Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 40
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 frowned slightly as he was about to check further on this notification. But then he quickly reminded himself that he was having a memorable first expensive lunch in his new home with his dearest grandmother. He didn't want to sully his own mood, so he decided to put the phone back. At that moment, a male housekeeper rushed forward to whisper into the head butler's ear.“Head Butler, there's a delivery man from the prime estate.”There was no confusion on Lia Locks’ face after hearing. This shows that she knew who this person was. Thus, she simply nodded her head at this housekeeper before taking a few steps towards Benjamin who was still talking with the Sous Chef who made the dishes they had just finished.“Young Master, may I have your phone for a minute?” Benjamin stared up at the head butler with confusion. “Um …..may I ask why?”Lia stared at him for a few seconds before sighing. “This was supposed to be a surprise, but seeing as you've already finished your meal and t

Theresa kept going on for a couple of minutes before her smile dwindled slightly as she recalled something. “Benjy, I'm still quite worried about what happened with the old residence.”This brought a slight frown to Benjamin's face as well as he recalled seeing the old greedy landlord with Andrew. “Don't worry; sooner or later, whatever plans they've cooked up will be unveiled.” Benjamin gently reached out to hold Theresa's hand as he could see the worry on her face. “C’mon, I'm the grandson of Hunter Whiteridge. Nothing either of those two could do will affect me in any way. Not when I have the name and power of the Whiteridge family as my backing.”Theresa nodded her head slightly as she knew the truth in Benjamin's reassurance. A few seconds later, Lia Locks returned with two boxes. She placed one in front of Benjamin and placed the second one before Theresa.Theresa was not expecting this. “Wut, for me?!”Lia Locks smiled gently. “Of course, I'm aware that you don't have a phon

There was a moment of silence before the masculine AI voice spoke again. “The name ‘Andy’ has a nice ring to it.”Benjamin began talking to the customized AI in his phone as he headed to his bedroom, asking various questions about what it was capable of doing. He was stunned by its basic capabilities.A couple of minutes passed by when Benjamin recalled the notification he received on his old phone.“Andy, I want you to dig out the latest articles on the news surrounding the tunning naked student of Elites Domain University.”“Young Master, would you prefer to read through the article yourself or should I give you a summary?”Benjamin smiled when he heard this. “The latter, please. It would make my research a whole lot easier.”“Alright, Sir. I'll need a minute.”Benjamin walked towards the couch by one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his bedroom. He had expected Andy to truly need a minute to summarize the multiple articles before it would reply to him. But…..Benjamin had only ta

Benjamin got off the couch and began pacing back and forth slowly. He began thinking of another angle. He soon came up with something.“Andy, can you find out if there's any substantial connection between the Tyrone family and Roots Media Globals.”Half a minute later, Andy spoke.“On the surface, the relationship between the Tyrone family and Roots Media Globals seems very low, but…..then I dug into the profiles of important figures at that media police organization.Benjamin was surprised Andy took this initiative but he nodded in understanding anyway. “What did you find?”“Young Master, it seems one of the executives is close friends with the patriarch of the Tyrone family.”The phone screen suddenly lights up to show an old picture of two young men with their arms over the other shoulders while smiling at the camera. They appeared to be in the company of other people. Based on this image, the two men highlighted appeared to be at a classic bar.Andy began explaining. “The man on t

“Grayson, since the Whiteridge family owns more than 90% of the shares, the organization is basically under our command, right?”“Absolutely, Sir. As long as a member of the Whiteridge family does not go overboard, all commands from the family are taken with utmost consideration.”Grayson's words basically implied that refusing an order from a member of the Whiteridge family is not done by Roots Media Globals.Benjamin became even more confident as he gave his instructions. “Then I want you to deliver an order to restore all the deleted posts on the running naked man of Elites Domain University. Not only that. I want 60% of these posts to be promoted for a month. Let them know that this order is coming from the young master of the Whiteridge family.”“Understood, Sir.” Grayson's answer was immediate. “But, Sir, would you like your name to be revealed?”“No, keep my identity a secret. Things should go smoothly without having to reveal my name or face, right?”“Of course, they wouldn't

“The driver who got you here?” Head Butler Lia Locks frowned in confusion. “He should be at his quarters right now.”Benjamin tilted his head slightly. “His quarters…….and where is that exactly?”“It's outside the mansion.” Lia Locks picked up on the confusion on her young master's face. “He's a driver, Sir. It's not allowed for drivers and other outer employees to live within the mansion.”Benjamin nodded his head in understanding. After entering this mansion for the first time, he had been incredibly busy with other issues that he had failed to notice that Anthony Wood didn't enter the mansion with him when they arrived. The man had simply stopped at the bottom of the shirt flight of stairs leading up to the mansion's main entrance.Benjamin brought his focus out of his head. “Alright, please, have him come into the mansion. By the way, I remember there's a private study for me, right?”Lia Locks nodded her head. “Yes, Sir. Is that where you want to have the meeting with Mr. Crow?”

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
