Later that night.

Layla never returned to the room after the mishap.

Catherine, Denver, and Sheryl were eating in the kitchen.

“There’s no AC here,” Catherine said. “You might feel uncomfortable. Why don’t you go and book a five star hotel for the night?”

“It’s fine. I’m used to all kinds of places,” Sheryl replied while eating corn dogs and chicken fried rice.

Catherine made the chicken fried rice at home, but the other items were all ordered. They were all cheap and filling.

Catherine thought Sheryl would make things difficult for her just like Sia, but nothing of the sort happened.

Sheryl was a woman of few words. She didn’t seem any hostile toward Catherine in any form, even though Catherine did feel a bit of a threat from Sheryl’s gaze in the beginning.

Catherine’s intuition still told her that Sheryl couldn’t be trusted.

“Where are you going to take Denver afterward?” Catherine asked, nibbling on the meatloaf. “To his home?”

“Yeah.”

“Where is it?”

“It is in a different state but

  • CHAPTER 336

    Denver was stuck in the midst of two monsters that were the grandmasters of aura.When would one be called a grandmaster?The ones who mastered any of the core techniques would be called aura masters.Denver had become a master when he was 11 years of age. By the time he was 14, he mastered multiple arts.The ones who mastered the core techniques and then created their own techniques or improved the existing techniques were considered to be grandmasters.The Second Son Philip, who had created multiple martial arts of his own, was also a grandmaster, but his experience was still lacking compared to Golden Falcon who had lived twice as long.Golden Falcon’s aura was much more refined, and so he was able to resist Elissa’s aura at least for the time being.But their auras clashed inside Denver’s body.His body literally blew off steam as it also shook very much.Minerva’s eyes widened in shock as it seemed like Denver was going through pain worse than she could imagine.His situation see

    “How do you want me to punish him?” Elissa asked her daughter without any hesitation.“I was helping your daughter,” Denver stated aloud. “Why do you want to punish me?”Elissa glanced at Golden Falcon who was standing with focus, ready to act if necessary.If Minerva wasn’t around, Elissa wouldn’t have cared and attacked both Golden Falcon and Denver.But now, she had other thoughts.“I’m not sure how I should deal with you, Denver,” Elissa said. “You harmed my daughter but also helped her. With your ‘blood lightning’ ability, your ceiling may be high enough to rule Hawkers. You only bow to the king and not anyone else. I like that arrogant yet humble quality of yours. If it’s you, then you are somewhat qualified to marry my daughter.”“HUH?”Both Denver and Minerva were shell-shocked by it.Golden Falcon didn’t seem to dislike the idea so much. (Ho… I wasn’t expecting her to say that, but she’s a weasel, so her words can’t be trusted. She could just be trying to make Denver let his

    On the ground floor.Catherine had used her system to put pressure on the dozens of augmen and augbeasts. Some were stuck to the floor, walls, and the ceiling.However, as seconds passed, Catherine’s strength was weakening.This allowed the stronger opponents to break free from the pressure and attack her.Some attacked her from the front and some others from behind.Catherine remembered the time she fought the rat in the caves.Back then, Denver told her to feel the animal’s presence, which would allow her to retaliate even in the darkness.“If a car doesn’t have the rear-view mirrors, we can’t see the blindspots,” Denver said. “Aura also helps us like rear-view mirrors. But you can feel everything around you even with your eyes closed. With aura, you can eliminate all of your blindspots.”Thinking back on Denver’s words, Catherine closed her eyes and fought the augmen and augbeasts.She got punched and kicked in the process, but she didn’t lose her concentration.But suddenly, the a

  • CHAPTER 333

    The moment Denver moved the knife from Minerva’s throat, both Elissa and Borg moved forthwith.Elissa threw a straight punch at Denver, forcing him to defend himself.He thrust his knife at her fist.The knife shattered to pieces and Elissa’s fist struck Denver’s hand.Golden Falcon grabbed Elissa’s hair from behind and stopped her. Nevertheless, Denver got blown off his feet.Borg, on the other hand, didn’t go after Denver but pulled Minerva to his side and grinned.Elissa frowned, not liking the face Borg made. “Let go of her, Borg.”“I’m not going to harm her, but…” Borg released a needle from his finger and injected Minerva.“What are you doing to her?” Golden Falcon roared.If Golden Falcon hadn’t stopped Elissa, then Denver’s entire right arm would have shattered.“I’m just putting some insurance in her,” Borg said. “Now if any of Hawkers recklessly attack me, then the first one to die will be Minerva. No, she will experience something worse than death.”His words made Minerva c

