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 Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 48
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

In the outskirts of the city, at a ten-acre fish farm near the southern mountains.A bald man in his early sixties was smoking weed from a pipe while sitting next to one of the fish ponds. He had a big cyst on his left ear.“Please forgive me, Boss Edward,” a man was crawling at Edward’s feet, begging for his life. “I have two children and a wife waiting at home. If I die, they will not survive. Please have mercy on me.”Edward put his foot on that man’s head. “I forgive anyone except those who act like my friends and stab me in the back. Many years back, when I went home, I saw my wife sleeping with another man. She asked for forgiveness just like you did. She begged me to forgive her and give her another chance.”He put his hand to the side, and one of his men handed him an ax.“I gave her another chance. And guess what? Weeks later, I saw her in a park with that same motherfucker. That’s when I realized that you don’t give second chances to those who cheat on you.” Edward brought th

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
CHAPTER 310
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
