2024-11-08 09:09:53“I’m a nutjob, huh. Yeah, I was not able to see through you, so you can call me that,”
Denver sadly smiled, picking the ring off the floor.
It was a heart-shaped ring. Denver also had another such ring on his ring finger now.
The pre-engagement rings were worth around 500 dollars, which was not at all a small amount of money for Denver.
More than the monetary value, the emotional value these pre-engagements rings had in Denver’s mind was great.
They were supposed to be treasured for life, yet how could Diane toss the ring away like it’s nothing?
Did she really never love him? Not even like him?
Diane snorted and looked away.
“Hmph, go and find a monkey to put that ring on,”
Denver did not speak afterward.
As he was walking away, she went out of her way to say,
“Oh, I forgot. You have nothing in your name. Even a beggar wouldn’t want to marry you now.”
Denver did not talk back to them but just clenched his hands.
He just walked toward the main door, leaving behind a trail of blood drops on the white marble floor.
“Why did you say ‘trespassing’? I thought he bought the house?”
Stephen asked her while still smiling.
“That’s because this ISN’T his house,”
“My dad saved his life. Compared to that, what is this house worth?"
"He deserved what he got for not knowing his place, and hurting you.”
Diane said in a sly tone.
Stephen smiled.
“Thank you, sweetie.”
His eyes contained a trace of dark happiness, which meant that he was probably planning something bad.
Diane smiled back pleasantly.
“I should thank you, too, for giving my mom that million dollar check."
"She was all over the moon because she had never held a check worth that much. For making us happy…”
She came closer and whispered,
“I will make your little brother happy with my lips tonight.”
Stephen pulled her closer by the waist and roughly kissed her.
Both of them enjoyed it very much, not at all caring that Denver still didn’t leave the hall.
Denver’s gut twisted as he heard the filthy noises from behind him.
His expression turned stale as if his heart had gone numb.
He strode out of the house almost like a humanoid robot.
Wind blew past him, and he felt something that was in his pocket.
He took the box out. It was a gift he had prepared for his ex-fiancee.
There were exquisite diamond earrings inside.
However, right now, he did not want to look at gift anymore.
Without a shred of hesitation, he threw the box in the trash.
Beside the box, he felt something in his other pocket. He took the item out.
It was a bank card which was given to him by the pretty brunette he met at work that morning.
He had completely forgotten about this.
He took a good look at it now, and he could tell that it was not your regular bank card.
Made with quality materials, the card oozed out luxury and style distinct from regular ones.
It bore the name of a nationally renowned private bank, the Den bank, known for grandiosity and confidentiality, accepting deposits of tens of millions or more.
Denver noticed a strange but unique pattern on the card, identical to the one on the ring he wore when he was found and rescued by Uncle Richard.
“My past, huh…”
Denver remembered what the woman said earlier today.
This card could very well be a joke, but if it can provide answers, then it’s worth checking.
Can anything hurt him more than Diane?
As he approached the Den bank with suspicion in his eyes.
The security guard, who just woke up from his little nap, immediately stood from his stool and pushed Denver’s chest with the stun baton.
“Whoa, whoa, where do you think you’re going? You can’t enter the bank in these mucky clothes?”
“What’s wrong with my clothes? It’s not like they’re covered in mud. These are just an old pair I’ve been using for a while.”
Denver retorted.
the guard’s voice grew thicker, which disturbed the other clients that were around.
“I don’t care. Go back and come in decent clothing,”
“Stop kidding,” Denver tried to walk past the guard, which angered him very much.
“Hey!”
The guard shouted and pressed the light stun button and thrust it toward Denver’s abdomen.
Denver instinctively stepped back and dodged the attack, but his gaze sharpened like that of a tiger on a hunt.
“What’s with that look? You think I’ll be scared of you?”
The guard pressed the full stun activation button and raised his hand high.
“What’s going on here?”
An assistant walked out, his tone annoyed.
“Why are you causing a scene during rush hour?”
He noticed Denver, looking him up and down with disdain.
“What do you want?” he asked coldly.
“I just want to check the balance on this card,”
Denver replied, pulling the card from his pocket.
The assistant barely glanced at it before sneering.
“What’s this? Who would put a dumb pattern like that on our bank cards? You think this is funny?”
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the card back at Denver’s face.
“Get lost!”
He barked.

