Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 34
Anthony stared down at the kneeling and pleading security guard for a moment before a cold smirk spread on his face. “Oh, so you finally figured out who my boss is, huh?”The security guard glanced up at this man before the realisation set in that he was currently begging the driver. He shifted his gaze to the young man and old woman who remained seated in the car's rear seats. Even though he couldn't see their faces past the tinted windshield right now, he had seen their faces when he first spoke to this driver earlier.“Mr. Whiteridge Sir! Mrs. Whiteridge Ma'am! I'm really sorry for what has happened today! Please, forgive my ignorance! It won't happen again!”This security guard’s voice was intensely loud. So much that his words echoed through the usually calm air at the gates. Those vehicles and pedestrians getting checked before passing through the gates all had their attention on this security guard.This inevitably made everyone present here take notice of the car Benjamin was

Theresa's eyes widened slightly as she looked around her. She was so used to her reality of not letting most things around her matter to her. That's why she had yet to fully digest that her life was no longer that of a disrespected pauper.Benjamin frowned slightly as he recalled something while glancing down at the kneeling man. “When that security guard ordered us to exit this car a while ago. You and I were immediately about to oblige. We would have done as he instructed us. Anthony hadn't signaled us to sit back.” Benjamin shook his head. “Our behavior just then did not reflect our elevated status.”Theresa understood what his grandson was telling her. They needed to be more active in the way they reacted to how they were treated by people. From now on, they must never succumb easily to threats as it would only make them appear unfit for the Whiteridge family's power and social influence.Theresa sighed. “Adjusting to our new lifestyle will not be easy at all, my dear. But I beli

Minutes later, the car approached a large golden gate.“Young Master Benjamin, Mrs. Knox, we're here.”Theresa gasped at the sight before her.The main gate was made in unique line patterns that gave a unique artistic feeling. As the gate was completely obstructing the view, one could see the green pasture that lay on either side of the tiled road.Theresa and Benjamin could see the stretch of lush trees on either side of the road behind this gate as well.Benjamin was amazed at the beauty he was witnessing without even getting inside yet. Still, he could see that this place couldn't measure up to the beauty that the Whiteridge Prime Estate possessed.If Theresa was shocked by the beauty of what she was seeing now, she would definitely pass out if she saw the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate.Anthony rode the car to the main gate and a call suddenly appeared on the screen built into the car. He answered the call.“State your business.” A feminine voice came through the call.“I'm Anth

Immediately, the men and women behind his butler did the same thing, welcoming Theresa formally as well.Lia Locks then clapped her hands and the men and women behind her created a path to the entrance of the mansion.“Young Master, Mrs. Knox, please, come into the mansion.” Lia Locks gestured to the opened path.Still holding Theresa's hand, Benjamin led the way inside the mansion. Theresa was immediately reminded of what Anthony had told her about this place being more of a paradise than the roads that led them here. The driver was right.The interior design of this mansion was exquisite and the living area was well furnished with complementary items and colours. It was vibrant in a calm sense.“Grandma, I think we should go to bed first.” Benjamin quickly called back Theresa as he could see her curiosity growing. Theresa poured, not liking this idea. “Benjy, shouldn't we check this place out thoroughly before thinking of rest? This place is huge, and I'd hate to get lost.”“Grand

[Hold on. Isn't this guy from a rich family, though? Is his family just gonna allow him to be humiliated like this?][Yeah, I thought the same thing as well. Or could it be possible that the Tyrone family is not as powerful as we thought?][Yo! You dipshits don't even know what you're tapping here online about. Watch and see how the Tyrones will bring this video down soon.]Benjamin frowned slightly as he read the comments to this point. He was also beginning to wonder why The Tyrone family hadn't done anything about this video yet. With the way this video and others like it have been going viral, he would have expected such a powerful family to have taken action by now.Benjamin continued reading the comments:[Yeah, I agree with this. The Tyrone family definitely wouldn't do nothing.][Then why is it taking so long? Looks like the people are really overrating this family.][This is actually the least of my concerns right now. What about the people who posted these videos online? I

