Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 164

“Don’t mention it. We’re buddies, comrades-in-arms now, aren’t we?” Casper chuckled.

Stunned by his words, Robin fell silent for a long while.

Hearing no reply from the other side of the line, Casper frowned slightly and inquired, “Hello? What’s the matter?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I still have some work to do, so I’ll have to take my leave first.” Robin’s voice turned a bit raspy as he said that.

“Okay. Go ahead then. I’ll see you at Firewolf Chamber.” Casper grinned, oblivious to Robin’s oddity.

With that, he hung up the phone.

Clutching his phone in his hand, Robin sat in silence for a long, long time. After what seemed like an eternity, his eyes reddened as tears began to well up in his eyes. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Snippets of what Hector told him yesterday flashed through his mind.

Robin, you’re the only one I trust and care about the most in this entire Firewolf Chamber. I sincerely hope you’ll have a great future ahead.

Although I’m reluctant to admit that the new leader is better than me, I can’t deny the fact that he is truly more outstanding than I am, so he is the suitable one to lead all of you.

Don’t limit yourself, and move forward courageously. I’m sure you’ll find discover a new, brighter world ahead of you.

That was why Robin took his advice and moved on.

What did Casper say just now? Buddies?

It’s such a foreign word to me. Heaven knows how long I have not heard this word.

Unlike Casper, Robin never had buddies and a deep, heart-to-heart talk with anyone.

Hence, it had taken him a long time to come to terms with what Casper said as he could not wrap his head around how he could be his buddy, but it was this unfamiliar concept that moved him to tears.

The sole reason he joined Firewolf Chamber of Commerce back then was to repay Hector for his kindness, and through it, he somehow found his life purpose and potentials.

Now that Casper has replaced Hector and becomes the leader of Firewolf Chamber, perhaps he would be the person who changes my life.

On the other hand, Casper did not ponder much on it. He had plenty of close friends because he always treated them the way he wanted to be treated. Therefore, if he did good to someone worthy of his attention, he believed that the person would appreciate and reciprocate his act of kindness as he was confident that there was good in the world.

Since Amelia was not around, he had to eat his lunch by himself.

After wolfing down his food, he returned to the dorm to take a nap.

There were too many things that happened lately. As he had nothing urgent to do for the rest of the day, he decided to utilize the time to recharge and plan his next move.

However, not long after, a message snapped Casper out of his sleepiness instantly. Felix texted him: Casper, Jessica said Remy was awake!

Beyond thrilled, he immediately rushed out of his room and hailed a cab to the hospital. Does that mean Remy is totally healed now?

Later, in the hospital, the moment he saw Remy was doing well, albeit a bit haggard-looking, Casper felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of him.

After everything that happened, Remy finally came to his senses and decided to stop feuding with his friends.

Even though he no longer had a grudge against Felix and Colton, he could not help but still nursed a grievance against Casper.

If they did not clear up the misunderstanding between them, their relationship would no longer be the same as before.

Thus, he was still acting cold with Casper at the moment, unlike how they were used to be.

Even his tone of voice was indifferent and lack affection.

Needless to say, Casper sensed his bitterness and could only sigh in response. He did not explain anything to Remy.

As a result, Remy did not know that Casper was the one who saved his life and that the woman he loved, Jessica, was the one who harmed him.

Meanwhile, Jessica was also in the room with them. As she saw the awkward interaction between the two, the guilt in her heart grew by the minute, threatening to eat her up.

Besides her, Colton and even the dullest one, Felix, sensed the estrangement between Casper and Remy.

Felix was about to say something to Remy, but Casper immediately grabbed his arm to stop him. His grip was so strong that Felix, who was well-known for his sturdy physique, could not break free from it.

Casper shook his head at Felix, signaling that he could handle the matter on his own.

Seeing that Felix was not going to give up, Colton also went forward and whispered something to Felix’s ear, and he eventually relented.

Just then, Jessica texted Casper: Leave it to me. I’ll explain everything to Remy later on. I’m terribly sorry.

After he read the message, he gave her a nod before leaving the room.

When Felix saw Casper going out, he hurriedly followed him out as well.

He knew that he should not meddle in their affairs, but he could not help himself. “Remy, if you weren’t my friend, I would have beat you up,” he said before going after Casper, unwilling to spend a second longer with the person who could not let bygones be bygones.

Even Colton, who had always been an introvert who was rather passive, looked at him with exasperation. “If you know about the things you had done and the things Casper had done for you, you wouldn’t have behaved like this. Remy, you’ll regret it one day.”

After that, Colton shook his head in dismay and exited the room, too.

They were close friends, so no matter what happened among them, whether a quarrel or disagreement, they would still need to care for each other.

Most importantly, they should trust and understand one another.

However, Remy did not trust Casper as he only believed what he saw and acted emotionally.

That was why Felix and Colton were deeply disappointed with him, but still, they would not give up on each other because they were the best of buddies.

Felix soon caught up with Casper and patted him on his shoulder. “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure he’ll understand after everything is explained to him.”

Just then, Colton got to them and wanted to offer some comforting words to Casper as well.

Casper merely looked at them in silence.

However, in the eyes of Felix and Colton, they thought that Casper was not replying to them because he was broken-hearted, so they quickly continued to comfort him as much as possible.

That was until they saw Casper doubling over in laughter.