    On the bottom floor, Catherine was guarding Sheryl while fighting dozens of augmen and augbeasts.She didn’t have the luxury to go easy on them as they were all pretty strong.Their objective was to kill Sheryl, and they used combination attacks and all kinds of strategies to get past Catherine.This forced Catherine to push herself and used a wide range skill that pressured all the augmen and augbeasts and crushed them to the ground.When some tried to get up by maxing their output, Catherine reversed the pressure and sent them flying to the roof.She sent some others crashing into the walls.Her opponents were thrown everywhere.But by then, Catherine was out of breath. “There are so many of them. I can’t keep them down for long. I can’t take Sheryl and escape as we are underwater.”She looked up.Though she wanted to go to the top floor, she had to look after Sheryl. Taking Sheryl and going to the top floor might put both in danger, so she felt conflicted right now.“Please get it

  • CHAPTER 331

    There was a lot of hatred between Hawkers and Falcon Group that only kept growing in the past, until Falcon Group quit most of their operations and dedicated themselves to auction holders and traders.Most of the young Hawkers didn’t really care about destroying Falcon Group, but the older ones still remembered the blood that was shed in the past.So, they would all be quite angry if someone were to talk good about Falcon Group, much less make promises with them.And these people were all influenced by Eilssa’s arrogance.When Golden Falcon and the Falcon Group were going strong, she trapped him in love and wasted his time and her obsession with her caused an internal war in the group, which led to reduction of the Falcon Group’s power.After Golden Falcon realized that he was completely tricked and cheated on by Elissa, he went into severe depression.And this further weakened the Falcon Group.Nowadays, many of the Hawkers looked down on the Falcon Group, considering them to be quit

    Denver rushed over to check on Sheryl.She had a nasty wound on her gut. If not for her defending with aura, there’d have been a big hole in her abdomen now.Or, in the worst case, her body would have been separated into two halves at the abdomen.Denver took out a red pellet and put it in her mouth.He gently electrocuted her throat so that her muscles moved, and she ended up swallowing the pill even though she wasn’t conscious.“This should help speed up her recovery…” Denver thought.Three of her limbs seemed to be broken, and there were many other bruises and cuts on her body. He hadn’t seen her like this before.He removed his shirt and put it on top of her to cover her abdominal wound.Denver was still wearing a tanktop.“I-Is she okay?” Catherine nervously arrived there. She had seen blood before, but the way Sheryl crashed down from the ceiling shocked Catherine quite a bit.She still couldn’t take that picture out of her mind.“You stay here and guard her,” Denver said and lo

    Sheryl sucked in a deep breath. (Doing this will reduce my overall strength all the more, but Borg could be here any second. I’ve gotta take the gamble.)Sheryl immediately rushed toward the room where Minerva is.“I don’t think so,” Gray was rushing toward her, but she felt something and turned around.Sheryl’s clone was also rushing toward the bed where Golden Falcon was.“A-A clone? When did she!” Gray calculated that it would be more dangerous if Golden Falcon were to get released, so she immediately went to the operating system and pressed a button and maxed the output.Just as Sheryl’s clone was about to kick the metal equipment away, a strong electric field burst out of the items and struck her as well.At the same time, the real Sheryl arrived at the small room where Minerva was.Seeing Sheryl, Minerva’s expression brightened a little. “Are you here to save me?”Sheryl stared at Minerva for a second. (I can feel her aura. She’s not a robot but a real person. Assuming she’s not

    A couple of minutes earlier.On the top floor of the facility built inside the giant turtle.Golden Falcon opened his eyes, only to find himself strapped to some metal bench. His body was pierced with metallic instruments, so even moving a millimeter hurt quite a bit.He tried to use aura, but his energy was sucked away pretty fast.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Gray warned him as she operated the systems required to suck his spinal fluids.“Y-You are…” he looked around. “Where is this place? Where did you bring me? Where is Borg?”She pressed a button, and he was electrocuted.“We’ve tried so many times to turn the Falcons into drug addicts, but because of your presence, we failed to bring Falcon Group under our control,” Gray’s voice was full of coldness and resentment.She upped the voltage and electrocuted him once more.He coughed out blood, and his eyes turned red.“But now, after your death, what do you think will happen to Falcon Group?” Gray grinned evilly. “They will b
