Laotaro looked at Hansen with hope in his eyes. “So, have you figured out who’s behind this?” he asked tensely.
Hansen nodded. “Follow me now,” he said, walking swiftly, following a faint red glow only he could see. It floated through the air, like a thread leading him to the source of the curse.Laotaro and several of his men followed behind, while Alyssa—though still weak from her ordeal—insisted on walking too. Her eyes were filled with curiosity... and vengeance toward the one who had tried to destroy her.The red glow guided them toward the lower levels of Laotaro’s estate, to a secluded room rarely visited. As they neared, a sudden explosion echoed from inside.“What was that?!” Laotaro shouted.Hansen sped up and stopped before an old wooden door, weathered yet etched with strange carvings. Black smoke seeped through its cracks, spreading a bone-chilling cold.“It’s inside,” Hansen muttered.Laotaro recognized the

"There will be another opportunity," Hansen said calmly, gazing at Alyssa who still looked weary yet filled with curiosity. Alyssa stared into his eyes, as if trying to find answers beyond his words. But all she saw was steadfastness and a deep sense of responsibility. “You should rest and eat more,” Hansen continued, averting his gaze. “Your body is still weak after the ritual.” Laotaro approached, his eyes softening as he looked at his daughter. “Return to your room, Alyssa. We’ll take care of the rest.” Alyssa opened her mouth, ready to protest, but in the end, she simply nodded. She knew when to obey. After Alyssa was escorted away by her assistant, Hansen and Laotaro made their way to Laotaro’s private study located in the west wing of the mansion. The room was quiet, its walls lined with old bookshelves and maps of the underground territories. Laotaro poured two glasses of liquor and hand

Two days later. Hansen opened his eyes after absorbing Spiritual Energy to strengthen his body. At that moment, the door suddenly creaked open, and Hansen immediately went on alert. He stood up, peeking from behind the wall to see who was trying to enter his apartment.Without a sound, he held his breath, hiding in a corner. In a flash, he extended his hand—a reflex of a trained fighter.His hand grabbed the intruder’s neck.“Ugh!” a soft cough sounded—and the voice... it was a woman?Hansen pulled down the intruder’s hood—revealing Alyssa, her eyes wide with shock.“What are you doing here?” Hansen quickly let go of her, his expression turning awkward.Alyssa rubbed her neck while coughing again. “I just... wanted to see you,” she said with a faint smile, though there was clearly pain in her voice.Hansen turned his gaze away, feeling guilty. “But you didn’t have to sneak around like this. Good thing I wasn’t holding a

“You’d better go home. Being with me now will only put you in danger,” Hansen said seriously.“No… I’m even more afraid of going home,” Alyssa replied, her voice trembling slightly but firm.Hansen stared at her for a moment, then slowly nodded. “I’ll take you.”“Alright…” Alyssa finally gave in, though her heart resisted the idea of parting.Hansen turned around and grabbed a long coat from the hanger. He walked over and handed it to Alyssa without a word. Alyssa froze for a moment, then slowly lowered her head.When the black coat brushed her fingers, she realized—her outfit was too revealing to be outside at night. Her face instantly turned red, like a child caught doing something wrong.“Thank you…” she murmured quietly, quickly putting on the coat to cover herself.Hansen didn’t respond, but there was a faint smile she didn’t see. He walked to the door, checking the surroundings with his usual cautiousness.
Man From Another Wold Chapter 23: The Arrival of the Underworld King
Bang! The iron gate shattered instantly, followed by the screech of tires scraping the stone courtyard of Tavares' residence. About ten cars stopped in unison—sleek black vehicles that radiated an air of threat. Doors opened, and one by one, large men in dark suits and black sunglasses stepped out, forming a formation like elite military bodyguards. Among them, two figures walked in front. Laotaro. The King of the Underworld. His steps were firm, his long coat billowing in the night wind. Beside him, Alyssa walked quickly, her face tense. Both of their expressions radiated restrained fury—cold, dangerous. Laotaro stopped at the front of the courtyard. His gaze swept over the place like a blade slicing through flesh. Tavares’ men, who had just recovered from their frozen fear, approached with lowered heads. “I… I didn’t expect that he was the one who

