ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Rumor spreads so fast
Returning to the Castillo group headquarters, Ansel was astonished to find that word of his actions at Kings Company had already spread so fast in the Castillo group.They were all talking about the CEO of L company and how he had locked Dan, the CEO of Kings company behind bars.Smith had already heard about the rumors and he was eager to share the news. He told Ansel everything that he had heard from his colleagues, about how the mysterious CEO of L company had taken down Dan, the CEO of Kings Company, for poisoning President Thora. "I heard the CEO of L company is terrifying, like a monster or something. And he's got this scary aura that’s supposed to be even scarier than a demon’s." "Also heard that he is called Ansel Luther, the one and only son of the biggest family in the country."As they were talking, they all stopped to look at Ansel.Ansel said dryly. "What? You think I'll be the CEO of L's company?"They all laughed at his response.Ansel was making a lot of sense.No o
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Call for help
Kim excused herself and left the office.As Ansel was also about to leave the office after telling Thora that her water was safe for use when he heard Thora's voice and stopped.He stopped walking and turned to face her.She asked him to sit down, so he sat across from her and leaned back in his chair. Checking the water for purity without any equipment had been exhausting for Ansel. He had to rely solely on his own senses and knowledge, making the task more time-consuming.The effort he had put in to ensure that Thora was not being poisoned had left him mentally drained.He had used his inner energy and the system had also granted him something called the Hafling eyes.It was now easier for him to see things that humans wouldn't be able to see without a microscope.He had tested this skill in the restroom but it turned out that it also exhausted most of Qi.Ansel let out a small yawn, but he became instantly alert when he saw Thora's pale skin and the way her eyes were fixed on him.
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Big bro already saved us
As Ansel got to the dark corners of the alley, he saw five men surrounding a wounded man which he immediately recognized to be Justin Li.He had been beating so badly and could hardly lift his head up to see Ansel."Hit him one more time and face my wrath!" Ansel said coldly, his voice projecting in the alley.The men who were assaulting Justin Li halted their blows and turned to face Ansel, whose calm demeanor was in contrast to the chaos of the moment. His hands were tucked casually in his pockets, exuding an aura of quiet confidence.Beside him was snake Li who looked like he had just gotten back from hell.One of the five gangsters smirked and taunted Snake Li, “So, this is the hero you’ve brought to save you?”The rest of the men joined in his laughter, their eyes fixed on Ansel with a mixture of mockery and disbelief.They had expected the Li brothers to bring a strong huger person and not some ordinary man.Snake Li's voice brimmed with pride as he declared, "Brother Ansel has
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The big set-up
The next day, grandfather Kian summoned Ansel to his room.It was a private room which was similar to an office.Ansel went ahead to meet grandfather Kian who was sitting on the chair.He soon spotted Chris who was sitting by grandfather Kian's side.Surprisingly, Chris was not in the angry mood he usually saw him.He was looking all happy and bubbly.Ansel took a seat before greeting grandfather Kian.His face broke into a wide, genuine smile as he greeted Grandfather Kian with a cheerful “Good morning, grandfather! Happy weekend!” It was the weekend and the weather was looking so great outside.As the sun’s rays filtered through the window, they illuminated Ansel's features, accentuating the cheerful glint in his eyes and the bright smile that lingered on his face. Ansel casually accepted a cup of steaming tea from a maid who had been standing in the room. He took the cup with a polite nod and a smile."Thank you" Ansel mouthed.Grandfather Kian was also in a great mood, he was lo
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The unique black card
Ansel’s shock was evident as he exclaimed, “Fifty thousand dollars?! That’s outrageous!” His words were directed towards the shop attendant, who he had assumed to be the owner. “This is pure robbery!” he added.Chris on the other hand was impatiently waiting for Ansel to get humiliated.He decided to find something to say in order to fuel the conversation.The shop owner’s gaze conveyed a subtle accusation as she scrutinized Ansel. She figured out that he wasn't going to pay a dime.How could she have been so foolish?Compared to Chris, Ansel’s casual look and modest clothing made him seem from a different, more ordinary social class..She should have never worn the wrist watch for him in the first place.The shop owner wasted no time in reaching for the telephone, her eyes never leaving Ansel. “Call the police right away,” she commanded, her tone authoritative.Ansel could hardly believe his ears, was the woman really going to arrest him for a crime he didn't commit?He looked over
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A hot blow
Ansel's eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity as he gazed at the shop assistant and the policemen who were so quick to judge him.His smirk grew wider and his voice dripped with malice. "You think you can humiliate me? Or… mock me with your petty tricks?"The shop assistant's eyes widened in terror, still trying to snap out of the shock.She couldn't believe she had underestimated Ansel's power. She felt a pang of pity for Chris, who had sent her on this death errand. 'This man must be a powerful heir,' she thought to herself. 'I should have never crossed him.'On the other hand, the policemen soon realized their mistake and tried to apologize, but Ansel wasn't having it. "Kiss my feet, policemen. We made a bet!" he demanded, his voice cold.Ansel's cold words made them take a few steps backwards. At first, they wanted to protest, but Ansel's gaze was terrifying and in the end, they knew they had no choice.If they didn't kiss the man's feet then they would definitely lose their jobs.
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A recipe for revenge
Ansel's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger as he struggled to maintain his composure. He balled his fist and took a deep breath before speaking."Prove it, Chris," Ansel said, his voice low and even. "Prove to everyone that I'm crazy. You are making things up!"Chris scoffed harshly upon hearing Ansel's challenging words, he stood his ground, his eyes flashing with defiance. "You think I am making things up, Ansel? That's ridiculous! … Everyone…He's been acting strange for weeks, and now he's accusing me of lying. Can't you see how crazy he is?"Chris smiled smugly when he saw his granduncle nod his head in agreement, he figured out that if he portrayed Ansel as crazy in the presence of everyone then Ansel could get kicked out of the mansion and their lives could go back to the way it used to be.And for their lives to go back to the way it used to be, then Ansel would have to leave their family for good.Meanwhile, the rest of the family members exchanged worried glances, unsur
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The time has come
The following days flew by effortlessly, with Thora and Ansel's bond growing stronger by the day. With more time to himself, Ansel focused on mastering his system's skills. He carefully reviewed the list on the virtual screen, exploring the wide range of skills in his system.The system had granted him four skills after he successfully saved four men in the space of a few days.It appeared that saving people from the brink of death was the trigger for the system to automatically grant Ansel new skills.Just like when he saved Justin Li and Snake Li from near-death, he had unlocked two skills, but didn't check them that day.And after saving two more men, he was granted two extra skills.When Ansel had seen how the system granted him extra skills, he had gone on a secret mission at night to save as many people as he could with a mask on.Ansel controlled the virtual screen and tapped on the notification bar.[Toxin shield][Energy control][Cell renewal][Medicine mastery]The four s

"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
