The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 45
Denver arrived at Catherine’s flat but stopped outside and slowed his heartbeat down.He wanted to bring a lot of food for her, but because of Diane bothering him, he didn’t pack as many items as he wanted.Nevertheless, he hoped that Catherine would eat this food. At least some of it.Denver knocked on the door twice.“The door isn’t locked,” Catherine’s voice came from the inside.Denver pushed the door open.Catherine was sitting on the couch, with an iron rod in her hand. Her eyes were clearly cooking with anger.Denver put the food package and the car keys on the table. “W-What’s that thing for?”“Depending on your reasoning for holding that woman’s hand… I’m going to decide whether I should use this iron rod or not,” Catherine said.Denver touched the back of his head, remembering the moment her sister hit him with a table lamp. He might have survived a hit from a table lamp, but he might die from getting hit by an iron rod. The sisters really seemed alike in this regard.Denver
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 46
After the party, Gerard didn’t leave but instead went to the Clarke mansion.Sage welcomed him with open arms because he wanted to share alcohol with his old friend. He couldn’t drink during the party as it was his grandson’s birthday party, and he felt that drinking wouldn’t be appropriate there even though he arranged wine for the guests.Both of them were drinking in the living room on the first floor, with a vintage song playing in the background.Gerard put the gift box Diane gave him next to him.“Are you not going to open it?” Sage asked. “Let me see what gift they gave you.”“Haha, I’m curious, too, but let’s talk about something else first,” Gerard said. “Do you know Denver?”“The big guy you met at the party?” Sage nodded. “Yeah, he worked in my company for three years.”“Three years?” Gerard was surprised. (Is he doing a big mission that takes him a really long time? Still, three years is a bit too much. No wonder I haven’t heard of him all this while.) He couldn’t help but

Catherine was not able to eat all the food Denver brought. So, she called Denver into the bedroom.They ate together, and Denver was very happy, not that he got to eat but that Catherine seemed to have cooled down.“How did the interviews go?” he asked.“Ugh,” Catherine stuffed more food in her mouth. “Don’t even ask me about it. I thought I did well in every interview, but I didn’t get selected in any of those interviews! How’s that possible?”“Maybe, it’s because there’s a gap between your graduation and now?” Denver said.“It’s not like I applied for a senior level post,” Catherine retorted. “I’m trying for beginner level jobs, but the interviewers all act like they want study-smart people only. My grades are average, I admit, but I have a practical experience of running Cat Pools for over two years now. I thought I had an edge compared to others who are just coming out of their colleges, but what the hell? I was completely wrong. The companies are expecting so much from students fo

The next morning.Catherine woke up and came out of her room, only to see Denver sleeping on the couch. He looked so defenseless in the way, he sat with one leg on down and one leg above the couch.Catherine tried to put both the legs in a proper position. It wasn’t that difficult for her because she was physically quite capable. So she pulled it off without even waking him up. She didn’t stop there and went on to plant a kiss on his nose and then giggled for some reason.She hurriedly went into the bedroom and put lipstick on before coming out of the room quietly and pecking Denver’s cheek very carefully so that he wouldn’t open his eyes. And he didn’t.Afterward, she went into the kitchen and prepared breakfast. “I only have one interview today. Should I go or not?” She was feeling a bit tired and lazy because she had roamed a lot the previous day.Some time later.Denver woke up to a pleasant smell. He walked into the kitchen and saw a bread pudding.“Tada! A salted caramel bread pu

Denver’s friend, Jeremy, came to Pinkness headquarters, wearing a decent suit he bought with the money Denver had given him.Though Jeremy wanted to bring his daughter Cindy, he couldn’t do it since this was his first day, and he was still finding it a bit hard to believe all this was happening.When he reached the entrance, Joseph, the entrance guard smiled, gesturing to him to enter.“Do you know Denver?” Jeremy hesitantly asked.Joseph was startled and quickly got up. “A-Are you perhaps Mr. Jeremy?”“Yeah,” Jeremy nodded.Joseph quickly saluted. “Good morning, sir!”Joseph was not just surprised but also a bit overwhelmed by it. The guards’ actions did not go unnoticed. The workers also came out and greeted Jeremy inside. He totally did not expect such a reception. He received bouquets from all the workers and the manager.Robert, the former CEO of the company, personally received Jeremy and took him upstairs and made him feel comfortable. “Sir Denver told me to help you with gettin
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 50
Jeremy was tied up to a utility pole and was being beaten with a stick in front of everyone.Joseph and other workers of the company could only watch but not dare to step forward. Even the likes of Robert was just watching, so how could they step in and do anything?There were a dozen men blocking anyone from approaching Stephen or Jeremy, so nobody stepped in.Lark was watching everything from the third floor, wearing a look of indifference as though he had seen far more cruel things with his eyes.“I was supposed to become the CEO of the company,” Stephen purposely kept hitting Jeremy’s arms and thighs so that Jeremy wouldn’t die so easily. “Your friend Denver ruined it, and to add insult to the injury, he’s appointed a trash like you to become the CEO. Does this big massage parlor company look so cheap that the likes of you can dream of sitting in the CEO’s chair?”Jeremy was bleeding from his face, and from many other parts of his body. He had cried so much already, and he felt so

In the Creamer club, which was owned by Stephen himself.Stephen and Daine were dancing in the crowd, as the DJ played different songs. It was eleven in the morning, but they were all drinking and dancing and enjoying themselves, for it looked like a night inside the club.After dancing for nearly twenty minutes, Diane was tired. She went to a couch and ordered the girls who were sitting there to leave. They were annoyed by her, but they still listened to her and left.“This club is pretty good,” Diane smiled as she looked around. “Lots of girls here to pull men in continuously. They are earning thousands of dollars every day, but that’s only the front. They are using the girls to get the guys’ numbers and then suck more money out of them through relationships. By selling the items they get from the guys, they’re earning tens of thousands of dollars every week while only paying little money to the girls, just enough to keep them hungry for more. It’s a dangerous but brilliant tactic.
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 52
Stephen was checking his bank balance. There was a little over thirty thousand dollars in his account, and this frustrated him.“Tch, I have nothing but this bar on my name,” he frowned. “I have to get hold of Pinkness no matter what. That company will help me and my father’s gang to expand our businesses throughout the country. The Creamer family will soon be earning in millions every year and will achieve much more than we did in the past.”Stephe believed that Pinkness would be a much better place to use the girls to lure male customers and fool them into forming relationships with the girls, thus enabling the girls to suck a lot of money from the male customers. It was also possible to turn the female customers into high-end prostitutes or call girls or escorts or however Stephen saw fit.“As long as I feed the police officers and some politicians, no one will dare point their fingers at me. If they do, I’ll just cut those fingers off in public,” Stephen thought. “Diane did a very

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
CHAPTER 297
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. “
CHAPTER 296
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
CHAPTER 292
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
CHAPTER 291
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
