"What did you say kid? This flower is about to come to life." When botanist Johnson heard what Ansel said, he couldn't help but snap at the young man.How dare he challenge his expertise?Ansel ignored and kept quiet, he wanted to see what else botanist Johnson had up his sleeves."It's gonna come back to life any minute from now" Botanist Johnson said with a nervous laugh.His confidence level dropped to a zero when he noticed the flowers slump down in defeat.Botanist Johnson struggled to maintain his steeze as the flower turned an even darker shade, his professional demeanor faltered in that instant.But how was this possible?He was sure about all the research he had done.The experiments he did before they arrived at the mountain showed that it would work."What seems to be the problem?" Dave asked as he noticed the difference.He wasn't the only one who had noticed the difference, everyone did."I don't know what went wrong. I did everything right." Botanist Johnson said in a l
Suddenly, a swarm of golden fireflies descended upon the dying flower like a celestial army and their ethereal light casted a soft glow upon the wilting petals. The flower's transformation was nothing short of miraculous.Ansel held his breath as he waited for something to happen.The golden flower should have been showing a very bright yellow but its color was still faint."Don't get too hopeful, the fireflies must have come to witness your failure." Ray said with a grin.He enjoyed making fun of Ansel and wasn't considering stopping."Oh wow, this is beautiful""Oh my god, look at that." "I want to scream out loud""The golden flower is indeed beautiful" Ray sorted in disgust as he heard his men whisper amongst themselves.When his gaze fell on the golden flower, he felt several needles prick his eyes.Was this even real?The golden flower was now standing straight with a strong glow.No wonder it was called the golden flower, it emitted a beautiful golden hue.Ansel smiled proud
Ray smirked. "I see we have some little adults among us," he sneered, gesturing mockingly at them. "Don't worry, we're not gonna hurt you...we're just gonna fill your bellies with some nice warm soup so you can get strong and be just like us. So come on guys, sit down and have a taste! Unless you're scared, of course." Ansel growled loudly, his instinct told him that Ray and Dave were up to something."We are not interested, as a matter of fact, we don't want you following us. If I'm not mistaken, there's a different route which you can follow. So stay away from us!" Amelia, who had an idea of what was going on, walked forward, she pointed her index finger at the narrow road that was by the right and gestured for Ray and his men to leave.Ray felt insulted, he wiped away the beads of sweat from his face and sneered angrily. "Are you going to tell us what to do? Is this your father's home? I won't be nice to you Amelia. It's time to drop the act. You have one choice, you either forge
"Who are you?" Ray asked in a quiet voice, he was starting to see Ansel in a different light. Maybe Ansel was a beast in disguise.There was no way a single man could take down multiple men with few moves.The men which Ray had hired were highly skilled men.That was the only reason why they survived in the blue moon forest.How did Ansel take them down in a few seconds?Something wasn't right and Ray knew it!He knew all the strongest martial artists in the country and Ansel wasn't a part of it!"I am Ansel Luther, your doom." Ansel said, a devilish smirk playing at the corners of his lips.When Ray saw that Ansel wasn't as weak as he thought, he had no choice but to kowtow in his presence.He hit Dave lightly and gestured for him to do the same."Brother Ansel, we are very sorry,please forgive us. We promise to give Miss Amelia everything that she asked for. Please spare us" Ray said through gritted teeth, he had never kowtowed in front of anyone except his father.So he felt like h
That same night, Ansel had just gotten home and he immediately headed straight for his room.It seemed that Thora was too tired and so she wasn't present for dinner.When Ansel hadn't seen her there, he decided to take his dinner to the room instead.As Ansel unlocked the door, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.Ansel walked into the room, he dropped the chicken bowl of soup on the desk gently and then reached for his phone in his pocket."Hello" Ansel said into the phone. The number was a private number and he didn't know who the caller was."Master Ansel"When Ansel heard the cheerful voice, he immediately recognized who the caller was.It was Justin Li and he had called him to inform him about the Caspian family and their plans.Justin gave Ansel his word that the Caspians would behave themselves from now on and had even agreed to pack up and leave town for good.Ansel talked with Justin for a bit, discussing some serious matters, before finally ending the call.Since they ha
It was the next morning and Ansel was in the medical department.He had been rearranging the pills and was now with the last piece."Ansel, you look exhausted today. I've been meaning to thank you for your help the other day," Smith said, as he picked up a spare rag and began to help Ansel wipe down the shelf.Ansel nodded in appreciation, his eyes locking with Smith's in a warm, brotherly gaze."Hey, Ansel, don't bail on me next time, man! I'm seriously going to lose it if I'm stuck with all this work by myself again. I was this close to a nervous breakdown yesterday," Smith said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and giving Ansel a pleading look.The truth was that he had already gotten fond of Ansel and so he always got bored whenever Ansel wasn't around.Just when Ansel was about to open his mouth to speak, secretary Bob walked in with some men behind him.The sudden footsteps caused Ansel and Smith to exchange a brief, knowing glance before turning their attention to
The machine beeped and soon the test result was out.Ansel, who wasn't expecting anything to go wrong, wasn't really interested in knowing the results.He had used all of the right ingredients in creating the medicinal pills and there was no way a foreign substance would be detected.Ansel decided to rearrange the drugs on the shelf which secretary Bob had ruined."How long has this been going on, president Thora?" The product inspector was furious, he yelled at president Thora, leaving no more room for respect."What are you trying to say, inspector? You cannot shout at our president like that." Bob stood up from the table which he had been sitting on, he pretended to be angry with the inspector and he went forward to slap him."How dare you slap me! You are courting death!" The inspector's face immediately turned red.The anger which he felt before increased and he pointed his index finger at Ansel."Young man, you have been producing fake drugs in this company. Adegotine was found
"Wait" Ansel suddenly broke the silence, his hands wrapped around his shoulders.His gaze fell on the inspector's pocket and a smirk appeared on his face as he caught sight of something.Without waiting for permission, he immediately dipped his hands into the inspector's chest pocket.They all gasped when they saw a grinded purple powder in a little white nylon bag.There was no mistake. It was obviously an adegotine."For a man of too many words… I am surprised at the fact that you still don't know how to hide your properties properly." Ansel said while holding the nylon for everyone to see.The inspector's face went pale at that moment.He knew he had been caught.Stuttering, he thought of words to say. "So?...someone must have dropped that into my pockets. I am sure you are all aware that I inspect several companies. One of the workers must have done this to me." Ansel clapped his palms in a mocking manner. "You don't know how to lie, inspector. Perhaps you should take some lesson
