Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 112
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 smiled calmly at the professor before shifting his attention to his laptop. He connected the device to the huge screen as the students in the class whispered about him.“Hey, I think we should try becoming friends with Benjamin from now on.”“Hey, I was thinking the exact same thing. He's no longer the poor miserable loser who we saw get humiliated by Andrew last week.”“That is an understatement right there. He's now far from being poor. For goodness sake, the guy paid $70 million in Health-Bind Hospital just this morning. He's definitely loaded.”“Plus, he doesn't have a family member other than his old grandmother. He must not know how to spend such a huge amount of money, so let's help him spend it “Even though Elites Domain University is attended mostly by the wealthy class, most of the students here are simply children of millionaires. Therefore, they gave no more than a few hundreds of thousands of dollars in their bank accounts.These students wouldn't mind manipulat

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

The class became a bit noisy as students began whispering to each other, wondering if it was a coincidence that Principal Dice showed up here, and at a time that Professor Blanca was proudly claiming that no one could challenge her authority.As for Professor Blanca, she was frozen on the spot. She would have never guessed that this kind of awkward situation would occur at a time like this.Principal Dice’s gaze was calm but broody as he stepped into the lecture venue. “What's wrong, Mrs. Gorge? Why did you stop talking? You were telling your students how you're practically above every chain of authority on this campus, including mine, right?”“What?! No, no! Of course, not!” Professor Blanca Gorge was quick to shake her head with wide eyes before she smiled awkwardly. “Principal Dice, please, come in! I really wasn't expecting you'd show up here during my class. You should have given me a heads up.”Principal Dice raised an eyebrow and a cold smirk spread across his face. “But if I

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,

As soon as Benjamin left the venue, he retrieved his air pods from his back and placed them in his ears before looking down at his phone screen to type.[Andy, get in my ear. We need to talk.]A second later, the screen turned blue for a moment before returning to normal. But then, Benjamin could hear the voice of the AI through the air pods.“Hey, Sir! How may I help you?” Andy's voice sounded cheerful.Benjamin went straight to the point as he walked through the hallways, heading to his next class for the day. “Tell me the truth, buddy. Are you responsible for what happened back at the lecture venue?” Benjamin kept his voice at a minimum volume as there were other students and non-teaching staff members littered around the hallways of the building.Andy replied with no remorse in his voice. In fact, he sounded quite proud of himself.“Of course, it's me. Who else would be more capable of retrieving deleted footage right under the nose of tech professionals, without even getting de

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

Benjamin ended his last class for the day and he packed up, ready to leave the faculty building and head home. Before he could leave the lecture venue though, he was bombarded by some of the students in this class and even some students who flooded from outside.“Yo, Benjamin, can. I have your number! There's a sick party going on this weekend, and I'd really like you to come! I know you've never been invited to a nightclub before, so I guarantee I'll make your first time amazing.”“Benjamin, I'm hosting a party tonight instead. I promise you there's going to be the most amazing whiskey you've ever had in your life. The sexy ladies there, too, are to die for. What do you say?!”“Benjamin, I know that you're a studious guy. I'd like to invite you to join my club, The Fashionable Aces of EDU. What do you say?”Benjamin was at a loss for a while. He hadn't expected people in his faculty to suddenly change their attitude toward him. The only thing he had been certain about was that they'

The last thing the old woman needed right now was to find out that her dear grandson was attacked at gunpoint on his way back from school. Benjamin had witnessed Theresa endure so much turmoil for over two decades just for his sake. And that doesn't even include the horrible things she faced before adopting Benjamin.Right now, Benjamin was determined to keep his godly grandmother away from anything that would make her sad. He had made an oath with himself to keep her happy for the rest of her life.At this point, Head Butler Lia and the male soldier were lost for words. After everything Benjamin had narrated, they knew in their hearts that Anthony could never be treated the same ever again. The driver would now forever be known as the young master's life savior.Head Butler Lia was not happy about this. So she turned her anger on the make soldier.“And where the hell were those assigned to protect the young master today?”The male soldier didn't expect his partner in crime to sudde

Head Butler Lia noticed the pissed-off look on her young master's face, and she quickly took a mental step back, softening her voice with a slight bow of her head.“Apologies, Young Master Benjamin. I had no idea that it was you who chose to eat at such a place.”Benjamin reigned in his reaction as well. “I want you three to come up with me to my study. We have some things to discuss.” Head Butler Lia exchanged a glance with the male soldier who had just arrived with Anthony. It was obvious that the young master was starting to attach a level of importance to this lowly driver. Once Benjamin and the other three arrived inside his private study, they settled down.Anthony had to remain on his feet as there were only two other seats on the other side of Benjamin’s desk, both of which had been occupied by the head butler and the male soldier.Benjamin pretended as if he didn't notice this. “First of all, Head Butler Lia, has there been any reply from the estate's head of security?”Ben

