CHAPTER 441
Catherine didn’t want to lose.She had already pathetically lost against Philip, so she especially didn’t want to lose again, and not against some gatekeepers.Catherine’s pride made her want to face the danger head on even when it was the same as risking her life.As her bones cracked and her body got pushed back, Denver waved his arm.A thin streak of electricity buzzed past Catherine’s ear and penetrated through the shockwave and dispersed it, which caused the inner walls of the tower to crack everywhere.The two female guards looked a bit astonished by the fact that Denver was able to stop their combined attack without much of a problem.“Krgh, dammit,” Catherine’s arms were shivering, and her knees felt weak. “Just from blocking that attack for a few seconds, huff, huff, my body is at its limits.”“Stopping that attack even for a second is commendable,” Denver voiced his mind. “You did well.”Denver’s words somewhat softened the stinging pain in her arms.“But don’t recklessly ri
CHAPTER 442
Ilene rolled the dice three times already, and she got three different outcomes, none of which were one.Ilene scrutinized the dice. She poured aura into it and scanned it as deep as she could.With her ability, she could better analyze things than even many aura masters could.And she didn’t find anything wrong with the dice.After taking a deep breath, she said, “Can I use aura before throwing this dice?”Alita nodded.Ilene gently poured psychic aura into her dice so that it didn’t break. She then delicately rolled the dice so that the probability of ‘one’ showing up on top was high.However, the dice spun a bit more than expected and showed five instead.“Ugh, that was close,” Ilene tried once more, with extra caution this time.Still, the result came out ‘three.’“Whoa…” she looked at Alita. “Did you do something to this dice?”“You checked it with your own aura, didn’t you?” Alita asked back. “Does it look like it’s been fiddled with someone’s aura?”“N-No,” Ilene frowned and bit
CHAPTER 443
After hearing about her subordinates’ defeat, Ilene forthwith returned to her White Tower.On the ground floor, she saw her two cherished subordinates wounded and bleeding.They were both very disciplined fighters who had climbed the ladder of strength with hard work.Together, they could take on a top ranker, so who could make them suffer such a humiliating defeat?Ilene didn’t need to ask any question.She used the light in that hall to replay what had happened not long ago.Thus, she was able to understand how her subordinates were defeated.Ilene then approached them. They tried to get up to their feet to apologize to her for not stopping an intruder.“Don’t blame yourself,” Ilene told them. “It’s not that you’re weak. Your opponent was just more skillful.”Ilene then looked at the maids. “Why are you all just standing and not helping them?”Her rebuke made the maids quickly take action.Ilene then looked up toward the ceiling.Instantly, she traveled to the top floor.She heard s

“Light vs lightning… I wonder which one is stronger,” Denver uttered. He seemed to be willing to give it a try.“I’ve always wanted to fight you, Denver,” Ilene said. “Your rise came faster, and you made many people feel jealous. Despite being a Hawker, you didn’t keep your identity hidden. You became popular around the country by doing things on your own. You were a don to your enemies and a hero to those you stood for.“Envy and jealousy always linger close to the path heroes walk. Betrayal and backstabbing also always follows the path dons walk. You are going to experience both sides of the coin, so don’t blame me for saying it openly that I wished I had as much courage and success as you did. So beating you right now will do a whole lot more good for me than the other way around.”Her words made him remember bits of the past when they had talked before.Ilene had warned him about his previous girlfriend, saying that she was tricking him from the start. He told her, “I’d rather be
CHAPTER 445
“Did you see their clash?” Black Dragon asked while blocking the rising sea waves with an energy barrier and pushing them back.“Yeah, I did,” Yellow Tiger responded. “It only lasted a minute, but it was terrifyingly beautiful. If it had kept going, one of them would have surely died.”“Haha, that would have been cool to see,” Black Dragon laughed. Being the Guardian of the East, he felt like fighting both Denver and Ilene for disturbing the environment. “We’re going to receive calls from the presidents of many countries.”“Well, we’ll just have to do the usual then. Throw them some cash, and they’ll all shut their arses up.”“Haha, indeed, they will.”Elsewhere in Hawk Park.Sedrick and Lark were still next to each other.“How did it go?” Lark curiously asked. “Who won?”“The fight was stopped by someone,” Sedrick said. “I think it’s the Northern Guardian.”“Huh? That woman who doesn’t interfere in anybody’s business?” Lark was confused. “Why did she step out?”“I have no idea,” Sedr

