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

Lark just left Pinkness and was walking away.He remembered a conversation he had with Denver in the past on a certain mountain.“How long will we have to do everything he says? When are we going to fight back?” Lark asked. “I think we have enough power. If we start a war now… we will win.”“You really think that everyone who takes our side will support us until the end?” Denver asked him back while hacking trees. His legs were tied together in chains. His hands were also chained, but he was still able to move his arms together to hack the trees. “If we want a seed to grow into a tree that will touch heaven, we can’t throw manure in the sky. We have to put it in the ground. No matter how high of a result we want to achieve, we have to work at the ground level, Lark.”“Is that way you’re not even caring about going up the ranks anymore?” Lark asked with frustration.“A king can’t see the desires of his people unless he sits at the same table,” Denver replied. “If I aim to sit on the thr
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 55
At Harryfield hospital.Denver’s car stopped. He dragged Stephen out by his shirt collar.Stephen was crying in pain. “Let me go!”The guard who saw that quickly stood in his path, denying him entry.“What are you doing, mister? Let him go!” the guard growled.“If you don’t want your teeth broken, then move!” Denver warned.The guard felt intimidated by him and moved out of the way.Denver forcibly took Stephen inside.“You’re going to regret this,” Stephen hissed at Denver while frothing at his mouth. “My dad will surely kill you.”Denver didn’t respond. He took Stephen to a particular room.Stephen saw Jeremy in that room, his body covered in many bandages. Both of his eyes were swollen, and he couldn’t even see with his eyes right now.“Look at him,” Denver pushed Stephen near to the bed. “He’s just a mere low-level construction worker. He does the same heavy labor every day, and he doesn’t get the opportunity to do anything special. But he doesn’t let that beat him down. He showe

Catherine finished her interview and was returning home by foot. It was only a three mile walk, so she didn’t take the bus in order to save the money.Right now, money was more important than time because she had nothing productive to do regarding her career anyway.Catherine saw two lovers kissing on the road, and it made her remember Denver. And she smiled. “I gave him my first kiss. It wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be, but I will never forget it.”“You’ll never forget what?” a voice came from her behind. Catherine quickly turned around, only to see her tallest female friend Sia.“What are you doing here?” Catherine asked.“I finished my part-time job,” Sia said, but she didn’t look the least bit tired.“Already?”“Yeah. I only work for two hours. It’s a special job, after all. They pay me forty dollars per hour,” Sia said. “Anyhow, how did you end up with Denver?”Catherine was surprised. “How did you know?”“Yesterday, we came to your flat. He was there. Didn’t he tell you
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 57
“Hahaha,” Stephen laughed, despite experiencing the pain of broken wrists. “I can’t wait to see you get beaten like a dog by my dad. He ruined entire families of those who so much as stole a dollar from him. What do you think he’ll do to you who messed with his own son?”Denver was staring through the window, counting the number of people that were coming out of cars. “32 of them.”“32 what?” Stephen snorted. “Did you just count their numbers? 32 isn’t all. More will come. If you don’t surrender, they’ll destroy everyone in this hospital. It will become national news then.”“You’re trying to scare the wrong person, dude,” Jeremy voiced his mind. “Even at the construction company, we’re surrounded by many underachievers, but Denver was always working extra hard and extra fast to get things done fast. Watching him would always give me motivation. I still didn’t do risky ladder climbs like him, but thanks to him, I became better at work over the past couple of years. ”Stephen blew air t

“Are you going to stay here and wait until my dad arrives?” Stephen asked in a mocking manner. “You acted like you were going to deal with anything that will come at you, but now that you’re seeing the king of the neighborhood, you’re thinking twice, aren’t you? It’s not too late. Fall at my dad’s feet and beg for mercy. He might let you live after severely punishing you, of course.”Denver took a deep breath and walked up to Stephen who was sitting on the chair.Stephen looked up with a cocky, proudful smirk on his face.“It seems just getting the wrists broken isn’t enough,” Denver slapped Stephen with the back of his hand.Stephen spun and crashed on the floor, chin first.“Huhu, you slapped his lights out,” Jeremy loved what he saw.“He was being pretty annoying,” Denver looked at Jeremy. “Can you move?”“I can manage. Why?”“Just in case someone else makes it to this room, you shouldn’t be here,” Denver said. “If possible, go home. Take your daughter and go somewhere else. Keep

Fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting shadows that danced forbiddingly along the whitewashed walls of Harryfield hospital. The sterile smell of antiseptic hung heavily in the air, enough to upset any man into easily losing their cool.In the heart of such a hospital where chaos of a different kind has erupted, Denver was now ensnared in a lethal confrontation.Edward, the notorious head of the ruthless Creamer gang that ruled a part of the city’s underbelly, had a commanding presence. His eyes narrowed as they locked onto Denver, assessing the only figure standing defiant in that corridor.“A big body isn’t enough to fight against bullets, brat,” Edward’s voice was smooth but laced with venom as he put his hand under his suit and reached out for something. “You’ve got guts. I’ll give you that, but guts don’t win fights. Guns do.”The polished item Edward took out gleamed ominously in the overhead light.Denver recognized it at a glance and knew it was loaded with one of these

Yellow Tiger was observing the fight between Denver and Borg.“That punk released poisonous flames!” Yellow Tiger didn’t like it. “He doesn’t care about others’ lives. What if the council members breathe those flames and lose their minds?”The council members are generally more resistant to poisons because they were often fed rare herbs that would boost their health and strength.Nevertheless, Borg’s flames were not ordinary.They were living flames,which he could control, thanks to the nanobots present in the flames.These flames didn’t need a fire source as Borg could freely control them.They could burn for as long as he wanted.They could roast anybody he wished.And Borg made sure that those ever-burning flames concentrated on Denver and Catherine.“They can’t seem to escape from those deadly flames,” one of the mothers of the council said, looking up.“Don’t underestimate the lightning ability,” Natalia was saying, and something flew out of the flames and landed on the ground be
CHAPTER 316
Denver was hesitant to attack the seven horrors as it’d make him look like he was fighting against the council.However, when he saw Borg attacking Catherine, he didn’t care about anything else.His punches electrocuted and incapacitated the seven horrors.Natalia, who was watching that, was shocked to say the least. “My Horrors are not weak to electricity! He must be affecting their blood and messing it up somehow. His blood lightning ability is broken! It’s really annoying.”Her Horrors were not supposed to be dealt with so easily, so Natalia felt it a little embarrassing.Denver was rushing toward Borg, but the cloud beneath his feet turned into a water spear and attacked him out of the blue.Denver dodged it and kept going. But he briefly glanced toward Natalia who just manipulated that cloud and turned it into water.Neither of them said a word, but their gazes weren’t exactly friendly or welcoming each other either.“I should have got him with that surprise attack,” Natalia thou

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
