It was like Benjamin had heard those last words. He quickly connected his phone to the huge screen behind him, and he selected those pictures of Max in the hospital bed, allowing the whole class to see them on screen.The students felt elated that they could see the pictures with their own eyes, and they thanked Benjamin in their hearts.A couple of seconds later, the students began giving their verdict as well.“Hey, those pictures don't look fake at all.”“Yeah! If they were AI-generated, I would have definitely known by now.”“Yeah, look at him and the surroundings. I have been inside the Health-Bind Hospital buildings before. Those walls…..their private rooms are really designed like that.”Just like that, Andrew, Alexa, and Professor Blanca found themselves on the minority side. Their accusation had become void as so many voices were confirming that Benjamin wasn't being deceitful with his claims.“Fuck! He came prepared.” There was a thick wave of resentment in Andrew's words as

Benjamin wasn't done as he spoke with confidence. “Of all the other students who presented before me, you waited until they were done before you corrected them. I expect the same level of respect from you, Professor.”He then glanced down at the necklace he had on. “As for my accessories, it doesn't make any sense that you'd suddenly have a problem with it. Every other student here has something in both their wrists and around their necks. Why do you only seem to have a problem with it when it comes to me?”“You……Benjamin, watch your tongue!” Professor Blanca had turned into a blabbering mess, as she hadn't been spoken to like this in years.Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “Why should I watch my tongue? I don't believe I've said anything out of reason. As a student, whose grandmother struggled through hell to pay his academic fees, I'm allowed to exercise my rights to the fullest if I see fit.”Professor Blanca felt utterly humiliated on the spot. She was so shocked that she could barely

Benjamin began walking towards Andrew. “Sometimes, you really don't think before you start yapping.”Andrew felt his heart racing as he saw Benjamin getting closer to him, but he put on a facade of bravery. “What?! What will you do if I don't shut my mouth?!” He scoffed. “Benjamin, you suddenly think you're untouchable just because you won that bet against me last week?! Don't forget that no matter what, you'll forever be an abandoned orphan who grew up in the slums. The ugly mud of your origin will never be washed no matter where you go!”Andrew was loudly saying these words and the whole class couldn't help but watch the drama unfolding.Andrew sneered as he wasn't done. “As for that money you got from winning a lottery, it's only a matter of time before it runs out. By then, I'll be there to remind you that you're not but a speck of dust to be trampled on and ignored.”Benjamin suddenly rushed the rest of the way, his face conveying what could be interpreted as fury.Seeing this,

Those who had already started to take a liking to Benjamin began to trend his name on the University's website, calling him a rising fashion icon. Benjamin was quite surprised when he saw that they were already ranking him in the top ten of the most fashionable men on campus. What these people didn't know was that Benjamin had settled for the ‘cheapest’ clothes and accessories he could find in his walk-in closet.He could only imagine what would happen once he started revealing the more expensive outfits he possessed.There was something that bothered Benjamin though. Knowing how people on this campus, like any other area of society, thrive off of juicy gossip, he wondered why he's barely seen a post of the video where he beat the shit out of Andrew.Benjamin had seen his fellow coursemates clearly recording the incident on their phones. In an era where views on social media have become as important as water to sustain one's life, it made no sense as to why there haven't been any p

Around that time, Benjamin glanced out the tinted windshield of the Bugatti as Anthony drove him home. He had noticed Anthony glancing at him multiple times through the rearview mirror.Benjamin had ignored the stares at first but it began to bother him.“Anthony, just say what you want to say. Your stares are making me feel a bit violated.”A look of guilt quickly appeared on Anthony's face. “I'm sorry, Young Master. I didn't mean to bother you like that.”Benjamin sighed as he stared back at his driver through the rearview mirror. “You want to talk about what happened at home right? The reason why those soldiers were treating you with disrespect.”Anthony kept his gaze on the road as he nodded. “Only if you'll allow me to give my side of the story. If you feel repulsed by my presence after that, I promise that I will act accordingly.”“You'll act accordingly,” Benjamin repeated those last words with a raised eyebrow. “What does that mean?”“It means I will resign effective immediate
