ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Alas!
The hours ticked by as Ansel and Sebastian worked tirelessly, but to no avail. Their experiments yielded no positive results and the two began to lose hope. Ansel and Sebastian lost all sense of time.Then, out of nowhere, Sebastian's voice broke the silence, exclaiming loudly.Ansel who was sitting on the floor turned to look at him with a confused expression.He immediately became alert when he saw the joy on Sebastian's face.Hurriedly, he stood up from the floor and looked at Sebastian expectantly.Ansel straightened his back, his confusion replaced with a glimmer of hope as he asked, "Did you manage to create a successful vaccine?" Though the news was indeed positive, Sebastian's mischievous side couldn't resist a bit of playful teasing. He played it cool, keeping his expression stoic as he waited for Ansel's curiosity to reach a boiling point.After trying his best to create a vaccine, he was finally able to create one that didn't precipitate like the rest of the vaccines.Hi
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Drunk wife
Ansel carried Thora with the utmost delicacy into her room, her small hands gripping his shirt as if her very life depended on it. He placed her on the bed with great care.Ansel could see the fatigue etched into Thora's features and so he decided against waking her, allowing her to restAs he covered her with a soft blanket, Thora stirred briefly, her small hands pushing the blanket aside in a sleepy, yet rebellious gesture.He chuckled at her stubbornness and then tried to cover her for the second time."I feel very hot. I don't...want it " She said in a whisper while yanking the blanket off again. Her eyes half closed as she stared at the towering figure.Ansel wasn't going to let her sleep without covering herself properly.If he didn't cover her with the blanket then she would catch a cold.And so, Ansel grabbed the blanket and made sure to wrap her up properly this time.Just as Ansel was about to walk to the door, he caught sight of Thora yanking the blanket away.Ansel was ab
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A minor operation
While they were on their way to the Castillo group Thora informed Ansel about the party she attended.Though she didn't think of it as suspicious, she wondered why Ansel was saying she was drugged.She had only drank water and nothing else so how could that be possible?The couple soon reached the Castillo group and Thora bid Ansel a casual farewell before heading off to her office.Ansel, on the other hand, made his way towards the medical department, his footsteps clicking on the ground as he pushed the door open. Smith, who was busy chatting with some of the new doctors, immediately paused his conversation.His eyes widening in amazement, he ran to meet Ansel."You are indeed the magic doctor." Smith pulled Ansel in for a brotherly hug, he was beyond shocked to see Ansel in one piece.He had assumed that Ansel would be in a wheelchair but he was looking more healthier than the sick patients in the medical department.Smith's heart burst with joy and for a second, he forgot that th
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Welcoming party
Smith bought an extra drink for Ansel in the end and the two had a nice time while chatting and catching up.After a relaxing conversation with Smith, he was not only up-to-date with the latest happenings at the Castillo's company but also grateful for Thora’s kindness in allowing him a one-week break. As he took his final gulp of drink, he remembered Thora's drunk state the previous night.Having remembered Smith’s mention of president Thora’s recent attendance at a celebration party, Ansel seized the opportunity to ask about the event.He casually brought up the party, curling his question into their conversation as if it were merely another passing topic of interest, when in reality his curiosity was piqued by the possibility of a connection to Thora’s unusual behavior.Smith made sure to tell Ansel all that he knew.Ansel nodded his head while Smith kept on talking about matters of the company.He was starting to get lost in thought.The Kings group was a known company in the cit
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER President Thora Castillo is married
The speech continued with grandfather talking about his son-in-law and giving praises.Meanwhile, the guests were left in a state of bewilderment, unable to place the mysterious ‘Ansel’ that grandfather Kian kept mentioning. They glanced around, trying to suss out any information from their fellow attendees, but to no avail. All guests were on the edge of their seats, curious as to who could possibly have earned such high praise from the Castillo family patriarch. On the surface, they projected an air of decorum, but their real feelings were filled with envy.The fact that a stranger, rather than one of their own sons had secured a place in the esteemed Castillo family stirred up jealousy.In the world of high society and business, arranged marriages were seen as a strategic way to forge alliances and ensure the continued success of both families.By joining forces through marriage, two families could combine their resources and influence, ensuring that neither would ever have to s
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Family time
Thirty minutes passed and the party finally came to an end.As the grand party came to an end, the hall emptied out, leaving only a few guests.Many attendees took advantage of this final opportunity to secure their futures with the Castillo family, submitting their contracts to the Castillo manager before taking their leave. Ansel on the other hand suddenly remembered his promise to Thora.He cursed himself with gritted teeth for forgetting about the pork meat.As Ansel searched for Thora in the thinning crowd, he soon came to the realization that she was nowhere to be found. With a furrowed brow and a growing sense of unease, he decided to entrust the clean-up to the skilled hands of the cleaners.Ansel gave them a few final instructions before making his way out of the party hall.Continuing his search for Thora, he heard faint conversation of people and it was coming from the dining table.Ansel walked into the room to find all members of the Castillo group showering praises on
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Slow poison
"Grandfather, you seem so happy to share the news. " Chris asked with excitement, ignoring the salty taste in his mouth.He immediately wondered if grandfather had finally decided to make him manage all of the Castillo business across the country.Everyone also wanted to hear the news.They were eager to know what grandfather Kian had to say.Ansel looked up from his plate, he was also part of the family so it was normal for him to also join in the conversation."I see that you've managed to keep yourself out of trouble while I've been gone, Chris," Grandfather Kian said with an amused smile. For the first time in a while, he hadn't heard the news of Chris getting drunk in different restaurants."Thank you grandfather." As Chris acknowledged his grandfather's words, the corners of his lips curved upwards. His eyes gleamed with pride as he lifted his gaze to meet his grandfather’s approving eyes. This was one of the rare moments when grandfather showered praises on him.The hatred he
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Visiting the Kings company
Thora slept well with Ansel watching over her and searching for any noticeable changes in her body.As the days passed, Ansel dedicated himself to intense training sessions with Vinny. The rigorous workouts pushed his body and mind to their limits, but the hard work paid off.Ansel's Qi improved noticeably with each session, allowing him to perform techniques more easily and with greater precision. As his training progressed, Ansel's proficiency with Qi grew exponentially. He learned to channel this energy within his own body which in turn fortified his muscles and bones, making him more resilient to physical injuries.Additionally, Ansel discovered that he could manipulate the Qi of those around him, infusing their cells with his own internal energy. This allowed him to accelerate the healing process of those who were suffering from ailments and injuries.He had done the same for Thora and luckily, she was able to heal temporarily.However, for some reason the poison was refusing

"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
