Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 64
The housekeepers knew they had crossed a line. So they bowed apologetically before they rushed back inside the mansion. The mention of Benjamin's dead father brought a moment of awkwardness to them. Benjamin's eyes held ominously at that moment. Theresa held the young man's hand tighter, letting him know that she was there.Herbert sighed before bowing. “Apologies for those bratty housekeepers running their mouths, Young Master.”Honestly, Benjamin didn't know how to feel hearing about his father. He barely knew both him and his biological mother.As long as Benjamin could remember, Benjamin was raised by Theresa. The old woman was the only one she felt a sense of parental bond towards.Benjamin brought his attention back to the present and he nodded while giving a tight-lipped smile. “It's nothing. Where's Grandpa?”“In his office,” Herbert spoke with a professional demeanor as if the last few seconds didn't even happen. He led them into the mansion.Herbet turned a warm gaze to the

“At the moment, there are none of the family members in the estate.” The female voice responded to the patriarch. “They should have all returned to their respective estates, Sir.”The call quickly came to an end as Hunter confirmed to his grandson that he was in the green.Hearing this, Benjamin nodded his head with a slight smile.“I'm glad to hear this. Honestly, I brought a disguise with me in case it turns out that there are relatives around.”Hunter stared up at his grandson for a couple of seconds. “Benjamin, are there any other reasons you don't want to see your blood relatives that I don't know about?”Benjamin stared down at his grandfather with a clear expression. “No, there are no other reasons. I'm simply taking things seriously.”Benjamin understood his grandfather being suspicious of him and he was aware that he was outwardly taking this intention of total avoidance very seriously. Anyone who saw the way Benjamin was making sure to keep away from the rest of the Whiteri

Herbert allowed a moment to pass before speaking again. “Your relatives….they're the ones who bear the brunt of these assassination attempts. Being members of the family on top also means that you're susceptible to being besieged from all sides. That's why we have a private barracks. Men and women are trained heavily before being assigned to protect members of the family.”“So these military men and women are our family's owned bodyguards.” Benjamin wasn't asking a question but rather making a conclusive statement from everything Herbert had said. He nodded his head. “Got it.”The black jeep never stopped for a moment in the barracks. Anthony was instructed by Herbert to simply drive around the barracks before they left.Benjamin was absolutely fine with this. He wasn't interested in interacting with these soldiers for the moment.The tour was over within three hours. Now, Anthony drove them back to the main mansion.On their way back, Herbert glanced at Benjamin. “Young Master, how i
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 67
Herbert, who walked behind both the young master and the driver, noted the interaction. He had also heard the whispered words between the housekeepers, but he pretended otherwise. He wanted to see how Benjamin would react to this, and he was quite surprised by it.This moment with the whispering went by in a minute. The group of three men soon reached the living area, and Benjamin was surprised at what he found there.At some point during his tour around the estate, Hunter had left his office and come down to meet Theresa Knox. Right before Benjamin's eyes, Theresa was blushing furiously as she was chatting with Hunter. The almost comical part of this, though, was that Theresa was giggling like a teenage schoolgirl as Hunter held her left hand in his palm, thanking her for adopting Benjamin and raising him to be such a fine and capable young man.Benjamin felt awkward as he couldn't bear watching his grandmother acting all flustered. It was simply too much for his eyes. He almost di

“Hello, Young Master Benjamin. It's nice to be able to greet you in my projected form.” The male head made of blue light smiled at Benjamin.Benjamin had to take in a deep breath to calm himself. He then steadied his shaking hands as he stared down at this holographic figure. “A….Andy?”“Correct, Young Master Benjamin. It is I, Andy.”While Benjamin was still thinking of what to say, a gentle chuckle Drew his attention to the middle-aged man sitting across from him.John Biggs found the situation funny but he quickly cleared his throat and spoke with a lightly stern voice. “WOC-0054, what did I tell you about being naughty?” The holographic head turned to the CEO of Cortex Tech. “Sir Biggs, you warned me to avoid doing this to you, but you never instructed me to not do this to others.”“Still, look at the state you put your owner in. Apologise to him.” John Biggs frowned deeper.There was a moment of silence from the holographic head before he sighed and turned back to Benjamin.“You

Kendra’s eyes shifted between her son and scared daughter before sighing. “Son, the money we had was never enough for your father's hospital bills. Those loan sharks were never going to borrow our family a single cent more since we hadn't even paid the amount we owed in a long time. So…..I borrowed from Mr. Hay, in exchange for having him hold the house as collateral.”Max felt a weight press on his shoulders, tempting him to just let go of his scared little sister and succumb to the ground.“Mom, why…….why didn't you tell me any of this?”Before Kendra could answer her son, they heard a ruckus near the bungalow entrance. There, everyone found the drunk lanky man trying to force his way past the line of hefty-looking men.“Let me through? I'll fuck you guys up if you don't get out of my way.” The lanky man spoke while wobbling. He was too drunk to even stand properly on his feet.“Uncle Jerry, what are you doing?!” Max grounded out. “Just stay aside! Don't go looking for more trouble!

The neighbors began whispering among themselves, wondering who these people could be.Meanwhile, Mr. Hay froze up as soon as he saw these vans. “Hey! Let this boy go! Let him go right now! They're here!”Max was in a pretty bad shape by the time those hefty-looking men released him. Still, he summoned enough energy to get up and check on his mother.Kendra teared up weakly as she held her son's battered face. Meanwhile, Mr. Hay had changed his demeanor as those vans opened up and many men walked out with guns in their hands.The neighbors quickly became scared, and within a minute, everyone scattered and rushed back into their house. No one wanted to mess with these newcomers.There are currently over thirty men who came out of these vans. They looked more threatening than the hefty-looking men around Mr. Hay.Max's attention was inevitably drawn to these people, and he saw as these scary men opened the jeep and a muscular middle-aged man walked out in a fitting suit and sunglasses.

Brody immediately nodded his head. “I swear on my family's grave that it's him.” He pointed straight at Max. “This bastard was pulled in by his friend to become spies for the Feudal Gang.”“Wait, what?!” Max was lost at first when he heard this brief conversation between the muscular newcomer and Brody. But then it quickly hit him and his eyes widened in shock.“Spy?! What spy?!” Max turned his attention to the terrifying muscular man. “Sir, don't believe him! I'm just a….” He didn't get to finish his words.“Shut the fuck up!” Brody gritted his teeth as he delivered a brutal kick to Brody's chest, sending him straight to the ground. “Maximus!” Kendra yelled out weakly as she couldn't even get up properly to check up on her son. She was still in a lot of pain following the kick to the chest she had received from Mr. Hay.“Max!” Gina screamed at the top of her lungs at the sight of her brother being kicked in the chest as well. Still, she was still holding her mother's head on her lap

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
