Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 101
“They probably know that, but they don't care.” Anthony pointed out as he glanced behind at his young master. “They're currently racing against each other to get to you first.”Benjamin smiled slightly with a shake of his head before glancing at the soldier with a wave of his hand. “Tell them that I have no interest in meeting any of them.”Even if Benjamin had no problem meeting these people, he still couldn't show his face to them as he wanted to keep his identity hidden until he was ready. This meant that Benjamin could never truly broaden his social circle until he was ready to reveal his identity to the world.The soldier was about to go relay Benjamin’s reply to these young men and women, but he never made it.“Hey, that's his car!” A young woman pointed at the Bugatti Sports car with a wide smile. “I've seen it both times it was passing through the estate gates. The young master must be in there!”Before either of the two soldiers could do anything, this group of wealthy child

Once Benjamin got inside, he went to take a refreshing bath and then changed into a full-on outfit from a luxury brand. The clothes on him are a total of $450,000. As for the shoes, he was wearing an incredibly limited edition Air Jordan, which costs $367,000 for customization.Benjamin also selected a necklace worth $3.6 million. Though the most expensive thing on him is the item he selected from his shelves of wristwatches - A Patek Philippe 1518, worth more than $11 million.By the time Benjamin was done, he was wearing a total outfit of more than $15 million.Benjamin was intentional with what he had picked. This will be his first time appearing at Elites Domain University as a new person. The last time he showed his wealth, he was still dressed like his old self - a young man from the slums of the city.Things were different now, and Benjamin needed to show the world exactly how much he had changed.With all that being said, Benjamin chose not to select the most expensive outfi

“Thank you, Young Master Benjamin.” There was an expression of relief on Lia Locks’ face. “The trouble today would have been harder to dispel if it wasn't for those soldiers from the prime estate.”This immediately brought the reminder to Benjamin’s mind. “Oh, that's right! I never expected them to show up here. Is it because I borrowed two of their men?”Benjamin suspected that the soldiers could only return to the prime estate only if they were complete. With Benjamin taking two of the soldiers with him to Health-Bind Hospital, the rest probably decided to wait for them here at the young g master's residence.Lia Locks pointed outside the mansion. “The soldiers told me last night that they came here on Master Hunter's direct orders.”“Huh? Grandpa is the one who ordered them to come here?” Benjamin was understandably confused now. “Why?”Lia Locks shook his head. “I asked the same question, but they are only willing to provide any further answers to you directly.”Benjamin looked do

Anthony, on the other hand, was briefly stunned by his young master's action. He really didn't expect that he would be called to stand next to the young man he was serving, not in front of these soldiers.Still, he had to do as commanded, and gratitude flooded his heart as he got up on his feet and walked forward to stand on Benjamin’s left, a step behind the young man.“Are you okay?” Benjamin shifted his gaze to stare at Anthony with slight concern. He then dipped his hand into his bag and pulled out a blue handkerchief, extending it towards his driver. “Here. Clean yourself up.”Anthony was, once again, surprised by the caring gesture his young master was showing him in front of the soldiers. It was like Benjamin was letting these soldiers know that he cared more about him than them.This made Anthony a bit apprehensive. He then quickly passed a message to Benjamin.“Young Master, these soldiers have been ordered by the master to now work under you. From now on, they're situated w

Minutes later, Benjamin was seated comfortably in the Bugatti Sports car as Anthony drove him out of the residence. Benjamin glanced out his tinted windshield to find the two soldiers kneeling by the residence entrance. Satisfied, he turned his gaze as the car zoomed away from the residence.As soon as they were out of the estate premises, Benjamin took in a deep breath. He was finally on his way to school. A lot of things had happened between last night and this morning, and he would be lying if he claimed that he wasn't a bit tired from dealing with so much within such a short time frame.He took in a deep breath to calm himself first. He still needed to face a tyrannical professor on campus, so it's better not to drown himself in his exhaustion right now.Benjamin rubbed his eyes, mentally biting to take an appropriate rest after classes today.As they got closer to school, Anthony kept glancing at Benjamin with nervousness. He kept opening his mouth before closing it after failin

The crowd of students was stunned into silence after Benjamin confirmed that it was him.They began scanning his outfit more thoroughly to make sure they weren't being delusional.“How's that possible?” One of the students couldn't hold back as she pointed out all of the outfits and accessories Benjamin had on. “How can you even afford a single piece of what you have on your body right now?! None of this makes any sense at all.”Benjamin simply glanced at them before answering. “I don't owe any of you an explanation. Whether you believe what you see, it is not up to you.” Benjamin then looked down at his watch with a slight frown. He was going to be late if he didn't head to class right now.Thus, Benjamin walked away from the crowd without another word. “Hey, is he just gonna leave us here without a proper answer?!” A male student sneered at the back of Benjamin's head.“It doesn't matter. I need to confirm if everything he has on his body is real!” The female student who pointed a

