THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT Chapter 1
William received a hard slap across his face. “Why are my clothes not ironed?” Damon barked angrily. “You never asked me to iron your clothes, Master Damon.” William explained trying to hide the pain he felt from the slap. “What? are you calling me a liar?” Damon angrily slammed his fist against his face. The punch sent William to the floor, blood dripping from his cut lip. Damon’s arms were huge and well built. He was a professional boxer and the best in Crenshaw city, so getting punched by him felt like being hit with a hard brick. Damon had forgotten to tell William to iron his clothes, but he was going to punish him regardless. William quickly went to his knees. “I’m sorry Master Damon. Forgive my forgetfulness.” Damon wasn’t having his apology and kicked him across the face inflicting another injury. “You’re more useless than a pig. I always feel bad for my sister who had to marry a piece of shit like you.” William quickly crawled back to his feet. “I will iron clothes r

“Grandfather Richard has passed away!” Scarlett had just received news that her Grandfather and head of the Grey empire, Richard Grey had passed away. Although the headquarters of most of the Grey’s businesses including Grey Industries were in Crenshaw city where the family stayed, Richard Grey lived in Greenville city. The lawyer had asked the family to come over to discuss the sharing of the inheritance. Scarlett was positive that she was going to be made the next Chairman of Grey Industries which was worth 10 billion dollars. ********* William packed their bags as they prepared to leave for Greenville city. The Grey family didn’t fly in commercial airplanes. They had their own private plane. While the Grey family flew like kings and queens, William wasn’t allowed to stay with them in the main quarters. He had to sit on the ground in a small corner next to the restroom. Soon, they arrived at Richard Grey’s mansion in Greenville city. The mansion was exquisite

The smell of smoke brought William back to consciousness.His body ached as he struggled to get back up to his feet. The sound of sparks from damaged electrical parts could be heard all over the plane.They had crashed. Both of the plane’s wings had been badly damaged on impact, so there was no hope of it flying again.Damon and Fiona were still unconscious while Scarlett and Sophia were just waking up as well.William heard what sounded like waves nearby. Looking outside the window, he noticed that they had crashed on an island.Considering the condition of their plane, it was a miracle that they had even survived.Panic crawled into Scarlett’s voice as she looked around. “What happened?” “The plane crashed.” William explained.“Crashed?! Oh my goodness! Where is the pilot?” Sophia exclaimed as she held her head. She had sustained a slight injury from the crash.Sophia and Scarlett tried to bring back Damon and Fiona back to consciousness while William moved towards the cockpit to

William ran back quickly as he was excited that he had successfully reached the rescue team before the radio battery died. When he arrived back at the shore, he was shocked to see the helicopter flying away. He jumped around like a mad man trying to get their attention, but they were far gone and couldn’t see him. He couldn’t believe he was left behind. His legs became weak and he dropped to his knees in despair “No…No…please come back” Since the response team believed they had rescued everyone, no one was coming back for him. People would think he died in the crash. Tears ran down his face as he clenched his fists in anger. He knew Scarlett and the others had purposely left him behind. He pounded his fist on the ground. “I am going to survive this and return to make them pay!” William spent the next six months on the island struggling to stay alive. There were times he came across highly venomous snakes and barely survived. Some days he went completely hungry. Wi

“You must join the Legolas army.”William gulped hard. Could he really be part of such a ruthless army?However, he had no choice, it was either that or death.[ 3 YEARS LATER] “Mother I’ve heard some interesting news!” Scarlett said happily as she walked into the Grey mansion.Fiona’s eyes widened curiously. “What’s the big news?”“I heard Knight industries is setting up in Crenshaw city. They are planning on making some big events and are looking for companies to partner with.” Scarlett explained.Fiona was excited about the news. “Knight Industries is worth over 10 trillion dollars. If we are lucky enough to get a business contract with them, we could make over ten times what we are making now.”“I heard the owner Asher Knight is also a young man. It is surprising that a such a young person could own such a large company like Knight Industries” Chloe chimed in.“Yes. I heard that too. He is very private and very few people have seen him.” Scarlett replied.Chloe played with her ha
THE RISE OF THE INCREDIBLE ASHER KNIGHT CHAPTER 6
Ryan laughed. “A dog like you can’t do anything. You had better scurry away out of here before I beat you to a pulp.” At this point, people’s attention was drawn to the scene that was going on and people were gathering around. Drawn by the attention, the manager came out to see what was going on. The Manager, George, had run the Elite Gym for a long time. He was a former heavyweight boxing champion. He had the build of a gorilla and could knock out opponents with a single punch. Roland had informed him that Asher Knight was going to be joining his gym, but he had no idea when he was going to come or what he looked like so he didn't know that William was Asher Knight. “What’s going on here?” He asked, noticing the face-off between William and Ryan. Ryan turned to the manager pointing his finger at William. “This piece of thrash snuck into this gym. He is just a servant for the Grey family.” George turned towards William. William didn't look like someone who was a servant. Wi

