Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 257
Watching everything, Isaac Shawl was shaking.Seated right beside him, Benjamin couldn't even watch the screen. Listening to the voice of the true arsonist on the confession video was already enough to get his blood boiling. Though he maintained his putter demeanor, he was currently releasing an uncontainable emotion that bleed into his aura.In fact, unknown to Isaac Shawl, Benjamin’s aura played a part in how he found his body shaking uncontrollably.To be honest, growing up in his childhood home was a long-term trial that constantly tested Benjamin's patience and ability to adapt to a constantly constraining environment.Growing up, most of his neighbors actually bullied him and his grandmother. The two were the constant subject of ridicule that everyone around them used to entertain.Also, there had been countless times that Theresa had endured so much humiliation while taking care of Benjamin.The neighbors constantly criticize her for adopting a baby in her old age, coupled with

“I want the name of the person who hired you.”In reality, Benjamin was already fully aware that the Tyrone family was behind everything that had to do with the arson and even this protest. The fact that such a move was held off for the past six months was an adequate agent of suspicion that there was someone manipulating everything from behind the scenes.The truth was that Benjamin wanted Isaac Shawl to confess publicly, betraying the backer who gave him the guts to fool so many people.Benjamin wanted the old landlord to not only confess in front of Principal Dice and the two police officers, he wanted Isaac Shawl to confess to a bunch of people who had arrived with the two policemen but were hiding just outside the office.Isaac Shawl was currently thinking of how he could maneuver this situation. He didn't like that someone he had always looked down upon was now doing the same to him. It didn't help at all that he was physically on his knees, looking up at Benjamin like he was fa

Isaac Shawl stared at the faces of his wife, daughter, and everyone else in the office.The expression on each of these faces had their nuances when compared, but one thing was clear - they all saw him as a monster right now.“You guys! Wait, I can explain! You don't understand!”Isaac's attempt to swallow his confession was practically impossible at this point.The wide walked forward with a horrified expression.“You can explain? Fine, then explain yourself. What exactly don't we understand about everything you just spewed from your disgusting mouth?”The guilt dug deeper into Isaac, his gaze showing his hurt as he could feel the wave of disappointment from his wife.“My dear.” He could only whisper this word with a broken voice as he stared up at his wife with eyes conveying a silent apology.Isaac's wife was known to be quite gentle. Even through their decades of being together, she was always careful with her reprimand as she knew that her husband, despite his shrewd ways, had an

About half an hour later, Benjamin had rushed straight to the university's private hospital to meet his friends.April was missing, or rather, she had been kidnapped. The latter were the words that Max had spoken to him on the phone while he was with Principal Dice earlier.After Benjamin got this news, he was stunned. This scenario was not something he had anticipated.He had quickly said a last few words to the principal, ensuring that he handled the situation with Landlord Isaac Shawl and the protesters who were hell-bent on killing their leaders after learning of his unforgivable crimes.Benjamin had them quickly go out to find Anthony, Lieutenant Jason, and the remaining Whiteridge soldiers who were left with him, all waiting for him.Together, they got to their destination.Benjamin had been informed of the floor Max and Olivia was on during his shirt trip here, so he quickly led his team up the elevator.“Max, he's here!” Olivia had quickly pulled Max's attention away from the

In the satellite footage obtained by Andy, everyone saw that the ambulance that was used to transport April to the hospital had actually been intercepted midway by two masked men on a bike.These two men wore full-on leather jackets, pants, boots, and hand gloves.While the one in front maintained the bike’s velocity with that of the ambulance. The other pulled out a gun and pointed it at the medics driving the ambulance.Due to the satellite footage being without audio, Benjamin and his group couldn't understand what was being said. But that wasn't necessary as this could be easily deciphered.The footage displayed as the ambulance soon came to a stop and the two medics came out with their hands raised in the air.It was clear that the masked man with the gun had threatened to kill these medics if they didn't stop the ambulance. Obviously, the medics had no choice but to concede to the threat.Unfortunately for them, they still ended up with a bullet each drilled into their brains by

“That is a risk I'm willing to take. As long as April comes out of this unharmed, I'm fine.”Max was left shocked at this reply. Looking at his best friend's face, he could tell that Benjamin showed no hesitation even though the possibility that he was going to be in great danger was high. He persisted one more time.“Ben, what if this person's intention goes beyond just harming you? What if the intention is to kill both you and April?”Lieutenant Jason jolted up, knocking his head against the roof of the jeep as he heard those words from Max's mouth.“That won't happen! I won't let the boss get into that kind of danger.”Anthony spoke to Benjamin with a soft tone, conveying his deep worry.“Boss, please, reconsider. I doubt this person would hurt April even if you don't meet the conditions that have been given to you. It's clear that the main target here is you.”Olivia nodded her head reluctantly, thinking through multiple angles of this situation.“I think your bodyguard makes a lo

