A gasp echoed through the room, breaking the silence. The revelation left everyone stunned, especially Benjamin, who now faced an unexpected turn of events.

“How? How fake? It's not.” Benjamin said stunned.

Nathan couldn't contain his laughter, and it erupted in the room like an unwelcome storm. His smugness reached new heights as he looked at Benjamin with a mocking gaze.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Nathan said, his laughter filled with derision.

"Benjamin, it seems your grand gift isn't as grand as you thought. A fake watch to match your fake accusations, perhaps?”

The room felt heavy with tension, and the ladies exchanged uncomfortable glances. Cordelia's expression shifted from doubt to surprise, her eyes narrowing at Benjamin. The unexpected twist had turned the tables, leaving Benjamin in an awkward position.

Nathan continued his mockery, relishing the moment. "Couldn't even afford a genuine Rolex, huh? Your attempt to expose me backfired spectacularly.”

    Mom." Benjamin called out happily and then spoke to her. After the call, he happily looked at them and said, "Hannah, try the Rolex Datejust again. This time, not in the normal code checker. This one wasn't bought. It was specially made for my mom as a VIP member."Gasp! They all turned to look at Benjamin; it was like he was bragging. How could the company make a watch, and even his mom is a VIP member? It felt like a lie.Nathan sneered and said, "Oh wow, a specially made watch for your VIP mom? Are you trying to impress us with a made-up story? Nice try, Benjamin, but we're not buying it."Cordelia raised an eyebrow, looking at Benjamin with a hint of doubt. She whispered, "Specially made for a VIP member? Benjamin, are you making up stories to save face?”Hannah, although initially skeptical, asked, "Where do I enter the code?"Benjamin responded confidently, "There's a special code authenticator; enter the numbers there."As everyone eagerly awaited, Hannah entered the code.

    Nathan, feeling victorious, thanked Cordelia with a smile, "Thank you, Cordelia. I appreciate it. I'll message you to finalize the details. Looking forward to our dinner.”Cordelia shook her head, "Don't worry about him; let's not talk about him."Benjamin nodded, respecting her wish not to delve into the topic.Cordelia's attention shifted to the gift box, and she inquired, "Are you delivering this gift to someone tonight? I can drive you there."Benjamin smiled lightly, "Actually, I don't even know what's inside. It was given to me by my mom.”"You don't know what's inside? Then how are you delivering it to someone?"Benjamin didn't say a word and proceeded to unwrap the gift. As the wrapping came off, he opened the box, revealing its contents.Inside the box was a stunning silver necklace adorned with a delicate pendant, catching the light in an intricate pattern that left Cordelia and Benjamin momentarily captivated.Cordelia had noticed the necklace instantly, mentioning its name

    Benjamin nodded and said, "Yes, I will be able to make it."Cordelia nodded and added, "I hope you can have a good sleep. You shouldn't be late to class tomorrow; I have a class with you guys.”"What are we going to learn?" he asked."Isn't it a fraud to tell you that already?" she said.Benjamin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, no need to tell me. But will you punish me if I'm late?"Cordelia looked at him and asked, "Any doubt? Even if you are a minute late, I might punish you, and I mean it.""Okay, Ms. I'll try my best to be on campus on time to avoid getting punished by you.”"That would be good," Cordelia said and then continued driving.Looking at the time, it was late. Benjamin didn't want to go home; after all, it was very far, so he decided to get a hotel and then sleep."Uhm, we are close to the Imperial Luminary Hotel; stop when we get there," he said."Why are you getting down near the hotel? Won't you head home?" Cordelia asked.Benjamin shook his head and said, "It's very

    Benjamin chuckled and said, “fine I'll leave obeying the rules but kneel and ask for forgiveness else..”The security chuckled and said, "What will you do to me? Beat me or get me fired?"Benjamin nodded and replied, "Yes, you'll be fired. Although you're doing your job, you're very rude."The security laughed mockingly, "Although you look handsome, you're very poor too. Look at your dressing, yuck! I want to puke. Do you want me to drag you outside or hit you with my stick? Which one?”You still have the last chance to kneel, and I'll let you go; otherwise, as I said, you're losing this job. Benjamin emphasized once again.The security guard laughed and retorted, "If I don't lose this job, remember I'll deal with you."Benjamin nodded and calmly stated, "Since you want to prove to be tough, I'll show you where the power lies." Without further ado, he sent a text message to Ezra, including the security guard's name which was on his uniform. The security guard, thinking Benjamin was b

    “Sir, please, I'm begging you. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. I'll apologize a thousand times if I have to. This job means everything to me. I'll change, I promise. Just give me one more chance,"Benjamin, however, was resolute. "Opportunity comes but once. You had yours, and you wasted it. Now, leave before I take further action."The security guard, looking defeated and saddened, nodded. "I understand. I'm truly sorry for everything," he said, apologizing once again. He then walked away, shoulders slouched, realizing the gravity of his mistakes. Benjamin, without a second glance, opened the glass door and walked inside the hotel.As Benjamin stepped through the revolving glass doors of the opulent seven-star hotel, he was immediately enveloped by a world of unparalleled luxury and grandeur. The vast lobby, adorned with gleaming marble floors and exquisite floral arrangements, stretched before him like a palatial scene from a dream. The air was delicately perfumed w

    The beautiful lady frowned, hearing Benjamin yell, and said, "Hello, this is a hotel, not your home. Please don't yell."Benjamin didn't want to speak to her, so he ignored her and looked at the lady at the front desk, waiting for an answer.The lady at the desk sighed and said, "It's not about you being here first, sir. It's about having the ability to pay for the price, please.""What do you mean? Did I tell you I can't pay?" he asked.The lady frowned and said, "I said to acquire a black membership VIP card costs $50,000, not $50 or $500, please."Her words angered Benjamin; he felt like he was being looked down on."Who said I was thinking of $50 or $500? I'm ready to pay $50,000. It's late; please be fast and let me have a good rest. I'm really tired," he said.The lady was stunned; Benjamin seemed to be putting on quite a show. Unable to change his clothes, he claimed he could pay $50,000. She chose to disregard Benjamin and turned to the other lady, saying, "Let's proceed, plea

