Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 132
Brody had just witnessed the death of his two henchmen. He had been through many highs and lows with them and would have never thought that they would end up this way.Alas, Brody had no time to mourn the dead, especially when his life was currently on the line.“I'll tell the truth! Senior Jude, I'll tell the truth! Please, don't kill me!”Brody was now lying with his chest on the ground.Jude sneered as he placed the sole of his leather shoe on Brody's head. “Start talking, bastard.”The next few minutes went by slowly as Jude listened to Brody's narration of how he was humiliated in front of that high-end restaurant by Benjamin while he was trying to collect what Max owed him. He then framed Benjamin as a spy for the big boss so he could destroy the young man with the greater power.Jude was quiet for a while as he remained seated with his leg placed over Brody's head. “You absolute piece of shit!”Jude began laughing loudly, though the self-mocking tone was evident. “I can't fuck

Dr. Felicia had also turned on her professional mode. “The mother, Kendra Detroit, regained consciousness first as she was simply exhausted and dealing with severe malnutrition. She should be fine after a month of careful diet planning.”Benjamin got off his huge bed, walking to the floor-to-ceiling glass window as he listened to the doctor. “And?” He urged her to continue.“The little girl woke up a couple of hours ago. Her situation was a bit more severe. She's currently dealing with PTSD and I've tasked her to a specialist. Also, it helps a lot that her mother is there with her.”Benjamin felt a bit relieved to hear this. “Dr. Felicia, what about Max?”“He remains unconscious for now, Mr. Knox.” Dr. Felicia’s tone when addressing Max made it clear that she was aware that he was the most important member of the Detroit family to Benjamin.“Don't worry though; it's great news. Your friend is healing up pretty fast. It might take a few more hours before he regains consciousness.”B

“Woah! Chill, buddy!” Benjamin chuckled at the AI assistant. “I definitely think Dr. Felicia is quite hot but I'm pretty sure there's no feelings behind it.” “Oh.” Andy kept his holographic gaze on Benjamin for a few seconds in silence. “So you must be horny. That makes sense for a dashing young man like you.” Benjamin fought the urge to slam his palm on his face. “You don't seem to have a filter, do you?” Andy chuckled. “I don't think I've said anything I shouldn't have.” Benjamin saw the expression on the holographic face. Andy was purposely being cheeky. It was still a wonder how an AI program could possess such a level of consciousness. The more time Benjamin spends with WOC-0054, the more he finds himself intrigued. In fact, it was easy for people to forget that Andy is a program and not a real person. Andy soon picked out the best outfit and accessories for his young master, and Benjamin was satisfied as he checked himself out in the full length mirrors. He was wearing a

“I'm sorry, Sir.” The head butler giggled briefly. “I just couldn't help myself.”Theresa released a breath of relief. “For God's sake, you scared me, Miss Locks.”Though the head butler apologized, everyone in the room knew that it was lighthearted and they quickly let go of any tension.Benjamin received the tablet and he began going through them.“Every single one of these cars, they're limited editions.”Head Butler Lia nodded her head. “That's right, Sir. Master Hunter instructed that you're sent only the limited editions of every car brand under the family's conglomerate.”Benjamin was reminded that there are few top-notch automakers under the Whiteridge Conglomerates. As for the others, the Whiteridge family owned significant shares there.Benjamin sighed. “These cars aren't just limited editions, they're customized as well.”Theresa became curious as she saw the intrigue in her grandson's eyes. “What is the cheapest car there?”Benjamin slid through the options. “$12 million.

Lieutenant Jason glanced at the other four soldiers before replying. “Roger that, Young Master.”As soon as the call came to an end, the only female soldier in this security unit clicked her tongue.“Am I the only one feeling that the young master seems smart beyond his years?”A male soldier nodded his head sharply. “I thought I was the only one who felt it. His way of dissolving issues would make you believe he's an old soul in a young man's body.”“Right?” The female soldier agreed. “Even if he spent his life up to this point in the lower districts of the city, he should be street smart, at least, and yet, he has such a calm tactical approach to things.”Lieutenant Jason nodded as well. “Like the way he gave a certain of power to that driver of his. Years at the prime estate, and not even Master Hunter had interfered with how that guy from the Wood family was treated by everyone. But the young master changed all that.”The silence that followed in the black jeep was filled with de

Gina teared up slightly but she smiled at Theresa. “Uncle Jerry, he…..”“I know.” Theresa nodded her head with a sad expression. “I'm sorry you lost your uncle to those bad guys.”“I'm not. Uncle Jerry deserved everything he got.”Theresa would be lying if she claimed that she didn't expect this kind of reply from the young teenage girl. Jeremiah Detroit was a useless drunk during his lifetime, and he had only ever brought nothing but trouble to the already hard lives of the Detroit family members. Also, Theresa was informed by Benjamin of the signs of physical assault he had found in Gina the night he rescued them. Theresa cursed at the terrible excuse for an Uncle. That drunk was also known for beating up Max and Gina ever since they were little. It was their father who would always help them out and occasionally prevent Jeremiah from going too far with his beatings.While Gina talked with Theresa, Benjamin walked over to the therapist handling Gina, and Dr. Felicia introduced th

