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.”
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 74
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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 76
“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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 78
Diane came home at nine in the morning.She didn’t look happy, even though she managed to get the password. After all, she couldn’t transfer the money because an OTP message was sent to the owner’s mobile.From what she knew, the owner of the account was not even Stephen but someone else. The card was given to him by someone else.This was what she believed.“If I don’t know who the owner is, then how am I going to move forward?” Diane wondered.Sitting on the couch, she kept looking at the card.Suddenly she saw the faint, thin words ‘Don Denver’ written on the card.“Wait, this…” her expression slowly but surely changed. “This name… is it the name of the owner?”She thought about it, but she never thought that Denver could be the owner.“If I ask the bank manager, he will give me the details,” Diane thought, “but that means I’ll have to go out on a date with him tonight and get him to drink a lot. It’s annoying, but there’s no other way.”Even though she had the card, she was not ab

Denver left the pool property and looked for a taxi, so he had to come to the market. He saw a friend, Samson, who owned a goods taxi, currently unloading items into the shop.Denver went there and helped him with the goods. After quickly finishing the job, they both slapped each other’s hands and tried to arm-wrestle at the same time.Samson was a big guy, but Denver still managed to beat him.Nevertheless, Samson laughed. “You are as strong as ever. What are you doing these days?”“Not much. I need to go to a wedding hall,” Denver said. “Will you give me a ride?”“You don’t have to ask, bro,” Samson punched Denver’s shoulder. “Get inside.”It was a twenty minute ride to the wedding hall.“Thanks for the ride, buddy,” Denver took his purse out to pay the money.“No, dude. I can’t take money for such a small ride,” Samson quickly drove away. “See ya later.”Denver could only shake his head initially but he smiled.Samson was a hard-working man, so seeing him made Denver feel motivated
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 80
Sia was talking with the groom and the bride. “I wish you two a bright future.”And then she leaned closer to the bride and whispered, “Tonight, you better give our friends a special wine party.”“Tonight?” the bride, Jessie Mason, was shocked. “No, I have to be with Fred tonight.”“Is your new husband more important than your childhood friends?” Sia tried to prick her guilty conscience.“I-I’ll try,” Jessie replied.Sia then put the gift box in her hand and then walked off the stage. Just then, she saw a tall, handsome man climbing the stage.It was none other than Lark.She couldn’t take her eyes off his masculine face. He wasn’t as tall as her, but his facial cuts were sharp, and that attracted her to him.Peter Mason personally escorted Lark to the bride and the groom.Lark gave them gifts, which Peter told them to open.They opened the boxes. The bride received a diamond necklace worth half a million. The groom got the keys for a black Ferrari GTS also worth nearly half a million

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

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

“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
