William knew about the Dunn family. Their Chairman of the Dunn family had been calling him relentlessly trying to set up a meeting ever since he landed in Crenshaw city. The Dunn family business was worth 100 billion dollars which was still nothing compared to what Knight Industries was worth. One of the subsidiaries of Knight Industries was responsible for supplying construction materials for Dunn Industries. They were extremely desperate to get into more business with Knight Industries. “Like I said, This is my seat.” William repeated calmly. James gave him a hard slap across his face causing a satisfied smile formed on Jade’s lips. “This is a VIP Area. That seat is reserved for Asher Knight. The CEO of Knight Industries. Why would a poor nobody like you be in his seat?” James gestured to the security guards nearby.“Security throw this imposter out of here!” Just then, Franklin Seth arrived at the scene wondering what was going on. He recognized James but also didn't recognize Asher Knight as he didn't know what he looked like. “What's happening here?” Franklin asked James. “Mr. Seth, I'm glad you're here. This imposter is claiming to be Asher Knight. He's definitely not Asher Knight, he's just a servant of the Grey family.” James said impatiently. Franklin looked at William who was still being held by James. He took a look at his suit and watch and could tell that no ordinary person could afford such clothing. William turned to Franklin Seth speaking calmly. “Mr Franklin. Is this how you allow your guests to be treated? I'm not sure i can do business with you.” Franklin Seth's's heart sank. Was this man really Asher Knight? “Let him go now.” He instructed James. James raised his eyebrow. “What?” “I said let him go.” Franklin Seth repeated sternly. James reluctantly let go of his collar. He didn't want to offend him as he was good friends with his father. “I can assure you this is not Asher Knight. He is just a nobody who can't even afford my dog's food.” Jade said confidently. “That's for me to decide.” Franklin said before turning back to William. “Mr. Knight, could you please show me your invite?” “No.” William replied almost immediately. Franklin Seth was surprised by his response. Jade scoffed. “I told you he was an imposter, he doesn't have an invite!” Ignoring her, William addressed Franklin Seth. “If you invited me to your Gala, shouldn't you have gone through the trouble of finding what I look like?” William sat comfortably on his seat. “You have two options, you can listen to them and kick me out or you can let me remain here. The choice is yours” Franklin Seth was amazed at His confidence. Surely this man had to be Asher Knight. He spoke with so much aura and confidence. If he wasn’t Asher Knight, he didn't have much to lose, he would simply kick him out if the real Asher Knight showed up. “Apologies for not recognising you sir.” Franklin said with a bowed head. James fumed with anger. “What? you are letting this piece of thrash stay?” William smiled. It would seem Franklin Seth had some sense. He turned to James with a hardened gaze. “As for you, I promised you, you'll regret putting your hands on me. You said you could destroy me with the snap of your finger but I'll show you what real power looks like.” William put in a call to Roland. “James Dunn insulted me publicly. Inform the Dunn family that we will not be doing any business with them.” “Not only will we not be doing business with them, we are cutting off their access to construction materials.” James scoffed. “You think your acting can scare me?” Just then his phone rang. It was Michael Dunn, the chairman and James' father. “You fool! What have you done? Who did you offend? You've ruined us!” James's heart skipped a beat. He had never heard his father so distressed before. “F-Father, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything.” “I just got a call saying you disrespected the Master of Knight Industries and now our material supply has been cut off. We are going to go bankrupt!” his father yelled angrily. James' hand was shaking as he held his phone. How did William have the power to make that happen? “You must have just gotten the news.” William said confidently. James turned angrily and gave Jade a slap. “You fool. You've ruined me. You told me he wasn't Asher Knight.” Jade couldn't understand what was going on. “What?.....he isn’t..” James quickly bowed his head. “Please forgive my foolishness.” William smiled "I will forgive you on one condition." William turned to Jade. “You called me a dog, now both of you are going to become dogs today.”

