Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 78
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

Benjamin had thought of a brilliant way to take down Jude and his gang members. After he had left the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate with those soldiers, he called on his AI assistant, Andy, to map out an image of the environment where the Detroit family's home is. He then instructed Andy to airdrop a copy of each of these soldiers.The soldiers, following their young master's instructions, studied the area surrounding Max's house. Benjamin then had them each pick a suitable elevated hiding spot where they could watch down on the Detroit family's house. The most important part was that these soldiers, no matter where they've hidden, have to be able to make a clear shot at their targets.This was why Benjamin had taken so long before arriving at Detroit's house to save Max and his family. He had to wait while these soldiers dispersed to the various surroundings. Once Benjamin had confirmed that they were all lying in wait and each had clear sights on the armed gang men in Max's hou

Benjamin sighed with a slight smile before speaking. “Nothing much. I just need you to call the soldier driving the car behind us. I need to check on my friend's health.”“Right away, Sir.” Andy immediately connected to the phone if the soldier was driving the other car. He then extracted the identity of this soldier, confirming that he indeed works for the Whiteridge's patriarch. He then made the call automatically.The call was immediately picked up by that soldier. “Young Master Benjamin, what are your commands?”“Relax, soldier,” Benjamin replied into his phone with a leveled tone in his voice. “I just want to check in on my friend and his family.”“My comrades have made sure to keep their bodies as stable and least painful as possible. But, it seems like your close friend's situation…..” This soldier sounded like he didn't know how to probably utter his words.“What's wrong with Max?!” Benjamin couldn't help the worry in his voice.“According to my comrade's limited knowledge, Mr

“The patient’s friend.” Anthony was quick to answer, without making anything suspicious.The security guard walked around the car casually, clearly not resting the patients with any urgency.“Do you have a membership card with you?”Anthony shook his head with a smile. “We don't.”“Then you have to pay an entry fee of $1500 before you're allowed in.”Anthony's gaze turned cold at this, but before he could let out his discontent with this, Benhaminspike first.“That's alright; Do you accept transfers from mobile banking apps?”The security guard smiled cockily. “Of course. Though you'll have to add an additional $509 as transaction fee.”Anthony quickly retracted his face as it conveyed anger at the moment. He was well aware that this security guard was extorting his young master of $2,000 even before they got inside the hospital’s premises. He had no choice but to swallow his anger though.Benjamin, on the other hand, quietly whipped out his phone, tapping the screen as he had no inte

Alexa nodded her head with an apprehensive expression as she tried to make Andrew understand how bad the situation was for them. “But then your father won't necessarily be able to completely sway the rest of the committee heads to join him in messing with EDU donations in the future.”“Huh?” Andrew frowned with a slight shake of his head. “I don't understand.”Alexa fought the urge to sigh at how uncharacteristically stupid Andrew was being right now. She suspected that the frustration swirling inside him due to the unfavorable turning out of this event was probably trying his brain.“Think about it. Once Principal Dice makes these donations of $10 million each to those one hundred charity organizations, he would become a celebrated figure in New Stone City. Then other high figures, including the mayor, would begin associating themselves with him.”Andrew's eyes widened as he finally connected the dots, whispering his deductions himself.“Once that happens, the rest of the Institutio

“As the loser, you are obliged to give in to three commands of mine.”This was frustrating to an extreme. Andrew had totally forgotten about the initial deal he had made with Benjamin - the very one he had initiated in front of so many eyes and phone cameras recording everything.“Are you fucking kidding me right now?!” Andrew spoke with a growl, glaring hatefully at Benjamin.“You've already humiliated me so many times today, and yet, you still want to fucking cash on the initial bet?! Benjamin, don't you have a damn conscience?!”Benjamin raised a finger with a calm expression on his face.“First of all, every single humiliation you have suffered up until this moment was all your fault. You utilized underhanded means to disgrace me publicly. Unfortunately for you, it all rebounded. You have no one but yourself to blame for those mishaps.”Benjamin saw that Andrew couldn't utter a word to tackle his point. So he raised a second finger.“Also, have you forgotten that you were the one

Benjamin then turned his attention back to Veronica while still holding onto his ‘girlfriend’.“Alright, I accept. But I may not be available a lot of the time. So this is something we'll have to schedule ahead of time.”Veronica giggled. “Of course, do you think I have that much free time too?”Benjamin received the phone and typed in his number.Once that was done, Veronica nodded at Principal Dice.“Principal, you have injured quite the talent within this campus. Keep it up.”Despite Principal Dice being more than four decades older than Veronica, he couldn't help but feel good about being praised by such a high-status member of the Whiteridge family.“Thank you, Young Mistress.”Veronica turned to the guests. “Ladies and gentlemen, we will be meeting at the headquarters pretty soon. We'll discuss in full-length what went down today with the chairman. Until then…..”And with that, Veronica left with her bodyguards.Watching the woman leave, Anthony Wood and Lieutenant Jason finally

