2024-09-27 22:35:53It was safe to say that the director, Andrew, Alexa, Max, and Benjamin's grandmother weren't the only ones shocked by Benjamin's claim.
The crowd that had been watching the commotion ever since Benjamin had punched Andrew in the face. They burst into heavy bouts of laughter as soon as they heard those words as well. “Wait! Is he for real? I know that guy. He's so freaking poor, and now he's suddenly claiming that he can pay ten times the annual donation this school gets from the Tyrone family.” “Oh my goodness, this guy must have lost his mind. He's definitely gone crazy. The Tyrone family donates $1 million annually, which means that guy would have to be able to pay $10 million at once. Isn't that too pretentious?!” Another student quickly pulled out her phone. “Oh, I will be damned if I don't live stream this for my fans! They're gonna eat this up.” The crowd was bustling at this point, wanting to see how Benjamin would dig himself out of this ‘grave’ he created for himself. Benjamin's grandmother, on the other hand, was truly too stunned to speak. She yanked on her grandson's wrist to get his attention. “Benjy, wh….what are you saying for God's sake?! That's $10 million you're claiming you can pay!” “Yeah, buddy.” Max was really worried as he placed a hand on Benjamin's shoulder. “Where in hell are you going to get that much money?” “You two worry too much.” Benjamin smiled at them. “Don't worry; I've got this, okay? Trust me.” At that moment, Benjamin's grandmother and Max saw the absolute confidence in Benjamin's eyes, and they were both left stunned, glancing at each other. What exactly made this young man so confident? Benjamin walked closer to the director. “Sir, go on. Give me the official account details of the school.” Alexa couldn't believe this. “Is he for real?” She whispered to her new lover. “Oh, what are you saying?” Andrew could see that Alexa was starting to be curious about Benjamin's confidence, and it pissed him off. “Everyone in the school knows that loser's financial status, so how could he be suddenly rich? Are you telling me he gained a massive amount of wealth overnight?” He huffed while still trying to soothe away the punch he received to the face earlier. “He wants to see me expelled, huh? We'll see who ends up humiliated between the two of us.” Unknown to Andrew though, that was exactly what happened to Benjamin. He had gained a massive amount of wealth within hours. “Director, it's fine. Please, give it to him. Let's see what he does next.” Andrew couldn't wait to witness how Benjamin would publicly make a fool of himself. The director sneered at Benjamin as he gave him the account details, anticipating what this overconfident young student would do. “Wait!” Andrew suddenly raised his hand as an idea came to his mind. “Benjamin Knox, since you had the audacity to claim riches that even your forefathers wouldn't dare claim, why don't we make this much more interesting. If the transfer you're about to make fails, then you must run around the school completely naked. Also, everyone here is allowed to record the entirety of your humiliation and upload it on the internet.” The crowd began murmuring their excitement over this wager that Andrew had just initiated. A lot of them were glad that they came here at the right time. Some of these people even began calling their fellow students to come to the school's main gate as soon as possible, so they wouldn't miss such a spectacle. It was safe to say everyone had concluded in their minds that Benjamin wouldn't be able to pay such a hefty amount. Max gritted his teeth. “Hey, isn't that taking it a bit too far?!” “I agree!" Max was shocked, and Benjamin's grandmother was on the verge of passing out at this point. Mrs. Knox could only shake her head at her grandson. “This boy, he's being too childish at a time like this. Why would he make such a promise when there's still the issue of his suspension?” Max sighed. “Mrs. Knox, please, take it easy. We can only trust that Benjamin knows what he's doing.” Benjamin glanced back at his grandmother with determination. He was going to make those who humiliated her, especially Andrew, pay heavily for it. In front of everyone, he went to the school's website on his phone and once he was required to pay the sum of $10 million as donation, he pulled out an object from his pocket. The second people saw that shiny object hanging between Benjamin's index and middle fingers, there was a collective gasp travelling through the crowd. “Holy shit! Is that a freaking black card in his hand?!” “It definitely is! Oh my goodness, he has a black card?!” The director frowned in shock when he saw this, and he had to squint his eyes further. Yet, the bright sun cascaded enough white light to make it clear to everyone. “How's that possible?” Alexa was expectedly beyond shocked as she stared at the black card in Benjamin's hand. “Hey!” Andrew pulled the young woman out of her daze. “He probably stole it. There's no way he'd suddenly have such an item.” “Oh, you're right. What was I thinking?” Alexa quickly gathered her straying thoughts. “It's either that black card is fake, or he stole it.” Meanwhile, Benjamin ignored the gossips as he put in the card details and made the final payment. Unfortunately, he came across a problem. [Payment declined!]

