A couple of days later, the Detroit family settled into their new home.

Despite knowing that the drunk loser was nothing but a toxic pest in the lives of the Detroit family members, Theresa understood that the Detroit family would still see the dead man as one of

“There is also an immediate ban on illegal ammunition and drugs within this residence! What the hell is going on?! Last time I checked, this is not a fucking estate in one of the pompous districts!”A bunch of new rules had been enacted and these people were not happy about it. Unfortunately for them, there was nothing they could do about it.Unknown to them, a couple of drones captured these neighbors’ reaction to the ‘new regime’, and everything was being broadcast straight to Benjamin's residence.Chester Detroit sat across Benjamin in his private office, watching on a huge screen with a cold smile.Benjamin turned to the older man.“Mr. Detroit, are you happy about this?”Chester nodded his head with a cold gaze. “It feels good, my boy. Watching those who made fun of me now deal with the same issues. For years, my family and I were the butt of the joke. These so-called neighbors saw how helpless I felt being unable to provide for my family and they only made me feel even more ridi

It was finally the day of the charity hosted by the Tyrone family's business empire. Students around the campus, especially those who knew what was going on, were excited to see how the event would play out.As soon as Andrew and Alexa entered the faculty building, some of the students immediately crowded around them, with microphones and cameras on their faces.“Andrew, how confident are you feeling about the competition you have initiated against Benjamin?”“Andrew, can you tell us your budget for today's competition against Benjamin?”“Over here! What would you do if Benjamin happened to win against you?”Andre stopped in his tracks at the lady's question, turning to the reporter who spoke these words.“What kind of a fucking question is that? You think that I, the favored son of multi-billionaires, would lose out to a degenerate orphan whose dumb luck only afforded him a couple of millions of dollars?”The reporter felt the scrutiny but he knew better than to be hesitant. As a pro

“Shut the fuck up, you liar! My baby would never cheat on me. Also, I'm not a gold digger like you, bitch. I truly love Andrew, and it's not for his wealth.”April stifled her laugh as she looked away.As for Olivia, she raised an eyebrow at Alexa.“Are you sure about this? I'm asking because I have proof that you were outside the hotel with your sorority loser friends while I was barely feeling anything under the sheets with your underperforming boyfriend.”“Olivia, I won't take this slander from you!” Andrew pointed at the beauty with fury. He was actually angry at the fact that his sexual ability was being degraded right now.There were people already seated in the Grand Hall, and a lot of them were currently listening to their conversation going on over here.Therefore, Andrew felt utterly humiliated by Olivia’s words as a man.Right now, neither Alexa nor Andrew could look at each other. The truth was out, and Olivia even claimed she had proof. And if there's one thing that could

Benjamin stood in front of his entourage, staring down at the two women who had just been subjected to humiliation. He was pissed. He was very pissed. But no one could tellBenjamin was perfectly masking his current mood to the scene he had just walked in to find.“Are you both okay?”April teared up. “Benjamin.” Her voice conveyed her great relief at the sight of this young man.Benjamin walked over, pulling over his jacket before going down on his knees to wrap it over the porch lady's shoulders.Max was incredibly appalled. This was his first day back on campus. Finding such a horrible scene made him mad. He was right behind his best friend, checking on Olivia while Benjamin was attending April. After all, both girls were subjected to this assault.Max wrapped his $50,000 worth of jacket around Olivia with worry on his face.Olivia, on the other hand, sniffed the jacket before smirking up at Max.“Oooh, my hero is here to save me. Your cologne smells nice by the way.”Max's brain

April nodded her head slowly as she blinked away the tears threatening to fall down her face.“Thank you for saving us.”Benjamin sighed. “I'll make both of them pay for this.” He referred to both Andrew and Alexa.April shook her head. “No, I don't want you getting into trouble just because of what those bullies did to me. Trust me, it's not worth it…..”“Yes, you are.” Benjamin cut April off mid-sentence, his tone was stern, as if he was conveying that he wasn't happy that April was belittling herself.“April, as far as anyone on this campus is concerned, you are my girlfriend. That means Andrew would see you as a significant person of interest who he can exploit to get to me. Then there's the fact that you already have unresolved enmity against Alexa.”April sighed. “Those two won't be leaving me alone any time soon, will they?”Benjamin reached out to gently hold April by her chin, pulling her face up to look him in the eyes.“If this feels a bit too much for you, maybe you and I

Olivia pretended to think about it for a while before wiggling her index finger, gesturing for Max to come closer. She then pulled him in the rest of the way and placed a kiss on his cheek before whispering in a seductive tone.“You get one chance to heighten my interest in you.”Max swallowed hard on his saliva as he felt his body heat up. He understood what was being said. Still, he didn't want to feel like his crush was so easily discernible, so he pretended otherwise, or he tried to, at least.“And what makes you think this is an offer enticing enough for me?”Olivia raised an eyebrow and tilted her head, striking a seductive pose that easily made Max's eyes glade down her body. This instantaneous reaction from Max made Olivia giggle. “It's because you're too easy to read. I know you want me.”Max knew that he'd been totally caught by this gorgeous beauty, and he had no desire to pretend anymore. Thus, the air heated up as he simply stared into Olivia's enchanting eyes, causing

Max was pissed-off at those derogatory words directed at his best friends on purpose. If it had been in the past, he would tell himself to let it go as they were both too weak in power to retaliate and gain back some face.Currently, though, things have become vastly different. He was now aware that Benjamin was the farthest thing from nobody. Max wasn't the only one. Lieutenant Jason was also pissed, tightening his fists that were hidden at his back as he stood at ease. He wanted to teach that host a big lesson, but he needed his young master's command for that.The whole time, Benjamin simply stared at the host antagonizing him Once the host was done talking, Benjamin began walking toward the seats that were pointed to him. He ignored the whisperings of insults by those already seated as he walked by. Unknown to everyone, Benjamin had his eyes on the important guests who were seated on the stage. He could see that there were a lot of charity CEOs, along with the top-tier business

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
