Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 232
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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 233
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

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

“As the loser, you are obliged to give in to three commands of mine.”This was frustrating to an extreme. Andrew had totally forgotten about the initial deal he had made with Benjamin - the very one he had initiated in front of so many eyes and phone cameras recording everything.“Are you fucking kidding me right now?!” Andrew spoke with a growl, glaring hatefully at Benjamin.“You've already humiliated me so many times today, and yet, you still want to fucking cash on the initial bet?! Benjamin, don't you have a damn conscience?!”Benjamin raised a finger with a calm expression on his face.“First of all, every single humiliation you have suffered up until this moment was all your fault. You utilized underhanded means to disgrace me publicly. Unfortunately for you, it all rebounded. You have no one but yourself to blame for those mishaps.”Benjamin saw that Andrew couldn't utter a word to tackle his point. So he raised a second finger.“Also, have you forgotten that you were the one

Alexa nodded her head with an apprehensive expression as she tried to make Andrew understand how bad the situation was for them. “But then your father won't necessarily be able to completely sway the rest of the committee heads to join him in messing with EDU donations in the future.”“Huh?” Andrew frowned with a slight shake of his head. “I don't understand.”Alexa fought the urge to sigh at how uncharacteristically stupid Andrew was being right now. She suspected that the frustration swirling inside him due to the unfavorable turning out of this event was probably trying his brain.“Think about it. Once Principal Dice makes these donations of $10 million each to those one hundred charity organizations, he would become a celebrated figure in New Stone City. Then other high figures, including the mayor, would begin associating themselves with him.”Andrew's eyes widened as he finally connected the dots, whispering his deductions himself.“Once that happens, the rest of the Institutio
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 239
Andrew didn't want to give away such a large amount of money. $1 billion was simply too freaking much to just give away to a bunch of charity organizations that he couldn't give two shits about if he was being honest.Unfortunately, for Andrew, he was caught in a trap. He had lost the bid-off challenge in such a humiliating way, and per the established stakes put in place, he had to honor the winner by granting three commands of his.Benjamin's first command - to give away that $1 billion.Andrew felt like he had as the one being played all along Even more unfortunate for him, Andrew was too proud to not give away that $1 billion. His name and his family's name were on the line at this point. There are videos of the deal being made currently circling the infinite space of the internet. If he went against his agreement now, he would only be looked down on by everyone on campus. Even his crew might start to move away from him.Principal Dice recurved the credit alert in the bank accoun

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
Chapter 248
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

Professor Blanca's expression conveyed her dissatisfaction as she watched April Scott lead the other two into the classroom.“What are you three doing here? Do you realize that I can have you all punished severely for interrupting my class with a sensible reason?!”Olivia discretely glanced at the middle-aged teacher with disdain, mumbling to herself.“What lecture? None of your students are even in their seats at the moment.”Max doesn't reiterate this though. Instead, he spoke with a slightly gentler tone.“We're sorry, Professor, but we saw the commotion outside the faculty building and we had to check on our friend.”Professor Blanca rolled her eyes with a show of annoyance.“You came from your classes to check on your friend because you're worried about him? What about the victims he killed and the victims he stripped of their properties? Who would come to their aid, huh?”Professor Blanca pointed at Benjamin, making sure she had the attention of not just Benjamin’s friends, but

“Hey, are those reporters?! Woah! There's a lot of them!”True to these words, everyone found up to ten reporters' vehicles driving toward the faculty building. As soon as they reached their destination, these reporters and their camera people flooded out of their vans to speak to these protesters.“Sir, may I have a moment of your time?” A female reporter had quickly targeted a nearby man, hoping to gather scoops first. “What exactly is this protest about?”Of course, the other reporters were not slacking either. They rushed over to other protesters as well.Meanwhile, the older man being interviewed by the first reporter spewed out everything.“Look at the banners!” He directed the reporter's gaze to Benjamin’s face on the banner. The cameraman with this female reporter also captured the banner in the older man's grasp.The older man continued. “This boy is the devil's incarnate. On the night he and his grandmother decided to never return, they burned down a significant portion of

With Andrew not around on campus for a month now, the surroundings became easily peaceful for Benjamin and his crew. With no Andrew around, there was naturally no Alexa around. It wasn't too hard to deduce that the $1 billion that Benjamin had taken away from Andrew had caused a temporary crippling of his financial status.In addition, his father - Simon Tyrone - had publicly poured all the blame on his son. It was fair to say that Andrew was under house arrest as a form of discipline from his father.Either way, this ensured that Benjamin, Max, April, and Olivia were able to focus on their studies without being worried that there was a scheme underway.In fact, neither the sorority girls nor Andrew's goonish crew came looking for trouble. These people didn't have the powerful backing they usually did to escape any punishment for bullying people.With Benjamin's superior display of wealth, these people felt like they had to get even more careful when it comes to looking for trouble,

At a hidden base,Boss Jude sat on a comfortable couch, ignoring the two naked women kissing his neck and sliding their slender fingers over his torso as he stared at the tablet screen in his right hand.On the screen of this tablet phone was the information of a certain profile being displayed on it. This person was one other than Benjamin.“Yeah, it's definitely the strong kid from that night. Benjamin Knox, huh?”Going through the details, Boss Jude could see that Benjamin attended Elites Domain University, along with his background as a poor orphan with little to no money in his bank account.“Then where did such a kid get armed men with incredible stealth?” Boss Jude murmured to himself before groaning in frustration.“Call me my leftie, now!”One of the lower subordinates outside this private room immediately answered. “Yes, Sir!”A few minutes later, Brody now stood before his boss.Boss Jude kept his gaze on the screen of the tablet phone as he questioned his newly assigned le
