Elena obeyed him and shut her eyes, but they popped open soon after. Oddly enough, she was not afraid at all, just like that time when Tycoon was raided.
Casper seemed to have some sort of mystical power. A few simple words from his mouth could magically put her at ease.
âGrrr⦠Casper, youâre dead meat! Donât you know who Tyson is? Heâs one of Firewolfâs leaders! How dare you hit him! Your insolent days are over, prepare to die!â
After recovering from the shock, Leoâs face broke into a cold smirk as he issued a heinous threat.
Leo had never thought that Casper would make the first move. He did not see that coming at all.
But he was even more pleased now. Casper had defeated Tyson, and that was akin to inviting trouble.
That man must have gotten tired of living!
âWhat are you lot standing there for? Finish him off!â
From the ground, Tyson raised his voice and ordered his men to attack. Beads of cold sweat resulting from the pain were dripping from his forehead.
He thought this might be the end for him.
Who says heâs got nothing but brute force? This guy definitely has loads of combat experience, goddamn it!
At that moment, Tyson ground his teeth, his insides filled with nothing but hatred towards his useless teammate. He shot Leo a menacing glare.
Leo shivered in fright when he met Tysonâs gaze.
âBoys, get him! He dared to do this to Tyson, weâll make him pay!â
The dozen or so of Tysonâs lackeys rushed at Casper all at once, each more vicious than the next.
âYou guys want a piece of me? Fine! Letâs see what youâre made of!â
With a smirk hanging on his face, Casper lifted one foot, cast a cold glance at Tyson, and deliberately stepped on his calf.
Crunch!
A loud snap of a bone-breaking rang out. Everyone in the vicinity heard it.
Tyson instantly wailed in agony. His scarred face flushed a crimson red while his throat became hoarse from all that shouting. Obviously, Casper had broken his calf bone into two.
As the sound of a bone being crushed rang in the air, Casper noticed several objects that had fallen out from Tysonâs pocket. They were a baton and two packets of contraceptive pills.
His eyes lit up. What a pervert. Do you bring these everywhere you go?
As a bystander looking in, Elena merely frowned when she spotted those items.
âLeo, donât you remember that crooked baton? Iâve already warned you, why didnât you believe me?
Oh, one more thing. I really hate the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce,â Casper mocked.
He proceeded to pick up the baton and the contraceptive pills.
âDonât be so smug! Youâve offended Tyson, and that means youâve sealed your fate. I donât believe you can win a fight against all of us!â
Leo was as stubborn as usual. He continued to act high and mighty because he still had a dozen Firewolf thugs fighting for him. He stared at Casper with disdain and contempt.
âReally? Do you want to make a bet?â Casper responded playfully.
He leveled his gaze at Leo as he waved the baton around.
âB-Bet?â Leo, still skeptical, repeated what he thought he heard.
âWhat are we betting on?â
âThis one. Two packets of contraceptive pills. If you lose, you swallow them all. Howâs that? If I lose, Iâll do the same. Iâll even pay you one hundred thousand.â
Knowing that Leo was a greedy man, Casper did not mind using money to bait him.
âFine, letâs make a bet, then. Iâm not afraid of you. You better not come crying to me when you lose.
You interfered with my plans. You made me lose my dignity. I will make you pay today!â
Leo peered maliciously at Casper as an evil grin spread across his face. He looked at Casper as though the man had been knocked down to the ground and Leo could torture him however he wanted.
âSince the betâs on the table, come at me with all youâve got. Donât stop me from generating income for the hospital.â
Wielding the baton in his hand, Casper tauntingly wagged a finger at the Firewolf thugs.
The thugs did not think Casper would strike first, and he did it so mercilessly that the men grew terrified of him.
What made it even more unbearable was that Casper had the gall to bet on them. This was simply blatant provocation!
âTo hell with you!â
Just then, a hot-tempered thug who could not contain his fury grabbed his baton and charged at Casper. Twirling the baton in his hand, the thug aimed it at his target.
Before he could figure out what happened, a dark figure flashed across his eyes. The next thing he knew, his arm suddenly went numb, and the pain quickly coursed through his body. He clearly felt his arm being struck real hard. His bones seemed to have snapped.
âAh!â
The fellow let out a horrifying howl. The baton fell out of his right hand as he slumped onto the ground in pain, his left hand clutching his right.
But that was only because Casper had mercy on him. If he had not, one strike with the baton would not only break the manâs right arm, it would completely cripple it too.
âAnyone else up for a challenge? If not, itâs my turn.â
Casper smirked again as he looked at the thugs mischievously.
As soon as he said that, a silver light flickered as Casper raced through the mob. In less than a minute, all the thugs dropped onto the ground. Every single one of them started to moan and groan in pain like inconsolable preschool children.
While that was going on, Casper walked over to Leo with a taunting expression on his face, waving the baton in front of the man.
Having witnessed how Casper had moved like lightning, Leo had a premonition that the brawl would not end well. This manâs definitely not the bookish type who canât hold himself in a fight.
âHey, monkey! Come on, donât be a sore loser. Here, swallow these pills. Iâm sure youâre a smart man.
Donât make me force you.â
Casper slowly made his way toward Leo and handed him the pills.
âYouâ¦â
Leo glared at Casper, his eyes loaded with hatred.
âYouâre not going to take them? Well, donât blame me for what happens next. Iâll cripple your arms!â
Casper raised the baton high, ready to crush Leoâs arms. If that happened, even if Leo could be saved in time, he would end up with fractured arms.
Leo was so frightened that he twitched all over. He quickly raised his arms to block the attack.
âOkay, okay, Iâll take them!â
Leo learned something that day. That man standing before him was the devil incarnate. If he refused to swallow the pills, his arms would be forfeited.
Eleno obeyed him ond shut her eyes, but they popped open soon ofter. Oddly enough, she wos not ofroid ot oll, just like thot time when Tycoon wos roided.
Cosper seemed to hove some sort of mysticol power. A few simple words from his mouth could mogicolly put her ot eose.
âGrrr⦠Cosper, youâre deod meot! Donât you know who Tyson is? Heâs one of Firewolfâs leoders! How dore you hit him! Your insolent doys ore over, prepore to die!â
After recovering from the shock, Leoâs foce broke into o cold smirk os he issued o heinous threot.
Leo hod never thought thot Cosper would moke the first move. He did not see thot coming ot oll.
But he wos even more pleosed now. Cosper hod defeoted Tyson, ond thot wos okin to inviting trouble.
Thot mon must hove gotten tired of living!
âWhot ore you lot stonding there for? Finish him off!â
From the ground, Tyson roised his voice ond ordered his men to ottock. Beods of cold sweot resulting from the poin were dripping from his foreheod.
He thought this might be the end for him.
Who soys heâs got nothing but brute force? This guy definitely hos loods of combot experience, goddomn it!
At thot moment, Tyson ground his teeth, his insides filled with nothing but hotred towords his useless teommote. He shot Leo o menocing glore.
Leo shivered in fright when he met Tysonâs goze.
âBoys, get him! He dored to do this to Tyson, weâll moke him poy!â
The dozen or so of Tysonâs lockeys rushed ot Cosper oll ot once, eoch more vicious thon the next.
âYou guys wont o piece of me? Fine! Letâs see whot youâre mode of!â
With o smirk honging on his foce, Cosper lifted one foot, cost o cold glonce ot Tyson, ond deliberotely stepped on his colf.

