The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 14
Henry received a call from David of the Clarke family. He was the brother of Sage Clarke who owned the company.Denver turned to face Henry. (That was fast.)Henry quickly answered the call, “S-Sir David. How are you doing?”“Henry Burner,” David’s voice was heavy and icy,“You don’t have to be in charge of the construction project anymore. And you’re going to be prosecuted for cutting corners in previous projects, too.”“W-What?” Henry’s heart sank into his stomach. “Sir, I thought we were close?”“You fool! You shouldn’t have offended someone who’s out of your league. "Now, there’s nothing I can do for you. If you want to keep your place, then beg that person you pissed off.”The call ended.Henry looked quite confused. Who did he offend? He couldn’t help but look in the direction of Jeremy and Denver. Was it one of those two? No, how could it be them?!Denver raised his mobile and continued talking with Bianca.“It’s done, Mr. Denver,” Bianca said. “He lost his job, and he will

“If she wants, she will come visit you tomorrow,” Denver told her and then ended the call.Subrina couldn’t believe it. “D-Did he just hung up on me? How dare he… I must teach him a lesson.”“Don’t worry, Mom,” Diane, who was in the background, smiled. “I already took care of it. Both of them will be shocked when they see it.”“What did you do?”“You will know soon.”Subrina started to shake her head as she sat next to her daughter. “I don’t get it no matter how much I think about it. How can Catherine like that loser?”“She’s naive, that’s why.”“Haah,” Subrina could only sigh deeply. “We have to get her to change her mind.”Diane didn’t say anything but was just smiling.Meanwhile, Denver reached the hospital and paid the bill for both his and Catherine’s treatment using the card. He received a twenty percent discount because the Den bank was one of the shareholders of the Spring hospital.As they were going home, Catherine was watching him and smiling.“What?” Denver cluelessly as

The next morning.Denver and Catherine went to the police station to file a complaint on Stephen Creamer. However, the police were not showing any interest, even after Catherine had tried to explain that her pool resort got demolished and that her livelihood was destroyed.One of the police officers took Denver to the side and warned him, “Stephen is not someone you people want to mess with." "Even if you manage to file a case in the court and win, he’s going to come out on bail in a couple of days.""What do you think he’ll do after coming out? He’ll ruin your lives completely.""So, take that girl and leave before you hurt yourself even more.”Denver was not expecting much before coming to the station, but the way the police heartlessly treated Catherine, a victim, was hard to swallow for him. He had seen many unfair things in life in the past three years. But this event was personal, so it hit him extra hard.As the police were not taking her seriously, Catherine said she woul

The massage parlor was a haven of restfulness and tranquility. Its walls adorned with soft hues and the scent of fresh blooms hovering in the air.However, after entering the parlor, many female workers were giving Denver strange looks. Denver didn’t understand why at first.This was the main branch. Diane didn’t work here, so these women shouldn’t know him. So, why were they giving him not-so-normal looks?Denver soon reached the conclusion that it was probably because he was wearing an ordinary shirt and pants.Even when he was walking the CEO, how could they judge him by his clothes?Ignoring these women, he entered the CEO’s office on the third floor. There were two rooms inside the office. In the main room, a soft jazz melody floated from hidden speakers, creating a soothing ambiance.In the second room, a guest room, Denver could see someone watching the television. This was his first time seeing that person, but for some reason he felt like he had seen him before.“Who’s

“Say the words, and I’ll consider making you the gate guard,” Stephen continued to trash-talk Denver. “Given your previous job, this guard job can be considered an upgrade.”Even though Stephen said that, it was obvious that Stephen wasn’t actually trying to help Denver but was just humiliating him.Despite the anger and frustration rising up Denver’s heart, he feared for Catherine’s safety.So, he ended up lowering his head and said, “It’s an honor to meet you, CEO Stephen.”Diane and other workers were surprised to hear that.“CEO?” Some workers wondered why Denver called him that. “Are you the CEO of some company?”“Actually, he’s going to become the CEO of Pinkness,” Diane quickly answered, her voice flowing with pride.“What?” the expressions on the workers’ faces quickly changed. Unlike Denver who was in normal attire, Stephen was dressed up well. One would believe it if he were to say he was the son of some rich guy.“Please come and sit down, sir.”“Do you need any dr
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 19
A man wearing an old shirt and jeans. His hands were calloused, and his skin bronzed from hours under the sun as a construction worker, but it kept him grounded. Denver, having lost his memories and relied completely on his uncle, knew loneliness and poverty like the back of his hand.His uncle did help him, but he always felt that something was still lacking. It’s like how a man who lost his parents would feel incomplete as a bachelor and would wish to marry as soon as possible. The same was the case with Denver. He believed that marriage was the solution.He had thought that marrying Diane would no longer make him feel incomplete. It may give him a life that would somehow transcend the struggles of his youth. But after she cheated on him, he came to the bitter realization that - what made him feel lonely was not just due to the fact he was unmarried, but also the truth that he lost his memories.It was this new-found hunger that was helping him push the betrayal to the back o

