Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 19
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 Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 20
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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 22
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

“My boy, what's wrong?”“Grandpa, I found out today that a close friend of mine is in need of help. You see, his father is currently suffering from a serious illness, and I think the hospital the man is admitted to at the moment is…..not the best, for lack of better words.” He hesitated before asking his question. “Um, Grandpa, is it okay to have his father transferred to a much better hospital? I plan on covering the treatment bills and……” Hunter Whiteridge cut his grandson off as he understood what he wanted. “Benjamin, if you want your friend’s father transferred to a more capable hospital, that's no problem. Just send me his current location and I'll have people from Health-Bind Hospital come get him.”“Wait! Health-Bind Hospital?!” Benjamin's eyes widened before a frown of confusion set in. “Grandpa, that is the most expensive and reputable medical center in America. They only give care to exclusive members, and it takes a lot of criteria to be passed before you can even apply

Olivia, on the other hand, remembered something.“Wait, what about Benjamin's grandma? Her name is Grandma Theresa, right? She must be worried by now. It's nightfall and her grandson should have returned by now. She must be worried sick.”Dread coursed through all three men, more so Anthony and Lieutenant Jason than Max, also with the five soldiers.How on earth were they supposed to explain the situation to Grandma Theresa?Max shuddered as he shook his head.“No, not Grandma Theresa. I can't handle either seeing her angry at me or hurt by this. Both would break my heart.”Anthony sighed.“How are we even supposed to look her in the eye knowing we failed to keep her grandson protected?”Unfortunately for these men, they weren't left with a choice as a call came in.Max retrieved his phone to find it was Theresa Knox calling him.“Fuck! Speak of the devil.” He turned to Olivia with a look of pity.Without a word from this man, Olivia understood what he was begging her to do. Max wante

Max, Olivia, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason were left on the EDU campus till nightfall, waiting for Benjamin to return to them.After the guy had left in the middle of the day, they had hoped with all their hearts that Benjamin would find a way to escape any trap that had been laid out for him, save April, and return to them.Yet, the sky had gone dark and there was nothing but radio silence from Benjamin.At some point, Lieutenant Jason had tracked Benjamin's phone but he couldn't find him. Considering that he was using advanced military tech that was exclusive to the soldiers of the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate’s barracks, it was like Benjamin had vanished from the face of the earth.“What about his car?” Anthony spoke to the lieutenant as they both leaned against the side of Max's car.Lieutenant Jason shook his head.“I’ve tried, but I came up with nothing. It's like the car has vanished from the face of the earth as well.”Olivia sighed as she sat on the hood of Max's car.“Be

Benjamin remained quiet for a brief moment.“It's clear that your objective is to beat me, so I'm allowing it. Though you might need to grab a different bat. The one you just threw away is definitely about to break apart. It won't satisfy your vain desire to torture me.”Andrew, who was certain that he was now alleviated of his pent-up negative feelings, now found his entire body shaking with fury. Benjamin sure knew how to push this guy's buttons.“Bastard! Orphan trash!” Andrew raised his legs, ready to stomp on Benjamin's head when an idea crossed his mind. A sickening smile suddenly replaced Andrew's bitter expression before he slowly went down on his knees to whisper in Benjamin's bruised face.“You know what? I changed my mind. I think physical torture has become dull to me. How about this? I make you watch as Dr. Tank strips your lover on that bed and fuck the shit out of her.”Unknown to Andrew, he had pushed Benjamin over the edge. Sadly, he was too oblivious as he kept ta

Seeing that Benjamin seemed lost in thought, Solomon's dear faded and it was quickly replaced by confidence.“Hey, Benjamin, so what's it gonna be, huh? Are you still not gonna let me go?! Then you can only blame yourself for what is about to happen to….”Benjamin did not want to keep hearing it, so he threw the gun in his hand to the side before taking a step back.“Don't hurt April.”Andrew chuckled at the sound of defeat in Benjamin's voice.“There, I knew you weren't too unreasonable.”As for Solomon, he boldly got back up. He turned around and dusted his expensive outfit before rushing over the punch Benjamin in the face.Benjamin could see the punch coming and there were multiple ways he could have stopped it. But Benjamin knew that April’s safety was on the line here.Thus, Benjamin took the punch willingly.Solomon saw that his punch didn't even make Benjamin move a step backward. Instead, the young man's face simply jerked to the side.This was both a testament to Benjamin's

