The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 25
A few minutes earlier.“I cannot believe that she actually destroyed the pool facility!” Subrina felt anger just thinking about it. “I knew she was crazy, but she’s become uncontrollable ever since Richard died.”“She needs to pay for this,” Catherine said. “She took some of Dad’s savings, didn’t she? Make her give that money to me." "Otherwise, I will never talk to you both, because you’re always supporting her." "That’s why she does anything she wants, without any limits!”Subrina quickly interrupted her."“D-Don’t talk like that. Both of you are equal to me,” "“Words are meaningless, Mom,” Catherine folded her arms and said firmly. “Prove it to me with your actions. Or else, I won’t believe you in this matter.”Subrina frowned. “But your sister… she will never give a penny of hers. You know that, right?”“That’s why you should force her.”Subrina said. “This house is written in her name, and we sold our old property. We have nothing on her. So, how can we force her?”“Aren
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 26
Subrina was utterly stunned to see what happened.Diane felt a stinging pain in her gut, but what shocked her even more was how her younger sister kicked her in her abdomen with no sense of care or concern. She was finding it hard to believe that this actually happened. But the reality was that she was now lying on the floor, grabbing her belly in escalating pain and frustration.“Catherine! How could you kick your sister?!” Subrina howled as she helped Diane get up to her feet.Catherine looked a bit guilty of what she did. Nevertheless, she still was angry. “Why don’t you also tell her that she shouldn’t talk without restraint? Denver is no longer her fiance,” She grabbed Denver’s hand. “He’s my man. I will not condone it if you keep disrespecting him.”Subrina was astonished to hear Catherine’s words. “Are you really taking his side over your family? He’s a stranger, Catherine!”Catherine’s eyes turned teary, the hurt in her voice breaking through her usually calm facade. “

As Denver was driving, he looked at Catherine’s elbow injury. “Should we go to a clinic?”“No, I hate the smell of the hospital,” she said. “I don’t want to go there anytime soon. I’ll just buy some ointment, and it should dry up overnight.”Denver smiled but not for long. “Are you really planning on distancing yourself from not just your sister but also your mom?”“She always takes Diane’s side,” Catherine’s voice contained anger as well as pain. “It’s like she’s in love with her or something. Why do some parents treat their children differently? My dad treated us both equally. In fact, I should say that you become his first priority more than me. Logically, I should be jealous of you…”“Haha, were you?”“No. Maybe, if Dad brought you when I was little, then I would have been angry, but I finished college by the time he brought you into the house,” Catherine said. “I think that’s the best thing he’s done in his life. He was proud of himself, too, that he managed to steal a good man a

