The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 70
Later that same night.Edward Creamer brought his son back to the home, a big bungalow which he had taken from a reputed millionaire after he failed to pay the debt in time.There were more than a dozen gangsters guarding this whole place.Edward personally helped bring his son into the house.“Dad, my arms might be broken, but my legs are just fine,” Stephen told him. “You don’t have to act like I might fall.”Both of Stephen’s arms were tied up in thick bandages.“You’re not going to come out of the house for two months,” Edward warned him. It was more of a threat than just a warning.“What about Denver then? If I don’t go outside, how will I be able to ruin him?”“Leave him to me,” Edward assured him.After Stephen sat down on the couch, Edward went to shelves and grabbed a pair of female sandals and started slapping himself on the face.“Tsk,” Stephen could bear to watch it.Those sandals belonged to Stephen’s mother and Edward’s ex-wife. Every time Edward failed to keep his word,

Edward’s hand instinctively reached out for his gun, but then he realized that his gun was actually empty.Still, he pointed the empty gun at Lark without hesitation. “Who the fuck are you? How did you get into my house?”“He’s a shareholder of Pinkness company,” Stephen remembered him. “Since you’re here, it means you want to cooperate with me in getting the company into my hands.”Lark didn’t reply to Stephen or to Edward.He came down the stairs at his own pace and then kissed the maid’s hand gently. “You can go now, dear.”The maid nervously smiled and then scuttled away into the kitchen.Stephen was grinding his teeth in frustration already, but it caused him more pain because he lost a few teeth due to Denver.It made him feel all the more sour.Lark sipped on wine and approached them with confidence and charisma as a gun was still pointed at him.“Don’t point such a scary thing at me, Mr. Edward,” Lark smiled gently. “I didn’t come here to have a fight with you. If I did, I wou

The next morning.Denver woke up before the sunlight spilled through the curtains.He couldn’t sleep because he was nervous as to what the two ladies were doing inside the bedroom.He didn’t get any weird ideas, except that the girls might pull each other’s hair and go bald.“I heard them quarreling after entering the room last night, but then they went silent,” he thought. “And then I couldn’t hear anything. Even now, it feels like nobody is in the room.”Eventually, he gathered courage and knocked on the door. “Cat, ahem, Catherine, are you inside?”There was no response.He knocked on the door twice.A few seconds passed, making Denver feel nervous.“Catherine!” He raised his voice, and the door opened.Catherine was staring at him without blinking. “Why are you shouting so early in the morning?”“I-I just wanted to see your face first after waking up,” Denver replied.“Really?” Catherine’s frustration vanished, and she let out an untaught smile. “Nobody has said such a beautiful t
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 73
Sia’s bright demeanor turned into a faint glimmer that morning. She didn’t look like she was after Denver anymore, but there was no obvious sign of defeat in her eyes, either.Sia didn’t talk much with Catherine, which made Catherine think that Sia was feeling the sting of defeat.Sia left the flat with a half-hearted smile.As she trudged out the door, her presence feeling lighter and less invasive, Catherine’s heart also felt lighter.She turned toward Denver and said, “We should get ourselves a new house.”“Do you want me to buy one?” Denver said.“No, not with that bank card,” Catherine quickly said. “I want us to buy a house together with our own income.”Denver sighed. “It’s going to take at least two years, and even then, we’ll need to take a loan if we want to buy a decent house.”“I know, but we have to buy a new house,” Catherine resolutely said, her eyes sparkling with resolve. “We can’t stay in an apartment like this forever.”“Sure, but I should tell you about one thing.”

At eight in the morning.Diane learned the password from the drunken bank manager and even confirmed it online. When she saw the balance, she nearly passed out in shock.“My goodness…” She covered her mouth with her hand. “Just how much money is this?”It took half a minute to count the zeros. Was it a hundred million or a billion? She wasn’t sure, but it didn’t matter.Tears of joy took over her soul.“I’m rich. I’m finally rich!” She started transferring the money to her bank account, but to her shock, the bank sent an OTP message to the corresponding mobile.Diane’s heart dropped immediately.“No, no, no,” she wasn’t expecting this to happen. If the account holder were to see the OTP message and deactivate the card, then all her dreams would evaporate into thin air.Diane desperately began to think of a solution using all of her brain cells.At nine in the morning.Catherine’s mom, Subrina, came to the food market. “How much are these lemons?”“Four dollars per kilo,” the vendor re
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 75
“I-I wanted to surprise you, Catherine,” Denver didn’t expect that she’d get upset over something like this.He thought he was reversing all the harm her sister had done to her.He thought he was making things much better for her.He thought she’d be happy and excited.Catherine put her hand on her forehead. She was clearly not liking this.Just then, a man in sixties, the neighboring meat shop owner from across the street, arrived there and asked her, “Girl, you seem to be building something big. I was shocked when the old property got razed to the ground, but who knew you were planning to build something like this?“Where did you get that much money? And why are you adding the dumpyard’s landing into your land? You asked permission for it, right? Otherwise, you’ll get into trouble later.”Catherine didn’t quite know how to respond.This neighbor used to look down on her because Catherine refused the love proposal of his son.When she was barely keeping herself above the poverty line

“Mom, what are you doing here?” Catherine asked, half as loud as her mother.“Trying to save you,” Subrina retorted, coming and standing between those two, “from this monster. That’s what I am doing.”“I’m not the father,” Denver was straightforward.“Bullshit.”“You know deep down in your heart that Diane didn’t even let me touch her,” Denver added in a bit of an angry voice. “We didn’t sleep in the same room, either. So, how can I make her pregnant? How can you even doubt me?”“Because Diane said so,” Subrina blurted.“And you believed her? Don’t you have common sense?”“She wouldn’t lie about something like this! I know my daughters,” Subrina’s gaze was full of warning. “And you should make up for your mistakes. Clear the misunderstanding between you and Diane. Then I’ll personally marry you both.”“HUH?” Both Denver and Catherine were shocked by her words.“Mom, have you gone senile?” Catherine hissed at her. “Didn’t you just hear what he said? He’s not the father. If you don’t tru

Subrina and Catherine left in the car.Denver talked with the site manager and told him that he got the clearance for the dumpyard.He wrote a check of 100,000 dollars and gave it to the manager. “Bring only the quality material. I will be overseeing things, so if I feel that you’re playing tricks, I’ll make you regret it.”The manager knew that Denver used to be a construction worker. “I would not dare play tricks with you, Mr. Denver.”“If I’m satisfied with the end product, I’ll give you a fat bonus,” Denver told him, making him feel excited.“I will work extra hard and make sure you’ll be thoroughly satisfied, sir.”Denver noticed that the manager gave him a promotion from ‘mister’ to ‘sir.’ “Just call me, Denver,” he said. “And you’re going to create the three pools just like it shows in the pictures, and also a special villa where four to five people can comfortably live.”“Of course, sir, I mean, Mr. Denver.”Denver had already seen the plans. There was a pool which looked like

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