Minutes later, every single one of these masked men was left on the ground in great pain. Some of them were now without their leather jackets. Some had their clothes completely dirty as they had been dragged brutally across the ground like dirty rags. They all had some form of intense injury from fighting Benjamin.As for the weapons they had confidently held onto, they were now scattered around the fighting area.Benjamin had disarmed every one of these masked men while still not showing any sign of fatigue.In fact, Benjamin has no drop of sweat on his face, and his clothes remain neither dirty nor scrunched. It was basically like he wasn't the one who fought all twelve armed masked men in the first place.A masked man, holding on to his injured back, was able to force himself into a stand.“You….You think just because you can fight that you've won?! I'm going to fucking show you your place, you piece of trash!”The masked man retrieved a pistol, pointing it straight at Benjamin.“Y

For a couple of seconds, there seemed to be no sound other than the barrage of gunshots that filled the air, commemorating the lives that were being snuffed out brutally at that moment.One of the five shooters raised a hand as he let out a command to the other four.“Halt!”He then whispered to the Tyrone guy.“Boss, they're all dead.”Meanwhile, the subordinate who had received the rifle from the boss stared at Benjamin, a deep frown forming on his face before he called his boss's attention to something.“Boss, look at that kid. He's not normal. He just witnessed us massacre our own men and he didn't flinch. Also, he hasn't changed from his initial position before we fired at those idiots. How is this possible?”The muscular Tyrone man stared at Benjamin with increasing amusement in his gaze.“Damn, it seems my little brother had been facing a hidden tiger cub this whole time. I can't wait to deal with him.”With a sickening smile on his face, the boss straightened his suit jacket b

“Fuck! Your screams…..! I didn't think they would bring me so much joy!”With a look of devilish greed, Dr. Tank began to rain punches on Benjamin's left shoulder, reveling in the screams that Benjamin let out as a result.“More! More!! Sing out your pain to me, Benjamin! It's angelic to my ears!”Benjamin was in a world of pain he had never felt before. The punches that Dr. Tank delivered to his left shoulder shouldn't have caused this level of pain, not after the intense tempering his body had gone through since the age of thirteen.Yet, he found himself not being able to hear it. Dr. Tank's punches rained on that left shoulder and his body erupted, almost making him wish he was dead.Dr. Tank was almost teary-eyed from pleasure just from watching Benjamin being tormented.April could see that Dr. Tank wasn't going to stop until either Benjamin passed out from pain or he became too tired and his arms were no longer able to exert any force. She couldn't wait for either to happen.Luc

Benjamin saw how easily his words had gotten to Dr. Tank. He deduced that his victory over Dr. Tank back then had left a huge traumatic footprint deep within the psyche of the usually egotistical doctor.A huge shadow had been left in Dr. Tank's mind, weighing heavily over his fragile self-worth as a successful orthopedic surgeon. Even after the couple of months that had passed, this doctor had not been able to overcome the psychological blow he had received from Benjamin when he lost everything at Health-Bind Hospital.Noticing all this, Benjamin kept pushing as he needed this man to be riled up in order to trick him into giving him what he wanted.“By the way, did you hear?”Dr. Tank's back was tense as he remained bent on Josh's knees, over the bag containing the various torture devices.“Hearing what?” He didn't sound as confidently sinister as he did earlier.Benjamin didn't give two fucks as he continued.“Dr. Felicia had risen to a senior resident at Health-Bind Hospital immed

The female nurse clapped her hands while jumping on her toes as if she were a little girl who had just received the best candy in the world.“Yippee! Anyways, the doctor we were working under refused to give that patient those experimental drugs. So we did it instead. Though it has to be done behind the doctor's back. In fact, we didn't inform the patient that we were going to treat him with the experimental drugs.”“We waited until he was asleep, then we began to inject minimum dosage into his bloodstream.”April frowned slightly, looking like her interest was piqued.“Go on.”The female nurse was even more delighted that April was showing so much interest in her narration.“Well, at first, the politician seemed a lot better. Unfortunately, his stupid body began acting funny. It couldn't receive the components of the experimental drugs. So we injected more and more into him, until…..”No one in that dark room needed to be told that the politician from Mexico died from an overdose of