Benjamin was shocked when he saw this. How is this possible? His grandfather had personally handed this black card to him, promising that it held up to $3 billion, so what was going on? Why was the payment declined? Did Hunter Whiteridge lie to him? Benjamin immediately threw that thought out of his head. There was absolutely no way a man like that would lie to him about money of all things. First of all, the man is a Trillionaire, so it would be a very shameful act on his part to fool his newly found grandson, something that had been proven with a DNA test to confirm it. Also, the payment had been declined rather than the black details being incorrect. This means that the black card is indeed legit. There was also no mention of ‘insufficient balance’, so the issue had to be something else. Unfortunately, the audiences watching this weren't interested in thinking this through.As soon as the director saw the confusion on Benjamin's face, he snatched the phone from his hands to get a

Director James Thorpe felt his heart racing furiously as he stared down at the content on his phone screen. He kept reading it over and over again, ignoring the surrounding noises. “Could it really be him?” He felt stupid for even asking this question, as Benjamin's name was evident on the generated receipt. None of this made any sense to him. This same young man had been called out for being extremely poor yesterday, so why does he suddenly have a black card under his name?Director Thorpe turned to find Benjamin staring at him with a victorious but annoying smirk, and he felt his blood boil. “Here! Give me that card. I want to see something.”Benjamin realised what must have happened, so he gladly gave the director his black card.Once Andrew, Alexa, Max, and Mrs. Knox saw this, they felt something had changed. It was even more obvious in the director's body language that something had happened.Director Thorpe compared the card details with the ones on the receipt. “They match.” He

The crowd was silent for a moment as they kept their shocked gaze on the scene. Some of them couldn't believe they had actually seen this with their own two eyes, while some were even starting to doubt if they were in a dream or not. The wave of internal reaction this one exchange between the director and the principal had caused in everyone was contrary to the dead silence on the outside.“Holy shit, what did I just witness happen. Could this be real?”“Bro, I'm thinking the same thing. The principal really slapped the director right I'm the face. Lord! I really hope someone captured it, or else, I'll be really forced to believe it was all in my head.”“Look around you then.”The students in the crowd having this whispered exchange glanced around to find that there were quite a few other students who still had their cameras out, recording everything. Meanwhile, Benjamin was also surprised at the slap he had witnessed the principal give the director. Why did this much older man sud

Andrew had boldly pointed out Benjamin, framing him as the main culprit of this current situation while belittling him as well in front of the principal because he was confident that the principal would treat him with more respect, considering his background. Unfortunately for him, the principal was well aware of the Tyrone family and how powerful they are, including the amount they've been donating annually for about half a decade now. Yet, he knew none of those things could stand a significance when compared to the family Benjamin allegedly belongs to. The fact that Benjamin alone donated an amount one time, and it was more than the combined amount that the Tyrone family had ever donated was telling of the disparity between the two families. Not to mention that the influence that The Whiteridge family has in this university was far more than The Tyrone family could ever possess. This was why the principal had no problem putting Andrew in his place.“You're from the Tyrone family,

For a second, Andrew had actually forgotten the deal he had publicly made with Benjamin. If Benjamin failed to make the $10 million transaction successful, he would have to strip completely naked and run around the entire campus while giving consent to any student recording him on their devices and even uploading it on any and all social media platforms. If the opposite happened though, and Benjamin's transaction was successful, then it would be Andrew Tyrone who would have to strip naked while running around campus.The crowd became really excited at the turn of the event.“Damn! I totally forgot the punishment part ever since the principal showed up.”“Me too! Oh my goodness, are we really about to watch the great son of the Tyrone family strip naked in front of us?!”“Dude, not even a poor and unpopular guy would dare feel good about such a thing. I can only imagine how humiliated Andrew feels right now.”“Hey, guys! Look! The number of live viewers is suddenly surging!”“Fuck! M

“Hey, Ben, come see this!” Max rushed closer to his best friend. He had pulled out his phone and had begun watching the Livestream. “Look at this!” He then showed Benjamin the social media trend. “The hashtag ‘naked student-run’ is already trending on all platforms. The shares and overall widespread attention are insane!”Seeing this, Benjamin finally felt a sense of satisfaction. He was glad to see Andrew receiving a punishment that matched his misbehaviors.“Benjy.” Hearing his grandmother's voice, Benjamin rushed over to her and hugged her. “Are you okay, Grandma?”Theresa Knox smiled weakly at her grandson before nodding her head. “Don't worry about me, my dear. I'm fine.”It was then that Benjamin recalled the main reason his grandmother had come to the university. “Sir.” He turned to face the principal. “I was suspended unjustly by Director Thorpe earlier. I would really like for you to revoke my suspension. If you need to look into the matter first, then I can wait.” Theresa

