CHAPTER 411
Darrell and Bianca were leaving in their own helicopter.“I was nervous that we might see some quarrels and fights, and some murders,” Bianca said, smiling a bit awkwardly, “but nothing of the sorts happened, except that one fight where Denver sent the fat man flying into the stars.”“Haha, it went calmer than I thought,” Darrell didn’t seem as satisfied as her daughter. “We’ll find out in two weeks if we should take Denver’s side or not.”Bianca didn’t like those words. “I think he’s trustworthy, Dad. He had the guts to talk about his shortcomings and his goals, and he was even willing to deal without the need of written contracts.”“Yeah, that’s the scariest part,” Darrell opined. “We have to be careful since we don’t know his real intentions.”“I think he already stated his real intention,” Bianca said. “He wants us all to grow with him. I think this is a great opportunity for us. We should work with him whether he gets hold of the Black Hawk card or not. I can see ourselves hittin
CHAPTER 412
In the middle of the night.Minerva returned to her home and was sneaking into her room.To her shock, her mother was waiting for her in the room, eating bread dipped in vodka. Elissa didn’t look surprised at all, but she asked, “Why the heck would you come back so soon?”“There was nothing interesting there for me, Mom,” Minerva slightly raised her hands toward the ceiling. “It was boring throughout.”Elissa’s eyes reddened somewhat. “How can you talk so stupidly? I sent you there to rub shoulders with Denver, not for a picnic!”Minerva’s heart skipped a beat. “W-Why are you getting angry? I’m never going to marry anybody, Mom. I want to, but I just don’t feel the urge to marry any man when I see him.”“You don’t have to feel the urge, you fool!” Elissa growled. “You just have to pick the best one you can find.”“Even if I don’t love them?” Minerva quickly asked back, her voice trembling a little.“You think I loved your dad?” Elissa replied with a question. “Love eventually become

“I won’t hit you,” Elissa assured. “You have my word.”Minerva wiped her tears and slowly approached her mother step by step.“You’re going to put me through mental torture this time, right?” Minerva asked, still looking quite anxious. “It’s midnight, so let’s talk about this tomorrow, Mom. Open the door.”“But this is your room.”Minerva went silent for a second. “You should leave.”“How about we both sleep together?”“I’m used to sleeping alone.”“That’s why you’re not interested in marriage,” Elissa snorted in annoyance. “You can sleep all you want after I teach you, so pay attention.”“F-Fine.”“Look at this piece of bread,” Elissa showed her. “If you dip it in the vodka for less than a second, then it won’t absorb the taste of alcohol all that much, but if you dip it for longer than two seconds, then the taste of alcohol dominates the taste of the dough. So the sweet spot is somewhere in between a second and the next second.”Minerva was yawning.“Do you want me to flick another
CHAPTER 414
The night was colder than usual. The owls and bats were out and about, but the chickens and dogs sought refuge in the warmth of the shadows, where the biting winds didn’t reach.The moon was high in the sky, shimmering her light on every soul in sight.Nevertheless, the clouds thickly covering Rose Park made it very difficult for the moonlight to strike the rooftops and the streets.Denver and Catherine were walking down the streets, with the clouds hanging so low that they were touching the ground.Catherine grabbed a part of the cloud, pulled it apart and then rubbed it on Denver’s face.He grabbed her and threw her into a smaller cloud. She caught his hand and pulled him inside.The cloud was half as big as a small house, so both of them easily fit inside.“It feels like we’re in winter fog. It’s chilly,” Catherine said.“I’m here, aren’t I?” Denver hugged her. She was a step ahead of him and quickly went for a kiss.As their lips crushed against each other, a surge of electricity

Catherine spent longer than she thought with the people.She was relieved that they were all in a good mood and were happy even though they were placed in an underground village where they had to live by candlelight.She assured them that they wouldn’t have to stay in this underground village for long.“Once you go out, you can pursue the career you want in your free time,” Catherine said. “If you’re passionate about something, don’t hide it from us. We’ll help you.”Most of them weren’t even sure what she was talking about as they had never left the Rose Park, and so they didn’t know about many things of the world like pursuing a great career and what not.Catherine could only pity them.She also felt like cursing Denver’s dad.Later, when Catherine noticed Alex learning the martial arts from Denver, she also joined them and asked him to teach her, too.Denver told her she could learn it later.But Catherine refused him. She wanted to learn right now. Liking the fire in her eyes, Den
CHAPTER 416
