William wrapped his hands and put on his boxing gloves.

George however was concerned for his safety. “Master Knight. I would advise you not to take this fight. Ryan is one of the best boxers in the city, he is not an easy opponent.”

“It doesn’t matter. He won’t be able to lay a hand on me” William said confidently.

“Also, do not refer to me as Asher Knight in front of others, just William.” he warned with a stern tone.

“As you wish sir.”

As they got into the ring. The people cheered for Ryan. They couldn’t wait to see him beat up another victim.

He pulled off his gold plated imperial belt and gave it to the referee to hold.

Ryan flexed his muscles. From his physique, you could tell he was very strong.

Everyone was expecting him to knock out William without breaking a sweat.

Ryan stared at William as he got into the ring. He had always known William to be a weakling.

He had seen Damon beat him like a dog more times than he could remember.

The difference between their strength was unmeasurable. He was going to make sure he destroyed William’s face beyond recognition.

However, he had not realized that the man he was with in the ring was different.

George watched at the side of the ring with nervousness. If anything bad happened to Asher Knight in his gym, it would end badly for him.

Meanwhile William remained calm. He had spent almost 2 years learning martial combat in the most ruthless army in the world.

He was extremely strong and he was going to show Ryan what he was made of. He was going to destroy him for thinking he could look down on him.

The bell rang for the fight to start and Ryan had an evil smirk on his face.

“I’m going to enjoy this.” he said cockily.

Ryan started the attack, launching two strikes in quick succession. However, all he hit was air. William dodged both punches swiftly.

He launched another punch but still couldn’t hit him.

“What’s the problem? Are your big arms too slow?” William taunted him.

Ryan boiled with rage. No one had dodged his punches so easily before. He prided himself in being one of the fastest punchers.

He went towards William again, striking faster and harder. William dodged every single punch skillfully.

William smiled mockingly. “I thought they said you were the Imperial champion?”

“Come on. I’ll make it easier for you.” William put his hands behind his back and put his face forward inviting Ryan to punch him.

Ryan growled and went at William with everything he had but William just skillfully moved out of the way leaving Ryan struggling to catch his breath.

William’s gaze hardened. “Now it’s my turn.”

William moved so fast that Ryan didn’t understand what was happening. Two lightning fast punches struck him in the face.

He tried to guard but it was no use. William was too fast and powerful. He delivered four more punches in quick succession.

Ryan wobbled around, his vision had become blurry from the swelling William’s punches had caused. He tried to hit William once more but completely missed and fell on the ropes.

As he turned, William gave him such a hard punch that dislocated his jaw and he fell to the ground like a piece of noodle. He was knocked out.

Everyone gasped. They couldn’t believe what had just happened. William had beaten Ryan like he was an amateur.

Even George was surprised at what had happened. He realized that Asher knight was no ordinary man.

By the time Ryan regained his consciousness, his beloved imperial belt was being handed over to William. His face was purple from the beating he had received.

William walked towards him, George following him behind.

“I believe it is time you keep your end of the bet.” George said.

Ryan fumed with anger. “You want me to kneel before this nobody?!”

George’s face hardened. “You agreed to it. If you fail to keep your word, you will be kicked out of the boxing association.”

George was one of the top members of the boxing association so he knew he could get him kicked out.

Ryan knew he was serious. But what he couldn’t understand was why he was so obedient to someone like William.

He had no choice if he wanted to continue his boxing career. He slowly got down on his knees in front of William.

He felt a wave of shame and humiliation as others watched. He had never knelt before anyone and now he was forced to kneel before William

“I’m sorry I insulted you. William”

“Master William” George corrected him.

Ryan’s jaw clenched. “M-Master William” he said with his head bowed.

William smiled. He enjoyed bringing someone as proud as Ryan to his knees.

Just like this, he was going to bring every single member of the Grey family to their knees

    [William’s Apartment] “Scarlett is prepared to beat the bid. She has offered 130 billion dollars.” William informed Roland. Roland nodded, a bit surprised. “I wasn’t sure if she would.” William chuckled. “I know Scarlett. I knew she’d never be able to stand seeing William outdo her. Her pride won’t allow her to.” “I guess you’ll be awarding the contract to her now?” Roland asked. William’s eyes narrowed, he walked towards to his home bar picking out a bottle of whiskey. “Not yet. I still want to push her a little bit more.” A confused expression was drawn on Roland’s face. “What do you mean?” “EdgeSpin is going to be making another bid of 15 billion.” William replied. Roland’s eyes widened. “What? For her to match that, she’ll need to risk more than half of her company’s networth. Will she really be willing to do that?” William sat back on his leather seat, staring into the air as he took a sip of his whiskey. “Don’t worry. She will.” he said confidently. [Grey Industries]

