"Well…I am Ansel, the CEO of L's company. You made mention of us being friends. We aren't friends and we will never be." Ansel said, resting his hands causally in his pants pocket.Dan Kings was amazed by Ansel's boldness, he had never gotten the chance to meet the CEO of the L's company and so he wondered if Ansel was able to see through his lies.As Dan Kings scrutinized Ansel, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. Though the young man standing before him exuded confidence and authority, he did not match the mental image Dan had of the L company's CEO. Dan Kings' smirk deepened as he raised an eyebrow, his words oozing with condescension.“Well, well, Ansel, if you were me, would you really believe that a man dressed in a cheap suit and a tacky watch, with hair that looks like it’s been styled by a blind barber, could actually be the CEO of a company like L? You might as well try selling me a bridge while you're at it, Ansel.”Ansel refused to let Dan Kings' taunts get under his
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
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.
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
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’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'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'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