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 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 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. H

“Master, Franklin Seth has invited you to the Cedarwood Gala holding tonight.” Roland said as he landed William an invite. Franklin Seth was the chairman of Seth Industries. They were arguably one of the top companies in Crenshaw city. He had heard that Asher Knight was in Crenshaw city and was looking to expand his business. He saw this as an opportunity to gain his favour. “Are you going to be attending?” William already knew about Seth Industries and was already planning to do business with them. Since they had reached out to him first, he decided that he would honour their invitation. ********** “You got an invite to the Cedarwood Gala?” Sophia was surprised when her friend Jade informed her she would be attending the Gala. Jade smiled proudly. “Yes. My boyfriend is taking me as his plus one.” “I'm so jealous. It's so difficult to get an invite to the Cedarwood Gala. I couldn't even get one.” Sophia said. “I even heard a rumour that the Incredible Asher Knight will be

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 bab
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
CHAPTER 33
Sophia paced around her room impatiently. She clenched her phone so tightly that her knuckles went white. Media outlets had already published articles about how she admitted that Martha was a better actress than her. A knock sounded on the door. “Come in.” she snapped. A slim man wearing glasses walked into the room hesitantly. “Miss Sophia” he greeted cautiously. “Did you get what I asked?” Sophia demanded. The man nodded. “Yes, but Miss Sophia, are you sure about this? If this goes wrong…” Sophia cut him off. “Listen, your job isn't to question me. You do what I pay you for and shut up.” The man handed a tablet over to her. She smiled wickedly as she scrolled through. “Yes. This is very good.” Sophia picked up her phone and anonymously messaged the top gossip reporters in Crenshaw city. "I have a juicy story for you all. A rising actress who isn’t as innocent as she pretends to be. Interested?" Within seconds, replies flooded in. "Depends on what you have."
CHAPTER 32
Sophia turned sharply at the sound of the familiar voice. "William?" her eyes widened in shock. William stood there with his hands in his pocket. "That’s right. I made sure the award wouldn’t be given to a cheater like you." He said calmly. Sophia let out a mocking laugh. “You? Who do you think you are to influence the judges?” William stepped forward, closing the space between them. “Oh. Why don't you tell her?” he said, turning his attention to the judge. The judge hesitated before speaking. “The committee was persuaded to do the right thing.” Sophia raised an eyebrow. “Persuaded? That doesn't answer my question!” William chuckled, shaking his head. "You bribed them. I simply reminded them what would happen if they accepted dirty money." Sophia twitched, but quickly scoffed trying to sound composed. “I don't know what you are talking about.” William folded his hands across his chest. “Oh really?” He pulled out his phone and sent something to Sophia. “Check y
CHAPTER 31
Humiliated, Sophia ran out of the room. Michael was speechless as he watched the scene. He looked at Martha a bit surprised. “Wow… I didn’t see that coming.” Martha shrugged. “She needed someone to teach her a lesson and I'm glad I did." All attempts by Fiona and Sophia to sabotage the move failed. Production was completed and it ended up being a huge blockbuster. It also cemented Martha's place as an A-list actress. Soon it was time for the Emerald Acting Awards, and Sophia saw it as an opportunity to get back at Michael and Martha. The Emerald Awards were the pinnacle of recognition in the film industry. Every year, the best actors and actresses came together waiting to see who would walk away with the prestigious awards. For Sophia, this was going to be her night. She had already boasted to everyone that she was going to win the Best Actress award. She had made sure to bribe the judges to vote in her favour. Sophia walked onto the red carpet wearing a flashy
