Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 404: Benjamin In Syria
Cipherella stepped forward, her expression resolute and unwavering. "I'm ready, master," she said with a calm, steady voice. "Here to serve you always." Benjamin gave a slight nod, appreciating her loyalty and readiness. "Good," he replied. "Prepare everything for our departure. We leave as soon as possible.” The next day, just before dawn, Benjamin and Cipherella stood ready. It was around 4 a.m., and the air was cool and still. They both wore outfits that were unique and strangely practical, designed for a mission that required both stealth and speed. Benjamin was dressed in a sleek, form-fitting black jacket made from a high-tech, bulletproof fabric that looked like a regular leather jacket. His pants were reinforced with tactical padding, blending seamlessly into a pair of sturdy, lightweight boots. The dark colors of his clothing seemed to absorb the surrounding shadows, making him almost blend into the dim light of early morning. Cipherella, standing beside him, wore a dark,
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 405: Arabic Driver
Carrying their large loads filled with weapons, suits, and other equipment, Benjamin and Cipherella made their way through a narrow, open street. It wasn't particularly busy, but a few cars were passing by, and the occasional pedestrian walked along the sidewalks. The two of them moved carefully, mindful of their surroundings and the conspicuousness of their presence.Cipherella glanced at Benjamin and asked, “So, master, where are we going now?”“Al-Maliki,” Benjamin replied. “That’s where Darnell’s base is. We’ll stay in a hotel there for now.”As they continued walking, they noticed that people were staring at them strangely. Benjamin realized that it was likely because of their attire. Cipherella’s fitted coat and tactical pants stood out among the local women, who were dressed in long, modest clothing, their heads covered with scarves. The men, too, were dressed in loose, long-sleeved shirts and trousers. Their foreign appearance, combined with their heavy bags, drew more attenti
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 406: Damascus
Benjamin raised an eyebrow slightly at the high fare but didn’t argue. “Uh, that isn’t a worry,” he said, waving off the concern. “But can you find us a good hotel to stay in? Something cool and private, you know, good.”The driver shrugged. “High-end hotels are in Damascus, so you’ll need to go there rather.”“Damascus?” Benjamin asked, “Is it far from Al-Maliki?”The driver chuckled lightly. “Al-Maliki is actually a neighborhood within Damascus, not a separate city or town. It is located in the western part of Damascus and is considered one of the more affluent and prestigious areas.”“So it’s very close, then. That’s good,” Benjamin said, feeling more at ease.“Okay, thank you,” Benjamin added, settling back into his seat.Cipherella turned to Benjamin, a thoughtful expression on her face. “Master, what about the money? How will you get their currency? Do you need to go to a forex bureau?”Benjamin shook his head, a slight smile on his lips. “No, that’s not a big deal. My bank is a
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 407: Driver Warns Benjamin Off Darnell
The streets of Damascus were lively, filled with the steady hum of activity. Cars of all shapes and sizes moved along the narrow roads, honking occasionally as they navigated the winding pathways. Pedestrians walked along the sidewalks, some carrying bags of fresh produce from the local markets, others in groups, engaged in animated conversations. The scent of spices and street food wafted through the air, mingling with the occasional puff of smoke from small roadside stalls roasting meats and baking flatbreads. Benjamin glanced out of the car window, taking in the scene. The city was a blend of old and new, with ancient stone buildings lining the streets, their facades weathered but charming, standing alongside more modern constructions. Some areas were more polished, showcasing wealth with upscale boutiques and cafés, while others displayed a more modest lifestyle, with small shops and vendors peddling their wares. The atmosphere was vibrant, yet not overwhelmingly crowded. Childre
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 408: Suite Booked
Benjamin exchanged a glance with Cipherella, his expression relaxed yet cautious. “We’re looking for a room,” he said. “Something private and comfortable. We’ll be staying for a few days.”“Of course,” the young man replied smoothly. “We have several options available. Would you prefer a suite or a more standard room?”“A suite would be perfect,” Benjamin answered, keeping his tone friendly. He wanted to appear like any other traveler, even if his purpose here was far from ordinary.The young man nodded again and typed swiftly into his computer. “We have a lovely suite on the top floor that offers privacy and an excellent view of the city. I think it would be perfect for you.” He paused and looked at Benjamin. “Will that suit your needs?”“Yes, that sounds good,” Benjamin replied.The receptionist finished her conversation with the driver in Arabic, then turned her attention back to Benjamin and Cipherella. Her smile was polite but held a hint of curiosity as she assessed the newcomer
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 409: Syrian Dish
Cipherella nodded, her expression thoughtful. “It’s perfect for what we need,” she replied.As Benjamin sat on the sofa, taking in the luxurious surroundings, he suddenly felt his stomach rumble. He hadn’t realized how hungry he was until that moment. He glanced over at Cipherella, who had moved from the window to inspect the room.“I’m hungry,” Benjamin said, standing up and stretching slightly. “Let’s go find something to eat. I guess the breakfast option will start tomorrow.”Cipherella nodded in agreement. “Good idea, Master. We should get something now.”They quickly gathered themselves, making sure to lock the door securely behind them before stepping out into the hallway. They then made their way to the elevator, descending to the hotel lobby.Once they arrived in the lobby, Benjamin approached the front desk, where the same receptionist who had greeted them earlier was now attending to another guest. After a moment, the receptionist looked up and smiled at Benjamin. “Excuse m
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 410: Maverick Ask For Money
As Benjamin took his first bite of the Shakriya, the flavors hit him all at once. The lamb was incredibly tender, almost melting in his mouth, but the yogurt-based sauce had a tangy sharpness that caught him off guard. It was unlike anything he had tasted before — rich and creamy, yet slightly sour, with a subtle hint of garlic and spices.His brow furrowed slightly as he processed the unfamiliar flavor profile. The tang of the yogurt clashed momentarily with his expectations, but as he continued chewing, the blend of spices began to warm his palate, and the dish started to grow on him."It’s... different," Benjamin said, glancing at Cipherella. "Definitely not what I expected.”Cipherella took her own bite, her expression thoughtful as she experienced the same initial surprise. "Strange, but kind of good," she responded, nodding slowly. The sauce's tangy edge was softened by the tenderness of the lamb and the mildness of the rice, making for an unusual but comforting combination.As
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 411: M&A Tracks Maverick
Maverick shifted in his seat but met his father’s angry stare. "It wasn’t enough, okay? Things are expensive! You have no idea what it’s like to keep up appearances. There was this event, and then the after-parties—”“Lavishing money on parties and events!” Rudra cut him off, his voice now booming. "You’re wasting the money I give you, and now you want more? Have you lost your mind?"Maverick's face flushed with anger as he shot back. "The money is small! Do you even know how much my friends spend in a night? They’re living it up, and I’m here counting every penny you give me like some... some common kid! I need more! There’s this huge show coming up, and I can’t miss it. Everyone will be there!”Rudra stood up, his patience clearly gone. "You want more money?" he yelled. "Then come work for it! I’m not a bottomless bank. You want to live like a king? Fine, then start helping me run this hotel. You need to understand how hard it is to make that money you throw away!”Maverick's eyes w

Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

Chapter 444: Rose Stone
“I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl

Chapter 443: Maverick Questioning II
Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded

Chapter 442: The Next Plan
Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p

The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s

Chapter 440: Tables Turned
The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point

Chapter 439: Abdelkarim Faces Bully
The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd

Chapter 438: Clean My Shoes
As they entered, Benjamin's gaze swept over the bustling interior of the establishment. The atmosphere was thick with chatter, clinking glasses, and faint music playing in the background. At one side of the room, a group of rugged-looking men occupied a long table. They were loud, drinking and eating heartily, with wisps of smoke curling from the cigarettes and cigars they casually puffed.Their appearances were striking—some had jagged scars running across their cheeks.Others had scarves tied around their heads, their expressions hard and uninviting, with sharp eyes that scanned the room like predators on the lookout. A few wore leather jackets with frayed edges, while others had rugged shirts and boots.Benjamin took note but didn’t linger on them. Instead, he calmly made his way to an unoccupied corner on the other side of the room. He settled into a chair with an air of quiet authority, his face betraying no hint of concern. Cipherella followed closely, her gaze flickering brief

Chapter 437: Abdelkarim Takes Benjamin To Restaurant
Benjamin settled back onto the couch, gesturing for Cipherella to sit. She listened intently as he recounted the night's events."Cipherella," he began, "I met Abdelkarim yesterday. His boss wasn’t exactly treating him right, and he seemed ready for a change."Abdelkarim shifted uneasily, but Benjamin continued. "We ended up being followed by three of Darnell's men. They tried to corner us, but I convinced them to switch sides and work for me. Abdelkarim here was part of that, and he’s proven he’s willing to take on something bigger.”Cipherella raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. “And they just… agreed? Just like that?”Benjamin nodded, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "Sometimes all it takes is to show someone what they’re worth. They’d been risking their lives for scraps. Now, they have a reason to be loyal." He glanced at Abdelkarim, who looked both grateful and a little overwhelmed.Cipherella sighed, finally relaxing a bit. “If you trust him, Master, then that’s enough