Just as the card was thrown in Denver’s face, Denver’s mother-in-law, Subrina, arrived at the bank in a taxi. She saw Denver quarreling with the assistant manager and the guard.She could even hear their voices. “Denver? What’s he doing here? That thick-headed bastard… is he fighting with the bank staff?” Just after she stepped out of the car, she received a phone call from Diane.“He found out about Stephen, Mom,”Diane said with no regret or pain in her voice.Subrina’s eyes widened.“WHAT? H-How? When?”Diane explained everything quickly because Stephen was still in the house. “In the end, I kicked him out of the house. He might cause trouble, so we should be prepared.”“A-Alright. We’ll talk about it after I come home,”Subrina said and ended the call before heading toward the bank. It was her first time coming to this big private bank. That was why she put on excess makeup, making her resemble an old courtesan of sorts.She came and flaunted the check that Stephen had given

“See him out with a stun baton!” Subrina’s voice was loud to irritate every ear out there.The manager regained his haughty demeanor and cast a sharp glance toward Subrina. That gaze alone warned her not to cause a scene anymore. “Do you want to be seen out with the stun baton?”Subrina stepped back twice in bewilderment.She could only grind her teeth and watch the manager take Denver to the VIP lounge on the first floor.“This way, ma’am,” the assistant, on the other hand, respectfully invited Subrina to his office. She kept cursing Denver as she went to the assistant’s room.The assistant gave a soft drink to Subrina which she liked. Of course, she didn’t thank him, because she believed that she deserved it.And the drink helped her body cool down a little.The assistant tried to personally process the check, but when he checked the balance of the associated account, his expression stiffened for a second. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Subrina who was enjoying the d

After Denver sat back on the couch, the manager poured wine to Denver. “Guigal wine. Twenty years old, and worth 12,000 dollars a bottle. This is only served to those who sit in the VIP lounge. I don’t dare drink it unless the guest tells me to.”Denver understood what the manager was implying, so he said, “You can drink it, too.”“Haha,” the manager happily smiled. “Indeed, sir. Drinks taste better when you share them.” He poured wine for himself and happily sipped on the precious alcohol.The manager took a look at the account details and was expecting to see a lot of money. But he was a little disappointed to see only a billion dollars in the account. “You have a billion dollars, sir.”“Pfft,” Denver spilled out the wine.“Mm? Is everything okay, sir?” the manager asked. “Was the wine not to your liking? Do you want a different wine? Cote Rotie? Or Rostaing?”“No, a fly entered my nose, that’s all,” Denver replied. “This wine is pretty good. But, sir… Did you say there are b

“You know very well who I am don’t you?”Stephen’s words made the manager frown. Seeing the manager conflicted, Stephen hiddenly smirked. In truth, he was no longer as rich as he used to be. His father lost a lot of money lately, but he was still a well-known and feared-figure locally.The manager knew Stephen’s father, which was also why he didn’t think Stephen’s father was capable of having a diamond card. But then again, the card might have been temporarily given to Stephen’s father by the real owner.The manager briefly glanced at Denver who had already entered the correct password. He wished he was able to see the account details, but because of the confidentiality, he was not capable of doing so. It would take too long to get permission from the headquarters, but the problem before him needed to be resolved as fast as possible.Because all the staff in the bank had stopped working due to this incident. The other customers were also looking and probably even recording the i

“Boss, will you give me permission to dispose of this garbage?” Sheryl asked.“Dispose?” Denver didn’t like that word.“Yeah,” Sheryl was still smiling. “Just give me a nod, and they’ll be gone from your sight.”Denver reluctantly nodded,“Just make them leave.”“Okay.” Sheryl then turned to face Stephen, Diane, and Subrina. And she briefly looked at the manager.“You haven’t answered my question yet, bitch,” Diane blurted.“Where did you rent the car! How much Denver is paying you for this act?!”“Shut up,” the manager raised his voice, startling Diane and others. “Madam Sheryl helped me once in the past. She’s someone who can buy dozens of lamborghinis if she wants, and you bastards dare to badmouth her?!” He glared at them. “Security, chase these dogs out!”The security guard, wanting to redeem himself, immediately activated his baton and jumped at them like a gorilla. They had to run out of the bank’s premisesStephen showed some resistance, but the guard did not spare Stephen

Sheryl stopped her car in front of the house and said, “I need to call someone, so you take care of your business here. I’ll be waiting outside. "We’ll go to a doctor to get your head wound checked after that.”“Okay,” Denver stepped out of the car with effort because he was a big man. He didn’t think he’d enter this house again so soon. But because he knew that Diane was not in the house, he believed that this was the right time for him to take the items he wanted.“Denver, who broke the table lamp?” a voice reached his ears.He stopped and looked to his right.A slender but sinewy woman with pretty bangs was standing at the kitchen door, eating a fruit-nut pudding. It was Diane’s sister.“You are silent, so it was you who broke it, huh,” Catherine’s gaze turned a bit cold. “Yesterday, you bumped into a flower vase and broke it. Today, it’s a table lamp. "You’re a big dude, so you should walk carefully. "If you keep destroying things every day, we will run out of things to de

