Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 66
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

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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 72
Max's little sister, Gina, quickly got on her knees while pleading with her palms pressed together. “Please, let my brother go! I'm begging you! He's really not the spy you're looking for! Whatever you think he did, I promise that you've got the wrong person!”While mother and daughter are trying their best to get past those armed men holding them back, the lanky uncle, Jeremiah, has become sober after witnessing his nephew be brutally beaten up. Still, he remained huddled in the corner he was put in, not willing to risk being beaten up as well.Getting pissed by the distraction, Jude has his men take all three family members to another room and lick them up there. He couldn't hear the yelling and thrashing.After being kicked in the only toilet in the entire building, Gina and her mother kept trying to break out. Jeremiah, though, remained as unbothered to join as ever.“Uncle!” Gina took notice of this. “Uncle, don't just sit there. Are you just gonna sit there and let them beat my

Max still couldn't see completely as his face was still blurry with blood. Still, he quickly pulled out his phone, with the screen now cracked.“Forgive me.” He whispered with a broken voice as he called Benjamin's number.“Put it on loudspeaker mode,” Jude said as he saw Max place the phone on his ear.The phone rang for a couple of seconds before the call was then answered.“Max, what's up?! Have you gone to see your dad yet?” Benjamin's calm voice came through. “I confirmed that he has been transferred to Health-Bind Hospital. He's doing better now, right?”Max shut his eyes for a moment to steady his voice. “Um, yeah. Yeah, I….uh, I saw him yesterday. He's doing good.”There was a few seconds of silence before Benjamin spoke again. “Alright, that's good to hear.” Judging by his voice, it seems he didn't detect anything suspicious. “Bro, sorry that I haven't called after that night at the restaurant. It's just that I've been busy. You're doing good though, right?”Jude was tired of

The last thing the old woman needed right now was to find out that her dear grandson was attacked at gunpoint on his way back from school. Benjamin had witnessed Theresa endure so much turmoil for over two decades just for his sake. And that doesn't even include the horrible things she faced before adopting Benjamin.Right now, Benjamin was determined to keep his godly grandmother away from anything that would make her sad. He had made an oath with himself to keep her happy for the rest of her life.At this point, Head Butler Lia and the male soldier were lost for words. After everything Benjamin had narrated, they knew in their hearts that Anthony could never be treated the same ever again. The driver would now forever be known as the young master's life savior.Head Butler Lia was not happy about this. So she turned her anger on the make soldier.“And where the hell were those assigned to protect the young master today?”The male soldier didn't expect his partner in crime to sudde

Head Butler Lia noticed the pissed-off look on her young master's face, and she quickly took a mental step back, softening her voice with a slight bow of her head.“Apologies, Young Master Benjamin. I had no idea that it was you who chose to eat at such a place.”Benjamin reigned in his reaction as well. “I want you three to come up with me to my study. We have some things to discuss.” Head Butler Lia exchanged a glance with the male soldier who had just arrived with Anthony. It was obvious that the young master was starting to attach a level of importance to this lowly driver. Once Benjamin and the other three arrived inside his private study, they settled down.Anthony had to remain on his feet as there were only two other seats on the other side of Benjamin’s desk, both of which had been occupied by the head butler and the male soldier.Benjamin pretended as if he didn't notice this. “First of all, Head Butler Lia, has there been any reply from the estate's head of security?”Ben

The Bugatti Sports car soon arrived at Sunspot Estate, and just like before, the security guards gave them no trouble at all. Anthony and Benjamin couldn't help but exchange a smile at the vast difference in the kind of treatment they receive now and what they dealt with on their first entry.As they approached the largest residence in Sunspot Estate, Benjamin found the rest of the thirty soldiers now stationed in various parts of the residence boundary, doing their job to secure the place. Benjamin was content with this. Anthony craned his neck slightly as he saw something by the gate. “Young Master, those two soldiers you from this morning are still serving their punishment.”“As they should.” Benjamin was confident that they wouldn't dare disobey his order as the young master and their assigned boss.The gates were immediately opened and the car went straight in. By the time Anthony opened the door for Benjamin to step out, they found three soldiers, led by a man, standing at att

