ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Don't do it, Amelia.
"Deal or no deal?" Amelia heard Ray's words and sat still, deep in thought. She was considering whether to move forward with the deal or not. Ray and his people had successfully gotten to the golden flower location the last time they tried but Amelia's hired men were murdered in cold blood.They didn't even get the chance to get to the top of the Blue moon mountain.Mark's antique shop was also on the line. Amelia breathed in and out, she wasn't going to give up so easily.Amelia knew that if she succeeded in this mission, the Caspian family would be forced to leave the city for good, bringing an end to the longstanding feud between the two families. Amelia turned to look at Ansel. Even though she wasn't familiar with the crescent seeds, she knew that Ansel was a healer and might have some knowledge about them. But before she could have the chance to ask him, she saw Ansel talk to the two men with a serious face."Did you just say the Crescent seeds?" Ansel asked, his eyes showing
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Sweet offers
"Miss, you don't understand what I'm feeling! I'm about to lose my store because of you!" Mark spat out venomously.Sighing, Amelia gritted her teeth. Even she had never expected them to demand for the antique store.It was something that she never saw coming.At this point, she wished she could unsign the contract.Amelia understood why Mark was acting like that. However, she was an investor too, so she knew that she would be just as affected by the deal."Mark, if you don't want to help me then it's fine. I will also stop investing in this store and take back all that I have given to you." Amelia said coldly, there was no emotion on her face.Mark shivered slightly, her words sounded like a threat to him.If she stopped investing in his shop then it meant that the store wouldn't exist in her absence.Mark had no choice but to agree to whatever she said. He felt thousands of needles pricking his lips as he opened them to speak.With no other choice, he said quietly. "I'll join you i
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Killed with one single move
"That's a beast!" Mark, who had never expected to see a strange looking creature in their midst, jumped in fear.Amelia and Ansel also saw the huge beast.Its fangs were super long and it was obvious that it wasn't in their midst to play.This wasn't the first time Amelia was seeing the strange creature, it was even more powerful than it looked.The last time they went on a mission to the blue moon mountain, just a single one of these had killed hundreds of the hired men.How did she escape at that time?Amelia didn't know, but all she knew right now was that she wouldn't let the beast get closer to her friends."Keep quiet guys" Amelia whispered softly, the beast with three eyes was blind and couldn't see.It could only use his sense of smell and that was why Amelia had designed the special suits for them to wear.It was supposed to mask their smell but how did the beast find them?Ansel stared at the beast strangely, he had never seen something like that before.The beast growled lo
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER It's a deadly beast: The Kumura
Amelia exchanged glances with Mark. It was obvious that they both had the same questions on their mind."Master Ansel, are you okay?" Mark asked with concern laced in his voice.He had just seen Ansel slaughter a beast like it was nothing.Was this really possible?"I'm as good as new, it is a pretty weak beast and I'm sure anyone could have killed it." Ansel saw them look at him expectantly and he knew he had to give them an explanation.'Did Ansel just call a strong beast weak?' Amelia's jaw dropped, she knew that beast wasn't as weak as Ansel made it seem.One of these beasts had killed over a hundred men in her presence.That was one of the reasons why she came with just Ansel and Mark.But unfortunately, the beast still noticed their presence.The blue moon mountain was in the extreme end of the city and not many people could enter the forest and come back alive.A light of hope flashed before her eyes and she calmed down a little."It's called a kumura. You did a good job by kil
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Dangerous Crocs
At that moment, Amelia noticed that something was off, she turned to look at her side.Mark stood so close to her, his body shaking as they moved past the trees in the forest."Ansel," Amelia said in a soft tone.She quickly spun around, only to discover Ansel was nowhere to be seen. Her heart skipped a beat as fear rushed through her body. Mark, who was too scared to even notice, also became aware."Brother Ansel" Mark called out, his heart shook dangerously when he thought that the kumara must have killed Ansel for revenge."Let's go look for him" Amelia ordered and began walking back to the place they saw him last.Mark didn't want Amelia to get into trouble, she was the only one he knew in the forest and if something bad happens to Amelia then he wouldn't know how to leave the forest alive.He immediately gripped Amelia by the wrist, shaking his head in fear. "Please let's not go back. I'm sure the Kumuras must have gotten him. If we go back there then they will attackl us too."
