2024-11-08 09:09:29A quick, vicious punch to Denver’s face.
BAM~!
It was a super-solid punch.
Denver’s head twisted more than ninety degrees.
“And who did you call a clown?”
Stephen snorted, cracking his knuckles.
“Know your place, big guy.
"You’re not someone who even deserves to be around a beauty like her.
"Just being big isn’t enough. You need class, too.”
He had enough experience in boxing.
So even though Denver had a bigger build than him, he was confident in winning this fight.
Denver turned his head back toward them.
When Diane put her hand on Stephen’s shoulder.
Denver looked angrily and disappointedly at the woman who did something unimaginable to him.
“Let me show you what real class looks like!”
Stephen began to shuffle his feet like a boxer and got into his hunting stance.
As Denver took a step forward, Stephen swiveled and crafted a powerful back kick.
He thought would secure him a sure victory.
Because back kicks were so powerful.
However, Denver caught Stephen’s left foot thrusting toward him.
Instantly, he twisted it with such force.
Stephen’s whole body twisted!
He spun once, before he pathetically crashed on the floor.
Stephen cringed in pain because his ankle hurt.
He was very good at implementing his back kick, but it was countered so easily.
He lost a big chunk of his confidence.
“Stephen!”
Diane stooped down and checked his condition.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Denver, on the other hand, seemed surprised with himself.
He was surprised that he able to react the way he did.
He didn’t remember having such fighting skill.
Did Stephen’s punch set his muscle memory straight?
Seeing her precious Stephen in pain, Diane glared up at Denver, further slicing his heart with her needle-like gaze.
“How could you do this to him?”
“Diane, do you even realize what you’re saying now? What am I to you?”
Denver felt like crying from the swelling pain in his chest, but he controlled himself.
He was bleeding from the corner of his lip, but she didn’t show any concern about his well being;
However, she was visibly worried about Stephen’s sprained ankle.
“And who the hell is he? Is he more important to you than me—your fiance?”
Denver’s voice cracked in his throat.
“You…”
Stephen bore the pain and glared at Denver as he got up.
He could still fight if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to take that risk now.
“You’re going to pay dearly for this. Do you even know who I am? I’m the great—”
Denver angrily stepped toward Stephen.
Stephen didn’t have the confidence in fighting Denver anymore.
He kept stepping backward.
“W-Wait…”
Denver walked past Diane, keeping his focus solely on Stephen.
“I don’t care who you are. You ruined my marriage,”
The sound of his fist tightening was loud enough to send a shiver down Stephen’s spine.
“I won’t be satisfied even if I break all the bones in your body."
"Don’t think you’ll leave this house without paying for messing with my woman!”
BAM~~!!
Just then, Denver felt a sharp, stinging pain in the back of his head.
He slowly turned back, only to see Diane standing there, holding a broken table lamp.
It turned out that she had viciously smashed it on him.
The table lamp was custom-made by a designer.
It was far more expensive than what he could afford, but he still bought it for her
Because she liked it.
She told him, all the people who come into their house would be awed by seeing this table lamp first.
Now, as Denver felt blood leaking on the back of his head, he felt his breath turning heavy.
“D-Diane…”
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still couldn’t believe she would hit him like that.
He just didn’t know what to say.
His heart hurt just as much as his head did if not more.
The fact that she was still holding the table lamp raised wasn’t bad enough.
What hurt Denver even more was that he did not see the Diane he knew before.
There was no warmth or care in her face now.
Denver’s eyes teared up once again as his heart shook and felt squeezed from every angle.
He was hoping to spend the rest of his life with this woman.
But now, she cracked his skull and broke his heart to boot.
“Diane… put that thing down…”
Denver’s voice grew thicker, his eyes a placard of many emotions.
Diane, meanwhile, muttered under her breath.
“Why is he still standing?”
The sound of the lamp breaking made her think that he would definitely faint.
But he was still very much awake.
Denver took a step toward her and raised his hand to grab the lamp.
“L-Leave my house, Denver!”
Diane blurted and waved the lamp once again.
Denver’s hand froze in midair.
The broken lamp pierced his arm and made him bleed, but he stood there like a statue.
“Your… house?”
“Y-Yeah. Leave right now, or I’ll call the police for trespassing my property,”
Diane barked.
Denver’s face was filled with such pain his nose twitched.
Trespassing? In his own house?
He saved the money so they could buy this house.
Now, she was telling him to get out of his own house.
“Diane… didn’t you say you love me?”
Denver’s heart swelled with pain.
“You said I was the best thing that happened in your life.”
“Huh, you wish,”
Diane raised her voice some more, bringing out all the frustration.
All the frustration she had been keeping down in the depths of her heart.
“My dad’s the one who arranged the engagement without knowing my true intentions.”
“True intentions?”
“You can’t give me what I want,”
Diane coldly blurted.
“That’s a fact. You somehow managed to buy this house, but I’m sure you took loans here and there to buy this building.”
He didn’t buy the house with a loan, as he had sold his own ring away for it.
It was a ring with a special totem on it.
It had been worn on him since he was found.
“I bought this house FOR BOTH OF US, Diane,”
The veins in Denver’s throat stretched thin.
“So what? Just buying this one house already drained you.
"I want a nice car AND luxury clothes and many more.
"Can you buy me those?
"Do you have any penny left in your pockets?”
Her words cut through Denver’s heart, but she wasn’t done just yet.
“I hate living a poor life, and Stephen is someone who will make me experience that richness!"
"The richness you never could, nor you ever can,”
She spoke confidently.
“I don’t need someone like you in my life!”
“If I’m with you, a mediocre man, I’d get the mediocre disease as well."
"I’m calling our engagement off.”
Denver’s eyes broadened.
"By the way, this is not OUR damn house, it's MINE."
Diane dropped the table lamp, then removed her pre-engagement ring.
And threw it in Denver’s face.
"I don't want a nutjob like you in my house. Get the hell out of here, loser."

