Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 254
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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 255
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

It was the face of a man who looked like Benjamin in his late twenties, but this man had a battered face and his surroundings looked like an enclosed space with dim light.Still, Isaac Shawl could recognize this man. After all, he was the one who hired him to plant the chlorine fluoride tank in Theresa's apartment, which then gave him the ability to blame Benjamin as the arsonist.That's right. The face on Principal Dice's laptop screen is that of the real culprits - the actual arsonist who caused the explosion of Benjamin’s childhood home.Isaac Shawl felt like he was being doused completely in a bucket of ice water, the unforgiven coldness rushing through his spinal cords and permeating through every cell in his body.The shrewd landlord wasn't dumb. Becoming a landlord in a dangerous vicinity of the slums, this man had to hone his street smartness, becoming incredibly adept in maneuvering through terrible situations, especially when the situation was a crime.Just from seeing the r

Watching everything, Isaac Shawl was shaking.Seated right beside him, Benjamin couldn't even watch the screen. Listening to the voice of the true arsonist on the confession video was already enough to get his blood boiling. Though he maintained his putter demeanor, he was currently releasing an uncontainable emotion that bleed into his aura.In fact, unknown to Isaac Shawl, Benjamin’s aura played a part in how he found his body shaking uncontrollably.To be honest, growing up in his childhood home was a long-term trial that constantly tested Benjamin's patience and ability to adapt to a constantly constraining environment.Growing up, most of his neighbors actually bullied him and his grandmother.

“I want the name of the person who hired you.”In reality, Benjamin was already fully aware that the Tyrone family was behind everything that had to do with the arson and even this protest. The fact that such a move was held off for the past six months was an adequate agent of suspicion that there was someone manipulating everything from behind the scenes.The truth was that Benjamin wanted Isaac Shawl to confess publicly, betraying the backer who gave him the guts to fool so many people.Benjamin wanted the old landlord to not only confess in front of Principal Dice and the two police officers, he wanted Isaac Shawl to confess to a bunch of people who had arrived with the two policemen but were hiding just outside the office.Isaac Shawl was currently thinking of how he could maneuver this situation.

Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 1
[What's up, Hot stuff. I'm currently alone at my dorm. Get here as soon as you can, okay? I can't wait to have an amazing night with you. ]Benjamin Knox - a tall young man with a lean but well-toned build - stood right outside the dormitory of his girlfriend. He was currently in an excited state as he checked his cheap phone for the tenth time, reading the text message his lover had sent him earlier today.“Could Alexa possibly be talking about something entirely different? Am I misinterpreting this text?” Benjamin whispered his scepticism to himself, as he still couldn't believe this. Alexa, his girlfriend, had never invited him to her place before. More so, she has never agreed to have sex with him before. She wouldn't even agree to making their relationship public. Though Benjamin had never minded all that, believing that Alexa probably had her reasons. He had been willing to take care of her as best as he could, even giving her most of his salaries saved up from his several pa
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 2
“Fucking hell, Benjamin!” Alexa screamed as she and Andrew dashed for their discarded clothes to cover themselves. “Why the hell did you break into my apartment?! Do you have any idea how much of your salary it would take to fix that?!” Benjamin paid no mind to those words as he pointed at the entire scenery. “Is this why you sent a text? To see all these?” His voice was eerily low. Alexa had a confused expression. “What are you saying? I didn't send you a te….” She paused her words as a realisation crossed her mind. She stared at Benjamin as it became clear that she had accidentally sent her boyfriend a text which was never meant for him. It was meant for Andrew instead. Alexa and Andrew had actually agreed much earlier to meet at her dorm apartment. The text message she had then sent to Benjamin by mistake was supposed to be a reminder for Andrew. In the end, Andrew Tyrone came to her apartment as scheduled, but now, her mistake had led to her hidden affairs with Andrew being exp
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 3
As soon as these words were spoken, all the men in the crowd suddenly dashed after Benjamin, taking him down with brutal punches and kicks. This gave Alexa time to help Andrew up, and they watched with delight as Benjamin was being beaten to a bloody pulp. Minutes later, Benjamin was subdued, tied up by a rope like the lunatic he was being made out to be. These other students definitely wouldn't miss out on a golden opportunity to earn easy $5,000. Therefore, they felt no remorse for Benjamin's pitiful state. He was left struggling in futility to break free. Andrew, who was rubbing his bruised shoulder from the attack he endured, glared down hatefully at Benjamin who was now bound tightly on the ground. “Who do you think you are? You actually dared to lay your disgusting hands on me?!” He roared out at Benjamin with fury, before rushing over to stomp on Benjamin's chest. “Why don't you get up and fight me, you piece of garbage?! You can't, huh?! You think you're so strong, huh?! Why

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
Chapter 251
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