At Sage Clarke’s mansion.He put his grandson to sleep by reading a story, and then came to his room. There were a few missed calls from his assistant, so he called her mobile. “Why did you call so many times?”“Boss, I did research on Denver and Cat Pools as you wanted,” the assistant replied. “Denver worked in our company for the past three years as he said. But it seems that Stephen Creamer is involved in the destruction of the pool property.”“Who’s that?” Wait, Creamer? Is he related to Edward?”“He’s Edward’s son, sir.”“Oh… I guess he didn’t have a good reason to destroy the pool property?”“I couldn’t get much information, but there’s something interesting I found out about.”“And that is?”“Denver is a diamond-card holder of the Den bank.”“Diamond card?” Sage’s expression changed. “Isn’t that an extremely rare card?”“Yes, Boss. I was shocked, too. Maybe he found it on the street out of luck?”“Haha,” Sage laughed loudly. “You think such a card can be randomly found on the st
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 29
The gun was inches away from Denver’s face.But the sound of the gun trigger also triggered a reaction in Denver’s face. His head moved back, and the bullet grazed past his hair and hit the wall.“You dodged that?” the officer frowned and was about to press the trigger again.The second officer immediately took his silencer-equipped gun out and shot the officer in the chest.Denver was stunned and confused at the same time.“Don’t worry, Boss. I work under Madam Sheryl,” the second officer said and checked for a mark on the other officer’s shoulder. There was a symbol of gun and axe crossing on the shoulder. “As I thought, he’s part of the Hawkers, but from another ‘kettle.’ I’ll deal with the body, so you go back to your room and act like nothing happened.”Denver didn’t know what was going on, but he heard some doors opening, so he went upstairs and told the ladies that everything was okay.None of them dared to check after Denver said those words, and they went back to their rooms.
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 30
Catherine told Denver that she’s going to find a job for herself and left the apartment after giving him the spare key.Some girls in the apartment asked Catherine about the sound last night, but she asked them, ‘what sound?’ They asked her if she fought with Denver or something, but she didn’t even answer their question and just told them to mind their business.Meanwhile, Denver cleaned the place first and was about to leave, but Catherine’s friends just happened to visit.They were all surprised to see Denver coming out of her flat. Two of them knew him, but the other two didn’t.“Is that a thief?” one of the girls quickly said.“No, he’s Catherine’s sister’s fiance,” another girl said, “though I don’t remember his name.”“Look how big he is. Are those real muscles, or is he wearing a fake body within?”All four of the girls were in sports attire as they were athletes trying to win medals for the state and the country. They all looked fit and healthy just like Catherine, though one
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 31
Denver came to Cat Pools.The Clarke company members were already clearing out all the broken rubble. The new manager was showing different plans to Denver. “Pick whichever one fits you for this place, sir.”Denver didn’t even sign the contract, so he was surprised to see how the Clarke company was rushing things. On one hand, he was happy for the work happening rapidly, but on the other hand, he was also a bit nervous that Sage Clarke might be expecting something from him in return.“I need some time to pick one design,” Denver told the manager.“Sure, sir. I’ll ask you again after we prepare this plot for the construction,” the manager told him.Denver then sent the design pictures to Catherine.She was sitting outside the interview room and was surprised to see the pictures. She called Denver quickly. “Why did you send me those dreamy pool pictures?”“Which one do you like the most out of all those?” Denver asked her.“Why are you asking?”“Can’t I casually ask you such a question?”
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 32
In Diane’s house.“You’re kidding, right?” Diane was also taken aback. “What do you mean I’m pregnant?”What sort of news is this right after she woke up after having a tough day twice in a row?“There’s no way this can be true…” Diane was lost in thought. It was evident from the shock on her face that she was not at all planning on getting pregnant. Who would even plan for such a thing before marriage unless they were utterly foolish or had some bad intentions?Subrina looked even more upset and horrified right now. If others were to learn that Diane was pregnant, what would happen to her family image?“Mom, do you really think I’m pregnant?” Diane’s forehead was growing in stress marks. Her voice contained nervousness.Subrina just kept staring at her daughter in shock.“Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re making me nervous,” Diane said. She had a relatively decent image in society, so the fact that she got pregnant before marriage will ruin her life. “What should I do now? Should

In Hawk Park.Philip was talking with someone through a holographic image. “I recently read a document. A man with twenty years of experience in the software field lost his job because the company thought that freshers would have better adaptive skills. Do you know what that employee who had many family commitments did after he lost his job at 48 years of age?”“Committed suicide out of shame, maybe?” the speaker on the other side, who was the prime minister of a country, said. “I mean, it’s embarrassing to take your resume and knock on companies’ doors when you’re in your thirties let alone in your late forties. Not everyone can ask their relatives or friends or acquaintances to refer them, either. So, leaving the world quietly seems like the easiest option.”“He didn’t commit suicide but started earning lower income in a different stream altogether,” Philip said, “and he’s the owner of his own small business now.”“How did he establish a business when he had many pending commitment
CHAPTER 325
“Heh, she’s going to cough and bleed to death,” Gray snickered.As the blue gas swiftly filled the room Sheryl was in, she waved her arm.Many fascicles of leaves flew about in the room, and the density of the gas lowered pretty fast.Gray’s eyes swelled wide open. “I-Impossible. She’s absorbing the poisonous gas with the leaves.” She quickly frowned. “What’s more, the leaves don’t seem to be changing color, which means they’re immune to poison. This is one sick ability. If she’s capable of this, what more can she do?”Borg was watching this on a projected screen. He removed his armor suit and folded his sleeves. “I will handle her, but be prepared for collateral damage.”“I will do my best to increase the defenses, Borg,” Gray was saying, but just then she received a red alert.The movement of the turtle monster changed.Gray, Borg, and Sheryl felt it without even having to read any messages.“Why is it heading to the surface?” Gray was utterly confused. “Did Green Fang do this? How
CHAPTER 324
From laser guns to ADE nets, Borg was able to control all of the electronic gadgets in the room.The only exception was the mobile in Sheryl’s pocket not because of Rose but because of Sheryl’s aura.“I can deal with the laser bullets, but is there any way for you to control those nets, Rose?” she queried under her breath.“No, they are not just simple electronic gadgets, and he’s securing them with nanobots,” Rose replied. “I can’t control those bots as they only receive signals from only trusted sources. Maybe, if we disguise ourselves well enough, we might succeed, but it’ll take time to crack their code.”“How much time?”“Indefinite. It could take hours or days.”“That’s not helping.” Sheryl created a bough of branches to push back all the ADE nets, but the laser bullets still destroyed her branches.She didn’t use aura in order to conserve her strength.Contrary to her approach, Borg let loose his skills.He started off with the 108 combat styles, which focused on the rabid move
CHAPTER 323
Sheryl didn’t wait for Borg to attack her.Rather, she attacked him first.She created a wooden sword in her left hand and a dagger in her right, both of which had been enhanced by aura.With a single leap, she closed the distance, and the sword sought to behead Borg in a quick diagonal slash.Borg moved his head to the side, but then came the dagger stabbing at his chest.Before he could move, the weapon struck him and put a dent in his armor.He still used that little bit of time and managed to jump back.“That was dangerous…” Borg’s expression changed.“Tsk,” Sheryl slightly frowned. (He calmed down instead of panicking. I guess he isn’t the Fourth Son for no reason.)“The double-dealing technique…” Borg said with a hint of arrogance in his tone. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But your aura is lacking…” he looked to his left and saw ADE nets. “It seems Gray troubled you before I got here.”“Don’t fret,” Sheryl replied. “Even though I feel like I’m having fear, I can still f

