"Is he trying to be a hero or something?""He's going to regret this. Sharks are no joke.""He's going to get himself killed. What a foolish move.”Unfazed by the skeptical comments, Benjamin continued his determined run towards the water. The echoes of doubt and mockery faded into the background as his singular focus remained on reaching Cordelia.Meanwhile, the others had successfully reached the shore, their escape from the looming danger almost complete. However, Cordelia, still in the water, struggled with each stroke as fatigue took its toll, her once agile swimming slowing with every passing minute. Splash!” Benjamin threw himself into the water immediately he got close. The moment Benjamin threw himself into the water, it became apparent that he lacked the proficiency in swimming. Panic gripped him as he floundered, struggling to stay afloat.Wow!” Everyone was surprised seeing what was happening to Benjamin. "Is he serious? He can't even swim!""This is like a comedy show.
Gasps and terrified whispers spread through the onlookers as the shark approached Cordelia, its jaws poised to strike."Oh no, someone has to do something!"I can't watch this, it's too much!""Benjamin, please do something!""Ms. Winslow, be careful!""Is there no one to help her?!”Cordelia who knew there was nothing she could do finally took a last sad look at Benjamin before she closed her eyes waiting for what was going to happen. The shark was about to finally take its first bite when Benjamin, who had gotten forward, pulled Cordelia with great force.Gap! The shark closed its jaws, missing Cordelia.Boom! Benjamin didn't waste time and delivered two strong blows with his strength to the shark.Awww! The shark screamed, feeling the pain.Bang! Turning around, Benjamin kicked the shark with all his might.Wow!”Whispers among the students filled the air with admiration for Benjamin's unexpected bravery, especially from the business students who found pride in his resilience."Di
Cordelia covered her mouth, shaking her head as she uttered, "No, no, nothing will happen, as long as there's no blood, Benjamin is fine." She struggled to maintain composure. As students around her started whispering, suggesting the worst, Cordelia couldn't bear the negativity.Attempting to silence the pessimistic voices, Cordelia lashed out, "Shut up! Don't you have a sense of reasoning? How can you wish for death for your fellow student? Are you alright?" The students fell silent under her stern gaze.As the sports teacher tried to assert his perspective, Cordelia interrupted with a mocking clap. "Clap for yourself, sir. Can you hear yourself? Aren't you a coward? You were running like a fish escaping danger, while I was trying my best to help the others out. Benjamin came inside to also help me without thinking of anything, but you're here spewing some kind of nonsense?" The sports teacher found himself a bit embarrassed by Cordelia's rebuke."How can I wait to sacrifice myself?
The underwater battle intensified as Benjamin fought against the formidable force of the shark, using the makeshift weapon to stab and weaken his aquatic adversary. As the blood from Benjamin's struggles floated to the surface, the students and teachers on the beach were horrified. Panic ensued, and screams erupted as some students started proclaiming that Benjamin had been killed by the shark. "Oh my God, Benjamin is gone!""Did you see that? The shark got him!""I can't believe he's really gone!”"Serve him right, he shouldn't have jumped in.""Well, he wanted to play the hero, and now he's shark food.""Is he really gone? I can't believe it.""This is terrible. Why did he have to do that?""I hope he's okay... but what was he thinking?""He shouldn't have taken such a risk.”"I don't care what happens to him. He brought it on himself." Irene's indifferent tone cut through The sports teacher, looking uneasy, muttered, "This is what happens when people act without thinking. Foolis
Seeing that there was no response from Benjamin, Cordelia urgently screamed, "Help me!" Students rushed to assist, quickly helping Benjamin up and guiding him inside his car, which Cordelia drove. The sports teacher offered to join them to the hospital, but Cordelia shot him a glare, signaling him to stay away. She gathered Benjamin's belongings, wore her clothes, and sat in the driver's seat.As they sped towards the hospital, Cordelia looked at Benjamin and reassured him, "My dear Benjamin, you'll be fine, nothing will happen to you." She accelerated, determined to reach the hospital as swiftly as possible. Within an hour, they arrived, and doctors promptly took Benjamin who was with his soaked singlet and torn short into the facility. Cordelia, with teary eyes, watched through the glass window as her injured student received medical attention.Inside the hospital room, medical professionals quickly attended to Benjamin. They used a suction device to carefully extract water from h
Cordelia was about to reply again when all of a sudden, there was a knock followed by the doctor himself entering.Cordelia stood up and gave him way. The doctor walked over and said, "So, Mr. Benjamin, I'm going to give you the last shot, then you can leave." He looked at Cordelia and asked, "Who stays with him, please?"Cordelia hesitated, glanced at Benjamin, and then replied, "I stay with him."The doctor, perplexed, questioned, "Huh? I thought you said you're just his teacher, so how are you staying with him?"Cordelia, at a loss for words, didn't know how to reply. Benjamin, sensing the situation, cleared his throat and intervened, "That shouldn't be a problem, right, doctor?”The doctor nodded and said, "That's true." He then looked at Cordelia and added, "I'll request you stay with him tonight in one room, please. You'll have to give him some shots yourself and help him take some drugs. It will be described to you at the counter, and please make sure he's not stressed."Gaspin
Nathan, trying to downplay Benjamin's involvement, smirked and said, "Well, if you say so. I just thought Cordelia would appreciate a more refined company for dinner, not someone who probably doesn't even know which fork to use." He still remembered how Benjamin tried to disgrace him that night so be decided to revenge. Cordelia looked angry and said firmly, "Mr., you can't come here to our table and speak anyhow to him. Please leave."Nathan was stunned and asked, "Why are you fighting so much for him, Cordelia? Why acting like he's your boyfriend?”"Of course, sorry I didn't tell you. Benjamin and I are now dating. Why are we both at a restaurant? Are you fine now?" she asked, her anger evident in her tone."Wow, Nathan, you will be stunned," Cordelia retorted, "You're joking, right?""No, Nathan, I'm not joking," she replied with a firm tone. "Benjamin and I are together now. It's best if you respect our relationship and move on.”Benjamin, though caught off guard, managed to main
They kissed for a while before Benjamin finally took his shirt off and got on top of Cordelia kissing her deeply. At that moment, he took Cordelia's night gown off without her saying a word. What was left now was her undies and her bra. Benjamin got on top of her, kissing her deeply. They rolled all over the bed, their moment becoming hot by each passing minute. Benjamin's hands roamed around her thigh and smacked her. He moved his lips towards her neck trailing kisses down her neck. Cordelia shut her eyes lightly, lost in the moment of pleasure. Benjamin slowly unhooked Cordelia bra revealing her endowed nice shaped boobs. Benjamin couldn't take his eyes off, Cordelia was indeed an amazing lady with all kinds of perfect body shapes. He sent his lips towards Cordelia's ear and then whispered. “You're really beautiful Ms. Winslow.” Saying this, he gently traced kisses from her chest to her boobs. He bent his head forward and took one of her nipples into his mouth, sucking it. Arrh
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
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
