“Are you deaf? I want you to scoop up that gum into your mouth.” Brody chuckled darkly. “Oh, and I better not see either of your hands move. You have to scoop it up off the ground with your tongue, like a good little dog would.”

That was it. Max had had enough of this humiliation. “Get away from me!” He slapped away Brody's hand still gripping his hair. “I won't take this anymore! You guys have gone too far!”

“Not far enough! You'll remain my dog until I'm satisfied!” Brody quickly kicked Max to the ground before the young man could get to his feet. He then turned to his henchmen. “What are you guys still standing over there for?! Hold this bastard down!”

The henchmen rushed over to do exactly what they were told. They forcefully held Max down on the ground, and Brody began stomping on his back. Max could only struggle against the henchmen in futility.

It was this horrible scene that Benjamin found when he finally came out of the restaurant. He was in momentary shock as he couldn't be

    “Shut your fucking mouth!” Brody was getting ready to really use this dagger in Benjamin to show he was really serious, and shouldn't be messed with.Benjamin raised a finger. “One. Your time for easy redemption has now passed.”A second later, the convoy of luxurious cars finally reached the front of the restaurant. Brody and his henchmen were caught off guard as these cars immediately surrounded them, trapping them in a circle. They were utterly stunned at the sight as they glanced around them in slight fear, wondering what powerful figure was there.The car doors opened up at the same time, and about twenty men walked out of the cars, all looking incredibly well-trained. They were all in uniquely designed uniforms with one of them spotting a special design on his uniform. This signaled that he was probably the leader.Brody involuntarily took a step back as he stared at these people. He could feel the oppressive aura they possessed even though they simply stood surrounding him and

    Benjamin sneered. “ What?You don't like it? I'm just doing you a favor, helping out a hungry stray dog. That's what you said to me just now, isn't it?" Brody could tell that Benjamin was giving him a taste of his own medicine. This elicited intense fury within his heart, but he knew there was nothing he could do against Benjamin right now, not when he had these scary-looking military people around.Benjamin saw that despite the evident fear, Brody was still unwilling to comply. “I can see that you need a bit of motivation to obey my command.” He shifted his gaze to the leader of the men. “Teach them what happens when they disobey.”“Understood, Sir.” The leader then instructed his men. “Deal with all three!”Fear gripped the two henchmen and they tried to run away, but they were easily caught by the strong and agile men in uniform.The leader's face was cold as he gave an order. “Break three of their right fingers!”In the next few seconds, there were sounds of sickening cracks, foll

    Benjamin and Max headed into the restaurant, and they began glancing around.“Hey, where's your grandma?” Max tapped Benjamin's shoulder. “I thought you told her to come in here.”“I did,” Benjamin confirmed as he utilized his tall body, craning his neck to see into the distance. It didn't take long before he spotted his grandmother seated at a golden table surrounded by golden lights. Benjamin smiled at his grandmother until he realized that she looked very uncomfortable, causing his smile to dwindle slowly.A few seconds later, a waiter walked towards her with an arrogant expression on his face. “Ma’am, I've told you before that you can't sit here without ordering anything yet.” He looked down at Theresa Knox with disdain. “Also, it's clear that you're not meant to be seated at a gold table with the way you're dressed.”The old woman seemed to curl in on herself at the clearly insulting words directed at her. She then looked down at the poor-quality outfit she had on. “Um, I'm sorr

    Meanwhile,“Oh, Benjy, thank goodness you're here.” Theresa felt relief wash over her as she saw the two young men. She quickly held her grandson’s hand. “My dear, I….I think we should leave this place.”Benjamin smiled at his grandmother, holding her hands to show his support. “Don't worry about it, Grandma. I saw everything. Trust me, everything is going to be fine. We don't have to leave this place.” He then turned a stare at Max, silently urging him to support him.Max had no idea why Benjamin was being insistent on remaining at this restaurant, especially seeing how they themselves might end up humiliated due to the way they were dressed as well. Also, the fact that a glass of water costs $1,000 really rubbed him the wrong way.Still, Max understood that he had to follow the ‘Bro-Pact’ he had with his best friend.“Grandma Knox, Benjamin knows what he's doing. Don't worry; we came to have an amazing dinner, and there was never a rule in this restaurant about being dressed in a pa

    Theresa Knox heard these words and she could only look down in humiliation, feeling the hurtful words from this family pierce her heart. She really regretted walking into this restaurant.Max couldn't beat these words too, and he quickly brought his gaze down, trying to look as small as possible.The waiter was getting pissed at this point. “Young man, please, take your fellow street rats and fuck off. Can you see how uncomfortable you've made the other customers?” He still kept his voice at a low tone as he didn't want to be caught insulting these people. As an employee, he needed to maintain a level of self-respect. “Do you even have any idea how costly the diamond-tier room is?”“The diamond-tier per reservation alone costs $2,000.” The other waitress suddenly began giving the details of the prices, hoping that it would finally scare off Benjamin's group. “Then the cheapest meal you can get at that room is $5,000.” She sneered at Benjamin. “Can you afford that?”Benjamin smirked. “

    Benjamin, Theresa, and Max all heard the waiter's words to his fellow employee.“Wait, what are they doing?” Max was confused. “Do we really need protection while eating?”Benjamin shifted a dead gaze at his best friend. “C’mon, those bouncers are definitely not to protect us. They probably think we'll dine and dash, so those bodyguards are actually to keep us from escaping if we don't pay after eating.”Theresa Knox shook her head. “Isn't this going too far? Why would we go through so much trouble just to run away after eating here?” She huffed at the treatment they've been getting.“Grandma, don't think about it too much, okay?” Benjamin rubbed his grandma's back to help her calm down. He then turned to his best friend. “You too. Stop worrying too much.”Max, who seemed to be zoned out a second ago, was jolted back to reality. He shrugged his shoulders. “What?! I didn't do anything? Why would I be too worried?”Benjamin chuckled at his best friend's futile attempt to lie to him. “Gu