Diane’s face warped ugly as if she got hit by a dirty buffalo’s tail coated with layers of dung.“Y-You….”“If you don’t want to leave, the guard will come and help you,” Denver added, making Diane grit her teeth.“Aren’t you shameless? You stole my boyfriend’s card and bought this company!” Diane growled. “You think you’ll get away with it? We will file a court case and make you suffer the rest of your life behind the bars!”“Good luck with that,” Denver acted calm and indifferent.“There’s no need to go to the court,” Stephen said, glaring at Denver, trying to intimidate him. “I just need to tell my dad what happened, and he’ll deal with everything himself. You do have an idea who my dad is, don’t you?”“No, I don’t,” Denver said. “But I don’t want any unnecessary trouble, either." "So, if you still want your girlfriend to work here, then I’ll give you two tasks." "If you can fulfill any one of those tasks for you, I’ll make her the CEO of this company.”Diane’s eyes enlar
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 21
After coming out of the building, Stephen kicked an object on the side of the pavement to vent his frustration.“Can’t you tell your dad and get the diamond card blocked first?” Diane asked him.“The diamond card was given to my dad by someone,” Stephen made up a lie on the spot. “So, I can’t just recklessly tell him that it was stolen.”Diane frowned. “Then we have to get the card back somehow. If we have such a card with us, we can buy Pinkness back and do a lot more things.”“Of course. That’s my intention, too,” Stephen’s eyes were full of motivation. Denver appeared like a golden goose before his eyes. He wanted to cut open the goose and take all the eggs for himself, as many as he could.Meanwhile, inside the building.Denver still stood sternly, his hands in his pockets, staring seriously toward the exit. More than the fact that he managed to kick Diane out of the company, her betrayal still far outweighed. A rage continued to seethe within him, and a ball of hurt that

Minerva’s clone grinned and thrust her hands straight into his waist, right under the rib cage from both sides.Blood leaked from both corners of Golden Falcon’s mouth.“Sorry, Papa,” she said in a sarcastic tone as Golden Falcon bled from both sides of his waist. “I need you to lose consciousness, so let me put more holes in your body, okay?”Golden Falcon didn’t move.His face was full of hurt, even more so than how much his waist hurt right now.She kept stabbing him at the same two spots, but he didn’t let go of her.He reluctantly tightened the squeeze on her body and the sheer pressure compressed her metallic body.“Papa, stop!” she cried.But he kept going against his will.In the end, he completely crushed her upper body, and her circuits got all messed up.She exploded right there and then.Golden Falcon didn’t even bother to cover himself with aura.He got blown back from the explosion.He suffered bad bruises here and there, but other than that, he was fine.Nevertheless, h
CHAPTER 314
All seven horrors that were there started attacking Denver immediately.Denver didn’t fight back but kept dodging their attacks, and it wasn’t easy at all. “I don’t want to fight you.”“Then, you just have to bend your knee,” Yellow Tiger leaped forth and attacked him, but someone dashed in and kicked right in his face from the side.He resisted it, but still got blown into the distance.Catherine gyrated on her toes before stopping and flipping her hair back elegantly. “That kick felt good. Mm?” she glanced at Borg who was looking at her. “What? You need me to kill you in the face, too?”“You are the one who has the gravitas system…” Borg smiled like a Cheshire cat. “I should thank you for coming to me.” He got up to his feet and cracked his knuckles before lunging at her.“Gravitas Punch!” She quickly threw her fist at him.“All Seal!” Borg blocked her punch with his palm and completely neutralized it, leaving her rather shell-shocked.“W-What?”“You overestimated yourself, bitch,”
CHAPTER 313
Denver blocked Borg’s fist, but he was still blown off his feet and was sent hundreds of feet back.Denver’s whole body felt numb from that punch as it wasn’t an ordinary punch.Borg’s punch was accompanied with strong magnetic force.“Most rankers below 50 would feel dizzy and fall to their knees after tasting my magnetic fist, but you’re still standing,” Borg said. “You’re definitely strong, but don’t think I can’t beat you. I will do whatever it takes to make you spit out Minerva’s location.”Just then, Yellow Tiger arrived there and happened to hear Borg’s words.“Southern Guardian,” Borg smiled. “You came at the right time.”“Which one of you has Minerva now?” Yellow Tiger asked with a serious expression as he studied both their faces.Borg pointed at Denver.“If I had her, why would I be here now?” Denver retorted. “I came here to find her.”“Ah-huh, how did you figure out that I kidnapped Minerva?” Borg asked. “Do you have any proof?”“Do you have any proof that I kidnapped her
CHAPTER 312
Yellow Tiger, together with the horrors, was searching the tower from top to bottom.He saw a couple of clones of Minerva on some floors, but the clones were destroyed because they had fought Sheryl and lost.The horrors were live-streaming to Natalia.Seeing more clones, Natalia gnashed her teeth. “Borg… this bastard… it is a grave crime to say one bad word to a council member. How dare he create a clone of the council member without permission! Whatever reasons he may have, he needs to be punished!”“I agree,” Yellow Tiger said. “I knew that he’s been doing nothing but shit in this tower, but this is shit shittier than shit.”“Yeah. He’s biting the hand that fed him!” Natalia was fuming so much Yellow Tiger could feel the heat through the screen. “I am the one who let him be the head of the High Tower. The council gave him his position, and he dares make a clone out of a council member? Who knows how many more clones he’s making in secret? He needs to be captured and submitted to th
CHAPTER 311
After standing there and doing nothing for over a minute, Catherine still couldn’t move.Alex understood what she was going through and said, “Do you want me to destroy it?”“Why would I be okay with that thing’s blood on your hands when I don’t feel like shedding its blood?” Catherine asked him back.“Then let’s leave it alone.”“But…” Catherine imagined something that shook her soul. “What if it was your kid inside, and they were getting experimented upon?”Alex frowned after hearing that. “It may be hard, but I will still kill my kid. That kid no longer can become human after his genes are altered to that point. Killing him is the best thing to do.”Catherine took a deep breath. “But we’ll still be killing an innocent kid.”“We’re just doing him a favor,” Alex stepped past her and broke the glass vessel with his machine arm and then grabbed the little creature.It opened its eyes and began to hiss and growl and cry in both animal and human tongue.“You should turn the other way,” h

