ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Getting familiar with them : 1
After saying the not-so encouraging words, the group of people marched towards the huge gate.Ansel took in every detail of the environment.They were now out of what seemed like a forest and into a clear area.If the enemies were to suspect anything then they might not be able to get out of there alive.It was a very clear area and Ansel found himself saying some prayers in his mind.No matter what went wrong, he wasn't going to give up and die in some strange world.'Nothing can go wrong if we stay quiet' Ansel said quietly in his mind.Audrey tapped Ansel's shoulder with a finger, then smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.Ansel's was a little taken aback, he forced a brief tight-lipped smile before quickly turning his attention back to the gate, his gaze fixed on the imposing structure.If Audrey thought his smile had a way of making him seem better, then he was wrong.Who in the world would be calm when they were about to go into a village filled with unknown creatures?Anse

"But…promise me that you will take me to see the fashion castle" Linda looked at him with pleading eyes.Ansel had no choice but to nod his head."I can't make any promise for now, but if you help me then I will try my best to put in good words for you" Ansel said, he saw Linda put her hands over her mouth, as if trying to prevent herself from saying something."Banshee's do not know how to contain their excitement but luckily I have been learning self control since I was a baby. Now take me to your friends and I will try my best to introduce you all to the best jobs you can ever find." Linda removed her palms from her mouth, she breathed down a little and said to Ansel with a serious expression.Giving a slight nod, Ansel immediately set to look for Vinny and the others.As they walked, he would take a glance to look at his wristband every once in a while, trying his best to not look suspicious.Ansel soon found them, his forehead creased when he saw them wearing different clothes.H
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Kael and the little elves
"Please, let them come with us, Vinny" Ansel said as he stared at Audrey and Ami.In case if things were to go wrong then the two were in the best position to help them."Okay, okay... they can come with us to the tavern," Vinny conceded, exhaling a resigned sigh, though he had to admit, having two extra companions might not be so bad after all.Ami and Audrey had a smile on their faces.It was the first time Ansel saw Ami smile and he couldn't help but think she looked more pretty with a smile on her face."Be careful, Mr Vinny." Zoey, the middle-aged woman called out as they prepared to leave for the tavern.Ansel found it strange. The woman seemed to have a thing for Vinny and she wasn't trying to hide her feelings.He saw Vinny nod his head before gesturing for them to follow him.Linda, who had been so busy with her new sword, saw Ansel walk away with some group of people.She had a lot of questions to ask him and so she walked up to him, gently placing the sword beside her wais
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Important announcement
Ansel stared at the empty street, he had no idea what the time was in the strange world.One thing he noticed was that the weather never seemed to change.The moons also seemed to be in a fixed position.Could it be that this world had no day?Ansel couldn't figure it out especially when he had no idea about what the time was.As he was thinking, he heard footsteps behind him.Ami rested her head on her brother's shoulder, the tiredness evident in their faces.The sight of Kael triggered Ansel's memory, and he suddenly remembered why they had come in the first place.Luckily none of them were injured and they hadn't gotten into any more trouble.A warm hand caressed his chest and he looked down to see Linda trying to rest her head on his shoulder also.Ansel sighed softly, she was their only friend and he couldn't cast her aside or be rude to her.The sudden, ear-splitting trumpet sound sent Ansel's hands flying to his ears to block out the noise.It sounded like a loud siren and it w
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Prince Zach and King Atris
Vinny wasn't expecting all of this. A faint crease formed between his eyebrows, and his lips parted ever so slightly.The government didn't tell them about any of this information.He had originally thought that they would find powerful beasts and monsters in this world.Although they discovered creatures, they were surprised to find that the creatures took on human form and went about everyday human activities.The fashion castle sounded so strange to him, and he immediately knew the gravity of the situation.There wasn't much time to think about how to get there, either."We need to find the fashion castle as soon as possible, or we are all toast." Vinny said it in a serious tone and then walked away at a fast pace.If what Linda said was true, then they wouldn't survive another day in this world."Let's go meet the rest of our team." Vinny halted his steps and turned to look at Ansel, Ami, Audrey, and Kael, who were still stunned and unable to move.It seemed like his voice broke t
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Fight or die
"What castle are you from?" Zach asked, descending gently to the ground.The people around Ansel immediately stepped backwards to allow the prince some space to keep his feet.Internally, most of them felt a sense of gratitude, knowing they wouldn't have to face off against Prince Zach.A confrontation with the prince was a death sentence, and they were beyond thankful to not be in Ansel's precarious position."I am from the Fashion Castle," Ansel replied quietly, deliberately keeping his voice down to avoid arousing the suspicion of any genuine Fashion Castle members who might be present.He then snorted in disgust when he saw Zach lick his lips."I want to tear you apart, shatter your bones, and devour your soul," Zach hissed, his voice dripping with malice. His red eyes burned with an unholy hunger as he continued speaking. "I'll rip you to shreds, reduce you to nothing but a mere memory, and savour every last drop of your pitiful existence."Ansel shook his head as he stared into
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Zach's ability
Blood dripped down from Ansel's shoulders and fell down to the ground.Time seems to stop for a moment and Ansel thought it was all over.His secret was on the verge of being discovered, and once it was, he would face the collective fury of those around him.There was absolutely no way he could get out of this.Ansel's gaze dropped to the crimson stain spreading across the floor. Then, his eyes locked onto Zach's.He was waiting for a reaction. If vampires possessed the keen sense of smell he'd heard rumors of, Zach would surely detect the unmistakable scent of human blood emanating from his injured shoulder.Having no other choice, Ansel took a deep breath and grabbed the handle of the axe with both hands. He pulled with all the strength he could muster, but it was stuck. He pulled again, and thankfully this time it started to move. The pain was excruciating, but he kept pulling until the axe finally came out from his shoulder. Blood poured out of the wound, and Ansel felt himself
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Captured
At this point, Ansel could feel his body lose vitality.He could hardly lift a finger, his body felt like it was weighed down by lead.Ansel had a murderous look in his eyes, he had no choice but to follow King Atris and Zach into the castle.Taking one last look, he turned around to look at the crowd.In his heart, he hoped to see Vinny or any of the leaders of the group but he was only met with happy faces of people who were dancing and chanting some strange words."Guess I have no choice but to do this on my own." Ansel muttered under his breath.He turned around and walked carefully, making sure to not trip. The blood strings had a way of sucking his energy and so he had no strength to move anymore.His eyes scanned the castle and noticed the brightly lit candles and strange paintings on the wall.The room had a scary theme, it was all painted red and black.Ansel looked up to see king Atris take a seat on a big King-sized chair.A guard handed a cup of wine to him and he accepte

"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
