These two ladies who were standing before Alexa. However, one could tell from their demeanor that they had a bit of fear in comparison to Alexa who stood with a straight back, looking down at them as she was wearing a pair of knee-length boots, allowing her a greater height than the two ladies“Alexa, we were fooled by you!” The less pretty of the two ladies pointed a finger at Alexa.This slightly pissed off Alexa. “What the fuck are you accusing me of, bitch?! I literally fucking told you the job description and paid your asses to follow through! So tell me, Daisy, April, why are you two fucking acting like lunatics right now!”The less pretty lady is Daisy while the prettier one in April “That wasn't what you told us!” The less pretty lady, Daisy, pointed at Alexa with a bitter face.“You said we simply have to agree to your terms, and that it wasn't anything serious.”The prettier lady, April, spoke with a slightly reserved demeanor compared to Daisy who was showing more bravado

These three ladies were close to Alexa. They accepted her as soon as she upgraded by dating someone like Andrew Tyrone. They were practically her best friends.Therefore, Alexa was able to confide in them.“Girl, those two lowlifes are actually causing you trouble? Nah, girl! You gotta curb them before they let shit out.”Alexa sighed as she shifted her gaze out of the side she was seated.“And how exactly am I supposed to do that?”“Girl, you've gotta trample on them. Make them fear you more than they already do. You have the power to make their lives miserable. They'll tremble and never dare to mess with you again.”Alexa smirked coldly. Her friends have basically given her the push she needed.“Don't worry about them, ladies. I know how to deal with them.”The day of the meet-up party was now here. The preparation turned out to be bigger than expected. It was rumored that the host of this event had easily poured tens of millions into this preparation alone.Despite the estate meeti

Seeing this, some of the attendees were not happy.“What is he doing? Why does he need bodyguards flanking him just to approach us?”“Yeah! It's like he's treating us as crazed fans or something. I don't like this.”Those who were more angry were the wealthier attendees in the audience. They also had their status and, thus, their degree of pride. So they couldn't stand being treated as if Benjamin was above them.This was even more so true for those resident owners who had come to harbor hatred for Benjamin.Benjamin understood how his actions would be perceived at this event, but he simply didn't care. He began interacting with his attendees one by one, but not everyone got to shake hands with him.For some people, Benjamin would stop before then and speak to them in an amiable tone. As for the rest, he would either acknowledge them with a simple head nod as he walked by or not even acknowledge them at all.The ones Benjamin shook hands with were of the wealthiest status, while those

The older man who had just spoken to Benjamin became pissed at the audacity.“Excuse me?”Benjamin calmly repeated himself. “And so what? Your son is one of the culprits who decided that it was okay to mess with my house. And now, you're saying it's not okay to retaliate against him?”“It's not that!” The bold man spoke through his clenched jaws. “You can't just oppress my son in public without giving any face to me or the other guardians! You can't just expect us to stand here and watch you bully these young men!”Benjamin briefly shifted his mashed face to the side. “Then you should leave this venue right this instant.”The crowd gasped as this was a clear statement this mysterious Whiteridge young master was making. He had no intention of letting those young men go without paying for what they did.“What?!” The bold man became a bit shocked, and his assured demeanor seemed to deflate a bit by Benjamin’s unshaken “Didn't you hear me? I said you can leave.” Benjamin then raised his

In the next second, a simultaneous sound of multiple faces slaps resounded through the hall, causing some of the people in the crowd to shut their eyes and avert their gazes. The soldiers had brutally slapped the faces of each and every one of those young men.“Fuck! What did we do?!”“Yeah! It was him that annoyed you! So are the rest of us getting bitch-slapped?!”The rest of the culprits were also feeling this injustice. It was their leader - the one who coerced them to douse Benjamin's house with urine - who kept antagonizing this masked young master from the Whiteridge family. So why were they being punished?“Shut up!” Lieutenant Jason ordered with a cold and loud voice, successfully shutting the apprehended men up. “If any of you talk shit to my young master, you all will be punished for it!”Once these young men heard this, they immediately turned their resentment to their leader.“Dude, stop messing with that guy!” “Yeah! You're just getting the rest of us in trouble.!“Br

Benjamin chuckled as a wave of incredulity hit his heart. He never thought he would witness such a joke today. These people of Sunspot Estate really think they're far above everyone else. Meanwhile, those who held their phones also found that they couldn't call even the security guards within Sunspot Estate.“What is going on with the cell service? Why can't I even make a call?!”Of course, none of these people are aware that Benjamin’s AI assistant was responsible for this.At that moment though, Security Head Mathew Crow suddenly walked into the venue. Behind him are his employees, all walking forward with their heads straight up and their faces a bit cold.“The security guards are here!”“Oh! Thank goodness! Now, my son can finally be saved from those ruthless soldiers!”The role of the security guard went beyond just protecting those within the estate from outsiders. They were also the policing force in charge of maintaining peace within Sunspot Estate itself.The parents and gua

“Hey, Grandpa. What's up?”Hunter's voice came through the call. “Hello, my boy. How are you today? Did anything special happen?”Benjamin raised an eyebrow as he felt like his grandfather seemed likely to be fishing for something. “I'm doing well. Nothing really unique went down.”Hunter then chuckled. “So the incident with your house being drowned in disgusting pee and you taking revenge for it……You're telling me that none of it is unique enough to be reported?”Benjamin sighed with a brief chuckle of his own. “I should have known you'd have heard about this already. I left there a couple of minutes ago.”Hunter hummed before speaking with a slightly stern tone, conveying what he was saying to be taken seriously. “My boy, be careful of those residence owners, especially the large sharks in there. Despite the calm air that Sunspot Estate provides, there's a lot of dark activities going on there.”“Huh?” Benjamin frowned at this. “So you're aware of this as well?” He glanced up at

“Why do I sense a ‘but’ coming?”“Well, how would this play out with the relatives? They have their eyes on me at all times. The second I have Head Butler Herbert transfer my shares of Sunspot Estate in your name, the relatives will definitely know exactly where to find you.”Benjamin hasn't forgotten that he was being hunted by his own family members, who are yet to find out his identity. Benjamin frowned a bit. “Grandpa, I don't need you to transfer your overwhelming shares of this estate to me, I just need you to discreetly make me your designated representative. Any word or actions I take will, without a doubt, be in your name.”Hunter chuckled. “I see. I like the way you think, my boy. You remind me so much of your……”Benjamin’s frown deepened. He knew his grandfather was about to mention his grandfather, and yet, he couldn't understand why the old man hesitated.“Benjamin, I agree to this proposal of yours, but….”Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “But what? Do you have a condition I

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
