The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 62
A few minutes later.The special police arrived at the hospital, causing the gang members of Edward to scatter away. The police chased them and caught as many as they could.Inside the hospital, in a certain room.Stephen was getting treated on the bed. He still looked upset, angry, and frustrated.His dad was sitting next to him, looking like nothing happened.The doctor was tending to Stephen’s wrists.“It’s just a kiss. You kiss strangers all the time,” Edward said, smoking a cigar. “So, why are you upset over kissing your father?”Stephen felt like vomiting just thinking about it. “What if he leaks that picture on the internet? My image will be doomed. Our image will be doomed. The Creamer family will become a joke.”“If he releases that image, then that very same day, his corpse will be hung at our fish farm, too,” Edward said.“What’s the point of doing it after the damage is already done?” Stephen snorted. “You should just kill him now, Dad!”“He’s not just an ordinary guy with
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 63
A few minutes earlier.Diane hid in her car as the Creamer gang members were caught and were being taken away.However, one of the police officers recognized her Corvette and told his superior, “Sir, that’s Stephen Creamer’s car.”Diane saw the officers looking at her, and she started the engine and drove backward. The police chased her on foot, so she drove away fast and ended up hitting the road’s divider. “Shit! Fuck!” She still tried to drive away hurriedly, but the police quickly surrounded her car, leaving her no choice but to squeeze the brake pedal.The officers were about to attack the windows with their batons, but seeing Diane inside, they stopped attacking.“Open the door,” one officer growled.“W-Wait,” she grew so nervous she couldn’t even open the door properly. It was as if she forgot how to open the door. Eventually, she took a deep breath and then lowered the window instead of opening the door. “What’s wrong, officers?”“What’s wrong? Why are you in this car?” the of

Diane’s mind numbed after realizing that it was Denver who had beaten Stephen in the Creamer club.Denver saw Diane and came up to her, with his hands in his pockets. “Are you wondering how I am still alive?”“W-What? No,” Diane played dumb. “Why are you in this hospital? Are you sick?”“Don’t pretend like you care for me, Diane,” Denver’s voice wasn’t cold, but it sure wasn’t warm, either. “What you did to me sure shocked me, but what you did to your sister is worse. However, you won’t be smiling for long.”“I wasn’t the one who destroyed that pool. It was Stephen,” she said. “I told him not to do it, but he did it anyway.”“You think I will believe anything that comes out of your mouth?” Denver calmly asked her back. “I’m sure you’re here because you are still trying to hook up with Stephen for whatever reason, but the longer you stay with that guy, the harder you will fall. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not saying this because I care for you, but for your dad’s sake, I’m giving y
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 65
On his way home, Denver met the governor at a restaurant.“Edward Creamer is not as big as he used to be because of his partner betraying him,” Gerard told him while munching on steak. “But he’s still feared by his peers, not because of his strength but because of his ego. Once he focuses on something, he sees it through to the end. And I’m sure his focus is on you now.”Denver, however, was looking at the steak on the plate. “Can I pack this and also order an extra plate of steak to take home?”“Of course, you can, sir,” the waitress politely said. “Do you wish me to pack any more orders?”Denver then picked a dessert and along with an ice cream.After the waitress left, he looked at the governor and smiled, “I know Edward is dangerous, but I already did something to keep him in check.”“Do you have some dirt on him?” Gerard asked. “Can I see it?”“Uh, you might lose your appetite,” Denver scratched his chin.“Oh, it’s that kind of dirt, huh,” Gerard rolled his head once. “Don’t spar
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 66
After talking with the governor, Denver personally escorted him to the car. “Please look into the dumpyard land I talked about, sir,” he reminded the governor.“Oh, I’ve already talked about it with the land management bureau, and you can consider that public land as yours,” Gerard broke the good news to him. “All you need to do is go to the register office and either lease it or register it, however you want.”“Thank you so much,” Denver went in for a hug, but the guard of the governor stopped him.“It’s fine,” Gerard stopped the guard and then shook Denver’s head. “It’s a pleasure and an honor to meet you. Though you’re so much younger than me, I wish I had your heart. I hope we meet again one day.”“I’ll be sure to meet you later,” Denver assured him.After the governor left, Denver came to his car.To his surprise, Diane was waiting for him, leaning her back against the black Mercedes as if she owned it.She showered a thin smile, but Denver didn’t reciprocate.The cool air of the