Andrew could only take in his father's cold tone as he obeyed the command.“What were you thinking indulging in an act of stupidity like that?!” Simon slapped his desk with the fury he was feeling. “Do you have any idea how bad this makes me look?!”“Dad, it's not what you think?” Andrew quickly corrected his father. “I….I had to do this against my will! I really had no other choice!”Simon Tyrone scoffed. “What the hell do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that someone from that university of yours forced you - a son of the Tyrone family - to run around campus naked?!” Andrew stared at his father before nodding his head. “It was Principal Dice who enforced it. At that point, I had no choice.”Simon's face stiffened before his frown deepened. “Principal Dice? As in Augustin Dice?! That man forced you to run around the campus naked?!” Anger bubbled thicker within him. “He dared to do such a thing to my son!”Seeing his father's anger now directed at someone else, Andre straighte

By the time Benjamin woke up, it was already 02:00 pm. Thankfully, this was the weekend, and he could focus his mind on other matters apart from school.Benjamin took a better look at his bedroom this time, as he had been too exhausted earlier. With him taking the much-needed sleep, his mind was much clearer now.The master bedroom was much bigger than he had seen before going to bed. With no one here with him, he lifted the huge curtains blocking out the bright sun beaming into the bedroom through the two floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom became much brighter as a result. He marveled at the lavishness this place screamed off.A part of Benjamin still couldn't believe this was now his life. He quickly retrieved his phone to find it was now at low battery. Unfortunately, he had left the charger back at his former home, which had been burned in the explosion.Benjamin refused to dwell on the issues surrounding this topic as he searched through his phone and logged into his bank acc

Minutes later, the head butler guided Benjamin to the nearby bedroom, and he knocked before hearing Theresa's voice come in.Inside the bedroom, Benjamin could see Theresa giggling with five young maids kneeling by the foot of a wide couch next to the single floor-to-ceiling window. Theresa herself was seated on the couch while there were stacks of outfits around her, along with boxes of necklaces and bracelets for women.Benjamin couldn't help but feel his heart lighten immensely at the bright sight of his smiling grandmother. She genuinely looked happy right now.“I see you're having fun, Grandma. Am I welcome to join?”At the top familiar voice, Theresa jerked her head up at the entrance to find her grandson in an exquisite but “Benjy, you're finally here!” She jumped off her couch and ran towards him.Benjamin took quick steps forward as well, meeting his old woman in the middle with a warm hug and a chuckle.“Calm down, Grandma. You're acting like we haven't seen each other in a

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

“That is a risk I'm willing to take. As long as April comes out of this unharmed, I'm fine.”Max was left shocked at this reply. Looking at his best friend's face, he could tell that Benjamin showed no hesitation even though the possibility that he was going to be in great danger was high. He persisted one more time.“Ben, what if this person's intention goes beyond just harming you? What if the intention is to kill both you and April?”Lieutenant Jason jolted up, knocking his head against the roof of the jeep as he heard those words from Max's mouth.“That won't happen! I won't let the boss get into that kind of danger.”Anthony spoke to Benjamin with a soft tone, conveying his deep worry.“Boss, please, reconsider. I doubt this person would hurt April even if you don't meet the conditions that have been given to you. It's clear that the main target here is you.”Olivia nodded her head reluctantly, thinking through multiple angles of this situation.“I think your bodyguard makes a lo

In the satellite footage obtained by Andy, everyone saw that the ambulance that was used to transport April to the hospital had actually been intercepted midway by two masked men on a bike.These two men wore full-on leather jackets, pants, boots, and hand gloves.While the one in front maintained the bike’s velocity with that of the ambulance. The other pulled out a gun and pointed it at the medics driving the ambulance.Due to the satellite footage being without audio, Benjamin and his group couldn't understand what was being said. But that wasn't necessary as this could be easily deciphered.The footage displayed as the ambulance soon came to a stop and the two medics came out with their hands raised in the air.It was clear that the masked man with the gun had threatened to kill these medics if they didn't stop the ambulance. Obviously, the medics had no choice but to concede to the threat.Unfortunately for them, they still ended up with a bullet each drilled into their brains by
