Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 54
Anthony froze at the fact that he had been caught. He allowed a few seconds of silence to pass. “Why….did you call me to be your mouthpiece? You could have used anyone else in this mansion? In fact, it would have been more suited if you had used Head Butler Locks instead.”Benjamin slowly turned to face Anthony while his hands were calmly held behind his back.“Do you doubt that I made a good decision by choosing you?”Anthony quickly shook his head with a slight bow of his head. “Young Master Benjamin, please don't get me wrong. It's just that well…..I doubt that I'm the best fit for something like this.”“If you weren't the best fit I wouldn't have called you in here in the first place.” Benjamin smiled slightly as he walked forward to place a firm hand on the older man's shoulder.“But I'm merely your driver. I don't think I should be allowed this kind of privilege.” Anthony stared down at the ground with a humble demeanor. “Young Master, I don't want people around you gossiping ab

“I want a room on the base floor to be renovated into an office. You can mimic the interior design of this office but I want it to be of a lesser quality overall.”“Oh.” Lia Locks tilted her head. “If I may ask, Young Master, what is this for exactly?”“As you know, I'm limiting the amount of people that are allowed to know my identity right now. I wasn't as well prepared as I would have liked to be before receiving an outsider like that head of security guard.”Lia Locks took a couple of seconds to comprehend Benjamin's words before nodding her head slowly. “So you want to build a separate office, dedicated to receiving outsiders who are not authorized to know your identity.”Benjamin nodded his head with a smile. “I want that office to have an in-built wall of translucent glass. That will be the assigned meeting spot with visitors or guests who are not allowed to see my identity.”This office he was currently seated in should be a place where Benjamin didn't have to hide himself.

The voice of Hunter Whiteridge chuckling could be heard. “Okay, you sound happier to hear from me than I expected you would be. It seems you have really taken this old man as your grandfather.”“Well, that's because you are.” Benjamin quickly replied with a ‘duh’ tone.If either Head Butler Lia Locks or Anthony Wood had been here to witness this, they would have been left shocked by the sudden switch in Benjamin's attitude. His demeanor has gone from this somewhat aloof young master to a child who has long grown fond of his paternal grandfather.“Good, I like that.” Even though others might find it weird that Benjamin was acting too familiar with Hunter Whiteridge, who he had just met not even up to two days ago, Hunter Whiteridge himself didn't find this weird at all.After finding Benjamin, Hunter had been incredibly worried if there would ever be enough time for him to foster a genuine bond with this long-lost grandson of his. He knew he had missed out on his childhood and teenage

At the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate,Hunter dropped the phone and stared into space for a couple of seconds before he suddenly burst into a hearty laughter, his chest shaking with every outlet.The head butler of the prime estate stared at his master with a bit of confusion.“Master Hunter, may I ask what's making you laugh right now?”“My grandson, who else?” Hunter sighed as he sat up straight in his seat. “Herbert, can you believe my grandson suddenly expressed his desire to come to visit me right after I told him how dangerous it could be to be caught by other members of the family?”“He did?” Herbert McKlin was surprised by this. “Young Master Benjamin is showing a lot of guts already.”“Exactly!” Hunter suddenly burst out with a loud tone. “Benjamin reminds me so much of my son right now.” There was a bit of a soon expression on the old man's face right as he recalled memories of his son. “Dallas was an exceptional heir.”Sherbet couldn't help the sad smile that appeared on

“Brody, why didn't you just tell us that you already made an appointment with the big boss?” The driver seemed a bit frustrated as he drove past the black gate.Brody smirked coldly. “Simple; it was fun watching you two almost shit yourself from assuming I would dare show up to the big boss's place unannounced.”The henchmen in the passenger seat let out a breath of relief as the car moved along the lit road. “Brody, this is about that guy from Friday night, isn't it?”“Don't fucking mention him right now.” Brody's Ayra immediately became cold.Of course, the henchmen were talking about the incident in front of the luxurious restaurant with Max and Benjamin. Brody could never wash off the humiliation he had been dealt that night, the same way he couldn't seem to get the taste of the dog shit he was forced to eat out his mouth. Ever since that horrible night, he could've enjoyed his meals in peace without the taste of dog shit being registered in his brain.Brody was certain that his

Stoop Christ is known as one of the most powerful lords in the underground world. For a mega city like New Stone City, there were only a handful of powerful underground lords who owned a significant portion of the massive chain of illegal businesses underground. Stoop Christ is one of those few people.As junior district keeper, those with the same title as Brody Cage are considered to be the runts of the barrels, and so they almost never get the opportunity to speak with the big boss. Yet, Brody had managed to secure not only a private meeting with the big boss but even through an invitation to the bug boss's private residence. But this was only because of what Brody claimed he knew.“You said you had something important to tell me, right?” Stoop Christ spoke with a gentle but husky voice, making him come across as a gentle roughian. Brody smiled with a subservient pose as he took a step forward. “Yes, Don Stoop. There's a……”Brody suddenly halted his words and froze as he heard m

As one of the few powerful underground big bosses of New Stone City, he had seen a lot of intense things and had survived a lot of incredibly dark situations.There are very few situations that could make him lose control over his emotions. Unfortunately for him, one of those rare situations was what ended up ruining his dinner that evening.Those who were versed in the affairs of the city's underworld know that there's deep enmity between the Skull High Gang and the Feudal Gang.“The ability of the big boss to switch instantaneously between the light and dark aura is truly frightening.” One of the henchmen whispered to the other as they both maintained the furthest distance from Brody.“But why is Brody lying to the big boss?” The other henchman whispered to his mate this time. “If this deceit is discovered, isn't Brody afraid of getting skinned alive by the big boss? Also, won't we also be affected?”The two henchmen had no idea that Brody had brought them here to feed the big boss

Her order was final, a glance at Don Stoop made it clear that he was not going to stop his lady from delivering the act of cruelty upon Brody and his henchmen.Brody was pissed at this woman for what she wanted to subject him to, but he knew better than to daringly show his emotion. Therefore, he struggled to hold his smile.“But, Lady Anna, what did I do wrong?”“Did I say you did anything wrong?” Lady Anna gave another fake smile. “This is a token of my appreciation for showing up and disrupting a private date with my baby. Then delivering a piece of information so bad that it has officially ruined our night.”Lady Anna's voice was dripping with sarcasm the entire time. She was angry. She had been angry from the beginning when Stoop Christ made her receive these low-tier people herself. It wasn't too far-fetched to say that whether Brody delivered good news or bad news, it didn't matter to Lady Anna. She had long decided that she was going to humiliate Brody as a way to alleviate h

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