William instantly recognized him. “You…You are…" “Yes. I'm the man you spared two years ago. My name is Roland.” He responded. William took a step back, a bit suspicious of his sudden appearance. “Why are you here?” “To pay you back for your help.” Roland replied. William's eyes narrowed. “Pay me back? How?” “I have gained a particular set of skills that would help you greatly. I can hack into almost any system in the world and build high tech programs” Roland continued. “I've researched you and I know you have a vendetta against the Grey family. I'd like to help you in your mission.” William raised his eyebrow. “How can I trust you?” Roland's expression turned serious. “Although I am eternally grateful that you saved my life, I also need your help with something else.” William's voice lowered. “What would that be?” Roland's gaze flickered to the ground before meeting William again. “You were able to leave the Legolas army. I want you to help me get my sister out
CHAPTER 38 [ NATASHA AND ROLAND : ORIGIN STORY]
[ 3 years ago, Legolas Army base] The soldiers gathered around for a briefing on their next mission. William was among those chosen for the expedition. It was his first official mission as a member of the Legolas army. General Ryker stood in front of them communicating his orders. “We've been contracted to eliminate a war criminal known as Robinson Tradwell.” Since the Legolas army was a private army, they weren't interested in the details of what their employers wanted as long as they got paid. Ryker pulled up a map on the large screen behind them. “The Intel reaching us is that he and his men are trying to escape and are currently in the Rhunakis desert.” “Remember, this is a clean mission, and there must be no witnesses. We move in and we take out the target. Is that understood?” “Sir, yes sir!” The soldiers roared in unison. The team of six including the general set out in their chopper at night. As they flew nearer to the drop point, William grew increasingly nervous.
CHAPTER 37
William's car engine roared as he drove into the parking lot of his penthouse apartment. He was quickly met by Roland who was waiting just outside. “Where is she?” William asked impatiently. "She's in the living room waiting for you." Roland responded. William sighed. “Okay. Did she by any chance see Martha? I don't want her dragged into this in any way.” "No. I told Miss Martha to stay in as you're having a very important meeting." Roland responded. "Good." William and Natasha knew each other from his time in the Legolas army. Natasha was one of General Ryker's most trusted intelligence operatives. However, this visit wasn't about old memories. The general had sent her for a reason. Natasha sat with her feet crossed having a drink when William walked into the room. “William! It's been too long. The general sends his regards.” she said with a light tone. William smiled. “It's not even been up to a year. Did you miss me that much?” “Let me guess. He wants you to
CHAPTER 36
William swallowed hard. Was she on to him? He slowly turned around trying to keep a composed face. “What do you mean?” Sophia narrowed her eyes as she walked closer to him. “It's your glasses." she said as she tilted her head. "I thought they used to be round? You've always worn round glasses.” William stomach tightened. He had put on his special glasses for recording and forgot that Leblanc didn't wear square shaped glasses. “Oh.” William chuckled nervously rubbing the back of his neck “Just wanted to try something different.” Sophia stared for a second longer before shrugging lazily. “Hmmm…Alright. You may leave.” She said dismissively before returning back to her phone. William exhaled sharply the moment he stepped out. Next, he had to figure out the perfect way to expose the video of Sophia confessing. Sophia's birthday was coming up and she always loved to throw big parties where she would host popular names from all over. William decided that that would be t
CHAPTER 35
“Yes.” William replied. “ His name is Leblanc. He works for the Grey family, and there's no way he's going to admit that Sophia sent him, he's way too loyal.” “So how do we prove that this was Sophia's doing?” Roland asked. William's voice lowered. Is Project Chameleon finally ready for launch? Roland's eyes widened. “You mean….” A wicked smirk formed on William's lips. “Yes, I'm going to beat Sophia at her own game.” Project Chameleon was a secret high tech project being carried out by Knight Industries. They had been working on a highly sophisticated AI mask that made it possible for the wearer to assume any face they wanted. It even had the ability to change the voice of the person who was wearing it. William had been planning to use it for something else, but because of this, he was going to use it early. “So you're going to act as Leblanc?” Roland asked. “Yes. I'm going to trick Sophia into confessing that she was responsible for those images.” William replied.
CHAPTER 34
“I promise I'm going to get to the bottom of this and if it turns out to be Sophia, I'm going to make sure to expose her for everyone to see.” William assured Martha. “Call Roland,” William said, giving an audio command to his phone. The phone rang once before Roland answered. “Hello sir.” “Roland. I need you to analyze the photos of Martha and Michael. Find out who created them.” “Yes sir. I'll get right on it.” Martha glanced at William with uncertainty. “Where are we going?” “I'm talking you to my place. You can lay low there for now, at least until we can take care of this.” Soon they arrived at William's penthouse apartment. He led the way inside, looking around to make sure none of the reporters had followed them. William escorted her into one of the guest rooms. “You can stay here. No one will disturb you. I'll be in the other room if you need me.” “Thank you so much.” Martha said softly. About an hour later, Roland returned with news about the images. He
