ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Heart doctor
"What are you talking about young man?" Master Crowley joined them in the conversation, he didn't understand what Ansel was saying."Yours is more serious even though you should have a stronger system than a child. It is going for your heart Delilah." Ansel said, as if he was in a trance.Soon he got back to his senses and stared at them, his hands were placed on his bag, just in case there was an emergency."Master Crowley, Ansel said Delilah has been poisoned. That's a big joke." This time around, Felix wasn't the one who spoke, it was Kingsley.His words dripped with mockery and both Kingsley and Felix burst into a round of laughter."What are you talking about? C'mon, let's leave." Amelia whispered into Ansel's ears but he nodded slowly."5""4""3""2"Delilah was about to open her mouth to speak when she felt her body shaking violently, she tried controlling herself but she couldn't.Then, she felt a stabbing pain in her chest, her hands instinctively flew to her chest, grippi
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Not much Qi was left
By the time got back to his suite, it had already gotten late and the sun was starting to set.Ansel pushed the door gently open, his hand still placed on the door knob.After all the excitement of treating Delilah and navigating the social scene at the event, Ansel felt like he'd been low on energy.He could feel his Qi reserves running low after expending so much of his energy to help her, and his body was begging for a break.A soft bed and a good night's sleep sounded like a godsend, a chance to recharge his Qi and recover.His gaze traveled down to the card in his hand, he knew he needed to keep it in a safe place and so he quickly copied the valuable information and saved it on his phone.Just in case he were to lose it, he would be able to get some of master Crowley's details on his phone.Ansel proceeded to walk into his room but he caught a glimpse of Samantha coming out with a wet towel.The towel highlighted her features and her curves were visible, her hourglass figure was
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The commotion
Ansel didn't tell Samantha of the real reason why he was going to the toy store.He didn't want to ruin the surprise.After hearing Samantha confess that she didn't have a boyfriend.He decided to get her some plush toys for her birthday.Ansel had seen her birthdate in the office and today was her birthday.He wondered why she had kept it a secret from everyone.However, he decided he was going to give her the Mr Goldy fish plush toys. Her room was filled with a collection of Mr Goldy fish and he was able to easily guess that it was her favorite.Ansel had already gotten close to the store, it was not far from the suite and so he didn't bother calling his driver.Ansel was just about to walk into the store when he caught sight of a crowd forming around a parked car, completely blocking traffic. Pedestrians began to gather, ogling and gawking at the spectacle while the cars behind started to honk and complain. He wanted to ignore it but when he saw the crowd increase, he squinted his
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER He is a top healer
Doctor Lancelot was the one who led the way. He was a doctor but still he wasn't able to treat grandfather Kian.He was ashamed of himself and so he decided to see the person who made the crowd jump up happily.Removing his hands from the trouser pocket, his jaw dropped upon seeing that the person was Ansel.He didn't need anyone to tell him that it was Ansel who miraculously treated grandfather, it was obvious.Dr Lancelot wished for a bullet to go through his heart but it wasn't possible.If he could hide under a little plant then he would have.Now he knew who the master truly was.Ansel was a master in the field and he ought to be learning from Ansel.And so, Dr Lancelot kowtowed, making the crowd gasp.Dr Lancelot wasn't just a doctor, he was quite famous for being the best doctor in the country.If Dr Lancelot of all people could bow down to greet Ansel, then he must be a junior doctor to the young man who had treated grandfather Kian.But how could a man who didn't look like he
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Happy birthday Samantha
Stepping into the toy store, Ansel made his way to the Mr Goldy fish toys. His eyes quickly scanned the shelves, and he picked up every last toy he could find, filling the white plastic bags with a smirk on his face.Ansel carried the bags of Mr Goldy toys back to his suite, feeling good about his successful purchase. The toys were heavy, but Ansel was used to carrying things and it wasn't hard for him.In about five minutes, Ansel arrived at the suite.He went straight to Samantha's room and knocked on the door with his head.His hands were full and that was his only alternative.Meanwhile, Samantha was preparing to sleep when she heard a knock on her door.She had a facemask on and thought it was probably the room service agents so she went ahead to open the door.Samantha gulped an invisible lump down her throat when she found out that the person was Ansel.Without warning, she ran into her bathroom to wash off the beauty face mask away from her face.It would be so embarrassing fo
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Unexpected news
The next day evening, as the sun started to set, a sleek black Rolls Royce phantom VIII arrived outside Ansel's residence. They were heading to a seven star restaurant which belonged to the Castillo's.Ansel approached the car and Anthony opened the rear door. He climbed inside, and Anthony got back in the driver's seat. With Ansel seated, Anthony steered the car onto the road.In the backseat of the car, Ansel found himself growing increasingly restless. To occupy himself, he pulled out his phone, his gaze skimming over the screen as he mindlessly scrolled through his notifications. He wasn't going to have a boring ride and so he decided to watch some short reels on his phone.After watching the most of the reels he could find, he thought of them as boring and so he shoved his phone into his pocket.Soon, they arrived at Castillo's seven star restaurant.When the car stopped, Anthony was about to open the door for Ansel. But before he could do that, Ansel signaled him to stop. "I c
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER An arranged marriage
Grandfather Kian's tone softened slightly, though his words still held a note of warning. "Ansel is the man I know is right for you, Thora. He's a good man, a man who will treat you well. Now, please behave yourself and trust that I have your best interests at heart."His eyes searched Thora's face, his expression softened as he continued."I know this is a lot to take in, but you need to trust me on this. Ansel is the one for you."However, Thora's mood was already ruined and she couldn't hide her displeased expression.How could grandfather Kian do this to her?She had agreed to an arranged marriage but she had no idea that she would be arranged to marry Ansel."What's wrong, Thora? You don't seem very happy" Ansel said with a teasing smile.As for him, he was fine with whoever his grandfather paired him with, as long as she knew not to interfere in his business.Thora snorted in disgust and grabbed some napkins on the table, she threw them with full force at Ansel and they landed di
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Wedding preparations
After having dinner, grandfather Kian went ahead to discuss plans for their engagement ceremony.They selected a location and a date and they all agreed with it.Thora's initial panic began to fade as she thought about the potential upside of a marriage with Ansel. ‘Well, if he doesn't want anything from me, then it'll be more like a business deal, right? No biggie,’ she mused to herself. It was just a marriage on paper and she would never fall for a man like Ansel.They soon talked about the engagement preparations and how to go about it. When the conversation was over, Ansel, grandfather Kian and Thora walked out of the restaurant.Grandfather Kian had already gotten to his car and Ansel walked alongside Thora."Can I drive you home?" Ansel asked in a raspy voice, the type of voice that would make any woman turn their heads to look at him a second time but Thora wasn't moved.She rolled her eyes in disbelief."I'm not going to get into a taxi with you, Ansel. As you can see, I'll

"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
