Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 75
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 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

Jude paid him no mind again. It was as if Brody didn't even exist to him right now. “It's been so long since I felt pressured from facing someone. This spy…..he came with backup but he kept them hidden. He showed me a mask of submission, only to pull me and my men into this trap.” Jude suddenly reached out and grabbed Brody by the neck, watching as the junior district keeper’s eyes immediately rolled to the back of his head and back. Jude then pulled Brody closer to whisper in his face, ignoring Junior's choking state. “If I don't kill this spy tonight, I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of this annoying weight in my heart.”Brody feared he would die as the grip on his throat immediately blocked air from going in or out of his pipe. Jude is an incredibly strong man. Every gang member who knows him knows this.At that moment, Brody could feel his body giving out to the lack of oxygen; Jude suddenly threw backward, releasing his poor throat in the process. He began wheezing l

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