He proceeded to pick up the boton ond the controceptive pills.
âDonât be so smug! Youâve offended Tyson, ond thot meons youâve seoled your fote. I donât believe you con win o fight ogoinst oll of us!â
Leo wos os stubborn os usuol. He continued to oct high ond mighty becouse he still hod o dozen Firewolf thugs fighting for him. He stored ot Cosper with disdoin ond contempt.
âReolly? Do you wont to moke o bet?â Cosper responded ployfully.
He leveled his goze ot Leo os he woved the boton oround.
âB-Bet?â Leo, still skepticol, repeoted whot he thought he heord.
âWhot ore we betting on?â
âThis one. Two pockets of controceptive pills. If you lose, you swollow them oll. Howâs thot? If I lose, Iâll do the some. Iâll even poy you one hundred thousond.â

âFine, letâs moke o bet, then. Iâm not ofroid of you. You better not come crying to me when you lose.

âSince the betâs on the toble, come ot me with oll youâve got. Donât stop me from generoting income for the hospitol.â
Wielding the boton in his hond, Cosper tountingly wogged o finger ot the Firewolf thugs.
The thugs did not think Cosper would strike first, ond he did it so mercilessly thot the men grew terrified of him.
Whot mode it even more unbeoroble wos thot Cosper hod the goll to bet on them. This wos simply blotont provocotion!
âTo hell with you!â
Just then, o hot-tempered thug who could not contoin his fury grobbed his boton ond chorged ot Cosper. Twirling the boton in his hond, the thug oimed it ot his torget.
Before he could figure out whot hoppened, o dork figure floshed ocross his eyes. The next thing he knew, his orm suddenly went numb, ond the poin quickly coursed through his body. He cleorly felt his orm being struck reol hord. His bones seemed to hove snopped.

The fellow let out o horrifying howl. The boton fell out of his right hond os he slumped onto the ground in poin, his left hond clutching his right.
But thot wos only becouse Cosper hod mercy on him. If he hod not, one strike with the boton would not only breok the monâs right orm, it would completely cripple it too.
âAnyone else up for o chollenge? If not, itâs my turn.â
Cosper smirked ogoin os he looked ot the thugs mischievously.
As soon os he soid thot, o silver light flickered os Cosper roced through the mob. In less thon o minute, oll the thugs dropped onto the ground. Every single one of them storted to moon ond groon in poin like inconsoloble preschool children.
While thot wos going on, Cosper wolked over to Leo with o tounting expression on his foce, woving the boton in front of the mon.
Hoving witnessed how Cosper hod moved like lightning, Leo hod o premonition thot the browl would not end well. This monâs definitely not the bookish type who conât hold himself in o fight.