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The top of the blue moon mountain
"Oh no no no" Ansel said through gritted teeth, he was now out of danger but they weren't.The crocodiles didn't seem like they would let them get to the other side freely either.Ansel's expression changed from hope to disgust, his brows furrowing as he realized that he was the only one armed with a sword. As Ansel's mind raced, trying to think of a plan, Amelia's swift action caught his attention. She moved with the grace of a warrior, each kick driving the crocodiles away from her and Mark with a fierce intensity.Stunned, Ansel couldn't move for a moment.He didn't expect Amelia to be that strong.Soon the two were able to make it.Mark, who didn't do as much as raising up his hands to defend himself, was panting like he had run a thousand meter race."You did a good job" Ansel praised her with a smile and then he turned his attention to Mark and said with a mocking smile. "I didn't expect a woman to be stronger than you." Mark coughed out violently, his eyes turning red.He was
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A worthless piece of scum
"What did you say kid? This flower is about to come to life." When botanist Johnson heard what Ansel said, he couldn't help but snap at the young man.How dare he challenge his expertise?Ansel ignored and kept quiet, he wanted to see what else botanist Johnson had up his sleeves."It's gonna come back to life any minute from now" Botanist Johnson said with a nervous laugh.His confidence level dropped to a zero when he noticed the flowers slump down in defeat.Botanist Johnson struggled to maintain his steeze as the flower turned an even darker shade, his professional demeanor faltered in that instant.But how was this possible?He was sure about all the research he had done.The experiments he did before they arrived at the mountain showed that it would work."What seems to be the problem?" Dave asked as he noticed the difference.He wasn't the only one who had noticed the difference, everyone did."I don't know what went wrong. I did everything right." Botanist Johnson said in a l
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The Golden flower is brought back to life
Suddenly, a swarm of golden fireflies descended upon the dying flower like a celestial army and their ethereal light casted a soft glow upon the wilting petals. The flower's transformation was nothing short of miraculous.Ansel held his breath as he waited for something to happen.The golden flower should have been showing a very bright yellow but its color was still faint."Don't get too hopeful, the fireflies must have come to witness your failure." Ray said with a grin.He enjoyed making fun of Ansel and wasn't considering stopping."Oh wow, this is beautiful""Oh my god, look at that." "I want to scream out loud""The golden flower is indeed beautiful" Ray sorted in disgust as he heard his men whisper amongst themselves.When his gaze fell on the golden flower, he felt several needles prick his eyes.Was this even real?The golden flower was now standing straight with a strong glow.No wonder it was called the golden flower, it emitted a beautiful golden hue.Ansel smiled proud

"Have you forgotten the past so soon?"
"Father-in-law Luther," the older man’s voice cracked. He stood a few feet away with his shoulders slouched, looking smaller than anyone had ever seen him. "I wish... I wish I could bring her back, I really do. But I can’t. I know that now. It's all my fault and i apologize for my past mistakes." His eyes darted from grandfather Luther to Ansel. "Please, just let me prove I’m sorry. I want to be part of this family again. We need to live together as one. I want to be with my children again."The memories came flooding back for him. He remembered the day he had pushed his family out, standing there with his new wife and acting like he had won. He had believed he had everything under control, that with Ansel’s mother’s wealth, he could live a life of luxury. It was only now that he realized how much he had truly lost.If he had been patient enough, he would have gotten to find out that grandfather was a rich man. Even the car behind grandfather cost almost a hundred million dollars.M
Sobs
Ansel stepped out of the courthouse, the cool breeze of early morning ruffling his hair. The property that rightfully belonged to his mother was finally his again.He could still hear the judge’s voice echoing in his head in a calm but authoritative tone, “The court rules in favor of Ansel Luther, granting him full ownership of the property.”His lawyer had done exactly what Ansel had hired him for. No surprises there. With a lawyer of his caliber, victories like this were highly expected.But the image that stuck with Ansel the most was his stepmother’s face as the verdict was announced. She had fought hard to keep what didn’t belong to her, using every underhanded trick in the book, but now it was over.Another thing that was satisfying, though, was watching his father and stepmother's faces as reality hit them.As Ansel approached the garage, a sly grin tugged at the corner of his lips. He could still see the look of shock and outrage on his father’s face, too. His father's su
Courtroom
The morning sun passed through the tall windows of the courthouse, casting long shadows across the polished floor.Ansel stepped through the door, his polished shoes clicking softly as he walked down the aisle toward the front of the courtroom. He had chosen his outfit carefully, a tailored suit, crisp white shirt, and a dark tie that made him look every bit the man he had grown to become.As soon as he entered, heads turned, including those of his father and stepmother, who were seated across the room.His stepmother's brows furrowed when she saw him, her lips pursing in disapproval. Ansel didn’t acknowledge them. Instead, he walked toward the plaintiff’s seat with a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. The kind of smirk that said he had been waiting for this moment. His father, seated a few rows behind the defense table, leaned over to whisper something to his wife. He noticed how his stepmother hissed under her breath, clearly displeased.‘They think I spent my last