“I’m a nutjob, huh. Yeah, I was not able to see through you, so you can call me that,”Denver sadly smiled, picking the ring off the floor.It was a heart-shaped ring. Denver also had another such ring on his ring finger now.The pre-engagement rings were worth around 500 dollars, which was not at all a small amount of money for Denver.More than the monetary value, the emotional value these pre-engagements rings had in Denver’s mind was great.They were supposed to be treasured for life, yet how could Diane toss the ring away like it’s nothing?Did she really never love him? Not even like him?Diane snorted and looked away.“Hmph, go and find a monkey to put that ring on,” Denver did not speak afterward.As he was walking away, she went out of her way to say,“Oh, I forgot. You have nothing in your name. Even a beggar wouldn’t want to marry you now.”Denver did not talk back to them but just clenched his hands.He just walked toward the main door, leaving behind a trail of blood drop

Just as the card was thrown in Denver’s face, Denver’s mother-in-law, Subrina, arrived at the bank in a taxi. She saw Denver quarreling with the assistant manager and the guard.She could even hear their voices. “Denver? What’s he doing here? That thick-headed bastard… is he fighting with the bank staff?” Just after she stepped out of the car, she received a phone call from Diane.“He found out about Stephen, Mom,”Diane said with no regret or pain in her voice.Subrina’s eyes widened.“WHAT? H-How? When?”Diane explained everything quickly because Stephen was still in the house. “In the end, I kicked him out of the house. He might cause trouble, so we should be prepared.”“A-Alright. We’ll talk about it after I come home,”Subrina said and ended the call before heading toward the bank. It was her first time coming to this big private bank. That was why she put on excess makeup, making her resemble an old courtesan of sorts.She came and flaunted the check that Stephen had given