Benjamin could sense how incredibly awkward things had become while driving home. This was mostly due to the tense state Anthony was in as he drove the car. Benjamin would also catch him glancing through the rearview mirror.“Anthony, if you have any questions, just ask.”Anthony chuckled nervously. “I know, Sir. It's just…..I'm afraid asking this might be too personal for you.”Benjamin had on a slight smile as he turned his gaze out of the tinted windshield. “Are you talking about the cruel method I used with those armed men?”Anthony stiffened as he nodded his head. “If it's too personal, then I understand. I'm sorry I asked in the first place.”Benjamin kept quiet for a solid minute, seemingly lost in a daze as he stared out at the late afternoon sky passing by.“That side of me you witnessed at the food truck, it's a part of me I try to keep down as much as possible. It would have never existed if not for what happened to me earlier in my life. I guess you can call it a coming-o

“Die, murhafucka!”That was when another knife came flying from the side. This armed man didn't see it coming at all, so the knife had successfully sliced through his wrist before he realized it.“Ghhaar! Fuck!” This armed man was in great pain as he dropped his pistol. He tightly held onto his profusely bleeding wrist.Anthony, in the meantime, didn't slow down his own attack. As soon as he got close to the scared armed man, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it sharply, breaking the bone, which effectively disarmed him.Anthony then followed up with an uppercut punch, which sent the man spitting out saliva as he flew through the air, dropping to the ground in an unconscious state.Just like that, all five armed men had been disarmed.Anthony shifted his gaze to the attacker who had dodged his knife. Surprised to find him in a serious state, he shifted his gaze once again to find Benjamin walking towards him with a knife in his hand.Anthony couldn't believe Benjamin had this kind of

Benjamin and Anthony hid well inside the food truck, listening as gunshots were released into the air.Meanwhile, as soon as one of these attackers shot at the food truck, a bald and muscular member quickly punched him.“Have you lost your goddamn mind?! We were only hired to teach that young man a lesson, not fucking kill him!”“C’mon, boss, I was just scaring them. I wasn't actually gonna kill him.”The bald man sighed as he looked at the frightened people running about the park with a deep frown.“I didn't expect that young man and his driver would actually notice us. Fuck it! It doesn't matter. Let's surround the truck and force them out. There's only so much space to hide in that thing.”The group of five armed men began to slowly move towards the food truck. Unknown to them, their targets were secretly watching all of their moves.While hiding in the food truck, Anthony found a mirror that happened to be propelled at the right angle. Through this, he and his young master were ab

“You don't have to talk about this, Anthony.” Benjamin made sure to convey this to his driver.But Anthony shook his head. “You're the only one who has bothered to ask me about all these. I want to tell you everything.” Benjamin saw the determination in Anthony's eyes, so he nodded his head. “Alright then. Go on.”They were murdered by a loan shark. We were not living in the best conditions and my father ended up borrowing tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, he was unable to pay them. As a result, those loan sharks harvested my parents’ organs to go sell-off in the black market.”Benjamin put the pieces together. “You must have then spent the next two years in an orphanage home, right? That's where Grandpa found you.”Anthony nodded. “Master Hunter took care of me within the walls of the prime estate. Though there was little he could do in terms of the way the other employees saw me.”Benjamin sneered. “If Grandpa had interfered with such a thing, the elders and other member

The air around Benjamin's table became a little stiff as the two went quiet. Benjamin needed a moment to digest what he had just learned and Anthony gave him that moment of silence.After a while though, Benjamin sat up straight and took another scoop of ice cream into his mouth, looking like nothing serious had happened.“Then what happened?” He gave Anthony the permission to continue his event narration.Anthony nodded his head with a thin-linned lips. “Fortunately, the Whiteridge family had long been keeping tabs on my family. They suspected that they might be trying to overthrow the Whiteridge family and they had placed a smart plan to foil the assassination.”“A plan to foil the assassination?” Benjamin paused as he was about to devour another scoop of ice cream. “What do you mean by that?”“My family's assassination plan didn't make it to the final stage before it was destroyed from within.” Anthony stared off into the distance of nothingness as if he could see everything he was

Around that time, Benjamin glanced out the tinted windshield of the Bugatti as Anthony drove him home. He had noticed Anthony glancing at him multiple times through the rearview mirror.Benjamin had ignored the stares at first but it began to bother him.“Anthony, just say what you want to say. Your stares are making me feel a bit violated.”A look of guilt quickly appeared on Anthony's face. “I'm sorry, Young Master. I didn't mean to bother you like that.”Benjamin sighed as he stared back at his driver through the rearview mirror. “You want to talk about what happened at home right? The reason why those soldiers were treating you with disrespect.”Anthony kept his gaze on the road as he nodded. “Only if you'll allow me to give my side of the story. If you feel repulsed by my presence after that, I promise that I will act accordingly.”“You'll act accordingly,” Benjamin repeated those last words with a raised eyebrow. “What does that mean?”“It means I will resign effective immediate