Denver walked out of Sheryl’s home.Sheryl was waiting outside, holding a paper in her hand. “It seems the vice head of the Data Tower is dead. It means Philip took a big blow.”“Did someone kill him?” Denver asked.“Probably. It doesn’t say who did it, but it must be one of the rankers,” Sheryl said. “Not just anyone can break through security.”“Who do you think is the killer?”“It’s either Borg or Durk or Serena,” Sheryl opined. “Serena is least likely, so it’s either Borg or Durk. They have a lot of reasons to attack the Data Tower. Borg must want to get his hands on secret information, and Durk would want to weaken Philip to take his rank.”“We should be careful, too, since our powers are coveted,” Denver said.“That goes without saying,” Sheryl smiled reservedly. “The ones that attacked me… I have no idea who they were. I have never seen those techniques before. Whoever they’re, four of them are dead. But one escaped. The one who sent them must really want to see me dead.”Denve
CHAPTER 417
After Denver left the underground village, Catherine and Alex were practicing on their own.Catherine was getting it right one out of three to four times.Alex was getting it right one out of fifty times.“Uncle Alex lacks talent,” some kids laughed at him, which quite annoyed him.“Get away from here, you little scamps!” Alex barked and scared them into running away.Nevertheless, their comments didn’t quite help motivate him for all that long as he wasn’t able to produce any results.Eventually, he came over to Catherine. “Can you tell me how you were able to release the aura from your back muscles? If I touch my chest, I’m just ending up hitting myself with my own aura. And it’s hurting.”“You don’t release the aura with your left hand, you gather it in your chest and send it backward,” Catherine explained. “The left arm movement just helps in guiding.”“What?” Alex still looks confused.Catherine sighed. “Let me show you. From what I understood, Directional Arts is about moving f
CHAPTER 418
After Catherine left the underground village, Alex didn’t stop his training.Despite not having much progress, he kept at it.He remembered Catherine’s words, telling him that he might catch up to Denver’s level one day if he didn’t give up.Giving up was never in his dictionary. He always trained hard to improve himself.Now that Denver had started teaching him a martial art, how could Alex not give it his all and some more?He was willing to drain energy from every single cell in his body.As he kept training despite sweating buckets, many kids were astonished by his grit.Alex was so focused on his training that he didn’t notice Philp coming.The locals saw Philip, and horror filled their faces. They screamed and ran away in different directions.Alex looked at Philip and deeply frowned.Philip had already destroyed the wooden puppet guards without making any noise.“W-What do you want, sir?” Alex asked.He didn’t recklessly charge at Philip as he had seen Philip’s face before.“Wh
CHAPTER 419
At King’s Castle.With a release of aura, Ingrid chased away the sea gulls from approaching the castle. “These birds are quite persistent. They come here every night, for food and seeking shelter, but the castle isn’t made for birds. They should know that. If they test my patience again and again, I’ll end up killing all of them.”A royal knight walked over and gave him a paper note. “Green Fang sent this.”“Addressed to the king?” Ingrid frowned. Because Denver’s signature was on it, Ingrid was forced to take the letter to the king.Casil was in his room, resting on the bed, but his aura was automatically playing the piano in his room, inducing him to sleep better.Ingrid hesitantly knocked on the door.The letter in Ingrid’s hands vanished.Ingrid was surprised. “He teleported it inside, huh. I didn’t even see it happen.” Smiling to himself, he walked away. “I still have a long way to go to reach His Majesty’s level.”Inside the room, the letter opened while floating in the air.Cas
CHAPTER 420
A couple of minutes earlier.Outside the building looked like a hill from afar, one of the two guards yawned.“Don’t fucking yawn, dude,” the second guard warned him. “If Birka sees you, you’ll lose an ear or two.”The guard that just yawned had to slap himself multiple times. “Satisfied now?”“Yeah.”“How can you call that slapping when your cheeks haven’t even turned red?” A voice reached their ears, alerting them both.The guards took out daggers from their backs and stood their ground as they tried to locate the source of the voice.A bunch of leaves blew and covered the front yard, and Sheryl came like a flash, stepping on top of the leaves in midair.The guards managed to see her, but before they could react properly, Sheryl closed the distance and sliced their throats with crossed-arms, holding aura-charged leaves between two of her fingers in either hand.One of the guards helplessly collapsed to his right, but the second guard immediately gathered aura into his palm and burne
