Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 134
“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

“Do you know why I had your face slapped?” Benjamin could see that the humiliated orthopedic surgeon was listening despite not being able to answer as he was too stunned by the slaps to his face to speak.Benjamin didn't waste time answering. “It's because you dared to slander not only Dr. Felicia, but me. I have close relatives that are in this hospital, all of whom I paid more than $70 million to treat. Plus, I personally left their care in the hands of Dr. Felicia.”The audience began whispering as what Benjamin had said made sense.Dr. Tank felt like he was losing support and needed to sway the audience into believing him. Therefore, he pointed at Dr. Felicia.“Lies! Why on earth would you close the office doors if you were merely talking about patient matters, huh?!”To this, Dr. Felicia stepped forward boldly. “With all due respect, Dr. Tank, it's none of your business what another doctor is discussing with their patient. Here at Health-Bind Hospital, we're encouraged to uphol

The news began spreading around the huge hospital. Dr. Felicia was about to register five clients as her first-ever loyal clients under this hospital.This was a feat that no one would have ever believed was possible, and now, this would become a feat that no other doctor would be able to achieve for the longest time.“A Platinum-level client along with four Gold-level clients all at once. Moreover, this would be Dr. Felicia's first time.”The audience kept repeating these words like a broken record, as it was simply hard to swallow. This was too good to be true.Dr. Felicia was shaking as she gestured toward her office. “This way, Mr. Knox.” She was still waiting for the part where Benjamin would declare that he was simply pranking her all this time.That never happened though. Benjamin walked ahead into her office, and Dr. Felicia struggled through her hazy state to properly register Benjamin and the Detroit family members.As soon as Benjamin walked back out of the office, they wer

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

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

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

Veronica's soldiers were not happy that these supposed ordinary bodyguards weren't cowering despite their technique, so they doubled down.As soon as Benjamin saw that this was becoming a show of power, he snapped his fingers. “Get back!”Lieutenant Jason and his team members nodded before backing off. Seeing this, Veronica's soldiers had no choice but to ease up as well.Veronica sighed as he turned to Principal Dice. “Do you just allow your students to act wantonly in front of guests?”Principal Dice smiled nervously. “My apologies, Young Mistress. I do try my best.”Veronica mumbled in response. “I'm sure you do.” She understood how difficult things must be for the old man, especially when it came to handling the son of the highest benefactor of this university, Andrew Tyrone.She clapped her hands as soon as she saw that both sides were now calm, wordlessly commanding her soldiers to return to her side.“I want both sides to listen up. Now that things have turned out this way, we
