The lawyer chuckled nervously as he took a couple steps closer to the balcony above the stage.

“Young Mistress Whiteridge, please…..I hope you can understand that the chairman had no intention of disrespecting you or anyone here in any way. It's just that….”

“There is no excuse for the cancellation of an event that has been ongoing for hours now. There's no amount of reasoning you can provide to justify this.”

“But…” The lawyer was sweating bullets as he tried to reason with this woman.

“Silence!”

The thunderous sound from the male soldier standing at the side of the balcony, caused everyone to jerk their heads with fear. This soldier was probably the head of Veronica's security team.

“My mistress is not done addressing you, so do not speak when it's your turn!”

The lawyer swallowed a lump of saliva as he nodded his head.

Unexpectedly, Veronica chuckled as she waved a lazy hand at the male soldier.

“Lieutenant Jasper, please, calm down. I'm afraid you might cause more trouble with

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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