Even after Denver lost memories, he got into some fights when they broke out during work. However, he never fought eight people.Naturally, he felt intimidated by the number of people that surrounded him. He may be the tallest guy among them, but he was still alone.Still and all, he spoke his mind, “Sheryl gave the bank card to me. If you want it, why don’t you ask her?”Stephen snickered. “Do you take me for a fool? Why would I ask her to get my card back?” He grabbed Denver’s shirt. “You are going to experience hell now for what you did at the bank. And then I’ll take this car and the green-eyed cutie, too.”Stephen tried to put his hand in Denver’s pocket, but Denver pushed Stephen back with both hands. It was such a strong push that Stephen was forced back five steps. In that process, Denver’s uniform buttons also came loose and fell, exposing his chest and part of his abs.“Beat him down!” Stephen yelled.All the eight men attacked Denver with their bare hands.

“Catherine!” Diane shouted at her sister from the jeep. “What the hell are you doing? Get away from that cheater! I’m going to call the police and get him arrested!”“Cheater?” Catherine was startled. “What are you talking about?”“He cheated on me, which is why I canceled the wedding and picked this great man Stephen,” Diane blurted angrily, lying very easily as if it was a natural thing for her. “So, get away from that ungrateful bastard! Even after our father saved his life, he doesn’t have any gratitude toward us. "This is why you should never raise snakes, as they come and bite us in the back eventually!”Catherine was stunned to hear her sister’s words. She looked at Denver. “Is what she’s saying true?”Denver’s face had a hardened look.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Catherine asked again. “That’s because he doesn’t have anything to say!” Diane growled. “That cheater must be kicked out of our lives. No, he must be put in jail, or he won’t let us live peacefully!” Sh

On another continent.In the headquarters of the Delta company worth over a trillion dollars.A long, white-haired woman was stroking her pet crocodile while talking to her clients. “You want my precious diamonds for half the market price? What gave you the gall to talk to me like this? Do I look that simple to you?”“Madam Elissa, please don’t equate me with the common people,” one of the clients, Jack Broad,who was a multi-billionaire, said. “I know full well that the value of diamonds is fabricated. It’s not even worth as much as gold, and I’m willing to pay enough for those diamonds. Besides, won’t you also develop from a relationship with the Broad family?”“Broad family? You think your Broad family is worthy of even licking the boots of the Nighthawk family?” Elissa replied.Jack frowned. “If you’re going to keep insulting us, you’re going to have trouble making deals in the future in this country.”“Is that so?” Elissa let go of the crocodile, which immediately jumped onto Jack

Denver was falling back, but he grabbed Yellow Tiger’s collar and smashed his head into him.The collision of their heads sent a shockwave and silenced their surroundings.A thick drop of blood leaked from Yellow Tiger’s forehead.But Denver’s face was covered with blood as he suffered a crack in his forehead.“If you’re looking for death, I’ll give it to you, brat!” Yellow Tiger threw a twisting punch that seemed to have twisted the very fabric of space. “Storm Fist!”Denver’s head was lowered, so he could see the fist coming.His feet responded, and he jumped back just in time and grabbed the twisting fist of Yellow Tiger.“Are you trying to lose both your hands?” Yellow Tiger pushed his fist forth and managed to overpower Denver.His fist went like a missile onto Denver’s face, but Denver moved his head to the side.The storm energy would have still hurt Denver if not for his aura nullifying it.Yellow Tiger repeatedly launched many punches.A few dozen of them in the span of a few

A storm-like energy completely engulfed not just the 81st floor but the entire tower.Catherine, Denver, and Yellow Tiger were at the center of it.Catherine was not able to take another step as her body was not moving as she wanted. The energy was so oppressive her knees grew weak.Denver, however, was still able to stand despite feeling as if his brain and body were swirling.“Eye of the Storm…” Yellow Tiger said in a tone that oozed raw power that quaked the very air all around. “Only two people have managed to escape this technique so far. One is the northern guardian White Phoenix, and the other one is the current head of the royal knights. Did you two pipsqueaks think you can run away from me and tell tales of it to others and mock me?”The pressure put on Denver strained his brain so much that a bit of the past flashed in his mind.“Boss, Boss!” Sheryl rushed over to Denver who just finished his mission of killing a deserter of Hawkers.Denver was gravely wounded at the time. “

Catherine felt foolish for blowing a whistle which didn’t let out any sound. “Is it a one-time use object?”However, Yellow Tiger heard the inaudible noise that wasn’t heard by normal people. “This sound…” he fingered his ear. “That whistle must work like Spy Horn. Who did you call for help?”“My boyfriend,” Catherine replied. “If you don’t want your ass to be floored, then you better leave before he comes here.”“Who’s your boyfriend?”“My boyfriend is my boyfriend. Who else will be my boyfriend?”Yellow Tiger raised an eyebrow. “Does she have a screw loose or something? Or is she acting stupid on purpose?”He immediately turned into a flash and closed the distance.Catherine barely saw his blurry figure and reflexively threw a kick at him.All she hit was his afterimage.The next second, Yellow Tiger was standing right where his afterimage should be.He had all the time in the world to strike Catherine, but he sniffed her and said, “Is your boyfriend Denver? I smell him on you.”Ca

