Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 25

“Why not? Let’s go. If you’re free, come and join us.”

Casper rose to his feet and let out a hearty chuckle. He wasn’t at all afraid of someone like Sawyer. If he wants to fight, I shall play along.

“A rich guy is footing the bill. Of course we’re going.”

The other three exchanged changes before rising to their feet. They followed Casper to the Weiss Lake Teahouse on their campus.

The Weiss Lake Teahouse was located behind the university’s library. It was a place where students and lecturers could relax. Besides its elegant interior, which attracted many customers, it also housed many private rooms so the customers could enjoy their tea in private.

It took Sawyer some effort before he discovered a nouveau riche had appeared on campus recently and humiliated Leo by tossing a wad of cash to him in public. Giselle was also this young man’s lecturer.

He must be the netizen who spent so much money on the live stream app for Giselle! At the thought of how his money totaling over six hundred thousand went down the drain, raw anger shot through him. I must let him know that Giselle is mine! Whoever tries to take Giselle from me will be my enemy!

“Sawyer, I don’t think that brat has the guts to show up.”

“Yeah. He’s just a nouveau riche, right? There’s no way he’ll come and offend Sawyer.”

“Sawyer, I think he’s just lucky to win the grand prize in the lottery. Look at how he’s flaunting his wealth.”

“If he comes, should we beat him up?”

Frank, Sax, and the other rich kids started discussing Casper mockingly. They didn’t even view him as a threat.

After all, to them, Casper was someone who could easily be disposed of.

Sawyer’s expression was grim. “Let’s just wait…”

Before he could finish, the door to his private room was pushed open. In an instant, it caught everyone’s attention.

Frank and the rest couldn’t help but open their eyes in shock when they saw Casper, Felix and two other young men strode in and sat down boldly.

Casper flashed a smile and uttered, “Oh? This is indeed exceptional tea. I heard you wanted to invite me to have tea together, so I asked my dorm mates to join me. Sawyer, you won’t mind, right?”

He ignored Sawyer’s disbelief expression and acted as if he was the one who reserved the private room.

Seeing their arrival, Sawyer was so mad that he nearly cursed out loud. I only invited you. Why did you bring three other people along? Do you think the tea is free here?

“Felix, come on. Have some tea. Let’s not waste Sawyer’s kind gesture. This pot of Earl Grey tea cost five hundred per pot!”

Acting like he had never tasted expensive tea, Casper filled several cups for Felix and his friends generously.

Immediately, Felix knew what his plan was. “I shall fill my stomach with the tea so as not to waste Sawyer’s kindness, then,” he announced and finished the tea in one gulp as though he was drinking water.

Both Colton and Remy followed suit and acted as though they were country bumpkins.

They weren’t even drinking tea; they were gulping it down without even savoring the taste.

A fresh swell of rage rose in Sawyer when he saw how rude they were. His gaze darkened, but he swiftly tamped down his fury.

“You’re Casper Simpson, right? You’re quite the popular guy on campus, huh? Do you know why I invited you here?’

“Didn’t you invite me to have some tea? What else could it be?”

Casper raised his head and smacked his lips as though he had thoroughly enjoyed the tea. He blinked his eyes innocently at Sawyer.

Sawyer felt the corner of his eyes twitching in frustration. Does he seriously think he’s here to drink tea while I foot the bill?

Ignoring Sawyer’s murderous look, Casper continued, “I thought the popular guy in our university will take turns to invite everyone to have tea, and it’s our dorm’s turn today. Well, I even thought of asking my classmates to join in the fun so they can see how handsome and generous you are, Sawyer.”

Sawyer parted his lips, but all he could choke out was, “I…” If they weren’t in public, he would’ve cursed Casper without hesitation.

“Are you asking me to invite the others? Okay, I’ll call my classmates to come over now.”

Casper whipped out his old smartphone and started dialing.

Finally, Sawyer couldn’t take it any longer. “That’s enough!” he roared.

“Enough? Ah, I won’t ask them to come then. We should drink this expensive tea among ourselves instead of sharing it with others.” He paused before pretending to ask, “By the way, you’re an influential figure on campus. Why did you invite me? I’m a nobody.”

Casper smirked and scanned Sawyer carefully. He didn’t even flinch when Sawyer roared suddenly.

Ha! You snob. I shall ruin your plan today! Casper snorted silently.

Hearing Casper’s words, Sawyer nearly suffocated in his fury. F*ck this b*stard! © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he had invited the wrong person. Look at him clad in a cheap outfit which is clearly cheap as f*ck. He’s acting like a country bumpkin. Is he the one who competed with me to become Giselle’s top rewarder? Can he afford to spend millions on her? I don’t think so. He must’ve won the lottery. That’s it!

“Sawyer, don’t look at me that way. You’re scaring me. I have to be honest. I’m not gay, and I’m not into guys.” Casper acted as though he was terrified and inched away from Sawyer. “By the way, I think Hank from our class is one. Do you want me to invite him here?” he patted his chest and offered.

Sawyer lost it as Casper’s incessant chatter was too annoying. “Enough, Casper. Stop putting up an act. I have a question for you,” he barked impatiently. “Were you the one who rewarded Giselle with one million in the live stream back then?”

Sax, Frank, and the other rich kids were dumbfounded by his reaction. They couldn’t believe their eyes, as Sawyer was usually a polite person. He had never yelled at anyone before.