“See him out with a stun baton!” Subrina’s voice was loud to irritate every ear out there.The manager regained his haughty demeanor and cast a sharp glance toward Subrina. That gaze alone warned her not to cause a scene anymore. “Do you want to be seen out with the stun baton?”Subrina stepped back twice in bewilderment.She could only grind her teeth and watch the manager take Denver to the VIP lounge on the first floor.“This way, ma’am,” the assistant, on the other hand, respectfully invited Subrina to his office. She kept cursing Denver as she went to the assistant’s room.The assistant gave a soft drink to Subrina which she liked. Of course, she didn’t thank him, because she believed that she deserved it.And the drink helped her body cool down a little.The assistant tried to personally process the check, but when he checked the balance of the associated account, his expression stiffened for a second. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Subrina who was enjoying the d

After Denver sat back on the couch, the manager poured wine to Denver. “Guigal wine. Twenty years old, and worth 12,000 dollars a bottle. This is only served to those who sit in the VIP lounge. I don’t dare drink it unless the guest tells me to.”Denver understood what the manager was implying, so he said, “You can drink it, too.”“Haha,” the manager happily smiled. “Indeed, sir. Drinks taste better when you share them.” He poured wine for himself and happily sipped on the precious alcohol.The manager took a look at the account details and was expecting to see a lot of money. But he was a little disappointed to see only a billion dollars in the account. “You have a billion dollars, sir.”“Pfft,” Denver spilled out the wine.“Mm? Is everything okay, sir?” the manager asked. “Was the wine not to your liking? Do you want a different wine? Cote Rotie? Or Rostaing?”“No, a fly entered my nose, that’s all,” Denver replied. “This wine is pretty good. But, sir… Did you say there are b

“You know very well who I am don’t you?”Stephen’s words made the manager frown. Seeing the manager conflicted, Stephen hiddenly smirked. In truth, he was no longer as rich as he used to be. His father lost a lot of money lately, but he was still a well-known and feared-figure locally.The manager knew Stephen’s father, which was also why he didn’t think Stephen’s father was capable of having a diamond card. But then again, the card might have been temporarily given to Stephen’s father by the real owner.The manager briefly glanced at Denver who had already entered the correct password. He wished he was able to see the account details, but because of the confidentiality, he was not capable of doing so. It would take too long to get permission from the headquarters, but the problem before him needed to be resolved as fast as possible.Because all the staff in the bank had stopped working due to this incident. The other customers were also looking and probably even recording the i

“Boss, will you give me permission to dispose of this garbage?” Sheryl asked.“Dispose?” Denver didn’t like that word.“Yeah,” Sheryl was still smiling. “Just give me a nod, and they’ll be gone from your sight.”Denver reluctantly nodded,“Just make them leave.”“Okay.” Sheryl then turned to face Stephen, Diane, and Subrina. And she briefly looked at the manager.“You haven’t answered my question yet, bitch,” Diane blurted.“Where did you rent the car! How much Denver is paying you for this act?!”“Shut up,” the manager raised his voice, startling Diane and others. “Madam Sheryl helped me once in the past. She’s someone who can buy dozens of lamborghinis if she wants, and you bastards dare to badmouth her?!” He glared at them. “Security, chase these dogs out!”The security guard, wanting to redeem himself, immediately activated his baton and jumped at them like a gorilla. They had to run out of the bank’s premisesStephen showed some resistance, but the guard did not spare Stephen

Sheryl stopped her car in front of the house and said, “I need to call someone, so you take care of your business here. I’ll be waiting outside. "We’ll go to a doctor to get your head wound checked after that.”“Okay,” Denver stepped out of the car with effort because he was a big man. He didn’t think he’d enter this house again so soon. But because he knew that Diane was not in the house, he believed that this was the right time for him to take the items he wanted.“Denver, who broke the table lamp?” a voice reached his ears.He stopped and looked to his right.A slender but sinewy woman with pretty bangs was standing at the kitchen door, eating a fruit-nut pudding. It was Diane’s sister.“You are silent, so it was you who broke it, huh,” Catherine’s gaze turned a bit cold. “Yesterday, you bumped into a flower vase and broke it. Today, it’s a table lamp. "You’re a big dude, so you should walk carefully. "If you keep destroying things every day, we will run out of things to de

