Becoming the Richest Man Alive

As such, the three other boys turned to look at Casper, expecting him to do something about the

situation. Casper did not know how to react to that. It seemed that he had more responsibilities since

he became richer. It was not surprising that people often said that having more money was not

necessarily something good because it came with more obligations.

“Wait here. I’ll get a taxi.”

Recalling that there was an MPV in Tycoon Hotel that could accommodate all of them, Casper went

ahead to give them a call.

At that moment, Felix, Colton and Remy walked over. They thought Casper was acting oddly, so they

came over to check on him.

“Casper, is everything okay?” one of them asked.

Another pitched in, “Just let us know if it is inconvenient. We can always get the taxi.”

“Exactly. Are you hiding anything from us?”

The three boys looked at him with concern.

Moved by how much his dorm mates cared about him, Casper felt warm and fuzzy on the inside. He

shook his head quickly and assured them that everything was alright. All he wanted was to keep a low

profile.

“Ah, you made me worried. My heart was about to jump out earlier. Casper, don’t ever pull such an act

again, alright? If anything is bothering you next time, just let us know. If you make us feel distressed

again, I will not let you off!” Felix grasped his chest, jokingly acting like he was getting a heart attack.

“At least you know how to play it down now. Two days ago, you acted up, and I think the entire faculty

of finance and business administration has heard of that incident by now,” Remy said truthfully.

“Why are you pretending to be someone you are not?” Colton’s eyes lit up, and he teased.

In response, Casper waved his hand and rebutted, “Can’t I choose to keep a low profile? I don’t have

any ill intentions. Felix, I’ll say that you rented the car later, okay? For other matters, I’ll let all of you

know when the time comes.”

“If you are not comfortable with sharing, it’s alright. I’m contended to be your shield,” Felix grinned.

“Casper, you’d better be reliable and get a good car. Otherwise, I’ll be embarrassed in front of everyone

else.”

“Sure!”

Casper did want to keep a low profile and be humble. When he was penniless, he only wanted to live

his life in the shadows but was picked on by the rich. Now that he had the money, he still thought he

would be better off living life quietly.

By doing so, he could blend in with the crowd easily and that would allow him to do lots of other things.

“Actually, I hope to stay out of the limelight for a while,” Casper sighed before calling Elena to send the

car over.

Elena just went ahead and make the necessary arrangements without asking him any questions.

Casper always felt at ease to leave things in her charge.

Coincidentally, Elena had been busy with the refurbishment of the Tycoon Hotel. Knowing that they

would not require a car, for the time being, she casually instructed one of the drivers to head to

Casper’s location.

“We are aware of your intention.” The boys looked at him understandingly.

Then, Wendy and the rest came over.

Dressed in relatively cheaper clothing than the rest, Casper looked poorer among his friends.

Nonetheless, that was what he wanted.

In the past few days, he pondered over life. He did not want to act like the other arrogant boys from

wealthy families nor be a rich playboy. Instead, he decided to work hard while lying low.

When the car arrived, Felix took the lead and motioned for everyone to get into it.

“It was not easy trying to rent this car. Let’s make sure we have a good time at Terragon Hill! We can

stay for as long as we like,” Felix announced while sweeping his gaze across everyone. He even added

a wink at the end at Casper.

Meanwhile, Wendy was surprised to hear what her boyfriend said. She knew that it could only be

Casper who rented the car, but since the boys said nothing, she did not go on to question them about

it.

Casper probably wants to hide his background.

Over the last few days, she had been confused after Felix revealed Casper’s situation. It was an effort

for her to believe that the whole thing was true, and she even thought that Felix was only trying to

create a good image for Casper.

It was not until the news broke out on how Casper gave a million to a teacher, did she believe it.

Hearing that Casper even got the teacher to kneel and greet him in front of the dean, Wendy was

startled.

Now, she knew him as a rich boy with a mysterious background.

When she invited the other girls out this time, she could not explain who Casper was. As such, she did

not go into details but merely introduced Casper as Felix’s friend.

However, when they spotted Casper earlier, Wendy could tell how they felt from the scornful looks on

their faces.

On the contrary, Lillian looked calmed since she knew who Casper was.

“Oh yeah! We should spend more time there then,” One of the girls, Nancy blurted.

Although she came from an art academy, she was reassigned to Wendy’s dorm since there was no

place available in her college dorm.

With a great figure and a slightly mismatched round face, she looked like a little girl.

Since she appeared before Casper, she had not met eyes with him and treated it as though it would

hurt her to do it.

“I haven’t been out in a long time either. Terragon Hill just opened up recently, and I heard about the

sick views. There is a waterfall there too!” Another girl, Jenny, chimed in excitedly. She was also from

the art academy.

This girl had a hot and tall figure with a small face. While she did look at Casper, she had always been

looking down on him.

The last girl had a similar figure but was quiet and calm when she spotted Casper earlier. She had a

pretty name, Mandy.

Her response surprised Casper, who found her different from the rest.

Besides, Casper also spotted a hint of sadness in her eyes that reminded him of Lillian in the past.

One thing that reassured him was how Lillian initiated a conversation with that quieter girl since they

got into the car. Perhaps because they shared a common topic, Mandy also became more talkative.