“Aren’t you coming in for a bit?” Hansen asked as their car stopped in front of his apartment.Alyssa paused, her eyes gazing out the window at the night sky. Then, with a soft sigh, she replied, “Alright.”Hansen was a little surprised but quickly got out and led the way.They entered the apartment—a clean, luxurious space. A gray couch in the living room, a small bookshelf in the corner, and the faint aroma of morning coffee still lingered in the air.“I’ll make some tea,” Hansen said as he headed to the kitchen.Alyssa nodded and sat on the couch. Her hand brushed a small pillow beside her, fiddling with the zipper to distract from her nerves. This was her second time in Hansen’s apartment. The first was sneaky; now it was open. Even though the apartment itself belonged to her father, she had never visited—until Hansen moved in.Soon, Hansen returned with two cups of tea. He handed one to her and sat at the other end of the co
Man From Another Wold Chapter 25
The morning sky was clear, but the air felt slightly different. Hansen drove his new car toward campus—a sleek black sports sedan with an elegant design and a deep yet smooth engine sound. The vehicle drew attention the moment it entered the university gate. Some students in the courtyard turned their heads. A few stopped walking, whispering and pointing at the car. "Who's that? A new professor?" "No. Looks like a student too. But that car… Damn." Hansen gave a slight smile behind the tinted windows and turned the wheel toward the student parking area. But just as he was about to enter the nearest parking slot, another car sped in from the side, rudely cutting in and taking the space with a harsh screech of tires and a quick honk. Hansen exhaled slowly and stepped out of his car. From the other car, a man in an expensive shirt with an arrogant face emerged—Candra. His face briefly froze in shock when he saw who got out of the luxury car. "...Hansen?" Candra's eyes wid
Man From Another Wold Chapter 26
Inside the grand auditorium of Uraya City Medical Faculty, the atmosphere turned more formal. Spotlight beams illuminated the main stage, where several exclusive seats had been prepared. The main doors opened. Professor Leon stood among the faculty members, wearing a pristine white coat. His face looked serious, yet full of enthusiasm. Behind him, senior professors from various departments also stood in greeting. Confident footsteps echoed as a group of individuals entered the room. They were the Quantum Medical Therapy Professional Team—an elite medical group that had recently become a hot topic in the international medical world. Not only for their expertise, but also for their innovative healing methods, rumored to be the future of medicine. Leading them was a tall man with silver hair and sharp eyes. “Welcome to Uraya City,” said Professor Leon, shaking the man’s hand. “It’s
Man From Another Wold Chapter 27: Challenge from the Professional Team
After the intense seminar, the atmosphere at Uraya City’s Medical Faculty was still far from calm. Students exited the auditorium whispering to each other, talking about one name that had suddenly become the center of attention.“Hansen… that guy is fearless.”“I thought he was just a lucky dude hanging around Lauren… turns out he's sharp as a blade.”Meanwhile, inside the staff room, the Professional Team gathered. Dr. Ravel stood by the window, looking out at the campus garden that was starting to empty.“He’s too smart for his level,” he muttered quietly.Ethan, seated with arms crossed, stared straight ahead. “Too talkative, you mean.”“Don’t underestimate someone who can find flaws in your presentation,” said the bespectacled man who had previously defended Ethan. “And don’t forget the look on the professors' faces when Hansen spoke.”Dr. Ravel gave a faint smile. “If he’s really that good... why don’t we test him?”

