Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 74
Benjamin could tell that his best friend was in some sort of danger during the call. It wasn't because Max sent some secret code or anything. It was rather the tone he spoke with.At the time of the call, Benjamin had wrapped up his meeting with the CEO of Cortex Tech, Jonny Biggs. He ended this meeting with so much knowledge of what the AI assistant, Andy, is all about. Benjamin then had lunch with his grandfather and grandmother, still a bit in shock as he watched Hunter shower Theresa with praises from time to time. Once lunch was over, Benjamin and Theresa were ready to leave the prime estate and return to Sunspot Estate. The next day was a weekday and Benjamin had classes on Monday.Herbert didn't let Benjamin leave without bringing up an important matter. “Young Master Benjamin, I've been informed by Miss Locks of your residence. She reported that your means of transportation are still very limited.”Hunter tilted his head once he heard these words. “Herbert, don't tell me tha

Benjamin watched his grandfather head back to his office before he then turned to Theresa. “Grandma, you need to head home too. I'll have Anthony drive you home, okay?”“No, young master!” Anthony suddenly rushed forward before bowing slightly to Benjamin. “Young Master, I want to be the one to transport you there. I want to accompany you!”Herbert's expression turned cold. “Know your place! You are to do only what the young master has ordered you to do! You were not transferred to question him!”“Head Butler, it's fine.” Benjamin quickly stopped the older man from verbally trashing his driver. “Anthony is simply worried about me.”“I can secure young master's safety!” Anthony summoned enough courage to gaze up at Herbert with a determined expression. “No matter how dangerous this mission is, I'll make sure Young Master Benjamin isn't hurt in the slightest, even if it leads to my death.”“Don't say that!” Theresa gently slapped on the driver's shoulder, unwilling to hear that last par

“Yes, Sir. Um…. Master, about that matter.” Herbert suddenly became hesitant.“Yes?” Hunter finally shifted his gaze from his documents, and straight at his head butler. “Did you do what I ordered?”Herbert nodded his head. “Of course, Master. I talked to Young Master Benjamin about his parents, including where they are buried in this estate. I offered to take him there, so he could pay his respects to them, but…. Young Master Benjamin refused to see either of his parent’s graves.” Hunter saw the dejected expression on his head butler's face. “I see.” He couldn't help the pain that reached his heart. “I'm certain both Dallas and Caroline would be….sad that their son refuses to go greet them.”“I’m sorry, Master Hunter.” Herbert shook his head. “It's just that….Young Master seemed unbothered. There seemed to be no trace of love in there.”Hunter scoffed lightly. “Love for who? Those two were not even alive to raise him. Only the heavens know what would have seriously become him if Mrs
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 77
Benjamin had arrived in front of the Detroit family's house alone. Immediately, he and Anthony stepped out of the car; those of Jude's men who had been ordered to stay outside turned to this newcomer.“Who the fuck are you?!” One of Jude's men asked with a threatening voice as he and his men walked towards this young man.Benjamin kept his gaze on the entrance to the Detroit's family home and he began taking slow steps forward.A second later, all of Jude's men situated here, numbering about fifteen of them, pointed their guns straight at Benjamin with gold gazes. Their movements were quite sharp.“Are you fucking deaf or something?!” The armed gang member asked once again. “What is your business here?!”Benjamin finally glanced at this gang member. “Didn't your boss make your friend call me here?”The gang member who seemed to be leading the others finally realised who Benjamin was. “Oh, you're the bastard our boss has been waiting for?” This gang member in charge of the rest glance

Benjamin's heart shook but he knew better than to show it. He immediately stuffed his hands in his pocket with an unbothered gaze.“Am I late to the party?”The attention of Jude, Brody, and the rest in the living room was now on this young, handsome man standing in the doorway.Brody's eyes widened. “It's him! He's here! Senior Jude, it's him!”Benjamin heard this and he quickly realised that this muscular man had to be the one in charge.Jude's gaze met Benjamin's and he began trying to decipher what emotional state the other was in. He was intrigued when he found nothing.“Oh? You hide yourself well.” A smile slowly stretched across Jude's face, and he pulled his gun back from Brody's head, forgetting about the annoying junior district keeper for the moment.Jude waved his hand, gesturing for Benjamin to come closer. “Come in! Come in!”Brody key out a sigh of relief at being spared. He had concluded himself as gone. But then he saw that Benjamin had arrived and quickly grabbed the

“You…. You're not what I imagined I would meet tonight.” The incredulity was evident in Jude's tone. “It seems interrogating and killing you will be much more satisfying than I imagined.” Jude sat back down on the couch. “Benjamin Knox, that's your name, right? I'm going to torture you for information before I kill you and your accomplishes.” He glanced at Max and Gina. Benjamin scoffed. “If it's information you want, you should go tell your big boss this.” He pointed at Brody. “That piece of trash lied to you. I'm not a spy, and neither is my friend. He lied to you to get you guys to take revenge on his behalf.”Jude's smile dwindled as he heard this. “What revenge? What the fuck are you talking about?!”“Senior Jude, kill that bastard already!” Brody was becoming even more scared at this point. “He's trying to sow discord, and it's because you're giving him a chance to do so! This is what he's trying to do right now! Use your…..”“Watch your mouth, Brody. I won't repeat myself a s

Jude had given the order. His men in the living room all pointed their guns at Benjamin and Anthony, about to pull the trigger.Unfortunately for Jude, none of these gang members were able to unload the bullets before their hands suddenly exploded in a bloody mess, forcing every single one of them to drop their firearms.This time though, Jude caught it clearly. The bullets had blasted through the roof and walls. It wasn't hard at this point to deduce that a group of unknown people had surrounded the house and were attacking them from outside, probably with the latest sniper rifles in their possession.What was even clearer was that these unknown shooters had to be working for Benjamin. Peeking from the low safety of the couch, Jude could see that Benjamin was still standing there. The young man's demeanor was as calm as ever.Jude was angry at the disadvantage he suddenly found himself in. “Men, we're surrounded!” He held onto his injured hand as he took cover behind the couch he was

Max nodded his head slowly as he recalled what they had gone through that day. “Mom is probably still unconscious. She's locked in the other room.” He pointed at the closed door. “As for Uncle, he's…..”The second that the word ‘uncle’ from her older brother's lips registered in her mind, Gina went into a traumatic state as she began shaking and hugging Max even tighter. “Uncle, no! Uncle, stop hitting me! Uncle, please!”“Gina, please, calm down.” Max could only groan out in pain as a snap could be heard from one of his already broken ribs. Gina's incessant shaking was only making things worse.Benjamin's concern grew and he reached out to gently pat Gina's back. “Gina, it's me, Benjamin.”“No! Don't touch me! Leave me alone!” Gina's screams became high-pitched as she shook harder.At this point, Max couldn't take it anymore, and he was now trying to get his little sister to ease off of her grip with shaky hands.Anthony craned his neck to whisper in Benjamin's ear. “Young Master, d

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
