ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The beginning: 2
They soon arrived at the king's Castle and Atticus had a private meeting with the Vampire King alone.Ansel and the others were unaware of what Atticus and the King were discussing, so they were shown to their rooms, where they could freshen up and wait until their attention was needed.The wristband communication devices were still working, and everyone was anxiously waiting for updates.Their attention was piqued when Vinny shared the news that King Atris had agreed to a peace treaty, pending one crucial condition.They wanted to know what the condition was but Vinny wasn't ready to tell them.It was going to be a discussion between the elders of the MPK organization and those seniors from the special task force. They told everyone to rest in the rooms provided for them while they continued the meeting in a private room.Ansel, Ami, Audrey, and two other men entered the room, their footsteps echoing off the walls. As they began to settle in, Ami's scowl deepened, her arms crossed ti
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Unexpected Encounter
The man was popularly known as Henry, he had a pair of glasses on and seemed to be interested in what Ansel was reading.Henry slid into the chair beside Ansel, his eyes fixed on the book in Ansel's hands. His fingers swiftly darted into his pocket and emerged with a small, glowing orb. He placed it on the table between them, and Ansel's eyes widened in confusion. Henry smiled as he leaned in to whisper,"The orb is for secrecy. Some people might want to eavesdrop on our conversation but this orb will help to keep our conversation discreet." Ansel's gaze narrowed, his eyes locked on Henry's face. “Why are you here?” he asked, his voice low. “And who are you, exactly?”Henry's chuckle sounded a bit forced, his eyes darting around Ansel's mask as he tried his best to see Ansel's face. 'I'm Henry,' he said, his voice tinged with a hint of nervousness. 'A... friend, of sorts. I've been looking for someone with your particular interests.”He was a young werewolf, a loner and a book fre
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Fifty humans, Fifty slaves, more blood.
The next day, King Atris summoned the human leaders to a meeting.Ansel and the others gathered around the massive table, its surface scarred and scratched from countless meetings and feasts. His presence in the grand hall was unexpected, to say the least. He wasn't supposed to be there, not among the vampire elders and human leaders.But Atticus had surprised everyone by extending a personal invitation, beckoning him to take a seat at the table. In total, there were about fifty people sitting around the table.Ansel was interested in the discussion but he was told to stay as quiet as possible.The meeting was a heated one with the vampires and humans quarreling.King Atris's voice thundered through the grand hall. "We demand fifty humans as reparation for the injustices of the past," he declared, his eyes blazing with a fierce determination. "If this demand is not met, we will not only continue to take humans from Earth, but we will take them all." The room fell silent, the weight
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A match?
Ansel had barely stepped into the room when Audrey walked towards him, his face creased with worry. "Brother Ansel, have you seen the president's reply?" he asked, his deep voice laced with a sense of concern.Ansel's eyebrows raised up, his eyes widening in surprise as he halted in his tracks. "How?... What reply?" he asked, confused as to what Audrey was saying."The communication device has been blinking nonstop since you attended the meeting with the elders," Audrey fixed his gaze on Ansel's wristband, his eyes widening as he wondered why Ansel hadn't noticed the consistent blinking of his wrist band when it was clearly obvious.As he spoke, the others in the room exchanged worried glances, their faces showing a growing sense of unease.Ami continued from where her brother stopped. " We thought it was just a glitch but then we saw the reply." She paused, her lips pressing together in a tight line. "It was from the president, and it was a reply to Atticus, but..." Her voice trailed
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The unfair match
The day of the match between humans and the King's chosen men had arrived, with the stage set in the middle of the king's castle grounds. The excitement was noticeable as the crowd gathered to witness the thrilling match. Thousands of supernatural creatures arrived, including Werewolves, Banshees, vampires, Elves and lots more. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, eager to find out who would emerge victorious - the humans or their own kind. Meanwhile, Ansel and the others were ushered to a separate area, where they were told to wait. On the other hand, King Atris seemed to be enjoying the cheers from the crowds, he smiled from ear to ear as he looked down at the people chanting his name. Ten powerful mages and ability users had been hand picked by him and they stood still, waiting for the match to start. A figure emerged from the crowd, his piercing gaze drawing attention. Two curved horns protruded from his forehead and he stared at the crowd before returning his
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Mana healer
Audrey's eyes widened in horror as he stumbled towards his sister, his heart racing with fear.He fell to his knees beside her, gathering her limp body into his arms.Her eyes fluttered open as she felt his warm touch, she gazed up at him with a faint smile even though she was in so much pain."Audrey, you are alive..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.Audrey nodded his head reassuringly, his vision getting blurry as he struggled to hold back his tears. "My sister's dying because of you!" Audrey seethed with anger as he stared up at Ryker who had a nonchalant look on his face.Ryker cared less about what was going on between the siblings and so he ignored the death stares from Audrey.On the other hand, the crowd released shocking gasps, their hearts skipping a beat as they watched the scene unfold.This would have been Audrey lying in the pool of blood if Ami didn't run into the Arena.The sword had gone deep into her stomach and they feared that she wouldn't survive.Ansel
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Ice ability user
The battle continued in the Arena and Vinny watched anxiously as the special task force members on his team fell one by one. Maya was defeated by her opponent's lightning-fast reflexes, Jax was overpowered by his foe's sheer strength, and Lena was outsmarted by her adversary's cunning tactics.His heart sank as he realized that none of his teammates had emerged victorious. The pressure was now on him to turn the tide as he was the second to the last one to fight on their team.The referee's voice echoed through the arena, "And now, put your hands together for Vinny, who will face off against... Glaciem!"Vinny braced himself as he gazed at his opponent, Glaciem, an Ice ability user with a formidable reputation. The audience began making little conversations, and from their words, he could tell that they feared Glaciem.Glaciem was looking like a tough opponent and so he knew he had to be at the top of his game if he was going to defeat Glaciem and secure a much-needed win for his t
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The final match (Ansel vs Caspian)
Finally, the announcer mentioned Ansel's name and his opponent.His eyes blazed with determination as he walked towards the Arena.He gave Vinny a resolute nod, as if to say, "I won’t disappoint you."His teammates had lost and none of them came at the top. Ansel wanted victory and he was going to get it.He braced himself, this time around, he decided to use his fist as he was more powerful when he used martial arts skills.The match began, and Ansel charged forward with a flurry of punches and kicks.His opponent, Caspian, countered with swift blocks and strikes.Fortunately, Ansel's movements were unpredictable, his body twisting and turning in strange, fluid motions.Caspian's eyes narrowed, trying to read Ansel's technique, but it was like nothing he had ever seen before.Ansel's arms seemed to stretch and contort, his legs coiling and uncoiling like a spring.The two of them exchanged blows, their movements lightning-fast.Caspian landed a solid kick, but Ansel absorbed the impa

"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