Veronica Whiteridge had bowed to Benjamin in a show of apology, so the guests had no choice but to follow suit. Though the great dissatisfaction they currently felt was evident on their faces, they hid away as their faces turned towards the ground.Senior Lawyer Francis sighed as he stared at Benjamin for the barest of a moment before bowing his head at Benjamin as well.Principal Dice smiled at Benjamin before calmly bowing his head in apology. If not for anything else, but for the fact that this fraud of an event was held on his campus.This left Andrew and his crew.Andrew had his hands baked into fists as he stared at Veronica Whiteridge and everyone else Boeing at Benjamin. He knew what was supposed to happen next. He knew what he was supposed to do. But this was hard. Boeing to Benjamin was a new level of humiliation to himself that he was not willing to indulge in at all.And yet, Andrew Tyrone knew that he had no choice.Alexa became worried as she stared at the stubborn back

There was another moment of silence. The words that had just come from Andrew's mouth were spoken with an irrationally brash attitude. Everyone watching could tell that this young man was crashing out. Veronica, Principal Dice, the guests, the head lawyer from The Tyrone Group, and even Andrew's crew all waited for Benjamin's answer.It was safe and pretty much sensible to say that they were just as curious. Everyone here knew that Benjamin was an orphan, along with the brief history lesson that Andrew had just given them. So they also wanted to know where Benjamin got $1 billion from.The fact that he could easily give it all away to charity organizations was even more telling of the fact that he had billions of dollars in his bank account.Again, this young man had no parents, no inheritance, and a frail grandmother. Where did he get that kind of money from?Benjamin sighed. “Haven't you ever heard of investments?”The crowd choked a bit from the somewhat simple answer that Benjam

Veronica's soldiers were not happy that these supposed ordinary bodyguards weren't cowering despite their technique, so they doubled down.As soon as Benjamin saw that this was becoming a show of power, he snapped his fingers. “Get back!”Lieutenant Jason and his team members nodded before backing off. Seeing this, Veronica's soldiers had no choice but to ease up as well.Veronica sighed as he turned to Principal Dice. “Do you just allow your students to act wantonly in front of guests?”Principal Dice smiled nervously. “My apologies, Young Mistress. I do try my best.”Veronica mumbled in response. “I'm sure you do.” She understood how difficult things must be for the old man, especially when it came to handling the son of the highest benefactor of this university, Andrew Tyrone.She clapped her hands as soon as she saw that both sides were now calm, wordlessly commanding her soldiers to return to her side.“I want both sides to listen up. Now that things have turned out this way, we

The hallways of the Faculty of Management Science were filled with noise. The students who had been ordered out of the grand hall were now being heavily interviewed by passionate reporters and their camera crew who wished to know everything that had gone down inside the grand hall.Those who were still in a state of annoyance walked away from these reporters, while those who didn't have any problem gladly gave away all that they knew.One thing was prominently being spread at this point: Andrew and his family's name was being tarnished due to the corrupt acts they'd been caught indulging in. Back in the grand hall,Every single person on the balconies was made to come down to the stage. The guests and Principal Dice stood on one side, Andrew and his crew stood on another side, Benjamin and his crew stood on one side, while Young Mistress Veronica and her soldiers stood in the middle of these people.Veronica glanced at the faces of everyone here before stopping on Andrew.“I've gone

Principal Dice, who had silently watched everything from the sides, not daring to intervene wantonly, now had multiple eyes on him.“Um…sure.” He gathered himself and calmly headed up to where the young mistress from the Whiteridge family was located.He slowly approached Veronica. “Young Mistress, you called for me?”Veronica slowly turned to the older man with a calculated smile before passing on her message.On Benjamin's balcony, Max, Olivia, and April had their necks craned forward.“What is she talking to Principal Dice?”“I don't know. Obviously, she had her microphone turned off so we can't hear anything.”April squinted her eyes. “I think….I think that woman is trying to save Andrew's face as best as she can.”Max and Olivia glanced at each other with confusion on their faces before turning to April and speaking at the same time.“What do you mean?”April sighed. “I'm not completely sure, but I think Young Mistress Veronica might make Principal Dice call off this event finall

Part of her studies was the influence of the human psyche, so she was able to intimidate people with her gaze alone. Yet, what Veronica saw Benjamin do was……for lack of better words, far more dangerous, with an air of chaos in it.She could decipher this precisely because…..well, she felt a bit of that fear that was solely directed at the unfortunate lawyer.Benjamin's range of psychological influence felt raw but far more intense than she could ever achieve.She couldn't help but whisper to herself. “Where did he learn that?!” The head of Veronica's security team immediately noticed his young mistress’s slight change in mood, and he walked over to carefully whisper to her.“Young Mistress, are you alright?”Veronica doesn't answer this, but instead double-down on her earlier instructions.“Find every nook and cranny of the story in that young man. Don't you dare miss any bit of information? He's not normal…..at all. Throughout this event, he's been standing out in ways that he simp
