CHAPTER 719
While Denver entered the castle, Natalia approached Sheryl who immediately had her hand on the hilt of her sword.“Chill, girl,” Natalia said. “I’m not here to fight.”“Why would I believe you?” Sheryl retorted.“Because I’m going to give you money,” Natalia smiled. “Lots of it.”“Money?”“Yeah, you wouldn’t need to worry about the taxes, either,” Natalia added. “You grew up in the Nameless Zone, so you don’t know how the world really works. I’ll introduce you to some damn good accountants who will help you get to that ten digit number before you hit thirty.”“Ten digit number? How much is that?”“A billion dollars,” Natalia’s smile thickened. “Interested now?”Sheryl squinted her eyes. “Why would you help me after I refused to give you Nightlaser? What are you after?”“You can keep the Nightlaser since you’re talented enough to own it,” Natalia replied calmly. “As for what I’m after, I just want the real talents to be on good terms with me. That’s how the organization will prosper. Y
CHAPTER 718
“You may proceed ahead. The king is waiting,” the knight in the golden armor stepped aside.Denver calmly walked past the knight, but he stayed on guard, despite feeling hostility from the knight.The castle was big, and Denver got lost at first, not sure where he should go.He eventually went upstairs.Another knight, who was playing a piano, pointed his finger in one direction.Using that, Denver managed to reach the royal hall.Two guards opened the doors and gestured for him to enter.And he did.Denver expected to see his father, but all he saw was a big curtain that blocked his view.Ingrid was standing on this side of the curtain, but his face was covered with a helmet that had three feathers in it.“It’s been a long time since someone managed to get here during their first visit,” Ingrid said.“In a long time?”“All the rankers who came to meet His Majesty for the first time would be told to go back and come later when they get notified,” Ingrid stated. “And if they were to qu
CHAPTER 717
“You fought Mickey. That was brave, but quite reckless if you ask me,” Natalia told Denver as they walked together. “Survival isn’t about strength, boy. It’s about knowing who to lean on when your legs give out.”Denver smiled. “I already have a shoulder to lean on.”Natalia smiled without warmth. “You must mean Sheryl. She’s young and smart, but her shoulders won’t be able to bear your weight. There will come a time when you’ll need wiser shoulders.”“Like yours?”Natalia grinned a tad bit warmer.“Your shoulder looks frailer than Sheryl’s, though,” he stated.Natalia’s steps slowed half a breath, but she chuckled, low and gravelly. “Sharp tongues stop people from climbing to the top.”“Blunt knives can be held carelessly, licked even,” Denver retorted. “But sharp knives decide where and when the cut goes.”Natalia turned her head half way toward him, smiling, eyes not so calm. “And where does your cut go?”“Where there’s no respect,” Denver replied.Natalia went silent.Soon, they r
CHAPTER 716
Doula’s funeral took place that day in Hawkyard which used to be called Bully Woods.The name of this region was officialized by the council, so nobody had any complaints.Hundreds of rankers visited the funeral, mostly because they wanted to meet and greet the members of the council.And so many of the rankers got their eyes on Denver because the word of mouth had already spread that he defeated the current tenth ranker Brook.It was only a matter of time before Denver would be officially considered the tenth ranker. So, everybody wanted to get a good look at him.Denver’s height was abnormal for someone his age. He did not look like a child, but still, many gossiped that he won the fight against Brook by a fluke.Nicole didn’t just stay put when she heard that. While serving drinks to everyone and promoting her own bar, she said, “Don’t you guys remember the red lightning bolts you saw streaking through the sky? That was Denver’s work.”“EHH?” many rankers, even the high rankers, we
CHAPTER 715
Denver and Sheryl returned to Bully Woods.Seeing Denver’s condition, Brook got a sudden change of mind and attacked him with a fierce technique where he tried to hack both Denver and Sheryl by swinging his entire arm as if it were a sword.“Severing Arc!”His attack was meant to cleave from Denver’s left shoulder down to Sheryl’s right hip.Sheryl swiftly unsheathed her sword and sliced through his arm in one go.Brook still immediately attacked Sheryl’s face with the other hand. He was so quick she could not react.But Denver’s clawing hand grabbed Brook’s wrist and snapped it.This bought Sheryl enough time to kick Brook away.Nicole rushed over and stopped Brook. “Wasn’t the beating enough?”Brook, however, was still glaring at Denver. Even after losing an arm, he still didn’t want to waste this chance of killing him.The hatred in his eyes surprised Denver.“I didn’t actively seek conflict with you,” Denver said. “I only wanted to reshape a wasted portion of Hawk Park called Bull
CHAPTER 714
Garrett’s punches were packed with raw power and ruthless precision. His goal wasn’t to make his opponent cry water but blood.Denver was under a true pump.But this wasn’t the first time he was dancing at death’s door.In fact, these were the times when his heart pumped stronger than it was ever supposed to.His knees kept dipping every time he blocked one of the monstrous hits that slammed down onto him like a collapsing wall.He could hear his heart hammering.Once.Twice.Ten times in a couple of seconds.And it kept accelerating as though a frantic drumline locked inside his chest.Something within him sparked.Crimson sparks snapped through his veins, crawling along arteries, biting into muscle, stitching him together with raw defiance.A strong bust of lightning energy came out of his body, pushing the very space around him.Garrett’s fist as well as his whole body was pushed back. He was forced to momentarily close his eyes.The crimson streaks were so thick and strong they wa