Even after Denver lost memories, he got into some fights when they broke out during work. However, he never fought eight people.Naturally, he felt intimidated by the number of people that surrounded him. He may be the tallest guy among them, but he was still alone.Still and all, he spoke his mind, “Sheryl gave the bank card to me. If you want it, why don’t you ask her?”Stephen snickered. “Do you take me for a fool? Why would I ask her to get my card back?” He grabbed Denver’s shirt. “You are going to experience hell now for what you did at the bank. And then I’ll take this car and the green-eyed cutie, too.”Stephen tried to put his hand in Denver’s pocket, but Denver pushed Stephen back with both hands. It was such a strong push that Stephen was forced back five steps. In that process, Denver’s uniform buttons also came loose and fell, exposing his chest and part of his abs.“Beat him down!” Stephen yelled.All the eight men attacked Denver with their bare hands.

It melted into the rest of the car.”Big Dog also joined and forcefully tore apart the back door.They were expecting severe casualties, but Diane stepped out with minor wounds and coughing.“P-Please save him,” she hurriedly said and collapsed to the side.However, to her surprise and confusion, the brothers grabbed her and rushed to

Diane used the check Charlotte had given her and credited a million dollars into her own account, which she later transferred to the Den Bank.She was a bit worried about whether the transfer would happen or not, but after the money successfully transferred, she felt so relieved, confident and arrogant at the same time.She mocked Charlotte in her heart, calling her foolish for giving away a million dollars and even allowing her to transfer it to the Den bank.“Don’t underestimate Charlotte Heller,” the sandpaper system warned her. “That woman didn’t seem to have any superpowers, but she definitely gives off an abnormal aura. She’s not simple, so don’t underestimate her and let your guard down.”“Hmph, of course I know that she’s not simple,” Diane snorted. “She’s the owner of one of the biggest banks in the world. I’m sure she has crazy influence around the world, but with you by my side, I’m also sure that I can fight back against such bigwigs. Don’t you agree?”“I do agree,” the sy

After the board meeting ended, Diane was leaving with a dejected look.“You,” Jessica told her. “Come to our office.”Russell and Jessica together exited the room.“Why did she call me?” Diane wondered a bit anxiously. “Wait, if it’s going to give me a chance to talk to Russell, then I’ll take it.”Diane quickly went to Russell’s office.Jessica was sitting on the edge of the desk and was feeding berries to Russell. “Show us the recordings.”“Are you really asking for those recordings after the meeting finished?” Diane sounded impatient.She somewhat envied what Russell and Jessica were doing. It even upset her.“Yeah. Depending on whether you did what I said or not, you will either keep or lose your job,” Jessica warned.Diane then showed all the recordings that were on her mobile.Jessica looked at Russell. “What do you think?”“You asked for ten. She brought twelve. So, what’s there to think?” Russell spoke calmly.He looked calm but also a little tough and difficult to understand.

A few minutes later.Diane arrived at the Creed Tech company, only to see Marlon there on the ground floor.“What the hell are you doing here?” she openly showed venomosity toward him. “The likes of you don’t deserve to step foot in here.”“I could say the same,” Marlon snorted as both of them entered the elevator. “You looked hot as hell, but down there, you were unbearably hot. It felt like I was going to lose my chad.”“You mean you were going to lose your shrimp.”“Hmph, you’re going to regret it if you keep talking to me like that,” Marlon warned. “I’m not the type who’d go easy on women just because they’re women.”Diane took out her identity card.“Finance director? Who? You?” Marlon slightly frowned.“Surprised?” Diane snorted. “I’m not just any finance director. I’m representing Charlotte Heller today, and I’m going to sit alongside the board of directors.”“Oh, then I should go early so that I won’t be forced to sit next to you.”“Haha, you wouldn’t have to worry about it as

