Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 171
“No.” April couldn't keep steady on her feet, so she fell to the ground as she teared up. “How could Daisy do this to me?”Alexa scoffed with a look of disdain while her two sorority friends behind her laughed at April's miserable state.“Why wouldn't she leave you? She was overwhelmed and came to me with a deal that I simply couldn't refuse.”April didn't know whether to laugh or cry at what she just heard.“Overwhelmed? Did you just say Daisy felt overwhelmed?! Where was this feeling when she boldly convinced me to take up your offer of pretending to be a victim of sexual assault against Benjamin? Where wasn't she overwhelmed when she convinced me to come to challenge you for playing a trick over us?!”April felt devastated. Everything that led her to this point was simply because she made the grave mistake of listening to Daisy. Now that things had gotten this bad and it was public knowledge that the principal of EDU might begin looking into the entire situation, Daisy actually le

“Yes, I understood you, Alexa!” April screamed as she burst into heavy tears. “Just….please, stop!”Alexa finally got to her level of satisfaction, seeing how miserable April looked.“Good! Get this through your brain. Your so-called best friend has left your leash in my grasp, and you answer to me now.”Alexa then turned around with another snap of her fingers. “Ladies, we're done here.”The two sorority ladies let go of the pitiful April with a ruthless push before they walked back to the cars and drove away.April truly felt like a used dog at this moment, sat on the public ground as she wrote in helplessness. She didn't know what to do, and the one friend she thought she could trust had actually abandoned her.Her situation was an incredibly sad one. It has been two days since Benjamin spoke to his grandfather and the two had agreed that Benjamin would deal with Dr. Tank and the other terrible issue that was ongoing with Health-Bind Hospital.Today, he would have to go to court a

“Definitely. Surely, the Whiteridge family's protection force never disappoints. I'm rather impressed.”The middle-aged man then slowly extended a hand.“I'm Lawyer Edmund Rain from Cloak Law Firm. I was hired by the Whiteridge estate to help you take down a burning tear currently causing the foundation of Health-Bind Hospital immense pain.”Benjamin nodded his head. “The Whiteridge estate didn't hire you, Mr. Rain, I did.”The lawyer frowned slightly. “You mean you selected me on purpose. Then why didn't you reach out to me personally?”Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “I have my reasons.”The lawyer stared at Benjamin for a couple of seconds before nodding his head. “Alright.” He then gestured for the building they were heading into.“Please, before you.”Benjamin walked straight into the building with Anthony right behind him, and his soldiers protectively covering him.Benjamin was initially stopped at the door of the courtroom as the hearing had proceeded but he quickly showed th

By the time Benjamin and his soldiers reached Health-Bind Hospital, everything was miraculously in order.It was expected though. Everyone should have known by now that a notable member of the Whiteridge family has ordered for an emergency meeting to be held with the board of directors.The executive members who were charged to court this morning had rushed over to the mega medical center before the young master could. They could still hear the calm but assured threat he had thrown at them.“Anyone late should consider themselves no longer a member of the board of directors.”As Benjamin was led into the hospital building, he found the medical staff members standing in a clean row on both sides of the entrance.“Young Master Whiteridge, welcome to Health-Bind Hospital!”The chant was far from uniformly chorused, but it was quite powerful.These staff members of the hospital couldn't help but take a discreet glance as the powerful man walked past them.Their hopes were dashed, though,

The eighteen people became silent. Benjamin wasn't only here to reprimand them; he was here to find out the truth and thus scared them immensely.Benjamin waited for a couple of seconds but he was met with silence.“You're not going to answer me? Fine, I guess I'll have to start confronting you guys one at a time.”Benjamin gestured for Anthony, who walked over with a bunch of files. He then shook his head slightly as Anthony was about to place these files on the table in front of him.“I don't need these. I've already gone through them in my head multiple times. Give these to the appropriate criminal and let them see it for themselves.”The executive members standing up felt the fear intensify, creeping through their veins as Anthony began dropping a file in front of each and every one of the eighteen people.Seconds later, there were gasps filling the meeting room as these eighteen people opened up their respective files.Benjamin clapped his hands briefly.“As you can see, each of

Benjamin whispered something in Anthony's ear, who then walked over to Dr. Felicia to pass on the message.“He'll meet you in your office.”Dr. Felicia nodded with a smile and quietly walked away, acting like nothing had just happened.Benjamin quickly found a discreet place to change before heading to Dr. Felicia's office.As for Anthony, he pulled off a layer of fake skin, revealing his true face.Unknown to those who didn't know Anthony that well, he was actually wearing a thin layer of techno skin, which altered his face a bit.Unlike Benjamin, whose face was basically covered with a mask, the mask Anthony was wearing was a more advanced one.This is, of course, thanks to the technological advancement of Coretex Tech, one of his grandfather-owned establishments.Benjamin actually ordered ten of these techno facemasks, thinking it might be too much. Instead, Coretex ended up sending more than a hundred techno face masks.This technology was like a piece of facial skin. Once you wer

Of course, some of them, like both parents, needed to go through therapy in the future. After all, Kendra Detroit still needed to get over her depression while Chester’s therapy was one on the physical side.As Benjamin left the mega-hospital, he was reminded that he was yet to get revenge on those bastards who attacked Max and his family.He still hasn't forgotten that it was because of him that Max and his family ended up this way. Therefore, it was his job to deal with them.As Benjamin was being driven back to Sunspot Estate, he conversed with Anthony.“I want to start looking into the underground network of this city.”Anthony was caught off guard by this, but he kept his demeanor.“Young Master, that is a very dangerous territory we'll be venturing into. Are you sure about this?”Benjamin took a few seconds before nodding his head sharply with a slight frown on his face.“I need to take down the bastards who brought me so much trouble.”Anthony released a breath of tension as he

Alexa shook her head as she quickly interjected.“In fact, the money didn't hold as much importance as the trust I had in Daisy. It's just that……I never, in all my years, thought that she would abandon me this way, leaving me to the problems she coerced me into.”Principal Dice raised an eyebrow.“Is this you taking accountability for the mess that has been created?’April sighed and shook her head once again.“I'm not trying to make it seem like I'm not at fault. In fact, I take full responsibility for allowing myself to be played like this. It's just….I don't know what Alexa would do to me once she finds out about what I did.”Principal Dice shook his head as well.“I was actually interrogating her about that very situation, but she, of course, would not confess, especially since the Tyrone boy was with her.” April felt intense fear at this. “Then Alexa wasn't bluffing when she claimed that nothing could touch her. The Tyrone family has become her armor.”April also recalled the th

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

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