“That black mass is going to ruin your body from within,” Gray caught Catherine’s face with her bare hand and uttered, “Laser Bomb.”A hole opened up in her palm and blasted forth a powerful laser.The attack went right through Catherine’s mouth.Gray thought she had won, but the laser bomb shrunk in size and was compressed into a tiny ball.“What the…” Gray frowned.Catherine coughed the tiny ball out, which struck Gray’s face and destroyed half of it.But then Gray’s face began to regenerate, and Catherine couldn’t believe it. “Even the head can grow back? Just what the hell did you turn your bodies into? You can’t call yourself human anymore.”“Yeah, I’m not human. I’m Human N.0.”A few years back.Borg promoted Gray to being his direct assistant, and she was overjoyed by it.She was expecting many upgrades as well, and the first thing Borg did was inject her with some liquid which looked black.“What is this?” she asked out of curiosity. “It looks creepy.”Borg smiled. “But you’re

On the 63rd floor.Catherine and Gray were fighting intensely, and Gray felt like her body had grown thirty times heavier.As a result, she was receiving more damage than she could inflict.“I have never seen anybody bend laser beams, and you even deflected explosions,” Gray said with much hatred oozing from her eyes. “What kind of monstrous ability do you have?”“If you’ve got any prayers, make them,” Catherine was looking to use her killer punch on her opponent, but she had to be careful before closing in as Gray could still use laser beams. “You’re not going to be leaving this battle alive.”“I’m not afraid of death. I don’t have any family or friends,” Gray said. “But the only person I work for in this world is Borg. For him, I will kill or die if needed. And today, I will kill you and all the other intruders.”“You can daydream all you want, but you ain't gonna be nothing more than my sandbag, girl!” Catherine clapped her hands as Gray closed in.The floor and the ceiling started

Yellow Tiger burst his way through the walls of the tower and entered the 56th floor.“Was it 56?”He stomped on the ground and destroyed the floor locally, thus falling into the 55th floor.“Mm?”He saw Deenver standing, putting his foot on top of the augman captain who had lost all of his limbs and was not able to regenerate.For a second, Yellow Tiger saw the king in Denver’s face.“Out of all the sons, you resemble the closest to him…” Yellow Tiger commented. “Do you know? When the couples are falling in love, they share more of their parents’ features. So the child looks more like them instead of looking like their grandparents or other relatives.”“What are you talking about?” Denver put pressure on his foot, making the augman captain cough blood out and cringe in pain. “Who are you?”“But you got more of your father’s features and not your mother’s….” Yellow Tiger smirked. “Then again, your skin color is closer to your mother. Your father isn’t as fair as you are.”Denver’s jaw

A few minutes earlier.Alex was brought into the laboratory by a group of four augmen scientists.“Are we going to make another augman out of this guy?”“No, we were ordered to remove his conscience and turn him into a ruthless killer.”“Then we have to operate on both the hippocampus and amygdala.”“While we’re busy working on him, make sure nobody disturbs us, Bulk.”“Sure thing,” Bulk was sitting by the bench, slurping on noodles. He was nearly seven feet tall and looked massive with his muscles hidden beneath layers of fat.He was called Bulk because he never cut his meals. So, he looked like a walking bison.Bulk observed the augmen work on Alex’s brain.They began to extract his memories, which were being displayed on the screen in a zig-zag manner.“So he’s from some poor village, huh. He’s never going to go back there,” Bulk laughed. “So he should thank us.”Just then, the glass doors slid open, and Sheryl entered the hall.Her eyes momentarily froze when she realized that it

Yellow Tiger bent his knees and leaped off the ground.He effortlessly reached the top floor and landed next to Borg.“Where is Denver right now?”“On the 55th floor,” Borg showed him the video feed. “He’s fighting my forces right now. Not sure what he wants, but I’d appreciate it if you can break his knees and take him away… Southern Guardian.”“55th floor, is it?” Yellow Tiger jumped off the balcony and clawed his fingers through the tough cement wall and slid down.Borg secretly smiled. “Yellow Guardian… he’s known for his ferocious fighting style. This martial art monster should be more than enough to deal with Denver. Once Denver is defeated, that’s when I’ll step in and take his ability from him. If I can get my hands on blood lightning, I can take my armor to a whole ‘nother level.”Meanwhile, Natalia used her coat, an advanced tech gadget, to fly through the air and reach great heights where a man was standing atop a cloud.He was a bald man with a rather sad expression on his