The classroom seemed to have turned slightly chill as Benjamin stood before the class, staring straight at Andrew Tyrone, who was seated a couple of seats towards the back of the class. Andrew didn't shy away from the staring contest either The students in the class kept shifting their gazes between Benjamin and Andrew as they whispered among each other.“Holy shit! Why is my heart suddenly beating at this sight?”“I know, right? It's like I'm witnessing two lions about to battle off for the ultimate control over the pride!”“Yeah. I can almost feel a shiver rushing up my spine.”Benjamin heard some of these whispered words around him,im but he simply ignored them as his gaze remained firmly on Andrew. Looking at the face of the arrogant young man, Benjamin was reminded of the horrible things he experienced because of this man.Ever since Benjamin became a student at EDU, he had always avoided Andrew as much as he could. Yet, it seems like Andrew had decided to make an enemy of the

Alexa smiled sweetly at Andrew before kissing him on the cheek. “I hope that bastard is watching and dies of jealousy.”Andrew became much more appeased. He grabbed Alexa by the waist and gave her a trench kiss right there. He then glanced in Benjamin’s direction, hoping that his rival was watching this.Andrew was quickly disappointed as he found Benjamin not even paying him any attention.Andrew ended the kiss and glared heatedly at Benjamin. “This piece of trash suddenly thinks he’s qualified to challenge me just because he has some money. I need to clip those growing wings of his before he causes me more trouble.”Andrew was still dealing with the issue of the naked running videos and posts of himself on social media platforms. Alexa stared at Andrew with slight pity in her eyes. She knew exactly what her boyfriend was talking about. “I noticed that those videos have barely stopped trending. The posts have calculated up to tens of millions at this point.”“Don't even remind me, B

Max was temporarily silenced by this, staring at the cold expression on his best friend's face.“Huh?”“You heard me.” Benjamin's tone was deep yet gentle as he kept his gaze in the distance of nothingness.“Do you have any idea how guilty I felt when I got to that house and found you and your family in the quest conditions ever? You had a couple of ribs broken and your face had been beaten to the point that I could barely recognize you as you pay on the ground.”Max's face softened as the pain of that horrible day came flooding back into his mind. No one understood the pain he went through at the hands of Jude and his gang members more than him.“Buddy……” He didn't get past this word as he was cut off.Benjamin spoke. “I saw your sister in a heart-shattering position. Looking into her eyes, I saw it. I saw how lost she was in her mind. The trauma of everything she experienced that day was evident. And your mother?”“Stop!” Max covered his eyes as he hunched his head over his lap whil

Benjamin was in his private office when Anthony rushed in to give him the news. “Elaborate.” He commanded his driver.Anthony held up the advanced tablet phone in his hands before clicking a few functions on the widescreen. Within seconds, the curtains in the private office were automatically lowered, turning out the afternoon sun of the weekend and effectively plunging the room into darkness.Then a second later, a wide holographic screen came on, displaying everything on the tablet phone in Anthony's hands.“Brody Cage, the spy you sent into the gang cave of that senior district keeper, Jude, reached out with the code. The bait was effective and the bastard is now looking for you.”Benjamin's face took on a cold expression, conveying just how serious he took this situation.”Benjamin held up a hand. “For now, go summon Lieutenant Jason. Also, call over my good brother. They both need to be here for this.” Of course, Anthony understood that he was referring to Max Detroit.“Yes, S
Chapter 240
A month has passed following the charity event held at Elites Domain University’s grand hall. Principal Dice had long given the donation funds of $10 million to two hundred charity organizations that could be said to need this funding the most. These are charity organizations that were on the verge of shutting down due to lack of funding.The media immediately spread Principal Dice's goodwill, raising the prestige of EDU as well. The information about Benjamin being the donator for this huge fund was kept underwhelmed compared to the way the media consistently praised Principal Dice.Despite everyone knowing that Principal Dice was not the actual donator but a representative, it has been made clear that Benjamin himself didn't want to be praised or even recognized as the donator.While that was impossible, the media did something extremely rare in this modern world: they honored Benjamin's request, blurring out his face and name every time they mentioned the primary donator.Still, B

