Hansen 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

"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

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

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
Man From Another Wold 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

"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
Man From Another Wold 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.

Man From Another Wold 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
Man From Another Wold Chapter 45: The Arrival of Thorax
Heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor leading to the laboratory’s main chamber. The rhythm was steady, slow—yet each step seemed to compress the very air around it, making the remaining guards tense up instantly.From the dark corridor, a massive figure finally emerged.Thorax.Leader of the Western Black Tiger.Over two meters tall, his body was clad in gleaming black armor lined with glowing red veins that looked like molten magma. His hair was shaved close, and his face seemed carved from steel—expressionless. In his left hand, he held a black helmet resembling a horned tiger’s head.Two guards tried to speak, but their bodies trembled. Their fear wasn’t born from military authority—it was the fear born of reputation.He wasn’t just a crime syndicate leader. He was a former soldier from the living weapon project.Half-human. Half-experiment.Thorax stopped before the shattered doorway, broken earlier by Hansen’s burst of energy. His eyes scanned the wreckage, the fallen bodies,
