Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 84
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

“Yeah, she does.” Benjamin slowly nodded her head. He decided to indulge his driver about this professor of his.“Professor Blanca Gorge is an old friend of the Tyrone family. She also acts as a backer to Andrew within the campus. Anyone who offends Andrew has automatically offended her. She will then make it her life mission to ruin that student on behalf of Andrew and the Tyrone family.”Anthony's eyebrows were raised as he took in this information. “That's……insane. Has no one reported her?”Benjamin scoffed. “Some of the students who kept flying to her class reported her at first. But then these students quickly found out how influential that professor is within the walls of the university.”Anthony understood something. “I'm guessing it's because she's really backed by the Tyrone family.”Benjamin nodded his head. “Exactly. Professor Blanca protects their son well, so they give her the power to keep doing so. The Tyrone family is one of the highest benefactors of Elites Domain Uni

Dr. Felicia cleared her throat as she pulled herself together. “Sir, you're right, except for the fact that Health-Bind Hospital is not just the most exceptional medical care center in the city or even the country. It's on top of the mountains of other medical facilities across the continent. I hope you can understand why things are the way they are.”“It's fine!” Benjamin quickly spoke before Anthony could reply to the female doctor. “I'll pay every fee as stated. You should just get started on my friend's surgery already.”Benjamin could tell that Anthony was about to lecture this female doctor on how they were practically extorting patients. “There's one other issue though.” Dr. Felicia hesitantly pointed out as her gaze shifted between the faces of the two men. “I'm currently a junior resident at this hospital and I'm not qualified to lead this operation on your friend. A senior resident is required.”“So what's the issue?” Benjamin was genuinely confused. “Just call one of your

A few seconds of silence passed before the middle-aged doctor let out a chuckle. “Dr. Felicia, why are you feeding me false praises? You and I, along with all the medical staff members who matter in this hospital…..we are all aware that your skills as an orthopedic surgeon are not in any way inferior to mine.” Dr. Tank allowed a moment to pass before his voice shifted to that of a mocking tone. “It's just that…. unfortunately for you, you'll never be qualified to become a senior resident at this hospital.”Benjamin’s gaze turned colder. He glanced at Dr. Felicia once again, to find her quickly stuffing her hands into her white coat pockets before balling her fists. She was trying to hide her anger from those words Dr. Tank had uttered.Benjamin could see that the situation with Dr. Tank was far worse than he thought. This shameless senior resident was boldly letting him and anyone who could hear him know that he was responsible for making sure that Dr. Felicia never became a senior
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 89
Minutes later, Dr. Tank and Dr. Felicia had gone into the operation room to save Max. Benjamin sat alone in one of the chairs in the waiting area, staring up at the sign above the entrance, which was in red light mode. This simply signalled that the operation was ongoing.A call suddenly came in and Benjamin looked down at his phone to find that it was his driver calling him. He immediately picked it up and his facial expression turned cold from worry. “Have you done it?”Anthony's calm voice came through the call. “Yes, Young Master Benjamin. I'm currently in the other car with the two soldiers.”Following Anthony's words, the voices of the two soldiers came through as well, chorusing their words at Benjamin.“Young Master, we're at your service.”Benjamin nodded his head. “I want you two to roughen up a medical staff of this hospital. There's a senior resident by the name of Dr. Tank.”“Young Master, does this mean that you've met him.”Benjamin hummed in confirmation. “I've met h

Benjamin sighed as he had a frown on his face. “How did someone with those kinds of troublesome records manage to get into a highly reputable medical center like Health-Bind Hospital.”“Sir, would you like me to dig into the hospital server and see what I can find?” Benjamin smiled at the diligence this AI assistant of his was suddenly showing. “Do it.”Andy took another few seconds before returning with information. “Sir, would you like to hear what I've found!”“Yes,” Benjamin noted that Andy would always ask this before giving him the information. He didn't mind it. In fact, he found it quite proper.Andy didn't waste any time. “It turns out that a prominent member of the board of directors vouched for this doctor. The rest of them had immediately wanted to turn him down but after being coerced by their member, they reluctantly allowed Dr. Tank to become a doctor at this hospital.”Benjamin’s attention was on what Andy was telling him. “What else?”Andy continued. “According to t

Another brief moment passed before Andy spoke. “It's done, Sir.”Benjamin then went straight to his gallery, and with his air pods in his ears, he silently watched the footage. Truly, Dr. Tank is a serial cheater as there is over a hundred and fifty footage. There are a few ones that even show him having sex with his side chicks in the hotel rooms.Benjamin sneered as he muttered. “He's so full of himself that he's even so careless.” He then paused the video. “It's all good though. It only works out in my favor.”“Sir Benjamin, what are you going to do with these videos?” Andy voiced his curiosity.Instead of a direct answer, Benjamin gave his next request. “Andy, can you fake a chat from Dr. Tank's wife?”Benjamin related his plan to his AI assistant. He'll definitely make this criminal pay. Four hours had passed before the operation sign board changed color. The operation had come to an end. Benjamin quickly jumped to his feet, his heart racing as he anticipated the results of this

Andrew didn't want to give away such a large amount of money. $1 billion was simply too freaking much to just give away to a bunch of charity organizations that he couldn't give two shits about if he was being honest.Unfortunately, for Andrew, he was caught in a trap. He had lost the bid-off challenge in such a humiliating way, and per the established stakes put in place, he had to honor the winner by granting three commands of his.Benjamin's first command - to give away that $1 billion.Andrew felt like he had as the one being played all along Even more unfortunate for him, Andrew was too proud to not give away that $1 billion. His name and his family's name were on the line at this point. There are videos of the deal being made currently circling the infinite space of the internet. If he went against his agreement now, he would only be looked down on by everyone on campus. Even his crew might start to move away from him.Principal Dice recurved the credit alert in the bank accoun

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