    Meanwhile, the staff led Benjamin into the executive room. The room was very big and beautiful with modern furnishings and a tasteful color scheme of muted tones.The centerpiece was a king-sized bed adorned with luxurious linens and plump pillows. Adjacent to the bedroom was a spacious living area. A plush sofa and elegant chairs surrounded a coffee table, creating a perfect spot for relaxation. A state-of-the-art flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall. The en-suite bathroom boasted marble accents, a deep soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Premium toiletries and fluffy towels added to the indulgent experience.A stylish mini-bar featured an assortment of beverages and snacks, complemented by a chic dining area with seating for two.Smart controls allowed guests to adjust lighting, temperature, and even request room service with the touch of a button. The room was equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance the overall guest experience.Benjamin was satisfied; his $50,00

    Immediately Benjamin stepped out, closing his door, he saw someone from the next room also emerging—it was the other lady who was ready to pay the $50,000. He was a bit shocked because he didn't expect her to get the executive room too, since he already secured the last one.She looked beautiful, and still in her night costume, she was heading back into her room. She greeted Benjamin with a simple "hi," but he didn't reply, turning around and walking away.Feeling a bit late, Benjamin quickened his pace to lessen the punishment he might receive from Cordelia. As he reached the main area where the office desk was, his eyes met someone entering – Maverick Stone.Seeing Maverick made Benjamin frown slightly. Maverick, too, wore a puzzled expression, wondering why someone like Benjamin was at their hotel.Angrily, Maverick approached Benjamin and demanded, "What do you want here?”"Oh God, I'm late, and now there's another problem?" Benjamin muttered. He tried to walk past Maverick, but h

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    The men exchanged nervous glances, doubling down on their story despite Darnell's threat. The first man cleared his throat, attempting to sound confident. "Boss, like we said, it was just a routine check. We saw the car following and thought it could be a minor threat, so we stopped to make sure it wasn’t an issue. But they turned around as soon as we approached."The second man nodded quickly. "Exactly, boss. We didn’t think it was worth disturbing you for something so small, figured we could handle it ourselves.”Darnell's gaze remained icy, not buying the excuses. His eyes bored into each one of them, but they held firm, each nodding in agreement, sticking to their story. "We were just looking out for you, boss," the third one added, trying to muster confidence. "Didn’t want to waste your time.”Darnell narrowed his eyes at them one last time, as if weighing the truth of their story. Finally, with a wave of his hand, he dismissed the tension. “Fine,” he said sharply. “Get back in

    The men climbed out of their cars and walked over to Darnell’s vehicle, where he stood waiting, his expression already dark with suspicion. As they approached, he wasted no time.“What’s wrong?” Darnell’s voice cut through the silence, his gaze sharp and unyielding. “Where’s the last car?”The men looked at each other, shifting uncomfortably, clearly at a loss. Finally, one of them spoke up. “We...we don’t know, boss. One minute, they were right behind us, and the next...they weren’t.”Darnell’s jaw tightened. “I don’t want excuses. Give me an answer.”They fumbled for words, but all they could offer was a helpless shrug. Frustrated, Darnell took a deep breath and crossed his arms. “Fine. Who was in the last car? Give me their names. Now.”The men stammered for a moment, then rattled off the names of the three who had been in the missing car, exchanging nervous glances as they waited for Darnell's reaction.Darnell narrowed his eyes, his impatience evident. “Call them. Now,” he ordere

    As the men disappeared down the road, Abdelkarim turned to Benjamin, a worried crease on his brow. "Do you trust them? What if they tell their boss everything?"Benjamin's expression was unwavering. "They won’t."Abdelkarim’s eyebrows rose, disbelief flickering in his gaze. "How do you know?"Benjamin smirked, a trace of confidence in his eyes. "Because I gave them something Darnell never has: respect. They’ve been doing his dirty work for scraps. Darnell treats them as disposable. But me? I just paid them a month’s worth in minutes and offered them a way out. Right now, loyalty is cheap—but it’s the one thing Darnell can't buy.”Abdelkarim nodded slowly, his gaze steadying with newfound determination. “I’m ready to work for you, Benjamin,” he said with a slight smile. “But... tonight, I don’t have anywhere to stay. I might just end up sleeping in the car.”Benjamin’s expression softened. “Don’t worry about that. You’ll stay with me,” he replied. “As long as you’re willing to follow m

    Chapter 433: $2000 Each

    Benjamin looked at them intently. “How much do you want to be paid?” he asked, his voice calm but commanding.The men glanced at each other, hesitating for a moment. Finally, one spoke up, “Every month… pay us double what Darnell does.”The other nodded, adding quickly, “Yeah. 2000 dollars each.”Benjamin smirked, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He had expected them to ask for something outrageous—10,000, even 50,000 dollars a month. Instead, they only wanted a mere double of what Darnell paid them. To someone like him, 2000 dollars was nothing, even if he had to pay them that amount daily.“Deal,” he said without hesitation, nodding once.They stared at him, dumbfounded. “Wait… deal? Just like that?” one of them asked, disbelief evident in his voice.Benjamin shrugged. “2000 dollars a month is nothing to me if you’re loyal and good at what you do.”They exchanged glances, still stunned by his response. "You... you really mean that?" one of them asked, sounding almost hopeful.Benja
