Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 214
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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 215
The stage had gone awkwardly silent. The guests on the stage glanced at each other with no words right now. They've never met a nobody who would boldly disregard them like Benjamin just did.Each of these guests is powerful in their own right and also known well within New Stone City. It was really rare for them to see someone who was far beneath their status demand respect in such a way.A lot of these guests were pissed, but they didn't dare stand up. After all, they all witnessed how Benjamin had verbally retaliated against the businessman who stood up to him. They didn't want to be publicly disrespected as well.Therefore, they kept quiet.This silence did not help the host at all, as he was hoping one of these guests would put Benjamin in his place. He glanced up at Andrew who remained seated as well.In the meantime, Principal Dice tightened his fists as he watched on, wanting so badly to stand up in support of the Whiteridge family's hidden young master. But then he recalled th

Andrew rolled his eyes in annoyance before focusing back on Benjamin, who was still hell-bent on having his demand met.“Apart from all that, I'm far more concerned about the way these guests would see me. These people are associates of my father. They agreed to my invitation because they wanted to evaluate my worthiness as a favored son of my father.”“If I willingly let Benjamin walk away now, the public shame would only come down on me. These guests would see me as unworthy of my last name, and it would make it hard in the future to become the appointed heir of the Tyrone family's business empire.”Alexa sighed as she struggled to digest the absolute gravity of what Andrew was saying.Still, she understood the important part.“In that case, why don't you just give in to Benjamin’s demand. Let him and his loser group settle on the opposite balcony and let this show on the road. I doubt your guests have all day.”Andrew shook his head. “I can't.”Alexa was confused. “Why not.”“Becau

Lieutenant Jason adjusted himself in the seat.“Your cousin, Ma'am Veronica, was given the task of handling the family's shares within the Tyrone business empire. This happened five years ago after she successfully went through a series of tests that highlighted her honed skills at handling these kinds of assets.”Benjamin raised an eyebrow as he stared down at the balcony above the center of the stage, particularly at the veiled woman.“You said she was tasked with handling the family's assets within Tyrone's business empire. How old is she?”Lieutenant Jason glanced down at Veronica. “I believe she should be twenty-eight years old.”Benjamin nodded his head in understanding. The fact that she was able to gather the trust of his grandfather and the Whiteridge family elders was a testament to her ability.“That will be all. You can return to your post.”Lieutenant Jason stared at his young master with a light frown. He looked like he had more to say, but ultimately chose to keep his m

The huge screen board on the stage lit up, displaying the name of the first organization, along with the amount that was needed to fix the issues hindering the particular organization one way or another.The host announced with a professional smile.“This particular donation starts off at a minimum of $200,000!”The murmurs that traveled through the fried were leveled. A lot of these people came from rich backgrounds, and more than half of them could afford to donate such a sum.Still, $200,000 was the minimum, which meant that this organization would need more than that. Due to this sound being an open bid-off, the maximum amount would not be stated so as not to pressure anyone into a competition.After all, the true competition would start after the first twenty charity organizations have been cleared.“$210, 000!”“$215,000!”“$225,000!”The people in the crowd began offering to sponsor this particular organization. As this amount was quite affordable, a lot of the students in this

The host could relate to the awkward and dissatisfied atmosphere. It was safe to say that he was just as disappointed as them at the low-quality Benjamin was showing in terms of competitiveness.The guests began whispering among each other.“Goodness, it better not turn out that we wasted our time attending this event. This young man is considered a worthy opponent by Mr. Tyrone's son. Could it be that he made a mistake?”“Right? Even though losing is inevitable, I came here with the hope that I’ll witness a good show of bidding off. So why is that orphan boy only countering each bidding increment by just $100,000?”A lot of these guests were dissatisfied with Benjamin's performance, and it showed by the way they sneered up at him on the balcony.On Andrew's balcony, he stared at Benjamin in the distance as he curled up the corner of his lips. He raised his numbered placard.“$10 million!”The host then turned to the other balcony. “And, Mr. Knox?”There was no response from Benjamin,

Benjamin looked down at the hand, barely wrapped out his hand with care, before looking up to find it was April trying to comfort him.He smiled before holding April's hand back. “I don't mind. Don't worry; I'll be fine.”April released a breath containing her worry. Looking into Benjamin's eyes, she could only see the total assurance welling beneath the surface of those light orbs. April could tell that Benjamin had the situation under control despite how it seemed to be working against him at the moment. She became intrigued, curious to see how things would play out.Following the instruction he had discreetly gotten from Andrew, the host waited for a few minutes before he continued with his mission to antagonize and fully humiliate Benjamin.He turned to the guest, bowing at a ninety degree to them.“I would like to formally issue an apology to the esteemed guests who took time out of their hectic day to attend this event. I'm sorry that you had to witness such a ruckus of a momen
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 221
In hindsight, Benjamin's sudden requirements for how he wanted the bid-off challenge to be conducted could be interpreted as him conveying his lack of trust in the coordinators and hosts of this event.Basically, Benjamin was calling out Andrew and his family for their lack of transparency.This, of course, can be seen as a brutal slap to the Tyrone family's face, and after a while, Andrew's sudden burst of anger seemed justified to most of the people in this hall.The audience began gossiping as usual.“Why is Benjamin suddenly asking for evidential transparency? Does he really mean that he doesn't trust the Tyrone family to appropriately disperse the donation prices to these charity organizations?!”“If that's truly the case, this would be the greatest scandal of the year. The Tyrone family are a bunch of billionaires. It would be really shameful to learn that they're embezzling donation funds.”“You guys should shut the fuck up! This is the freaking Tyrone family y’all are talking

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
