His gray hair was slicked back and his suit seemed tailored to accentuate his sturdy build. But despite his advanced age, there was an aura of power about him.The old man's eyes narrowed as he took a long drag on his cigarette, the smoke curling around his face like a veil. As he exhaled, the smoke seemed to dance in the air, as if obeying his unspoken command. Ansel didn't need someone to tell him that the man before him was the one and only level A ranker."I have heard a lot about you, Ansel. It's time we finally met. Make yourself comfortable." The man said without batting an eyelid, he concentrated so much on the cigarette stick that Ansel thought the man could die from one more drag.Ansel and Vinny exchanged glances, in return, Vinny gave him a reassuring look and gestured for him to have his seat.Emboldened by Vinny's calm behavior, Ansel sat down next to Vinny, facing the old man who was seated at a large desk in front of them.For the first time since they stepped foot i

"Angelina is mine!""No, she is mine, stupid!"Angelina's eyes widened in astonishment as the two men's conversation suddenly escalated into a heated argument.As a streamer, Angelina knew she had a certain appeal, but she never anticipated becoming the catalyst for a heated dispute between the two men.Her voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke, "I'll accept both gifts," They turned to look at her, their nostrils flaring due to anger.Both men had been asking her out on a date in the past, and she had tried refusing gifts from them both.However, recently, her family was in need of some money, and she figured out she could sell some of the gifts in order to generate some money."Will you be my girlfriend, Angelina? I love you so much. More than anyone in this room ever will. I am the only one worthy of your love and beauty. I am the richest guy in this room." One of the men declared proudly, he stretched forth his hand for Angelina to hold.As Angelina turned to face the seco

After logging out of his account, Ansel immediately dialed Anthony's number.He ordered him to bring his car to the Castillo mansion.Ansel abruptly ended the call before snatching a pen and ripping a sheet from a notebook.He immediately wrote some words down and folded it into a neat square.Ansel cast one last look at his phone before setting it down on the table and walking out of the room, making sure to leave the door unlocked behind him.He couldn't take a public phone to the Luther's villa.And so he decided to get a new phone which wasn't trackable.Ansel got to the living room, the housekeeper was still arranging the room."I need you to give this to my wife, tell her I won't stay too long." He handed the housekeeper the paper and then left without bothering to explain to the woman who had a confused expression on her face.It didn't take long for the car to arrive.Ansel opened the door of the backseat and sat down inside.The Luther's mansion was in another city and it wo

The following morning, Ansel returned to the Castillo group building without hesitation, having completed the task of delivering the drugs to Anthony.Ansel felt his eyes grow heavy, his lids fluttering as he surrendered to yet another yawn. The deep shuddering breaths that followed showed that his body was screaming for rest.The previous night's marathon session of concocting pain-relieving remedies had consumed him so completely that the concept of rest seemed like a distant memory.He was so bent on creating drugs for his little honeycomb that sleep vanished from his eyes.Ansel's body felt like it was on the verge of shattering into a thousand fragments, as if the sheer force of his exhaustion might splinter him into pieces at any moment.At one point, Ansel attempted to stretch his weary body, hoping to loosen the stiffness that had taken hold of his limbs, but no matter how hard he tried, his muscles remained stubbornly rigid.Some of the workers who were passing by gave him we

Ansel didn't bother because he was certain she'd be alone in the office at this hour. He knew her schedule all too well, and the familiarity gave him a sense of comfort"Don't come in_" Thora's warning died on her lips as she saw him standing there, her voice trapped in her throat like a caught breath.She clutched her shirt to her chest, her face burning with embarrassment as she turned to face the wall, trying to hide her disheveled state.Ansel had no reaction, he could only wonder why his wife was half naked.He searched everywhere to see if he would find another man but there was no one else in the office."Why are you naked, wifey?" Ansel asked as he took his seat.He found it cute that his wife was facing the wall and trying her best not to look at him.Ansel chuckled lightly and Thora seemed to find it annoying.She frowned deeply and then hissed.The only reason why she was naked was because her top got stained with coffee and she was just about to change into a different one