“Where else would you go? You're coming home with me, of course.” Benjamin spoke with a matter-of-fact tone.Max tilted his head before chuckling. “Thanks for the invite, Ben, but how am I and the other three members of my family supposed to fit in your one-room apartment? It will be hell, and Grandma Theresa doesn't deserve that.”“Well, it's a good thing that I've moved to a new residence,” Benjamin smirked a bit cockily at his best friend.“Oh.” The realization hit Max. “I forgot that you still have that money from the lottery you won. I hope you're not spending it like that night at the restaurant.”Benjamin wanted to correct his best friend and tell him the true source of his wealth, but he held his tongue, deciding to wait for Max to get better and then see everything for himself.Therefore Benjamin just nodded his head at his friend's advice.Lieutenant Jason Coal was here witnessing the whole exchange between Benjamin and Max, and he was in discreet awe of the young master's s

The shameless man then ordered his spies within the hospital to spread the defamatory news that Dr. Felicia had slept with Benjamin to get that $50 million ‘thank-you' gift.Luckily, Dr. Felicia provided proof negating this news and everyone soon forgot it as they concluded that Dr. Tank must have spread this fake news due to jealousy.All this had happened in the span of a few days.Now, if Dr. Tank had walked in on Dr. Felicia making out with Benjamin, it would have been nothing short of a blessing for the terrible senior resident to make a striking attack against Dr. Felicia's reputation.Back to the present,Dr. Felicia opened the door to find Dr. Tank pointing his hands boldly at the lieutenant who looked like he was seconds away from grabbing the doctor's finger and snapping it off.“Dr. Tank, how many I help you?”Dr. Tank's gaze shifted to the junior resident and so did his pointed finger.“You?! You must be responsible for the leaked chats between me and my side chicks, right

A couple of minutes later, the video came to an end. The holographic screen went blank before it faded to reveal Andy's holographic bald head once again.“And that concludes all gathered visual pieces of evidence of File Arson.” Though these words were supposed to be spoken with a much lighter tone to relieve the sadness in the atmosphere, Andy couldn't make it as convincing as he should have.It was like the AI assistant itself was finding it hard to o pretend like it hadn't just played the worst video possible right now. Andy had just displayed a video that contained key moments in how the true arson at Benjamin’s former home had truly taken place.In the series of videos, it is revealed that a bunch of masked men had snuck into the one-room apartment that Benjamin grew up in, raised by his foster grandmother, Theresa.Here, these masked men carried a sizable tank into that apartment. They then proceeded to ransack the room, obviously looking for something valuable they could steal

The super chaotic scene was witnessed by the students from the upper floors, and some of these students began cheering on the chasers and the chased ones.Seeing the opportunity to get away was here, the secretary held Benjamin by his arm, immediately blushing as she found that Benjamin’s arms were quite too big for her fingers to wrap around. Even more so, she felt the sturdy muscles that rippled beneath every movement of that body part, despite the thick layer of clothes Benjamin had on.This young man wasn't really incredibly handsome, he was incredibly fit as well.She accepted this considering the fact that Benjamin had held that muscular culprit by the neck with such incredible strength just a moment ago.Benjamin was oblivious to the secretary's state of mind, agreeing with her words for him to take this chance and leave.Benjamin turned to Olivia. “I think you should go stay with April. Keep me updated on how she's doing.”Olivia saw the silent plea in Benjamin's gaze, finding

The short and muscular culprit was scared. Though his neck was thick, Benjamin's fingers wrapped around a good portion of it, enough to strangle him in the first place. With his terrifyingly brutal strength, he could feel the breath of life being stolen away from him.Meanwhile, Olivia felt her heart shaking by the feeling Be Jasmin gave off from the start and everything that played out before her eyes.From this, she deduced that Benjamin wasn't…your typical intellectually gifted young man. She had always known this but this physical display of intimidation made her realize that Benjamin was on a whole different level. It was simultaneously incredible and scary.She turned to Max to find that the guy was not as dumbfounded or taken aback as she was. In fact, Max was the most calm about the scenario that was playing before everyone here.Turning to the secretary, Olivia round her just as awed by Benjamin’s display as everyone else.With her observant eyes and sharp mind, Olivia deduce

