To be called a monkey by the likes of him was so demeaning!

As he approached Casper, Leo’s eyes flitted to Elena instead, and, for a moment, his gaze refused to move away from her. Thankfully, Tyson realized what was going on and gave his brother a good kick.

Only then did Leo come back to his senses.

Gah! This idiot seems to lose all common sense and forget what he’s doing whenever he spots a beautiful woman! Happens every single time!

Having recovered from his daze, Leo stared greedily at Elena before turning to Casper. With the intent to provoke him, Leo issued a challenge. “Tell you what, Casper. You can have Lillian. I’m no longer interested in her. But this girl, on the other hand, is a pretty good catch. I like her!”

Casper’s lips curled into a cold sneer. So, you wanted to insult me in public, is that it?

There were plenty of people passing by the hospital. If anything happened around here, a crowd of onlookers was basically guaranteed. People were curious and wanted to stick their nose into whatever ruckus was going on. They were free anyway, might as well look for some entertainment.

Elena’s expression grew cold. She quirked an eyebrow and snapped back at Leo, “Mind your language.”

“No matter. Since you’re not his girl, you can be mine! I promise I’ll treat you better than he does!” Leo snickered.

He turned to Casper. “Hey, aren’t you supposed to rescue the damsel in distress? You can pack a hefty punch, can’t you? Let’s see how you can get out of this. I’m telling you, you’re nothing but a piece of trash who collects leftovers from the cafeteria!”

Leo took a deep gulp. Glaring at Casper in utter contempt, he fired a barrage of insults.

He had spent a great deal of effort to run a background check on Casper. He finally managed to get hold of Casper’s university records and everything else the man did. His hard work provided him with a major confidence boost.

But Leo was still wary of Casper’s incredible fighting skills, so he had brought Tyson along as backup.

And Tyson was more than willing to lend a hand. He regarded Casper as a man of little significance. A fight was a fight, and he was convinced this one would be inconsequential.

Elena did not like how Leo talked about her boss. She believed that Leo was assailing Casper with insults. If Casper were a nobody, there was no way he could have the financial capability to acquire sixty percent of Tycoon’s shares, and thus becoming the largest shareholder.

“You… Don’t you dare insult Mr. Simpson!”

Elena jumped to Casper’s defense when the man did not bother to do it himself. She glared sharply at the offender.

She could accept the humiliation thrown at her, but she could not stand by when her boss was the target of defamation.

An insult toward the boss indirectly means an affront to my job and my personal values!

Casper looked over at Elena in surprise. Her pretty face was as cold as ice. Wow, she looks great even when she’s angry.

It was then that Elena, who had just finished speaking, finally realized that they were in a very bad situation, perhaps even a dangerous one. Instinctively, she moved closer to Casper, her right hand grabbing hold of his left, as though doing so would give her a sense of security.

However, compared to the number of thugs in front of him, Casper seemed a lot weaker. He did not look like someone who could fight off all of them.

Out of the blue, Casper felt Elena’s cold hands clinging to one of his. Her delicate touch made him lose focus for a brief moment, but he managed to control himself and let her hide behind him, using himself as a shield.

“Come on, pretty lady. They won’t appreciate you. Why don’t you tag along with me? Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to a good time,” Tyson sneered.

“What are you plotting?”

Casper leveled his cold gaze at them, his tone a particularly stern one.

“Why do you want to know? Step aside if you know what’s best for you!”

Tyson stared daggers at Casper, like a venomous snake ready to strike. He raised his fist and aimed it directly at Casper’s face.

This fist packed an extraordinarily powerful punch. If Casper were to get hit by that, it would ruin his handsome face completely, resulting in a bloody mess.

“Don’t hurt him!” Elena somehow mustered the courage to shout at the top of her lungs.

Tyson’s fist was just inches away from Casper’s face, but the punch never landed.

Right then, Casper showed off his amazing skills by kicking at the trickiest angle. He managed to strike in between Tyson’s legs.

“Ah!”

A terrifying howl rang out as Tyson fell to the ground.

Inflicted with excruciating pain, he could feel his whole body twitching nonstop. He had never suffered such a quick and thorough defeat before.

Oh, the agony!

It all happened so fast that the members of the Felix could barely react in time. This man named Casper was certainly a gutsy one. He had taken a pre-emptive strike and managed to take out Tyson in one swift blow.

“Ms. Schneider, stand behind me. And close your eyes!” Casper turned to instruct Elena, a brilliant smile flashing across his face.