In the basement of the High Tower.Alex fought with all he got and managed to defeat some augmen and augbeasts, but in the end, he ran out of strength and had to hide in a corner under a desk.Alex couldn’t bring his breath under control.And he looked quite frustrated.“They are all so strong… I can’t beat them,” Alex was close to crying from stress.His past kept flashing in his mind.All the hopes his people put on him was something he could never forget, but wanting to do something and actually doing it were two different things.Alex wanted to crush the augment and augbeasts and raze through their ranks, but the reality was that his powers only took him so far.He had to hide under a desk to catch his breath now.And his whole body was hot. His tongue was dry. He felt so thirsty.He couldn’t help but remember his past.“If you want to improve your stamina, then get your damn breathing under control,” the old man from his village said as Alex ran around the streets. “Otherwise, yo
CHAPTER 309
The fighter jet was traveling at a great speed, but it was invisible and did not make any noise.It wasn’t just due to the advanced tech it was built with, but also due to the skill system that Borg used.Thanks to him using his skills to camouflage the jet and also ensuring that it didn’t make any noise, he was supremely confident that nobody would take notice.On top of it, he was flying the jet inside layers of cloud, so there’d be no trail left whatsoever that others might see.As a result, Borg managed to fly the jet over the eastern sea.“Don’t do this to me,” Minerva cried. “I don’t want to die.”“Everyone is going to die, so don’t feel bad,” Borg said. “Once I get the opportunity, I will send your mother and your best friends to the afterlife, so you can have long conversations with them forever.”His words made Minerva cry some more. “N-No, no, I don’t want to die.”She wanted to live longer than a hundred years. She thought she was going to live comfortably, so she never im
CHAPTER 308
“She’s a clone?” Denver’s jaw dropped. “What the heck?”He looked at the spot where Borg was supposed to be in his invisible form, but Borg was already gone.“Where did he go?” He looked around but didn’t see him anywhere.“Where is Borg?!” Golden Falcon jumped and flew straight toward the top floor of the High Tower.Yellow Tiger didn’t stop him. “So it was Borg who kidnapped Minerva?”He was having mixed feelings because he fought Denver needlessly and ended up losing an arm and a leg. At least, he didn’t seem to be in physical pain. Nevertheless, he was angry.He approached Natalia. “What are you going to do now? Do you want me to find that bastard Borg? Even if he activates his invisible mode, he still can’t fully hide from my senses.”Natalia, however, was finding it hard to respond. “First of all, if this clone was created by Borg, why would it betray its own master?”Her words made everyone think.“I bet this clone is tampered with by…” Natalia’s gaze shifted toward Denver, “no
CHAPTER 307
For years, Golden Falcon has tried to contact the mother council of Hawkers and many other important figures for just one reason.This was the same reason why he had met Denver,too.It was to get his daughter to his side.In the past, he had called Elissa a zillion times to send Minerva over to him, but Elissa only responded with one answer: Make the Falcon Group a subordinate group of Hawkers.He heard this answer so many times he grew sick of it and stopped requesting her at some point.It’s been years since he even made a phone call to Elissa.He had only seen the picture of Minerva because of Denver, but he never heard her voice or how her smile looked or what kind of a person she was.So, with a heart full of great positive emotion, Golden Falcon rushed through the ranks of warriors and slaves to get to his daughter.Yellow Tiger, who had been fighting Denver, heard the commotion and abandoned the fight to quickly appear in front of Golden Falcon.“Move aside!” Golden Falcon acce