“I’m trying to break your soul, but you’re trying to merely break my bones. That’s why you’re going to lose to me today!” Black Dragon put immense pressure on Denver with the thorny black whip which burnt through his skin, flesh and bones.“Krgh,” Denver felt immense pain as his aura was being restrained.There was something unusual about this black whip. It was able to keep Denver’s aura in check. It was abnormal, to say the least.“What kind of power is this?” Denver asked in frustration.“The power that your father bestowed on me to keep cocky brats like you in check,” Black Dragon raised his left hand, creating a flower-shape energy on his palm. He thrust it at Denver’s chest. “Stygian Seal! With this, it’s over for you!”“I don’t think so!” Denver used Black Dragon’s right arm to block his left arm from reaching him. He went for a kick in the nuts and successfully landed it.However, there was no pain in Black Dragon’s face. “You think I’d become a guardian with such obvious weak
CHAPTER 447
Black Dragon seemed perceptibly angry, upset and disappointed. “Why didn’t you get rid of him when you had the chance? You saw it yourself. He was running out of energy.”Mickey pointed toward the ocean.“What’s there?” Black Dragon looked toward the ocean, where there were thousands of dead sea creatures floating.In the midst of them was a giant dead whale, upon which the Northern Guardian was sitting and staring right in their direction.Of course, her eyes were still covered, but they could feel her presence and killing intent.“Alita…” Black Dragon frowned. “What the hell? Why is she stopping us from killing Denver?”“The reason doesn’t matter,” Mickey said and flew toward her.Within seconds, he closed the distance and landed atop another whale. “Have you finally decided to come out of your hut, Madam Alita? How about we have tea together?”Alita didn’t respond.“I’ll take your silence as a yes,” Mickey raised his hand.From Mount First, vessels flew out in air bubbles and reach

A few minutes back.Alex was sitting outside Sheryl’s home.He was vigilant, but his thoughts drifted and wondered about his past.His sister at six years of age was attacked by a wild dog, and her left leg and left arm were severely fractured.Alex’s parents took her to a hospital.The doctors assured them that they would be able to heal the girl’s injuries and make her run like she did in the past. However, the doctors also told them that it would require 4000 dollars for the treatment.Alex’s parents and the entire village combined their money, took debts, and then paid the surgery fee.But later that day, when they were allowed to see the little girl, they were all shocked to see that she lost both her left arm and leg.When they asked why the doctors removed the limbs, the doctors responded by saying that they did the best they could.Alex’s parents tried to file a complaint, but the police didn’t even let them file a complaint.Alex’s family returned to their village with great
CHAPTER 449
Seeing Catherine approaching, Lark loosened his fists and said, “Alex, give us a minute.”“Okay,” Alex went into Sheryl’s home and shut the door.Lark walked toward Catherine with a smile on his face.“I looked for you last night, but couldn’t find you,” Catherine said. “Where were you during the opening ceremony?”“I was taking care of some important business.”“What’s more important than the port’s opening ceremony?”Lark forced out a smile. “Unlike you, I also have things in life that don’t revolve around Denver, Miss Catherine.”Catherine was surprised by his response. “I can understand, but… you should have at least told us beforehand if you were going out on some work. Because you didn’t tell us, Sheryl had to work a lot. She’s so tired that she went into some recovering seed shell and hasn’t come out yet.”“I told you that I have life outside Rose Park,” Lark replied calmly.“...Okay, so are you free now?”“Yeah, but I’m wondering if you are okay with what you’re doing,” Lark s
CHAPTER 450
At Jamie Adler’s house.Diane was able to release aura while swinging the ax down, though it only happened once every hundred tries or so.Diane did not look happy at all because her nails were cut by Jamie.“Why did you cut my nails? They were so pretty! It took me years to grow them!” Diane complained while eating lunch with him.“Back in my youth, do you know what we called the girls with long nails?” Jamie asked.“Angels?”“Penny pickers.”“Pfft,” Diane spat out the food in shock. “You’re joking, right?”“No. The long nails really help pick up change off the street,” Jamie said while eating full eggs in one go.She couldn’t even see him chew them. It looked like he was just swallowing them.“Without those long nails, you look more conventional and easy-going,” Jamie opined. “If you want to attract good men, living simple is the way. More importantly, you can hold the ax better, so I don’t want to hear any complaints.”“Simplicity attracts simple men only,” Diane snorted. “I want h