Chapter 44: A Flash in the Darkness
The blue flash hadn’t fully faded when dust and alarms filled the room. The spiritual explosion from Hansen’s lightning summoning had severely damaged the security system. One by one, the light crystals went out, leaving flickers of fire from overloaded electrical panels.The first three guards collapsed, their suits emitting smoke—useless against the pure energy assault.Behind a one-way mirror, the head scientist—an older man with graying hair and eyes as sharp as needles—watched the monitor with growing alarm.“How did he break through?! That should be impossible without an assistive device!”The assistant beside him typed frantically, panic on her face. “Energy levels are rising… now beyond Foundation Stage threshold. It’s unstable… he’s channeling power from an external source!”“External?!” the scientist turned sharply. “What do you mean?!”“An external entity… something directly connected to the atmosphere! It’s like he’s drawing energy from the sky itself!”Meanwhile, amidst t
Chapter 43: The Listening Ear
Darkness still clouded Hansen’s vision as he slowly opened his eyes, squinting bit by bit. The scent of sandalwood and synthetic leather still lingered in the air. The car was still moving, its gentle vibrations palpable beneath his body.His eyes briefly scanned the surroundings—luxurious interior ceiling, dim lighting, and a spiritual metal partition enclosing the space where he was held. But none of that truly worried him.He exhaled slowly... and closed his eyes again.The sedative? Useless.As a Foundation-Level Cultivator, his body had long developed immunity against mid-tier toxins, including neurotoxic gas like that. But pretending to be unconscious was the fastest way into the heart of the enemy's den.‘Let them think I’m out. The more intel I gather before I act, the better,’ he thought.Several minutes passed in silence before Ethan's voice could be heard from the other side of the partition.“Yes, we’re almost there,” Ethan’s voice came through a phone call. Calm, yet seri

"Mr. Hansen, thank you very much for your help. I’ll handle the payment right away, and that’s enough for now. Let me take care of Robert. This is a family matter." Delia Asked. "Alright. Up to you! I’m tired anyway, I just want to rest," Hansen replied.Hansen was escorted home, and before arriving at his apartment, he received a bank notification stating his balance had increased by 50 million dollars.“Ugh, that’s quite a lot of money. I guess you could say I’m rich now,” he muttered as he entered the apartment.The next morning, Hansen woke up later than usual. His body felt lighter, although the spiritual energy inside him was still not fully stable. Last night’s ritual had drained much of his strength—not physically, but spiritually. He sat cross-legged on his bed, regulating his breathing, and slowly opened his eyes.That morning, after finishing his breathing and energy realignment, Hansen went downstairs for breakfast. His apartment was on the 38th floor, with a direct view
Chapter 41: Return to the Source
"Return… to the source of whoever sent you."Hansen’s voice rang out clearly, firm and echoing like the hammer of justice.His hand pressed down on the curse pattern, now partially unraveled. The once gentle blue aura now flared like spiritual flames, forming a spinning circle above the victim’s body. Instantly, the jet-black mark on the victim’s chest glowed a burning red and—BANG!A loud crash shook the entire room. Robert Vandrel’s body was thrown backward, slamming hard into the wall as the large painting behind him fell and struck his shoulder.Delia Vandrel stood in shock. Her eyes widened, and her breath caught. She turned slowly from Hansen to her uncle, now collapsed on the floor.“No way…” she muttered.But her heart already knew—the truth was undeniable. Hansen’s spiritual technique couldn’t have attacked an ordinary person… unless the caster’s soul was tied into the curse.She stared straight at her uncl
Chapter 40: Enemy Within the Family
The blue light in Hansen’s hand swirled slowly above the victim’s body. A burnt scent began to rise as the symbol on the man's chest reacted—violently trembling, then shrinking, as if terrified by the power about to erase it.But before Hansen could complete his technique, the door burst open with force. An elderly man in an expensive suit and piercing gaze entered with authoritative steps.“Delia, stop. What are you doing with this random young man?”Hansen slowly lowered his hand, staring at the man without a word.Delia turned around, her face unchanged—cold and calm.“Uncle, he has a name. Hansen. Directly recommended by Mr. Laotaro,” Delia said.“Pfft, just a youngster,” the uncle scoffed, clapping his hands twice. “Look who I brought. He’s a Geomancy Expert who has aided noble families in seven countries. Compared to this boy, he’s more than enough.”Heavy footsteps echoed into the room. A middle-aged man in a brow
Chapter 39: Another Curse
Hansen was on his way home when Laotaro called.“Mr. Hansen. There’s someone who needs your help. Are you willing to assist?”“What kind of help?” Hansen asked.“Let the person explain it themselves. Where are you now?”Hansen glanced at the quiet night road, the city lights reflecting softly on his car window.“I’m on my way home. About ten more minutes to my apartment,” he answered calmly.On the other end, Laotaro’s voice sounded slightly tense. “In that case, I’ll send her to you. Her name is Delia. She’ll be waiting in the lobby. She’s not an ordinary person.”The call ended.Hansen frowned. He had never heard Laotaro speak that formally—it was as if he were suppressing something much deeper.A few minutes later, Hansen’s car arrived at his apartment building. He stepped out, handed the keys to the valet, and walked into the main lobby.There stood a young woman—elegant yet mysterious. Her

