William ran back as 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. William was taking a nap when he felt something on his head. He snapped his eyes open to see a dangerous looking man pointing a rifle at his skull. Looking around, they were men dressed in uniform all around him. They were soldiers of the Legolas Army. “Pick him up!” William was dragged to their commander in chief, General Ryker. General Ryker was huge. He was around 6 foot three in height. He had a grey moustache and a scruffy beard. He had the reputation of the most feared and merciless men in the Legolas Army. “Sir we found this man camped nearby. He must be a spy.” one of the officers informed the general. The Legolas army had recently received information that some enemy spies were trying to infiltrate their ranks. Unfortunately for William, they had found him on the island which was one of their training locations. William’s throat tightened. Who were these people? Why did they say he was a spy? The General took a hard look at William. “Torture him till he confesses who he works for.” “Please” his voice broke. “I'm not a spy. I swear…” One of the soldiers gave William a hard punch to the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground groaning in pain. They picked him up and tied him to a tree. For the next three days he went without food and water. The nights were extremely cold and while the soldiers slept close to a fire, he had to stay there stuck to the tree. After the three days had passed, the general returned for William’s confession. “Are you ready to finally say the truth, what army do you belong to?” He questioned. William felt very weak. Days of hunger and thirst had taken a toll on him. His lips had dried up but he still managed to speak. “I swear… I don't belong to any army. I-I just got stranded here by chance.” The general’s face twisted with anger. “I can see you are a stubborn one. Bring the branding iron!” One of the soldiers returned with an iron rod. They had left it in a fire until it had become red hot. William’s face went pale when he saw one of the soldiers coming towards him with the rod. He struggled to free himself from the ropes but it was no use. William’s voice trembled with fear. “What…What are you planning to do with that?” “Ahhhh!!!!!!.......Ahhhh….!!!!” William screamed in pain as the iron was pressed into his skin, burning his flesh. “Please! Ahhhh!!! I'm not a spy!” He continued to plead as his skin sizzled. The general realizing William adamant about not being a spy asked them to stop. “Enough.” “Fine. If you're not a spy. Tell me in detail how you got here. If I sense a lie in your story, you will suffer unimaginable pain before I finally kill you.” William told the general everything that happened to him including the inheritance and how he was stranded on the island. “Cut him loose.” The general ordered, he seemed to have believed William’s story. William tried to stand but quickly fell to the ground. All the energy had left his body. The general stroke his beard as he thought of what to do. “The rule states that anyone who is not a member of the Legolas army found here must be killed.” William heart sank. “Please have mercy! I don't want to die. Not until I have gotten my revenge.” A serious expression formed on General Ryker’s face. “There is only one way out for you.” William’s voice cracked with desperation. “What do I need to do?”

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.

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 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.

“Everyone, I have some interesting news.” Scarlett said as she walked into the living room.“I think I’ve found a way for us to secure a meeting with Asher Knight.”“Really what is it?” Sophia asked with growing excitement.Scarlett sat down on the sofa opposite Fiona. “I heard from Franklin Seth who just secured a deal with Knight Industries that Asher Knight is interested in a painting by the artist Ricardo.”Sophia had a confused look on her face.“Okay. What does that mean?”“He said if we are able to get it and deliver it as a gift, we could maybe secure a meeting with him.” Scarlett explained.Fiona sat up. “But won’t other businesses know about it and try to get the painting as well?”“Franklin Seth said he hasn’t told anyone else about it and will be willing to keep it a secret.” Scarlett told her.A smile formed on Fiona’s face. “If that is true we can’t afford to meet this chance.”Scarlett felt really excited.

Scarlett clenched her fists. What game was William playing? How could someone like him have $100,000? She wasn't planning to spend more than $70,000 on the painting but now William had raised the bid to $100,000. Scarlett bit her lip. She had to get this painting to gain Asher Knight’s favour. “105,000 dollars.” William smiled. He knew Scarlett was stubborn and this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted her to go in a bidding war with him. “$120,000.” William called out. Scarlett frowned. “$130,000!” William put in another bid. “$250,000” Everyone gasped in astonishment. Who exactly was this man going toe to toe with Scarlett Grey? Scarlett couldn't believe what she was hearing. William had nearly doubled her bid. However, this was her golden chance to meet Asher Knight. She couldn't let it go. She called out another bid. “$300,000” The auctioneer couldn't believe his ears. A sale of $50,000 would have been a good sale but $300,000? That was outrageous! William smirked.