    Over the next day, Scarlett struggled to make a decision. To outbid EdgeSpin, she would have to make a risky investment. She wasn’t sure if that was a risk she was meant to take. On the other hand, Asher Knight had offered her a golden opportunity. There were many companies who would fight to get the chance she had just been given. She had always wanted to make Grey Industries greater. Was she really going to just let this chance slip by? She was still in thought when her intercom buzzed and her secretary’s voice came through. “Ma’am there’s someone here to see you.” Scarlett frowned. She wasn’t expecting anyone. “Who is it?” she asked. “He says he’s the CEO of a company named EdgeSpin.” her secretary replied. Scarlett’s eyes widened. The CEO of Edgespin? Why did he want to see her? “Alright. You can let him in.” Some minutes later, her office door opened and a man in a grey suit stepped inside. Immediately she saw him, her expression turned sour. “You???” she blurt

    “We’re prepared to publicly announce the project.” Roland said as he walked into William’s office. William nodded. “Good. Make sure you spread the word that Knight Industries have already found a company that they are willing to partner with.” “I’m sure this will make Scarlett even more desperate to acquire the 30% stake in the project.” he said, branding a wicked smile. [ Grey Industries. ] “Ma’am, Project Contrl has been officially announced by Knight Industries.” Scarlett’s secretary informed her in her office. Scarlett smiled inwardly, she was sure that with her relationship with Asher Knight, he was surely going to choose Grey Industries as the official partner. “Have there been any information about the company they plan to award the 30% stake to?” she asked. “Yes, Ma’am.” her secretary replied. Scarlett smiled expecting the next name to come out of the secretary’s mouth to be Grey Industries. “It’s a company called EdgeSpin. I hear they are in advance talks t

    At 7:00 pm, a limo came to pick up Scarlett. She wore a striking red dress and red lipstick to match. Soon they arrived at the sea dock. She stepped out and immediately saw Asher Knight waiting for her. He looked effortlessly handsome in a dark navy suit, no tie, just the right hint of charm and mystery. Scarlett looked around confused . “I thought we were having dinner? I don’t think there are any restaurants around here.” “We are.” William said with a charming chuckle. “I wanted us to have a private dinner on my yacht.” Asher led her to his yacht where a romantic dinner setup was waiting for them. The floor was littered with beautiful roses, and lavender candles all over. Scarlett felt like a princess as he pulled her chair for her. “Isn’t this a bit too much for a first date?” she asked casually. “Well,” William said as he took his seat. “I have never brought any woman on my yacht before, you are a special woman and deserve a special first date.” Scarlett couldn’t h

    The conference hall of Skyline Center hummed with a quiet intensity. Crisp suits, sharp ties and the occasional glint of an expensive watch could be seen all around. The BusinessXperts Expo was were ideas turned into deals. One right handshake could secure a decade worth of fortune. Scarlett adjusted her blazer as she walked into the venue. She put on a cream coloured blouse and black trousers. Simple but sharp. After all, she knew she wasn’t even one of the big names there. Scarlett stepped into the main area. Dozens of booths from industry giants filled the room. The latest innovations in logistics, real estate, tech, AI and more were all around. Some of these innovations weren’t even accessible to the public yet. Eventually she found herself near a lounge area where she drank a glass of champagne as she glanced over some brochures. Just a few feet away from her, some men were discussing quietly, but not low enough for Scarlett not to hear their conversation. “Have you

    Scarlett walked into the Grey mansion with a wide grin on her face. She tossed her purse on the sofa and spun slightly. Her joy was so much that it couldn't be contained. “Guess who just closed a huge contract worth a billion with Knight Industries?” The room went still. Sophia who was lying down reading a magazine quickly stood up straight, nearly spilling the drink on the table. Her eyes widened with interest. “Wait..What? You met Asher Knight? Did he say anything about me?” Sophia asked with eagerness. Scarlett’s smile dropped into a look of dry amusement. She folded her arms, leaning against the doorway. “No. He didn’t mention you once.” Her tone was cool, but there was a sharp edge of satisfaction in it. “I’m not even sure he remembers you… other than the fact that you almost dragged him into a scandal.” Sophia’s face turned red with annoyance as she clenched her jaw tightly. Her nostrils flared up as she was ready to fire back a sharp insult, but a single glance from