Kool Kat Klub
In front of the bar, two bulky bodyguards stood with arms crossed, their eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of trouble. The KKK(Kool kat Klub) Bar had a reputation, and they were there to make sure the wrong kind of people didn’t get in without paying for access.Ansel walked up to the door, handed one of the guards a few bills, and received a curt nod in return. They stepped aside, letting him through without a word. He pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside.The place was exactly as it was rumoured to be. The lights were dim, casting a reddish glow over the room.Music pumped through the speakers, loud enough to make his chest vibrate. Girls in skimpy outfits danced on platforms, their movements drawing the attention of the men partying below with drinks in hand and their laughter filling the air.Ansel wasn’t here for the party. He was here for Kael.He scanned the room, his eyes moving quickly from face to face. Kael had a habit of showing up in his bar.Ansel came pre
Kael’s illegal operations
The group of men rounded the corner, dragging a bulky, heavy-looking bag between them.Ansel’s instincts kicked in the moment he caught sight of them. The stench of powder still lingered in the air from earlier, and it wasn’t hard to piece it all together. This wasn’t cleaning equipment…it was something far more sinister.The men faltered when they saw him and the guy he’d pinned just moments ago, still on his knees and visibly rattled. Their steps slowed, unsure of what they’d just walked into.Ansel loosened his grip on the man he was holding and pushed him aside, stepping forward toward the group. His eyes flicked to the bag they were carrying.“What’s in the bag?” His voice was steady, calm, but his gaze locked onto their faces, looking for any hint of a lie.The man on the floor stammered again, “It’s… it’s just cleaning stuff, I swear.”Ansel sneered, his patience wearing thin. He wasn’t in the mood for more nonsense. He moved closer, his presence alone enough to make them twitc
Visiting the warehouse
★★★On their way back, they passed by the MPK building, its towering structure silhouetted against the darkening sky.The government rewards were secured in his bag. Most notably, the key to the advanced medical equipment he had been given. Ansel leaned back in the car seat, his eyes distant as he recalled his stepmother’s chilling words about his sister.He clenched his fists. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. There were more pressing matters at hand.“Anthony,” Ansel said, his voice breaking the silence, “Take me to Grove Street. I need to check on something at the warehouse.”Anthony glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “Are you sure? It’s pretty late.”Ansel nodded, his gaze still fixed out the window. “I won’t be long. Just need to make sure everything’s in place.”It was already late at night, and the streets were quiet. The city’s usual noise had died down, and the dim street lights cast long shadows on the empty roads. They made their way through the dark streets
He has changed.
Ansel’s father’s mocking words echoed in his mind, pulling him into old wounds, but the sharp sound of heels hitting the cold marble floor snapped him out of it. He didn’t need to look up to know who was approaching—his stepmother’s presence was always announced by the clinking of her flashy jewelry.She strode into the room with her head held high, diamonds glinting at her neck, wrists, and ears. Ansel didn’t move. His face hardened as she came closer.“Well, well,” she said with a voice laced with false sweetness. “Look who’s back. Here to ask for money again, Ansel?”Ansel slowly looked her over, a cold sneer twisting his lips. His eyes locked on the woman who had torn his family apart so many years ago, the woman who had driven a wedge between his parents, ultimately destroying the family. He felt that familiar surge of anger rising, but he kept his voice level.“Keep. My. Name. Out. Of. Your. Mouth,” he said sharply, his words cutting through the air.His stepmother didn’t flinch
Two impossible options
Ansel checked the time on his watch. Two hours until the office closed, and the medical department was peaceful. No patients needed attention.At the end of the street, Anthony waited in the car. Ansel's expression was tight, and Anthony noticed that the young master didn't seem to be in a good mood today.He climbed into the car, shutting the door a bit harder than necessary."Is everything alright, Young master Ansel?" Anthony asked, glancing at Ansel in the rearview mirror.Ansel shook his head. The message from his assistant was still flashing before his eyes. His father, who had abandoned him and his mother years ago, was planning to sell her company. The same company he had taken from her before she passed away.Ansel could hardly believe that his father would dare to do that.But what was he expecting from a man who resulted in dirty tricks to get what he wanted?Anger boiled in Ansel's chest. He suddenly remembered his mother's tears, her desperation as his father's underhande
When things get heated
“Divorce?” Thora’s voice dripped with disbelief. “Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?”Claire’s nostrils flared as anger surged through her, and in a swift motion, she grabbed the glass cup sitting on the table and slammed it down. The glass shattered against the floor with a loud crash, shards scattering everywhere. It wasn’t until she heard the satisfying sound of the glass breaking that her anger felt even remotely manageable. She turned back toward Ansel, a sneer on her face, and then shifted her glare toward Thora.“I’m not blind. I can see clearly that he’s nothing but a stain on our family!” Claire spat out."Our family?" Thora corrected calmly.The sight of the broken shards of glass scattered on the floor infuriated her but she managed to maintain her cool."You can leave my office now, Claire. I have important matters to attend to."Claire felt like she had just heard the most insulting words of her life.She stammered as she tried to come up with a reply."Are
