THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT

CHAPTER 9

“You think you stand up to me? My family can destroy you in the snap of a finger.”

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.”
