Zach's best guess was that Ansel had gone out of control.He immediately noticed that his cup was empty.Rogues were not meant to taste human blood, they had already been cursed by the King."You drank what's mine" Zach stood up slowly. Dark clouds began to form at the top of his head.He growled loudly and stared at Ansel.Even if Ansel was stronger than he thought, Zach couldn't afford to let a mere rogue get away with what he had done."Have you read the fifth commandment? Thou shalt not drink of what belongs to a royal blood. The punishment is death but you will die in my hands." Zach said before unleashing his blood strings.Ansel didn't say a word, he just stared at Zach and prepared himself for any attack.He couldn't keep his cover any longer.Ansel had already made up his mind, he couldn't stay in the mansion anymore.Zach was clearly angry because Ansel drank human blood.Ansel didn't know about the ten commandments that Zach mentioned but at this point, he didn't care about
Startled by the ground's violent convulsions, Ansel swiftly repositioned his feet to ensure his own safety.A massive platform rose from the ground, instantly taking the form of an earthly pillar. As Ansel's eyes fell upon the enigmatic structure, he began to read the strange symbols inscribed upon it.Its rough platform was noticeable but that didn't seem to bother Ansel, he was more worried as to how the pillar appeared."Is anyone in this place?" Ansel asked out loud, he had walked a great distance from the entrance of the cave and so he was sure that no one outside could hear him.Not unless there was someone in the cave.His voice echoed in the cave and rang back in his ears.He was met with silence except for the flapping of wings which were obviously from the bats who were scared of Ansel's sudden scream.Suddenly, Ansel remembered that there was a flashlight in his bag and so he quickly fumbled to bring it out.The bright light focused its gaze on the high pillar which was as
Ansel's breathing was loud in his ears. Then, he heard the creak of the floorboards and the soft thud of footsteps, getting closer.His eyelids fluttered, struggling to stay open. He tried to lift a finger, but his arm felt like lead, refusing to budge. Ansel's gaze fell on the blurry figures approaching him, their faces indistinct.'Don't fight it' He thought to himself, allowing the strange calmness take control over him."Give them some time to recover. It has been a wild journey"The voice echoed in his ears, a voice which he recognized to be Vinny's.Ansel grunted, despising his helplessness on the cold ground. Summoning every last ounce of strength, he tried to move, to push himself up, but his body still felt like lead.With a surge of determination, Ansel slowly raised himself up once more, planting one knee firmly on the ground and using it as a support to steady his weakened body as he struggled to his feet.Ansel stumbled backward, his eyes fluttering open with effort. At f
His gray hair was slicked back and his suit seemed tailored to accentuate his sturdy build. But despite his advanced age, there was an aura of power about him.The old man's eyes narrowed as he took a long drag on his cigarette, the smoke curling around his face like a veil. As he exhaled, the smoke seemed to dance in the air, as if obeying his unspoken command. Ansel didn't need someone to tell him that the man before him was the one and only level A ranker."I have heard a lot about you, Ansel. It's time we finally met. Make yourself comfortable." The man said without batting an eyelid, he concentrated so much on the cigarette stick that Ansel thought the man could die from one more drag.Ansel and Vinny exchanged glances, in return, Vinny gave him a reassuring look and gestured for him to have his seat.Emboldened by Vinny's calm behavior, Ansel sat down next to Vinny, facing the old man who was seated at a large desk in front of them.For the first time since they stepped foot i
Ansel was now on his way home.He had expected to spend more time in the Mpk organization, but since the portal travel had indeed taken five minutes, he still had a lot of free time.As the afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the landscape, Ansel set out on foot, strolling through the pleasant weather towards the street of the Castillo mansion.It was still the early hours of the afternoon, and the street was bustling with noise.If anything, he was glad to be back in the real world.He pulled out the ten-dollar bill from his pocket and used it to purchase a granola bar from a nearby store.As he walked, Ansel unwrapped the granola bar and savored the tasty treat, chewing contentedly.A sleek car was moving slowly by his side.Ignoring it, Ansel kept moving forward, not bothering to check why the driver was driving so slowly."Hey brother Ansel! Hop in!" A head poked out of the passenger seat, waving at Ansel in an attempt to stop him.In that instant, Ansel turned his head to the sid
"Angelina is mine!""No, she is mine, stupid!"Angelina's eyes widened in astonishment as the two men's conversation suddenly escalated into a heated argument.As a streamer, Angelina knew she had a certain appeal, but she never anticipated becoming the catalyst for a heated dispute between the two men.Her voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke, "I'll accept both gifts," They turned to look at her, their nostrils flaring due to anger.Both men had been asking her out on a date in the past, and she had tried refusing gifts from them both.However, recently, her family was in need of some money, and she figured out she could sell some of the gifts in order to generate some money."Will you be my girlfriend, Angelina? I love you so much. More than anyone in this room ever will. I am the only one worthy of your love and beauty. I am the richest guy in this room." One of the men declared proudly, he stretched forth his hand for Angelina to hold.As Angelina turned to face the seco
Ansel returned back to the Castillo mansion. The sun was still shining and so he guessed that Thora must be at home.As Ansel stepped inside, he saw the housekeeper meticulously dusting the chairs with a soft, white cloth."Good afternoon, housekeeper!" Ansel greeted cheerfully, his voice ringing out in the quiet room. The housekeeper was caught off guard, she jumped slightly, her dusting cloth hovering motionless in mid-airI as she turned to face him.She hadn't expected Ansel to be back so early. The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and kept a smile on her face before saying in a soft respectful tone. "Welcome home, Mr Ansel. Would you like anything to eat?" Ansel went forward to give her a warm hug.For the past few days, she had been a mother figure to him.The old woman accepted the hug with a smile.She patted Ansel on the back softly and then Ansel pulled out of the hug."I'll tell you if I need anything but right now, I'm pretty full. If you keep feeding me this way th
After logging out of his account, Ansel immediately dialed Anthony's number.He ordered him to bring his car to the Castillo mansion.Ansel abruptly ended the call before snatching a pen and ripping a sheet from a notebook.He immediately wrote some words down and folded it into a neat square.Ansel cast one last look at his phone before setting it down on the table and walking out of the room, making sure to leave the door unlocked behind him.He couldn't take a public phone to the Luther's villa.And so he decided to get a new phone which wasn't trackable.Ansel got to the living room, the housekeeper was still arranging the room."I need you to give this to my wife, tell her I won't stay too long." He handed the housekeeper the paper and then left without bothering to explain to the woman who had a confused expression on her face.It didn't take long for the car to arrive.Ansel opened the door of the backseat and sat down inside.The Luther's mansion was in another city and it wo