Benjamin clenched his jaws as he glared heatedly at the newcomers to the scene.Andrew smirked coldly at this.“What?! You didn't expect me, did you? I'm surprised though. How the fuck are you not in jail right now? I paid those losers handsomely to ensure that you end up in handcuffs. Yet, all I got was that the protesters have suddenly turned against the landlord I paid directly to maintain the campaign against you and your reputation.”Benjamin smirked at this.“You should have guessed by now what happened.”Seeing the expression on his enemy's face, Andrew's heart boiled as a realization crossed his mind.“Don't tell me! That was you?!”He was sure that everything was prepared out of Benjamin's sight. He had discreetly paid Isaac Shawl to burn his own house and blame it all on Benjamin. All of this, and more, which led to the protest against Benjamin at the EDU campus, was done in secrecy.Andrew sneered. “How did you find out?”Benjamin kept his gaze, slightly taunting, on Andrew

As a result, Solomon could only watch with increasing agitation as Benjamin brutally beat down all five henchmen.Benjamin was nice with his hits either. By the time he was done, all five men had suffered incredibly jarring wounds that left them unable to even get up.Benjamin turned a smug expression to the furious Solomon, gesturing at his fallen henchmen.“I broke a couple of bones here and there. You said you wanted to hear bones crack, right? You're welcome.”Solomon couldn't endure this. Benjamin was being far too oppressive for his liking.If words got to his father, it would only become a huge cloud of shame on his reputation.“Fuck!” Solomon got up with fury on his face.“My father called me in from France just to deal with you! Failing is not an option!”He quickly grabbed one of the rifles that his henchmen had dropped before going to fight. He pointed it straight at Benjamin.“Let's see you act cool by the time I've blown irreparable holes in your fucking chest!”Seeing th

Inside the under-constructed building, Solomon Tyrone sat on a chair with a level of expensive designs on it, making that chair look completely out of place with the surroundings of the under-constructed building they were in.Solomon watched Benjamin, sending for any degree of fear or even nervousness. He was disappointed when he found none of those.“Mr. Benjamin Knox, you just witnessed me blow up your expensive car. Why are you not upset about this?”Benjamin shrugged. “Simple. I have two other cars just like that.”At this point, Solomon could no longer pretend like Benjamin's nonchalant attitude wasn't getting to him. He was now sporting a sneer on his face.“Benjamin, it seems you have no idea what kind of situation you're in.”He signaled to his men while speaking to Benjamin.“Perhaps I should remind you.”All five men dropped their snipers as they began approaching Benjamin, cracking their knuckles and letting out dark chuckles with teasing expressions on their faces.Benjam

For a couple of seconds, there seemed to be no sound other than the barrage of gunshots that filled the air, commemorating the lives that were being snuffed out brutally at that moment.One of the five shooters raised a hand as he let out a command to the other four.“Halt!”He then whispered to the Tyrone guy.“Boss, they're all dead.”Meanwhile, the subordinate who had received the rifle from the boss stared at Benjamin, a deep frown forming on his face before he called his boss's attention to something.“Boss, look at that kid. He's not normal. He just witnessed us massacre our own men and he didn't flinch. Also, he hasn't changed from his initial position before we fired at those idiots. How is this possible?”The muscular Tyrone man stared at Benjamin with increasing amusement in his gaze.“Damn, it seems my little brother had been facing a hidden tiger cub this whole time. I can't wait to deal with him.”With a sickening smile on his face, the boss straightened his suit jacket b

Minutes later, every single one of these masked men was left on the ground in great pain. Some of them were now without their leather jackets. Some had their clothes completely dirty as they had been dragged brutally across the ground like dirty rags. They all had some form of intense injury from fighting Benjamin.As for the weapons they had confidently held onto, they were now scattered around the fighting area.Benjamin had disarmed every one of these masked men while still not showing any sign of fatigue.In fact, Benjamin has no drop of sweat on his face, and his clothes remain neither dirty nor scrunched. It was basically like he wasn't the one who fought all twelve armed masked men in the first place.A masked man, holding on to his injured back, was able to force himself into a stand.“You….You think just because you can fight that you've won?! I'm going to fucking show you your place, you piece of trash!”The masked man retrieved a pistol, pointing it straight at Benjamin.“Y