Andrew didn't want to give away such a large amount of money. $1 billion was simply too freaking much to just give away to a bunch of charity organizations that he couldn't give two shits about if he was being honest.Unfortunately, for Andrew, he was caught in a trap. He had lost the bid-off challenge in such a humiliating way, and per the established stakes put in place, he had to honor the winner by granting three commands of his.Benjamin's first command - to give away that $1 billion.Andrew felt like he had as the one being played all along Even more unfortunate for him, Andrew was too proud to not give away that $1 billion. His name and his family's name were on the line at this point. There are videos of the deal being made currently circling the infinite space of the internet. If he went against his agreement now, he would only be looked down on by everyone on campus. Even his crew might start to move away from him.Principal Dice recurved the credit alert in the bank accoun

Alexa nodded her head with an apprehensive expression as she tried to make Andrew understand how bad the situation was for them. “But then your father won't necessarily be able to completely sway the rest of the committee heads to join him in messing with EDU donations in the future.”“Huh?” Andrew frowned with a slight shake of his head. “I don't understand.”Alexa fought the urge to sigh at how uncharacteristically stupid Andrew was being right now. She suspected that the frustration swirling inside him due to the unfavorable turning out of this event was probably trying his brain.“Think about it. Once Principal Dice makes these donations of $10 million each to those one hundred charity organizations, he would become a celebrated figure in New Stone City. Then other high figures, including the mayor, would begin associating themselves with him.”Andrew's eyes widened as he finally connected the dots, whispering his deductions himself.“Once that happens, the rest of the Institutio

“As the loser, you are obliged to give in to three commands of mine.”This was frustrating to an extreme. Andrew had totally forgotten about the initial deal he had made with Benjamin - the very one he had initiated in front of so many eyes and phone cameras recording everything.“Are you fucking kidding me right now?!” Andrew spoke with a growl, glaring hatefully at Benjamin.“You've already humiliated me so many times today, and yet, you still want to fucking cash on the initial bet?! Benjamin, don't you have a damn conscience?!”Benjamin raised a finger with a calm expression on his face.“First of all, every single humiliation you have suffered up until this moment was all your fault. You utilized underhanded means to disgrace me publicly. Unfortunately for you, it all rebounded. You have no one but yourself to blame for those mishaps.”Benjamin saw that Andrew couldn't utter a word to tackle his point. So he raised a second finger.“Also, have you forgotten that you were the one

Benjamin then turned his attention back to Veronica while still holding onto his ‘girlfriend’.“Alright, I accept. But I may not be available a lot of the time. So this is something we'll have to schedule ahead of time.”Veronica giggled. “Of course, do you think I have that much free time too?”Benjamin received the phone and typed in his number.Once that was done, Veronica nodded at Principal Dice.“Principal, you have injured quite the talent within this campus. Keep it up.”Despite Principal Dice being more than four decades older than Veronica, he couldn't help but feel good about being praised by such a high-status member of the Whiteridge family.“Thank you, Young Mistress.”Veronica turned to the guests. “Ladies and gentlemen, we will be meeting at the headquarters pretty soon. We'll discuss in full-length what went down today with the chairman. Until then…..”And with that, Veronica left with her bodyguards.Watching the woman leave, Anthony Wood and Lieutenant Jason finally

Veronica Whiteridge had bowed to Benjamin in a show of apology, so the guests had no choice but to follow suit. Though the great dissatisfaction they currently felt was evident on their faces, they hid away as their faces turned towards the ground.Senior Lawyer Francis sighed as he stared at Benjamin for the barest of a moment before bowing his head at Benjamin as well.Principal Dice smiled at Benjamin before calmly bowing his head in apology. If not for anything else, but for the fact that this fraud of an event was held on his campus.This left Andrew and his crew.Andrew had his hands baked into fists as he stared at Veronica Whiteridge and everyone else Boeing at Benjamin. He knew what was supposed to happen next. He knew what he was supposed to do. But this was hard. Boeing to Benjamin was a new level of humiliation to himself that he was not willing to indulge in at all.And yet, Andrew Tyrone knew that he had no choice.Alexa became worried as she stared at the stubborn back
Chapter 234
There was another moment of silence. The words that had just come from Andrew's mouth were spoken with an irrationally brash attitude. Everyone watching could tell that this young man was crashing out. Veronica, Principal Dice, the guests, the head lawyer from The Tyrone Group, and even Andrew's crew all waited for Benjamin's answer.It was safe and pretty much sensible to say that they were just as curious. Everyone here knew that Benjamin was an orphan, along with the brief history lesson that Andrew had just given them. So they also wanted to know where Benjamin got $1 billion from.The fact that he could easily give it all away to charity organizations was even more telling of the fact that he had billions of dollars in his bank account.Again, this young man had no parents, no inheritance, and a frail grandmother. Where did he get that kind of money from?Benjamin sighed. “Haven't you ever heard of investments?”The crowd choked a bit from the somewhat simple answer that Benjam