“Yo, Brody, I must be losing my hearing.” One of the men spoke to the man in the center, calling out his name. “If not, did I just hear this loser's friend offering to pay on his behalf?” Brody stared at Benjamin for a while before letting out a snicker. “This one? You must be joking. Can't you see how he's dressed? Look at the horrible quality. He's even far worse than the loser we came here for.” He nudged his chin in Max’s direction, referring to him as the loser.“You know, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover,” Benjamin smirked confidently. “Now, just tell me how much my friend owes you.”“Hey!” Brody suddenly pointed at Benjamin with a cold gaze. “Shut the fuck up! Did you think we're here to play some fucking games?! Now, keep your mouth shut because I'm not here for you, or else, I'll gladly shut it up for you.”It was clear that Brody and his group members had concluded that there was no way Benjamin could be serious about paying them on behalf of Max. From their experien

“Are you deaf? I want you to scoop up that gum into your mouth.” Brody chuckled darkly. “Oh, and I better not see either of your hands move. You have to scoop it up off the ground with your tongue, like a good little dog would.”That was it. Max had had enough of this humiliation. “Get away from me!” He slapped away Brody's hand still gripping his hair. “I won't take this anymore! You guys have gone too far!”“Not far enough! You'll remain my dog until I'm satisfied!” Brody quickly kicked Max to the ground before the young man could get to his feet. He then turned to his henchmen. “What are you guys still standing over there for?! Hold this bastard down!”The henchmen rushed over to do exactly what they were told. They forcefully held Max down on the ground, and Brody began stomping on his back. Max could only struggle against the henchmen in futility.It was this horrible scene that Benjamin found when he finally came out of the restaurant. He was in momentary shock as he couldn't be

The hotel suite was filled with moans and the air thickened with the air of carnal activities as Benjamin and Dr. Felicia went at it for hours.“Benjamin, ooooh! Yeah, fuck me right there! Don't stop! Fuuuuuck! Please, don't stop!”Dr. Felicia was losing her mind as Benjamin kept plunging deep into her from the back. Benjamin was much sweatier than her and the moist skin accentuated every ripped muscle on him. It also revealed the varying levels of scars he had accumulated on his body through the years he grew up in hardship.“Fuck!” Dr. Felicia had her head tilted up at the ceiling as she rode on Benjamin’s impressively sized road. Her eyes were crossed and she would involuntarily giggle at the intense pleasure spreading through her body as Benjamin held her firmly by the waist, guiding her gyration as he met her in the middle of every thrust.Benjamin smirked as he gazed up at the doctor. He had quickly found her G-spot and he was hitting it with incredible movements. He liked watc

Benjamin's face became slightly sad. “Is that the burden of becoming a patriarch?” His voice was low and tender, conveying how bad he felt that his grandfather had to deal with constant trouble on a daily basis.Behind Benjamin, Anthony and Lieutenant Jason glanced at each other with stoic faces as they could deduce what Benjamin was talking about with the family's patriarch.Hunter kept quiet for a couple of seconds. “Part of it, yes.”The call soon came to an end Benjamin proceeded to a female receptionist. Once he gave his name, he was respectfully led to the top suite. As for Anthony and Lieutenant Jason, they were surprised when Benjamin revealed that he had reserved the next room for them.Discreetly, the two had security measures placed around the suite their young master would be occupying, making sure that they would know immediately when there was a danger that threatened Benjamin.After what had happened at the restaurant, neither of these two was going to allow another une

Benjamin wrapped up the situation at the high-end restaurant. The assassins had their heads chopped off and mailed to the client who hired them, Angela Tyrone, and her family.Then Benjamin spoke in great lengths with the manager of the restaurant, finally meeting him face to face.Benjamin apologized that he had brought this disaster upon his restaurant. A lot of customers had died from those assassins terrorizing the building. A lot of waiters and waitresses had died as well.There were now police officers seeking to carry out an investigation, but with the influence of the Whiteridge family, the restaurant manager assured Benjamin that his name would not be mentioned in the investigation at all.Benjamin awarded the man over $100 million to discreetly compensate both the families of the dead customers and the dead employees. Then to rebuild all that had been affected as collateral damage due to the incident.He then quietly left with his people and Corey Hassan. The long-range shoo

Anthony fiercely held the lieutenant's stare.“And do you want to test Master Hunter's response when he finds out that you disobeyed his grandson's direct orders in such a time like this?”The insinuation of Anthony's accusation was enough to strike fear into the lieutenant. Nothing was more blasphemous than to be found disrespecting members of the Whiteridge family.This, as a result, infuriated Jason Coal, and he aimed a fist at Anthony's face.“Enough!” Benjamin’s voice became cold. “Lieutenant, if you make that move, consider yourself no longer welcome under my command. Do I make myself clear?”Jason Coal held his balled fists mere inches away from Anthony's unflinching gaze.It was as if the driver was showing the lieutenant and his soldiers that he had never really been scared of them, but had rather avoided them out of respect for the status quo that existed with the Whiteridge family.This realization, as much as it angered Lieutenant Jason, made him also feel a stronger level