Benjamin was left to wonder how he had not noticed that April had this capability. There was no way this lady was normal despite the known extent of her past regarding how they met.Benjamin found April being bullied by Alexa and those disgusting sorority ladies, and he assumed that she was a damsel in distress.Yet, April was suddenly showing a mental capability that could only be honed in the most dangerous environment.For example, Benjamin's ability to give off an incredibly terrifying aura, along with his abnormal strength, agility, and power of accurate deduction, were all honed during the horrible incident he endured and later survived although at the age of thirteen.So Benjamin wondered what April could have gone through to awaken such a skill in her.Benjamin even wondered if she had picked up this ability by witnessing him do it multiple times. He quickly erased that, knowing that it should have taken much more than that.Back to the present,For some reason, the nurses bec

Benjamin couldn't be sure if April was physically all right or not. The room they were both in was dark, with the only source of light being the natural rays from the full moon, seeping through the small window opening opposite the wall where April's bed was placed.“April, are you alright?” There was a sense of urgency in Benjamin's voice.Hearing this, April couldn't help but smile slightly. Knowing that her crush was truly worried about her made her happy.“Yeah, I'm fine. Other than being extremely weak, and the fact that I'm tied to this bed, I don't think I'm really injured.”At that moment, April lifted her head only to let out a groan.Benjamin became alert after just letting out a sigh of relief.“What?! What is it?!”April slowly dropped her head back on the pillow, which was actually a soft neck pillow placed beneath her head.“My head. It hurts a bit.”Benjamin stared at her with worry.“Be careful, okay? You got hit pretty hard with that goofball. Plus, your emergency tre

Internally, she apologized to April for unknowingly creating a hurdle in her path to creating a romantic relationship with the man of her dreams.Seeing that the head butler was now turning her oppressive demeanor on Olivia, Max stepped in, talking to her with an appeasing tone.“Head Butler Lia, talking down on everyone would not solve the current issue on the ground.”“Then what do you suggest we do, Mr. Max, huh?”Before the non-productive argument could proceed, a maid rushed over to talk to the head butler.“Head Butler, the madam is getting anxious. She keeps asking why Mr. Max hasn't returned.”Max, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason recognized this had to be one of Grandma Theresa’s private maids.Around the time that the grandmother-grandson duo had begun living in this mansion, Benjamin realized that his grandmother had become quite close with seven female housekeepers, almost treating them like they were her daughters.After discovering that the old woman simply did it out of lo

Anthony couldn't take this anymore.“With all due respect, Head Butler Locks, you don't know what happened? We had orders directly from the young master to stay put and wait for his return. Someone else's life was in danger because of him and we had no choice but to obey.”“Shut up!” Head Butler Lia did not hesitate to snap at Anthony.She walked towards him and swiftly raised her index finger at him.At that moment, Lieutenant Jason was convinced that the angry head butler was about to slap Anthony too. So he quickly stepped in, standing between her and Anthony.This definitely left everyone watching shocked. There were also housekeepers who wanted nothing but to gossip around all day.Seeing the way Anthony had placed himself between the head butler and Anthony, they were shocked as well.“What's this?! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Lieutenant Jason just protected that driver?!”“Hey?! Shut up! So you want to get punished by Head Butler Lia or the young master himself?! We've been thor

The group finally arrived at the residence, Benjamin's residence.Olivia was left in awe as he saw how incredibly grand this place was. Her eyes were left widened and her mouth was slightly agape as the gates were opened and everyone drove their respective vehicles past the gates.“This place is huge.”Max, who was driving the car, smirked.“And you'll never see any other mansion bigger or more luxurious than this one. It is the No.1 residence in this estate after all.”Olivia turned her focus back to the barracks, where she could see many men and women sparring and training in various ways.From the distance, she could also see that some of these men and women were training with weapons.The unique thing in this case is that these weapons neither looked normal nor functioned normally. Though one could easily tell that those weapons were firearms, the element of ejection did not look like bullets but rather….a beam of blue light.Olivia could also see how each beam would totally disi

Without another word, the female Whiteridge soldier grabbed the other hand of the security guard, who had a tight grip on Max's shirt. She tried the grip open before delivering a cruel punch to the security guard's gut. She then flipped the guy over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground on his back.This definitely brought the attention of everyone within range of view, including other security guards.These security guards rushed over to deal with this woman who had just taken down their members, but the female Whiteridge soldier was immediately backed up by the remaining four comrades.Max was quickly taken to the side as the five Whiteridge soldiers faced more than twenty security guards.“Max, are you alright?!”In his daze, Max turned around to find a pair of dainty hands on his shoulders. Looking up, he found Olivia staring at him with great concern.“Olivia, w….what are you doing here?”Before Olivia could reply, Lieutenant Jason's voice came behind them as he was accompanie