The Bugatti Sports car soon arrived at Sunspot Estate, and just like before, the security guards gave them no trouble at all. Anthony and Benjamin couldn't help but exchange a smile at the vast difference in the kind of treatment they receive now and what they dealt with on their first entry.As they approached the largest residence in Sunspot Estate, Benjamin found the rest of the thirty soldiers now stationed in various parts of the residence boundary, doing their job to secure the place. Benjamin was content with this. Anthony craned his neck slightly as he saw something by the gate. “Young Master, those two soldiers you from this morning are still serving their punishment.”“As they should.” Benjamin was confident that they wouldn't dare disobey his order as the young master and their assigned boss.The gates were immediately opened and the car went straight in. By the time Anthony opened the door for Benjamin to step out, they found three soldiers, led by a man, standing at att

Benjamin could sense how incredibly awkward things had become while driving home. This was mostly due to the tense state Anthony was in as he drove the car. Benjamin would also catch him glancing through the rearview mirror.“Anthony, if you have any questions, just ask.”Anthony chuckled nervously. “I know, Sir. It's just…..I'm afraid asking this might be too personal for you.”Benjamin had on a slight smile as he turned his gaze out of the tinted windshield. “Are you talking about the cruel method I used with those armed men?”Anthony stiffened as he nodded his head. “If it's too personal, then I understand. I'm sorry I asked in the first place.”Benjamin kept quiet for a solid minute, seemingly lost in a daze as he stared out at the late afternoon sky passing by.“That side of me you witnessed at the food truck, it's a part of me I try to keep down as much as possible. It would have never existed if not for what happened to me earlier in my life. I guess you can call it a coming-o

“Die, murhafucka!”That was when another knife came flying from the side. This armed man didn't see it coming at all, so the knife had successfully sliced through his wrist before he realized it.“Ghhaar! Fuck!” This armed man was in great pain as he dropped his pistol. He tightly held onto his profusely bleeding wrist.Anthony, in the meantime, didn't slow down his own attack. As soon as he got close to the scared armed man, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it sharply, breaking the bone, which effectively disarmed him.Anthony then followed up with an uppercut punch, which sent the man spitting out saliva as he flew through the air, dropping to the ground in an unconscious state.Just like that, all five armed men had been disarmed.Anthony shifted his gaze to the attacker who had dodged his knife. Surprised to find him in a serious state, he shifted his gaze once again to find Benjamin walking towards him with a knife in his hand.Anthony couldn't believe Benjamin had this kind of

Benjamin and Anthony hid well inside the food truck, listening as gunshots were released into the air.Meanwhile, as soon as one of these attackers shot at the food truck, a bald and muscular member quickly punched him.“Have you lost your goddamn mind?! We were only hired to teach that young man a lesson, not fucking kill him!”“C’mon, boss, I was just scaring them. I wasn't actually gonna kill him.”The bald man sighed as he looked at the frightened people running about the park with a deep frown.“I didn't expect that young man and his driver would actually notice us. Fuck it! It doesn't matter. Let's surround the truck and force them out. There's only so much space to hide in that thing.”The group of five armed men began to slowly move towards the food truck. Unknown to them, their targets were secretly watching all of their moves.While hiding in the food truck, Anthony found a mirror that happened to be propelled at the right angle. Through this, he and his young master were ab

“You don't have to talk about this, Anthony.” Benjamin made sure to convey this to his driver.But Anthony shook his head. “You're the only one who has bothered to ask me about all these. I want to tell you everything.” Benjamin saw the determination in Anthony's eyes, so he nodded his head. “Alright then. Go on.”They were murdered by a loan shark. We were not living in the best conditions and my father ended up borrowing tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, he was unable to pay them. As a result, those loan sharks harvested my parents’ organs to go sell-off in the black market.”Benjamin put the pieces together. “You must have then spent the next two years in an orphanage home, right? That's where Grandpa found you.”Anthony nodded. “Master Hunter took care of me within the walls of the prime estate. Though there was little he could do in terms of the way the other employees saw me.”Benjamin sneered. “If Grandpa had interfered with such a thing, the elders and other member

The air around Benjamin's table became a little stiff as the two went quiet. Benjamin needed a moment to digest what he had just learned and Anthony gave him that moment of silence.After a while though, Benjamin sat up straight and took another scoop of ice cream into his mouth, looking like nothing serious had happened.“Then what happened?” He gave Anthony the permission to continue his event narration.Anthony nodded his head with a thin-linned lips. “Fortunately, the Whiteridge family had long been keeping tabs on my family. They suspected that they might be trying to overthrow the Whiteridge family and they had placed a smart plan to foil the assassination.”“A plan to foil the assassination?” Benjamin paused as he was about to devour another scoop of ice cream. “What do you mean by that?”“My family's assassination plan didn't make it to the final stage before it was destroyed from within.” Anthony stared off into the distance of nothingness as if he could see everything he was

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