Diane got twelve recordings in total.And she was on her way back to the Creed Tech company.Diane’s skin looked much smoother, and she was shining like a barbie doll because her system had done it for her.So, her confidence has multiplied manyfold.Receiving so many gazes from both men and women was very satisfying to her.“Mm?” Diane noticed that a new store was being opened. It seemed like a jewelry store, but the items were all the ones that were found in the Dream Creed game.So, there was a huge crowd in front of the store.The one cutting the ribbon at the front was none other than Marlon Myers, the son of the Myers family.They were billionaires and were famous for their clothing brand.The moment Diane saw Marlon, her heart fluttered once.He was a handsome man who seemed to be around thirty years of age. He was tall and looked like he was the son of a mafia don or something.Diane slipped her way through the big crowd without any problem whatsoever.Her system had made it p

Diane heard a voice ringing in her mind, “Congratulations, cunt! You’ve been chosen by the Sandpaper System!”She stopped and looked around.It didn’t seem like anybody called her.“Was it just my imagination?”She kept walking.“You sure are a nasty person, aren’t you?” the voice rang in her mind again. It sounded eerily familiar to her father’s voice.Diane stopped in her tracks and looked around.Again, there was nobody around her, so whose voice was she hearing?“You cried when your dad died, but on that same night, you secretly celebrated his death,” the voice rang out in her mind once more. “To think you would celebrate your own father’s death… I have rarely come across someone as diabolical as you are.”Diane’s heart started racing.She did buy some alcohol and drank to her heart’s content that very night Richard died.When Denver asked her why she drank, she cried and said that she drank out of sadness and due to the pain of losing her father.Denver easily bought her words.D

Diane left the building, looking frustrated to say the least.“How can the richest man in the country have such a mediocre-looking wife? And her ego is through the roof. How dare she humiliate me by giving me a ridiculous task?”“I have to get video recordings of helping ten people?”“Does she think I can’t do it?”Diane went to the nearest store, which turned out to be selling some kind of liquid.“What is this that you’re selling?” Diane asked. “Why is there no signboard?”“No shops in this region have signboards, ma’am,” the shopkeeper said.Diane looked around. “Now that you said it… you’re right. There are no store names written at the entrance, either. It is strange. How can people know which store is which?”“They just have to ask and find out,” the shopkeeper said. “Only a few buildings like the Creed Tech company or Eco Waves have names written on them. If we do a good job and earn great reviews from our customers, then we can put names on our stores, too. Until then, we can’

Diane was never into online games. She was only focused on fishing men in reality and appearing cool and rich in front of her female friends.However, her whole concept of reality was questioned when she saw the advanced holographic technologies.There were teenagers, who were fighting holographic tigers and cheetahs with their own holographic clones that looked so real.There were some old people using this tech to fight like they were in their prime age.“When did technology advance this far?” Diane’s heart was in her mouth out of pure awe. “Was I living under a rock all this while?”There were television projections displaying the virtual game Dream Creed, and the stats of various players and some of their earnings were also being displayed.“Wow, one of them earned nearly a million dollars just in the past 48 hours?” Diane felt speechless. “I’ve heard this game many times, and some of my friends do play the game, but they didn’t earn much money, so I thought this game wasn’t a big

Two men were sitting in a Honda Accord car which was parked on the road opposite to the headquarters of the Supreme Bank.Both of them were sharing the same cigar as it was the last one in the box.One was Big Dog, and the other was Little Dog.“It’s been forty minutes,” Little Dog sounded annoyed. “Why is she taking so long?”“Go inside and check,” Big Dog said, taking the cigar.“You go,” Little Dog took the cigar back.They both stared at each other, and in the end, neither of them moved from their seats.They were step siblings and were members of the Red Roses group, currently assigned to look after Diane.“I wasn’t told the whole story,” Big Dog said, “but it seems this woman Diane was our Boss’ fiancee, but she cheated on him.”“Why does our Boss have such bad luck with women?” Little Dog blurted with impatience. “If I were in his shoes, I’d happily marry Green Fang and have a dozen kids with her.”“Pfft,” Big Dog chortled.Just then, Diane walked out of the bank and called for
