Receiving Tristanâs command, the two subordinates rolled up their sleeves and shot icy looks at Casper, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch.
âDude, chill. Iâm just voicing out my opinion.â Casper cast a glance at Tristan, feigning ignorance. âIf you donât want to hear it, Iâll keep my mouth shut.â
As for the fierce-looking muscular men in front of him, he could not care less about them. Currently, he had his eyes fixed on Tristan. This b*stard has been using the power of Firewolf Chamber to attack his savior unscrupulously. Nevertheless, I believe Steed has a Plan B in tackling Tristan. Otherwise, he wouldnât have chosen to meet Tristan alone in the office.
Despite Casperâs protest, Tristan did not want to hear any more from him. He gritted his teeth and shouted to his subordinates, âThrow him out! Now!â
âWhy donât you let me watch this fascinating show? This is just like a modern adaptation of the fable, The Farmer and the Viper. Donât you think that itâs interesting, too? You should let me watch this play.â
Casper continued to act goofy.
He wanted to provoke Tristan on purpose so that he could have a reason to beat them up in front of Stallion and his father.
Besides, he also did not want Sands Project to fall into Tristanâs hands. It has such a strategic location.
If I can have a share in it, Iâm sure I can reap substantial profits from it.
Tristan rammed his fist into the armrest, the veins on his forehead throbbed with exasperation. âAre you two deaf? Take him down!â
âYou donât get to do whatever you want here. This is my place.â Steed could not stand Tristan anymore.
âTristan, what he said is true. Youâre indeed the same as the viper in the fable!â
âViper? I donât care if Iâm a serpent or not. You have to sign this today!â Tristan roared, staring at Steed intensely. A moment later, a smirk surfaced on his face as he fished out a few photos from a document holder and hurled them onto the desk. âYou wouldnât want your son to get into trouble, do you? Do you know heâs been using the name of Firewolf Chamber to collect protection money recently? Did you enjoy yourself, Stallion?â
Before Stallion could answer him, Steed exclaimed, âWhat do you mean? These photos donât mean anything.â
As he spoke, one of his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. It was clear as day that he had no idea about his sonâs misdeed. Although he was infuriated, he composed himself and kept his cool.
âYes, they donât mean anything, but, for some, these photos might mean a lot.â Tristan flicked a disdainful look at Stallion. âOld man, if I pass these to the police, your son will probably be convicted and become a criminal. If I were you, I would sign this as soon as possible. Your useless son is more important, isnât it?â
âY-youâ¦â Steed shook like a leaf, his fists clenched tightly.
âIâll bear the full responsibility of it,â Stallion growled, giving Tristan a fierce glare. âDonât Firewolf Chamber do it as well? You guys even physically assault them if they refuse to give the money!â
âWhere is your evidence? If you have none, I can sue you for slander.â Tristan snorted, looking down his nose at Stallion.
No doubt he knew about the criminal activities Firewolf Chamber of Commerce had done recently.
Even though many were affected, no one dared to report them due to their notoriety.
The reason they could act with such impunity was because of the support they had from the powerful forces behind them.
His brazen statement and attitude totally infuriated Casper and Elena.
Isnât the wrecking of Tycoon the work of Firewolf Chamber? This guy is absolutely shameless.
Seeing Tristanâs arrogant attitude, Casper interrupted again, âHaha, this play is really engrossing.
Tristan, the Viper, has finally revealed his fangs. I wonder what happens next.â
He paid no mind to Tristanâs furious expression and continued, âOh, by the way, I heard that you wanted to buy Sands Project with five hundred thousand. Can you give it to me if I pay you six hundred thousand?â
He sounded as if he was not intimidated by the power of Firewolf Chamber of Commerce.
âDo you have a death wish?â Tristan finally realized that Casper was not only making trouble on purpose but also picking a fight with him. Ultimately, he waved his hand and squawked, âYou two, donât let him leave here alive!â
âYes!â The two brawny brutes clenched their fists, and the muscles on their arms bulged menacingly as they sprinted toward Casper and swung their fists toward his head. If the punches were hit spot on, he would definitely suffer severe traumatic brain injuries and need to be sent to the emergency department right away.
Thump! Thump!
When their fists were about five centimeters from Casperâs head, Casperâs fists struck upon their heads so heavily that they saw stars instantly.
Not giving them any chance to fight back, he bashed them over and over again. Before the others could react to the sight, the two subordinates of Tristan had rendered powerless as they sprawled across the floor, wailing in pain.
âMust you all force me to take action?â Casper dusted his hands and headed over to pat Tristan on his shoulder. âOh, by the way, why did you bring only two men? Where are the rest? You might as well call them out at once. Letâs not waste any more time, and let me settle all of them in one go. I was initially here to watch a show, but since you forced my hand, donât blame me for hurting your men.â
âW-Who are you? Donât you fear to face wrath from Firewolf Chamber?â Tristan stuttered in fear.
The two subordinates he brought were once boxing champions, but Casper had defeated both of them in mere seconds.
This guyâs combat skills are beyond formidable. Is he a monster?
âHuh? Of course, Iâm scared. Even my heart is racing out of fear now.â Casper patted his chest lightly with a feigned frightened look. âIâm just here to watch a play, remember? Oh, Iâm interested in Sands Project as well, but Iâm different from you. Iâm here to establish a collaboration, not snatching the project.â
âOh, okay.â Tristan nodded in reply.
However, he was no fool. Knowing that Casper was an exceptional fighter, he smiled obsequiously and said, âYouâre definitely something else. If youâre willing to work for me, Iâll forgive you for offending me just now. What do you think?â