"Ferdinan, I should go home. There's nothing for me to do here anyway. Thanks for showing me the world," Hansen smiled at Ferdinan, then glanced at Laura. "Call me sometime. I'm looking forward to our next meeting."Hansen walked away from the crowd and the banquet that, truthfully, never needed his presence.Meanwhile, hidden in a corner on the second floor of the same building, Candra stared at his phone screen with a sinister grin. Beside him, Farel and Dion were plugging a small square device into a laptop."It's connected to the building's security system. We can manipulate the CCTV," Dion reported, his fingers dancing across the keyboard."Good," Candra replied flatly. "Hansen will exit through the basement parking. Make sure the cameras there only show a static image."Farel added, "We’ve already tagged Hansen’s car. Once he gets in, we’ll activate the signal jammer. He won’t be able to call for help."Candra looked at bot

Chapter 37: An Unexpected ReunionHansen stared at the woman without blinking. The world around him seemed to dim. The sound of music, laughter, and chatter in the ballroom faded from his ears."...Laura?" he whispered.The woman smiled. A smile he once knew—genuine, warm, and a little mischievous."Still remember me, Han?"Ferdinan smiled in satisfaction, standing beside Hansen."Finally, you two meet again. It's been nearly three years, hasn't it?"Laura stood from her seat and reached for Hansen's hand."You... haven’t changed much. Still cold and mysterious."Hansen looked into her eyes."And you... you've grown up a lot."They sat together while Ferdinan gave them space. He looked at the two of them with a meaningful smile, then slowly stepped back, giving them time."When I saw you on stage earlier, I... was shocked," Laura said softly. "You stood there alone, but looked so strong. That’s n
Chapter 36: Candra's Plan to Humiliate Hansen
In the corner of the ballroom, still glittering with classical music and crystal lights, Candra stood frozen. His face was tense, his jaw clenched, and his eyes locked onto Hansen, who was now standing beside Fatmala.“Hansen... that sewer rat! How dare he walk alongside Fatmala as if they're equals,” he muttered lowly, full of fury. He clenched his wine glass so tightly it nearly shattered in his grasp.Some of Candra’s fellow socialites glanced at him. One of them—Erwin, a distant cousin of the Atmajaya family—approached with a sly grin.“You don’t like him, huh?” Erwin sneered. “But I bet everyone is surprised. A poor guy from the outskirts, walking the red carpet without getting kicked out.”Candra turned swiftly. “I won’t let this slide. He needs to know his place. Fatmala might respect him because of my grandfather, but I won’t just watch him stain this party.”He spun around and signaled to two men standing nearby—Farel and Dion, b