    The group of five wait staff members and three bouncers were left astounded. They even couldn't help glancing at each other, like children caught with their hands in a cookie jar.“That….This can't be real! It really can't!” The waiter was in utter shock. Yet, the proof was right in the portable device, reflecting the transaction that had just been made.Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “Is your brain no longer working right? Perhaps, you would like to inform your manager that you're no longer fit for this job, huh?”“You!” The waiter, feeling deeply insulted, was about to retort but he quickly halted himself. At this point, he was certain that he would definitely get into big trouble should Benjamin report him to his superior.The main reason this waiter had treated Benjamin and his people like trash earlier was because he was sure that they couldn't pay. Therefore, he could easily provide a reasonable excuse for treating them poorly. Now that Benjamin had proven that he truly was a custo

    The staff members quickly gathered before the manager, expressing their respect for him.“The customer who recently dined in the diamond-tier room? Oh, he has left with the two people he came with.” The waiter gave this reply with a sneer. “Manager, do you also find something strange about that guy as well?”“Huh? What are you talking about?” The waiter misread the confused manager, which unfortunately encouraged him. “Sir, we should call the police on that young man and the people he dined with. Not only did he enter this restaurant looking like a disgusting beggar, he even brought his ragged grandmother and his friend.”Seeing the manager visibly tense up and tighten his fists, the waiter assumed that he was angry at the customer, which urged him to continue talking trash about Benjamin. “Manager, there's no way that black card that he paid with belongs to him. The man has probably stolen it from someone. We need to arrest him and make him regret ever…..”The waiter's words were cu

    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

    The hallways of the Faculty of Management Science were filled with noise. The students who had been ordered out of the grand hall were now being heavily interviewed by passionate reporters and their camera crew who wished to know everything that had gone down inside the grand hall.Those who were still in a state of annoyance walked away from these reporters, while those who didn't have any problem gladly gave away all that they knew.One thing was prominently being spread at this point: Andrew and his family's name was being tarnished due to the corrupt acts they'd been caught indulging in. Back in the grand hall,Every single person on the balconies was made to come down to the stage. The guests and Principal Dice stood on one side, Andrew and his crew stood on another side, Benjamin and his crew stood on one side, while Young Mistress Veronica and her soldiers stood in the middle of these people.Veronica glanced at the faces of everyone here before stopping on Andrew.“I've gone

    Principal Dice, who had silently watched everything from the sides, not daring to intervene wantonly, now had multiple eyes on him.“Um…sure.” He gathered himself and calmly headed up to where the young mistress from the Whiteridge family was located.He slowly approached Veronica. “Young Mistress, you called for me?”Veronica slowly turned to the older man with a calculated smile before passing on her message.On Benjamin's balcony, Max, Olivia, and April had their necks craned forward.“What is she talking to Principal Dice?”“I don't know. Obviously, she had her microphone turned off so we can't hear anything.”April squinted her eyes. “I think….I think that woman is trying to save Andrew's face as best as she can.”Max and Olivia glanced at each other with confusion on their faces before turning to April and speaking at the same time.“What do you mean?”April sighed. “I'm not completely sure, but I think Young Mistress Veronica might make Principal Dice call off this event finall

    Part of her studies was the influence of the human psyche, so she was able to intimidate people with her gaze alone. Yet, what Veronica saw Benjamin do was……for lack of better words, far more dangerous, with an air of chaos in it.She could decipher this precisely because…..well, she felt a bit of that fear that was solely directed at the unfortunate lawyer.Benjamin's range of psychological influence felt raw but far more intense than she could ever achieve.She couldn't help but whisper to herself. “Where did he learn that?!” The head of Veronica's security team immediately noticed his young mistress’s slight change in mood, and he walked over to carefully whisper to her.“Young Mistress, are you alright?”Veronica doesn't answer this, but instead double-down on her earlier instructions.“Find every nook and cranny of the story in that young man. Don't you dare miss any bit of information? He's not normal…..at all. Throughout this event, he's been standing out in ways that he simp

    Andrew definitely felt fucked over at this point. Here was the most powerful person in this grand hall - Veronica Whiteridge - ordering him to share his chat history with his father in public.If this was any other day and occasion, this request would have definitely been incredibly absurd, not to mention it would be a blast any invasion of privacy.Yet, this conundrum was something Andrew himself had caused, all in an attempt to publicly humiliate his rival.Unfortunately, Andrew not only found himself humiliated three times over, he was about to be forced into a terrible situation that could cause a hit against his family's name and reputation.Andrew slowly reached out to retrieve his phone while thinking of reasonable excuses to not make this happen in the end. “Um, Young Mistress Veronica, isn't this request a little too much? Considering the great reputation of my family, it is kinda invasive to ask me to share personal information with the public.”Andrew then glanced at Senio

    “What lies have I told though?”Andrew laughed with a tone of mockery. “What kind of fucking question is that?! You just opened your fucking mouth and started spouting lies against me and my family!”He scoffed with a look of disbelief. “You know what?! Keep it up! I will have enough evidence to charge you to court for defamation by the time you're done running your mouth!”There was a moment of silence before Benjamin slowly pulled out his phone.“Can you really claim that I'm running my mouth when I have evidence to prove my claim?”Andrew was about to give a heated reply in his fit of rage when the words were immediately comprehended in his mind.“W…what are you talking about?”Benjamin turned to the huge screen in the hall.“I will be connecting my phone to this screen to show everyone here something.”Within seconds, Benjamin was connected to the electronic screen and he quickly shared an image that made those who read it gasp in shock after they took their time going through th
