ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Party for the new students
The party hall's elegant design was accentuated by the radiant lighting that filled the space.Ansel's eyes scanned the room, and it dawned on him why Mira had made an effort to look so stunning.The hall was filled with elegantly dressed guests, leaving him feeling like the only one who didn't get the memo.Mira was so excited. She had hopes of making new loyal friends this time and so she was on the lookout.Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be paired up in groups, leaving Mira as the only one without a new friend.The principal stepped up to the microphone, a warm smile spreading across his face as he surveyed the room filled with students. Chatter and laughter died down as he cleared his throat, preparing to deliver his welcome speech to officially kick off the orientation party.After delivering the speech,a round of applause echoed in the huge hall and soon the main party started."Brother Ansel, can we go play some card games with them?" Mira asked with a pout, she didn't like
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A public holiday
Ansel lent a hand to Mira the following day, assisting her in unpacking and settling into her new apartment from start to finish.Since it was a public holiday, he didn't have to go to work.Ansel decided to attend the meeting that was for MPK members.They had announced it in their group chats and Ansel knew he had to attend.The building was a tranquil and refined structure, with the MPK logo prominently displayed in bold letters at the top.Security was tight, and Ansel had to show his membership card to gain entry into the building, as the organization maintained strict access control.After getting past the security, Ansel managed to find the right room.Inside the white room, a young man and woman were intensely engaged in a martial arts sparring match.Ansel pulled out his phone and opened the messaging app.He scrolled down to check the group announcement.It was said that all new members of the MPK should get to know each other and get to participate in the fighting competiti
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The level A ranker's identity is revealed
"Mind if I join you?" Audrey asked, his bright smile showcasing his charming dimples as he gazed at Ansel with warm enthusiasm.Ansel nodded his head in approval and Audrey took his seat."I don't think you're familiar with how things work around here. Would you like me to explain?" When Ansel heard Audrey's words, he wondered why he was being so nice to him.The other members of the MPK were engaged in intense battles, showcasing their remarkable abilities and techniques while others stood nearby, oblivious to the commotion, chatting and laughing with each other."Who is he?" Ansel asked with raised brow as he stared at Kael.Ansel had not seen Kael’s wristband because he never really paid attention to it. He wondered why Kael was behaving so arrogant."Oh Kael? He is one out of the three level D members." Audrey explained.He then went on to tell Ansel about how there were three level D members in the room.Kael, Audrey and Ami were the only level D members in the newbie group and
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A resounding slap
"Back off, Kael! Stop stickin' your nose in other people's affairs!" Audrey stood up for Ansel.Given Kael's aggressive behavior, Audrey didn't want Ansel to become a vulnerable target, so he stepped in to protect him.There was something unique about Ansel that drew Audrey in, and he had come to regard Ansel as a new friend, someone worth looking out for."Don't be a dickhead! I am sure Ansel has a mouth of his own." Kael's face contorted in a snarl, his eyes flashed with anger as he spat the words at Audrey. Even though the two had never fought, Kael was confident that he was the strongest man in the room."Kael, is that what you are called? Tsk tsk, tqhat's such a pretty name for a rough looking man." Ansel's eyes narrowed slightly, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as he stretched his hands out in a mocking gesture.Kael's face reddened as he strode towards Ansel, his eyes blazing with fury. He halted in front of him, chest heaving with aggression.Audrey stood beside Ansel, his
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Telling them everything they needed to know
"Silence everyone!" The woman commanded with authority.Audrey, who was excited about being in the same group with Ansel, suddenly kept quiet.They all wanted to know what the woman had to say next."To test your strength and power, you will be allowed to enter a special portal for five minutes. It's a different world from ours. There are several magical creatures and beasts. I am sure most people do not know that a world like this existed. But the government had recently discovered a different world. It's too risky to get there with rockets and spaceships and so a new technology was developed. We will get to go through portals." The woman paused a little and then continued." There is only one portal and that is why only a group of four people can go in at once. Everything that happens in the world is real. If you die in the world then you will die in this world. There are several magical creatures that you would never think about. It's a scary discovery but the creatures are plannin
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Activated portal
"Vinny, If the creatures are as dangerous as you say then I think we should gear up with some weapons, just in case they turn hostile.”Ansel suggested cautiously. “I don't want us to be caught off guard if they decide to attack….We should be prepared for anything, especially if we're going to be dealing with beings that are completely foreign to us."Everyone thought that they heard him wrong.Did Ansel just call Vinny by his name?They all stared at Vinny to see what he would do next.Vinny hated when people younger than him addressed him with no respect.The room went silent and they all held their breaths as they waited for what would happen next.“Yes, Ansel, you're absolutely right! The government has also equipped us with top-notch gear. Everyone has the freedom to choose the weapon they're most proficient with," Vinny replied with a smile, gesturing towards the vast room behind them.He stared at the shocked faces of the MPK members and wondered why they were all looking at him
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A different world
"Wait!"Ansel's voice made them stop in their tracks, they all turned to look at him expectantly.Kael scoffed, he assumed that Ansel was probably trying to back out."Is this the only portal that we have, Vinny?""He called brother Vinny without respect again.""How uncultured can he be?""I am sure brother Vinny is going to kill him this time."They began to whisper to themselves.Vinny found it hard to concentrate especially when their whispers were filling his ears, he raised his hands up in order to shun them.The loud whispers were replaced by a sudden quietness."If I hear any more words from anyone then I will make sure to feed you to the creatures in the other world." Vinny threatened in an icy tone.Fear crept to their skins and they nodded their heads in fear.Who was Ansel and why wasn't Brother Vinny scolding him?The question was on their minds but they had no choice but to keep quiet.Afterall, they were all new members.However some became jealous and wished that they
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Waiting for the other teams
They found a quiet spot in the area where they could talk without being overheard.After searching around, they finally sat down together to talk about what to do next.No one knew what type of creatures they were and so they freaked out at every little insect they saw.Vinny's reassuring smile helped ease their fears and they slowly relaxed, their panicked breathing slowing to a gentle sigh.Even Kael who had been acting like an asshole was too scared to speak.He sat so close to Vinny because he believed that Vinny was the only one who could save him.Vinny kept a watchful eye on their surroundings, his gaze scanning for any sign of danger as he explained their situation to the students in a calm voice. The other groups must have landed in another position and so they needed to locate them as fast as they could."Pay attention, everyone. There's a village nearby that's allegedly the only place where these creatures are confined. I'm skeptical about the official story, but one thing

"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
