Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 149
That same night, that waiter lost his job as the restaurant's manager, revealing that the assumed pauper was actually a big deal to this restaurant.That waiter had lost his job that very night. As for the waitresses who had supported the waiter in humiliating that customer, they were demoted and punished as well.In truth, this receptionist was not there to witness everything that happened that night. He had actually heard about it from his coworkers as the issue had become a big topic within the restaurant. None of them have ever seen their manager that angry before.Since the receptionist had only seen Benjamin's face through the low-quality facial footage that the restaurant's CCTV cameras provided, he didn't know exactly what Benjamin’s face looked like.Now that he was staring at the incredibly rich young man in front of him, it was difficult for this reception to reconcile the two faces.Yet, the receptionist knew better than to foolishly offend someone just because he couldn't

rnished chairs to be brought in clapped her hands at Hassan Corey.“What's wrong with you? I called you in here to do your job, not stare creepily at the customers.”Hassan Corey stiffened slightly at these words of accusations. “I wasn't……” He was immediately cut off.“Don't lie to me, you lowy cleaner!” The female guide suddenly became a bit oppressive with Hassan. “Aren’t you shameless? Trying to flirt with the customers.”Benjamin and Anthony exchanged a look. They didn't expect such a situation to unfold so suddenly. Why was the guide humiliating Corey right in front of them? It seemed quite professional.Benjamin has another suspicion. This guide didn't like Corey Hassan for some reason and she's trying to get him fired by hopefully ruling him up.Meanwhile, Hassan looked like he was taming his anger. “Ma'am, why would you accuse me of such a thing? I have my pride.”“Whatever.” The guide quickly shut him up. “You've done your job, so get out now.”Benjamin could guess that this

To be honest, no one would fault them for not “gearing up,” as he stated. They knew they would only be guarding their young master. None of them anticipated that they suddenly had a long-range shooter on their necks.Benjamin began thinking of who might have sent this assassin after him. His suspicion was strongly on Andrew Tyrone, and yet, he felt like his assumed culprit was a bit off.Meanwhile, Hassan Corey quickly picked up a sound…..well, multiple sounds of screaming followed by gunshots. He turned his gaze to Benjamin.“There's more of them! The attacker shooting from the neighboring building did not come alone! The others are coming up here right now.”Hearing this, everyone went silent immediately, and truly, they could hear the screaming. The gunshots got increasingly loud though.Benjamin gritted his teeth as he heard the screaming of what he assumed were customers and employees of the restaurant alike. He didn't like this at all.“Those fuckers are throwing a psychologica

Benjamin almost chuckled darkly at these words. He was incredibly angry at this point. These bunch of fools were literally bullying him. He couldn't remain at a physical disadvantage.There was a louder bang on the door this time “Yo, you fucking piece of shit!” The masculine voice now carried a pissed-off tone. “Open the fucking door or else, you will suffer a more painful death! If you comply now, a quick bullet through your fucking brains will be all you get.”Anthony could see that the former security guard of Sunspot Estate, Corey Hassan, was out of commission. The man was doing his best to not make any noticeable sound while battling the pain of having a bullet shot through his arm. Also, he was still bleeding heavily, so he had his other hand clamped tightly in the hole, trying to reduce his rate of blood loss.The driver turned to Benjamin as he whispered. “Young Master, do you have any plans?!”Benjamin glanced out the broken window. He would have made a move right now if

Jason Coal couldn't pinpoint what had happened, but he suddenly felt a chill rush down his spine as he saw the cold look in Benjamin’s eyes.There was a trace of murder and intense cruelty being given off by Benjamin right now and it left the lieutenant incredibly surprised.Still, he knew his young master had just given him a job to do, and he would be damned to be sloppy about it.Lieutenant Jason nodded stiffly and looked outside the window as he finally pulled out his gun.“Just tell me where to aim, Sir!”Benjamin typed into his phone: [I need coordinates, Andy ]Andy quickly replied with the numbers and Benjamin spoke them to his soldier.Lieutenant Jason gritted his teeth. “Men, on me!”“Yes, Sir!”The other soldiers quickly rushed to flank their lieutenant and they pulled their guns in the same direction.In the next second, the team released a total of twenty-seven bullets into the apartment which turned out to be a floor above theirs in the other building.Benjamin looked