Benjamin raised his hand and backhanded the assassin leader right across the face. The sound was a testament to how much strength he had put into his strike.Everyone watched as the assassin leader's face was forced to the side, a bold hand imprint quickly becoming apparent. As the assassin leader turned his face back to Benjamin, there was a trail of blood escaping the corner of his lips.“I'll ask you one more time.” Benjamin maintained a lazy pose that still gave off a domineering aura. “Who sent you?”The assassin's leader was furious but helpless. Plus, he was just finding out exactly why his employers had hired him to kill this target. This young man was anything but ordinary.“G…..Go fuck yourself!” The assassin leader cursed internally as he had involuntarily stuttered through what should have been a confident retort.The other two assassins also picked up on their leader's stutter and they began feeling fear as they could tell the usually confident assassin was scared of thi

Jason Coal couldn't pinpoint what had happened, but he suddenly felt a chill rush down his spine as he saw the cold look in Benjamin’s eyes.There was a trace of murder and intense cruelty being given off by Benjamin right now and it left the lieutenant incredibly surprised.Still, he knew his young master had just given him a job to do, and he would be damned to be sloppy about it.Lieutenant Jason nodded stiffly and looked outside the window as he finally pulled out his gun.“Just tell me where to aim, Sir!”Benjamin typed into his phone: [I need coordinates, Andy ]Andy quickly replied with the numbers and Benjamin spoke them to his soldier.Lieutenant Jason gritted his teeth. “Men, on me!”“Yes, Sir!”The other soldiers quickly rushed to flank their lieutenant and they pulled their guns in the same direction.In the next second, the team released a total of twenty-seven bullets into the apartment which turned out to be a floor above theirs in the other building.Benjamin looked

Benjamin almost chuckled darkly at these words. He was incredibly angry at this point. These bunch of fools were literally bullying him. He couldn't remain at a physical disadvantage.There was a louder bang on the door this time “Yo, you fucking piece of shit!” The masculine voice now carried a pissed-off tone. “Open the fucking door or else, you will suffer a more painful death! If you comply now, a quick bullet through your fucking brains will be all you get.”Anthony could see that the former security guard of Sunspot Estate, Corey Hassan, was out of commission. The man was doing his best to not make any noticeable sound while battling the pain of having a bullet shot through his arm. Also, he was still bleeding heavily, so he had his other hand clamped tightly in the hole, trying to reduce his rate of blood loss.The driver turned to Benjamin as he whispered. “Young Master, do you have any plans?!”Benjamin glanced out the broken window. He would have made a move right now if

To be honest, no one would fault them for not “gearing up,” as he stated. They knew they would only be guarding their young master. None of them anticipated that they suddenly had a long-range shooter on their necks.Benjamin began thinking of who might have sent this assassin after him. His suspicion was strongly on Andrew Tyrone, and yet, he felt like his assumed culprit was a bit off.Meanwhile, Hassan Corey quickly picked up a sound…..well, multiple sounds of screaming followed by gunshots. He turned his gaze to Benjamin.“There's more of them! The attacker shooting from the neighboring building did not come alone! The others are coming up here right now.”Hearing this, everyone went silent immediately, and truly, they could hear the screaming. The gunshots got increasingly loud though.Benjamin gritted his teeth as he heard the screaming of what he assumed were customers and employees of the restaurant alike. He didn't like this at all.“Those fuckers are throwing a psychologica

rnished chairs to be brought in clapped her hands at Hassan Corey.“What's wrong with you? I called you in here to do your job, not stare creepily at the customers.”Hassan Corey stiffened slightly at these words of accusations. “I wasn't……” He was immediately cut off.“Don't lie to me, you lowy cleaner!” The female guide suddenly became a bit oppressive with Hassan. “Aren’t you shameless? Trying to flirt with the customers.”Benjamin and Anthony exchanged a look. They didn't expect such a situation to unfold so suddenly. Why was the guide humiliating Corey right in front of them? It seemed quite professional.Benjamin has another suspicion. This guide didn't like Corey Hassan for some reason and she's trying to get him fired by hopefully ruling him up.Meanwhile, Hassan looked like he was taming his anger. “Ma'am, why would you accuse me of such a thing? I have my pride.”“Whatever.” The guide quickly shut him up. “You've done your job, so get out now.”Benjamin could guess that this