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 67
The sun was setting over the Salem city’s skyline, casting a warm glow on the buildings as Denver made his way back to Catherine’s flat.It had been a long week packed with pressures, and he was looking forward to a quiet evening with her.He imagined the two of them curled up on the small couch, watching some of her favorite shows, holding hands, maybe sharing a kiss, just enjoying each other’s company.Even though he had just spoken to Diane a few minutes back, she didn’t even cross his mind right now.If he wanted, he could have easily put Diane in jail for destroying Catherine’s pool property, especially as he had the governor’s support now.However, he spared some mercy for her and only got her fired from her job. He believed that Catherine would pay her sister back in the future.At Catherine’s apartment.Denver stopped his car outside the gate.The apartment’s guard was a female in her forties. She saw Denver and was shocked by his sheer size and looks, even though he was still
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 68
A few minutes earlier.Catherine finished cooking two items: butter chicken, and cheesecake.She then took a random romance novel titled Entwined Fingers from the shelves and opened it.She tried to read the book, but she couldn’t focus.She was eagerly waiting for Denver to come home. She wanted to call him, but she didn’t want to ruin the surprise.He made her car look new, so she wanted to cook a delicious meal for him, which was the least she could do.Even after Denver and Diane were told to marry by Richard, Catherine didn’t fully give up on him.Nevertheless, she has been mostly sad for the past two years or so.But now, love once again breathed life into every pulse in her body. The heartbeat of a thousand dreams echoed through her thoughts.As she exuberantly waited for him, there was a knock on the door.She sprang off the couch like a deer, rushed over to the door and opened it swiftly.Her eyes saw Denver and Sia’s arms wrapped together just for a fraction of a second befo
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 69
“You’re missing out, Denver. Life is too short to settle for such small, silent, and boring experiences.”These were the words that rolled out of Sia’s mouth.Denver didn’t think too much about those words, but Catherine didn’t feel the same way.Catherine felt that Sia was describing Catherine’s qualities as being small, silent, and boring.Was her chest small?Was she not talkative enough?Was her laughter not as pleasant as Sia’s?Was it boring to spend time with her?Catherine tightened the grip on the fork.Denver saw that and thought she might attack Sia at this rate.“C-Cat, you should eat,” Denver suggested in a soft tone.Catherine’s cold gaze shifted at him. “Don’t call me Cat. It reminds me of a terrible incident that happened at Sia’s home.”“Terrible incident? What’s that?” Denver quickly asked.“Sia’s family had a pet cat,” Catherine said. “When that cat was 12 years old, Sia’s family was having a big party at home. They left the cat at someone else’s home. The next morn

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 321
As the guards swarmed on her, Sheryl asked, “Is Minerva here?”“A dying person doesn’t need to know,” Gray was walking away. “I’m going to start experimenting on Golden Falcon. His genes will help boost our speed, I’m sure.”The guards shot laser bullets at Sheryl.She created wooden armor around herself, but the laser bullets were able to pierce her armor without a problem.On top of that, the aura dispersing nets deteriorated the quality fast, and this didn’t help Sheryl, either.Nevertheless, she used all her energy to burst at once in the form of wooden spikes, which slipped through the gaps in the nets and killed the guards that were all around her.All of them were severely injured, but none of them were dead as they were all augmented humans capable of surviving even with some of the vital organs gravely damaged.Gray turned around and was shocked to see Sheryl freeing herself from the nets.She didn’t break the nets as they were highly sturdy yet flexible. She was able to use
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?
CHAPTER 317
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
CHAPTER 315
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,”