For the first time in forever, Benjamin felt his heart grow cold with intense fear as he watched April lie motionless in his arms. His right hand, placed right behind her head, had gone wet with her blood.“I'm glad you're safe.”Those whispered words from April's lips right before she lost consciousness went a shockwave down his body. He couldn't move, just kneeling on the ground as he stared at his fake girlfriend with shocked eyes.It was safe to say that the world had faded out of his awareness as he focused solely on the unconscious lady. Even though he didn't witness every single moment that led up to this point, he could easily deduce it.These people. These greedy-ass old neighbors of his…..They had intended to hurt him physically, and April took the hit for him, probably out of impulse.Benjamin felt really complicated in his heart, struggling to process his emotions, a truly rare occurrence.At that moment, he felt a firm hand on his shoulders.“Young man! Young man, please

Hearing this, Max smiled proudly with a head nod to convey his understanding. As for the two ladies, they were tearing up at varying degrees, having never met such a handsome man with such an overbearing aura but acting with such meticulous protectiveness when it came to the people he cared about.“Haba haba!” Olivia fanned herself while batting her eyes at Benjamin, conveying how flustered she was. “Just when I think you couldn't get more attractive with your show of masculinity, you prove me wrong.”Benjamin didn't reply to Olivia, turning to face Lieutenant Jason and his team of soldiers.“As for you guys, I know you'll resort to fircecwadikt if that means that I'm kept out of harm's way. And in that kind of situation, the chances of you hurting the protesters are high. This would only make the public view me truly as a bully, and they'll become more susceptible to believing those people outside. Don't forget, my old neighbors have made it clear of their intention to sue me. I don'

Max placed a hand over Benjamin's shoulder. “Ben, what do you mean by that?”Benjamin turned to his best friend with a gentle smile.“It's exactly as you've heard. I don't want any of you guys near me once I start walking out of this building.”He turned a calm glare at Anthony.“Especially you guys.” He nudged his head at Lieutenant Jason while still speaking to his driver. “Hold him back, will you?”Anthony could only nod his head as he fought his reluctance.Olivia squinted her eyes. “There's something you're not telling us. This decision came to abrupt. What exactly are you thinking?”April watched as Benjamin kept quiet, refusing to reply to Olivia, so she did that instead.“It's because Benjamin knows that his old neighbors would definitely attack him. They'll run after him to physically assault him just to show some grievances of what they've lost.”Max nodded his head as he stared outside the faculty building main entrance with a frown.“Yeah. Those people will definitely ass

Professor Blanca's expression conveyed her dissatisfaction as she watched April Scott lead the other two into the classroom.“What are you three doing here? Do you realize that I can have you all punished severely for interrupting my class with a sensible reason?!”Olivia discretely glanced at the middle-aged teacher with disdain, mumbling to herself.“What lecture? None of your students are even in their seats at the moment.”Max doesn't reiterate this though. Instead, he spoke with a slightly gentler tone.“We're sorry, Professor, but we saw the commotion outside the faculty building and we had to check on our friend.”Professor Blanca rolled her eyes with a show of annoyance.“You came from your classes to check on your friend because you're worried about him? What about the victims he killed and the victims he stripped of their properties? Who would come to their aid, huh?”Professor Blanca pointed at Benjamin, making sure she had the attention of not just Benjamin’s friends, but

“Hey, are those reporters?! Woah! There's a lot of them!”True to these words, everyone found up to ten reporters' vehicles driving toward the faculty building. As soon as they reached their destination, these reporters and their camera people flooded out of their vans to speak to these protesters.“Sir, may I have a moment of your time?” A female reporter had quickly targeted a nearby man, hoping to gather scoops first. “What exactly is this protest about?”Of course, the other reporters were not slacking either. They rushed over to other protesters as well.Meanwhile, the older man being interviewed by the first reporter spewed out everything.“Look at the banners!” He directed the reporter's gaze to Benjamin’s face on the banner. The cameraman with this female reporter also captured the banner in the older man's grasp.The older man continued. “This boy is the devil's incarnate. On the night he and his grandmother decided to never return, they burned down a significant portion of

With Andrew not around on campus for a month now, the surroundings became easily peaceful for Benjamin and his crew. With no Andrew around, there was naturally no Alexa around. It wasn't too hard to deduce that the $1 billion that Benjamin had taken away from Andrew had caused a temporary crippling of his financial status.In addition, his father - Simon Tyrone - had publicly poured all the blame on his son. It was fair to say that Andrew was under house arrest as a form of discipline from his father.Either way, this ensured that Benjamin, Max, April, and Olivia were able to focus on their studies without being worried that there was a scheme underway.In fact, neither the sorority girls nor Andrew's goonish crew came looking for trouble. These people didn't have the powerful backing they usually did to escape any punishment for bullying people.With Benjamin's superior display of wealth, these people felt like they had to get even more careful when it comes to looking for trouble,