Benjamin raised his hand and backhanded the assassin leader right across the face. The sound was a testament to how much strength he had put into his strike.Everyone watched as the assassin leader's face was forced to the side, a bold hand imprint quickly becoming apparent. As the assassin leader turned his face back to Benjamin, there was a trail of blood escaping the corner of his lips.“I'll ask you one more time.” Benjamin maintained a lazy pose that still gave off a domineering aura. “Who sent you?”The assassin's leader was furious but helpless. Plus, he was just finding out exactly why his employers had hired him to kill this target. This young man was anything but ordinary.“G…..Go fuck yourself!” The assassin leader cursed internally as he had involuntarily stuttered through what should have been a confident retort.The other two assassins also picked up on their leader's stutter and they began feeling fear as they could tell the usually confident assassin was scared of thi

Anthony fiercely held the lieutenant's stare.“And do you want to test Master Hunter's response when he finds out that you disobeyed his grandson's direct orders in such a time like this?”The insinuation of Anthony's accusation was enough to strike fear into the lieutenant. Nothing was more blasphemous than to be found disrespecting members of the Whiteridge family.This, as a result, infuriated Jason Coal, and he aimed a fist at Anthony's face.“Enough!” Benjamin’s voice became cold. “Lieutenant, if you make that move, consider yourself no longer welcome under my command. Do I make myself clear?”Jason Coal held his balled fists mere inches away from Anthony's unflinching gaze.It was as if the driver was showing the lieutenant and his soldiers that he had never really been scared of them, but had rather avoided them out of respect for the status quo that existed with the Whiteridge family.This realization, as much as it angered Lieutenant Jason, made him also feel a stronger level

Benjamin wrapped up the situation at the high-end restaurant. The assassins had their heads chopped off and mailed to the client who hired them, Angela Tyrone, and her family.Then Benjamin spoke in great lengths with the manager of the restaurant, finally meeting him face to face.Benjamin apologized that he had brought this disaster upon his restaurant. A lot of customers had died from those assassins terrorizing the building. A lot of waiters and waitresses had died as well.There were now police officers seeking to carry out an investigation, but with the influence of the Whiteridge family, the restaurant manager assured Benjamin that his name would not be mentioned in the investigation at all.Benjamin awarded the man over $100 million to discreetly compensate both the families of the dead customers and the dead employees. Then to rebuild all that had been affected as collateral damage due to the incident.He then quietly left with his people and Corey Hassan. The long-range shoo

Isaac Shawl didn't know what to say. He had never expected that some kind of investigation, especially one that went this deep, was carried out. Back then, the influence of the Tyrone family had been utilized to bribe police stations in that vicinity from carrying out any investigation until they were ordered to do so by the Tyrone family.This was, of course, to make sure the public and, most importantly, the tenants who were being fooled to blame Benjamin for the explosion never found any evidence that would lead them away from the desired target.Isaac Shawl raised an eyebrow at Principal Dice.“What is this? Did you carry out an investigation behind my back or what?”Principal Dice feigned an innocent kind of confusion.“Huh? I didn't know I was supposed to get your permission to look into a case of arson.”Isaac Shawl was a little lost for words but he continued.“Yeah, but you're not a law enforcement agent either. What gave you the right to hold an investigation?! Especially o

Principal Dice pulled out a file contained within one of his shelves and retrieved a document, sliding it over the desk to Isaac Shawl.“Landlord Shawl, you should go through the content of this document.”The landlord frowned as he looked down through the document on the desk, unable to understand beyond his recognition of a few things.“Um, Sir…Principal Dice, I can't understand most of what is in this document. I, along with so many of my people, did not finish beyond the scope of middle school. I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate on this.”“Oh, alright.” Principal Dice nodded with a tight-lipped smile before pulling the document back toward him with two fingers.“Landlord Shawl, this document reveals that there was a heavy trace of chlorine trifluoride that indicates, at highest probability, to be the gas which was used to cause the explosion in the first place.”Principal Dice glanced up at the landlord. “Is that right?”Isaac Shawl's gaze shifted from side to side, his eyes refl

The room was layered in an atmosphere so tense that the thickness of it could be easily felt by the skin and could be cut through with a knife. The horrible landlord, Mr. Isaac, says right beside Benjamin with his hands bound in handcuffs. He, along with the numerous protesters had been arrested by the police who arrived on the university campus a couple of hours ago. He was about to be taken along with everybody when the police received words from their superior.According to the call, Principal Dice had called in a favor - he needed to talk to the old landlord before he was taken to the police station.As for the rest of the protesters, the police were allowed to take them away first, and Mr. Isaac would be sent to join them behind bars later.Now, the old man sat in his seat with a squared shoulder, worried that Benjamin would suddenly lunge and attack him. The seats they were occupying were not very far from each other.The old man recalled Benjamin's gaze after watching his girl

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
Chapter 248
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