Author's note: Sorry, guys. I mistakenly uploaded this chapter for the previous chapter. I am uploading the previous chapter here for now. I will sort these two chapters tomorrow as the editors aren't available on Sunday. Sorry for the inconvenience.The actual Chapter 321:A few minutes earlier.Sheryl just came out of the High Tower and saw a cloud moving in a direction it wasn’t supposed to.“The winds are blowing north, but the cloud is heading eastward?”This immediately reminded her of the time when she, Denver, and Catherine used a cloud to hide and close in on the tower not long ago and successfully infiltrated.“Is someone inside that cloud?”She had no idea who could be inside that cloud or where the cloud was heading, but she took a gamble and followed the cloud.She released a thin branch and grabbed the cloud and hung onto it.In a couple of minutes, the cloud reached the ocean and took a dive into the waters without slowing down.The cloud separated from the hidden jet,

CHAPTER 320
“Yellow Tiger…” Elissa’s scornful gaze first fell upon him. “A guardian like you is unable to stop the rankers from doing what they want. But you’ve lost an arm and a leg. This is beyond shameful. You should just retire from your position.”“Ugh,” Yellow Tiger slightly lowered his head in shame. “I’ve got no excuses. I will meet the king soon and give him my resignation letter.”“Mm?” Elissa looked at Borg whose chest wound was deep. But the blood coming out of it was bubbling.It suddenly started to beep and then exploded.Elissa waved her hand and the explosion got sucked into her hand and turned into a ball of black mass.Catherine’s eyes swelled out of her sockets. (D-Did she just cancel out a big explosion? How? What kind of power does she have?)“It seems I was tricked,” Elissa was staring at Borg’s body. It wasn’t moving anymore. “This is just a clone.”“A-A clone?!” Natalia and other council members were stunned. “Then the real one…”“He probably escaped through the ocean,” El
CHAPTER 319
The slaves of the council members didn’t even have the time to react.The same could be said for most of the council members.Even Yellow Tiger was a fraction of a second late to react.The two laser beams flashed at them.They were supposed to be struck dead; at least most of them.But an aqua shield formed above all of them and deflected the laser beams at the last moment.“Ngh?” Borg frowned.The huge aqua shield looked like a dome. It was spinning around all of them, and the movement made it easier to deflect the laser beams in tangential paths.It was cast by Natalia.“Borg, you have gone too far!” Natalia leaped at him and thrust her sword at his chest.She was fast, but Denver intervened and kicked the sword away.“If we kill him, we won’t know where Minerva is!” Denver blurted.Natalia was surprised to see that Denver had freed himself from the black energy ropes.“H-How did you come out of the ADE rope?” Natalia asked.“I just used spiritual aura, and it disintegrated the rop
CHAPTER 318
“You’ve got so many skills, Borg, but you won’t be able to defeat those who have polished the few skills they’ve got,” Yellow Tiger tried to roast him with words. “That’s because you mostly focus on acquiring new skills but not so much on sharpening those skills you’ve already got.”“It’s like having a wife who loves you and wants to be loved, but you show love to every other woman that comes your way,” Natalia added. “And you expect yourself to be called a great husband? Nope. That's not how the world works.”“But I never set my sights on marriage,” Borg replied while he charged his hands with energy as silently as possible. “As long as I am better than I was yesterday, I will keep improving. My graph only goes up, and in time, I will master all those skills I’ve got, and I will be more than capable of sitting at the top of the world.”“Hahaha,” the council members started laughing. “Technology sure can help create powerful things, but you do know that aura reigns supreme, don’t you?
