“Impossible! The agreement is two hundred thousand. I have a copy with me!”
Immediately, Cody searched his bag and took out his copy of the agreement.
The moment he flipped the agreement open, his eyes widened in bewilderment. The number on his
copy was one million as well.
“But I only took two hundred thousand. And one hundred and eighty thousand is fake!”
At that instant, Cody came to the realization. “You liars! You used twenty thousand to bait me!”
Those men from the Firewolf Chamber displayed an evil smile. “Fool. Isn’t it too late for you to realize
now? This agreement is legitimate, so by law, you owe us one million now. The bank slip of the twenty
thousand is the proof. Even if we cheated you, there’s nothing you could do.”
Right then, Hilda could not suppress her wrath anymore. “Nonsense! I’ll call the cops now!”
The members of the Firewolf Chamber burst into laughter. “Are you kidding me? Who do you think the
cops will believe? We have a legal agreement with us, and we’re merely fulfilling our rights. If you want
to go to court, I’m afraid you’ll end up losing this house to us.”
Just as Hilda’s expression turned desperate, another man uttered, “Not to mention that you’re locking
someone up in your house. You’ll get at least three months of sentence with illegal detention. Well,
maybe it’s a good option since you’re about to lose your home too.”
“How… how did you know that?”
Hilda was beyond shocked upon hearing that. “That’s my daughter, and it’s my freedom on how to
educate her. It has nothing to do with you guys!”

“Of course, it has nothing to do with us. But I’m not sure what the judge will think. Well. Just call the
cops then. We’ll do it if you don’t!”
Seeing the man taking out his phone, Hilda recklessly rushed toward him, trying to snatch his phone.
Enraged, the man pushed her away and slapped her.
“Are you trying to play violence with me? Do you think we are kind souls?” The man said with menace,
with no intention at all to show mercy for an old lady.
Casper, who was witnessing everything in secret, had started to worry a bit. His men were indeed good
warriors in combat, but he feared that they would eventually develop into some inhuman character
without empathy.
“An association could be used to deal with another association or evil forces. But they should never be
used to go against ordinary citizens. If I’m not able to tame them, at least I have to keep them under
control.”
With that in mind, Casper decided to abolish the protection money system after this. After all, there was
just a few hundred thousand of monthly income. He figured they should be going after something more
extensive, for example, another mafia gang.
At the moment, Hilda and Cody recoiled in extreme fear as they began begging the Firewolf Chamber
to let them go. Seeing the timing was right, Casper lifted his feet and walked in.
“It’s you…”
The instant Hilda spotted Casper; she seemed to have understood something. But before she could
open her mouth, all the Firewolf Chamber members at the scene went up to surround him.
“So are these your men? What do you want from us?” Hilda started to express her indignance. Casper
ignored her thoroughly while turning to Jeremy. “Go and find Ms. Amelia. And find a lawyer to sue
them. Keep an eye on them until they receive the legal subpoena. Don’t let them flee before that.”
Hilda paled in fright, as she knew it would be all over if she lost grasp of Amelia. “Alright. I got it. Do you
want that b*tch? I’ll give her to you if you destroy the agreement and pay us five hundred thousand.
Then we will never disturb you and Amelia again.”
Only then did Casper lift his head and look at Hilda. “Ms. Hilda, are you dreaming? The control is in my
hand now. What makes you think you could bargain with me?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Casper continued, “When the first time I offered two hundred thousand to see
Amelia, you should have named a price back then. But you were too greedy. Thus you left me with no
choice. Now you know that not only am I a billionaire, but I also have both legal and underground
influence. I could have you dead in a hundred different ways without any legal consequence.”
Just then, the Firewolf Chamber members chimed in. “Boss, why are you talking sense with them?
They owe us one million now. Just let them pay back slowly. Collecting debt is our expertise. If she
dares to drag it, we’ll turn all their rice into shit.”
By that time, Cody was beginning to break down mentally as he grabbed Hilda’s arm desperately.
“Mom, I don’t want to feed on shit, please!”
“What do you want exactly? What if you take Amelia, and we’ll call it even. Okay?” Hilda continued to

“You’ve been calling Amelia b*tch for years, yet how much money has she earned for you all this
while? It’s reasonable for me to take some back from you. Don’t worry. I won’t rush you to pay it back.
With a job, it’ll be easy to pay back around thirty thousand a year. Besides, you could sell all the
unnecessary stuff in your house. Look at the luxurious lifestyle you’re having now.”
Casper took a glance at the AJ sneaker on Cody’s feet. “Sell those too. You won’t miss them when you
can only afford instant noodles every day. And quit the computer games. You’ve no talent in it.”
Feeling humiliated, Cody feigned a discontent look at Casper. To his startle, Casper cast a heavy slap
on his face abruptly. Hilda rushed to protect Cody but did not dare to fight back.
Clearing his throat, Casper spoke again, “If you dare to look at me like that, the debt won’t be only one
million. And remember. Don’t go and find Amelia ever again. Or else, it won’t be just these few people
coming to your house. Secondly, don’t ever think of bringing this to court. You have no money and no
influence. So there’ll be no chance for you to beat me. Just keep your head down and find a decent
job.”
By then, Casper’s men brought down Amelia. She bawled her eyes out the moment she saw Casper. “I
know you’ll come for me…”
Staring at Amelia’s miserable appearance, Casper got beyond exasperated. “The two of you, apologize
to Amelia now! Or else I don’t know what I would do!”
Amelia cast a glance at Casper, wanting to stop him. But deep down in her heart, she knew she should
not be so softhearted anymore.
