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."

CHAPTER 767
Catherine leaped into the crater-zone, ready to use her Gravitas Fist.But part of the dust cleared and revealed who the silhouette was.It wasn’t Beastie but Sheryl.Sheryl was the one who had pinned Beastie down.Catherine stopped herself and ended up rolling on the ground, embarrassing herself in the process.“Where is she?” Sheryl twisted Beastie’s arm, making the skin and muscle tear.“Krgh,” Beastie gnashed her teeth. She found it hard to believe that her attack was perfectly countered.Sheryl used ‘Reverse Grip’ technique to grab Beastie’s arm, not softly or defensively but with calculated force.Sheryl clamped her down with overwhelming strength, fingers digging into aura flare itself like talons into flesh. Then she pivoted, redirecting Beastie’s momentum into the ground.The dive became a dragged spiral instead of a vertical execution.Beastie ended up getting hurt by her own attack because of how adroitly Sheryl handled her.“Using Reverse Grip against Bloodhawk Descent is
CHAPTER 766
On the western side of Hawk Park.A large root rose out of the ground and spat Sheryl and others.Sheryl looked around. Nobody got hurt, so she exhaled in relief and looked at Catherine. “You did well. If you hadn’t stopped their attacks even for a second, I think we would have lost our people.”Catherine wasn’t happy to hear that. “I wish I could do more.”Sheryl smiled. “I have the same feeling, but I feel like my hands are tied with ‘him’ not around. The best we can do right now is find Joelle and then think about a plan.”Catherine nodded. “Just where could they have kept Joelle?”“They must have kept her in a place where my aura can’t reach,” Sheryl opined. “We can’t search every building in Hawk Park, so we have to go for a higher up in Lily’s group.”“If it’s the two of us, we can take them without much problem, right?” Catherine said.“I was thinking of dealing with it myself, but you can come along if you want,” Sheryl said and then looked at Lovia. “Take care of others and b
CHAPTER 765
Attacks came from all four directions.Except for Catherine and Sheryl, the others in the group weren’t even in a position to defend themselves.Sheryl was about to create seed shells to cover everyone, but Catherine unleashed pressure in all four directions.She gave everything she got, but she was only able to buy a second or two.Sheryl used that little time to grab everyone in the group and take them underground through a channel of roots.The four attacks struck Soul King and created a layered explosion that rose through the clouds and evaporated them in the process.This was like watching a firework that rose higher than any tower or mountain in the world.Despite a barrier around Hawk Park shielding the noise from going out, the outsiders were still able to feel the vibrations and the tremors. And they were able to see the flames and smoke that painted the sky, with skull faces appearing at places in the smoke.And the people who witnessed that were terribly afraid.Some captur
CHAPTER 764
Sheryl strongly believed that Joelle was being kept somewhere on Hawk Park, and this would be the right time to look for her because all of Lily’s team was busy fighting monsters or occupied with something.But roaming around Hawk Park right now wasn’t easy at all.Sheryl and her group were coming across monster generals, each of which were strong enough that Lovia, Sakura, Rocky and Stoney had to fight together to beat.These monsters died after their heads were destroyed unlike with the frog general.Their first big hurdle was when they came face to face with a humanoid gorilla which was nearly twenty feet tall. It had claws for fingers that would put a hawk’s talons to shame.Its skull had a ridge that was glowing yellowish brown from all the flesh it ate and blood it drank. Its large wings made it look larger.It greedily attacked Sheryl’s group, wanting to devour them.Catherine and Sheryl together fought it.Sheryl tried to restrain it with vines and absorb all of its nutrients,
CHAPTER 763
Elsewhere in Hawk Park.Catherine was fighting a frog general using crystal swords. This monster was nearly eleven feet tall, and it tried to chomp on her body parts during the midst of the fight.Catherine was put on edge. One small mistake, and she wouldn’t be alive to make another mistake.The frog monster relentlessly attacked with the swords, trying to chop her limbs off.“Gravitas Shield,” she blocked all the attacks successfully.The frog monster, however, did not get upset or angry and kept at it. “Your ability reminds me of some of the caves where the pressure changes abruptly. You are somehow able to control the speed of my blades before they reach you.”“Then you should know that you can’t beat me,” Catherine said, huffing.“But I can keep doing this forever,” the frog general retorted. “From what I can see, your stamina is going to run out soon.”Catherine pushed herself and managed to deflect the swords, then struck the frog general’s body with a series of punches.Boulde
CHAPTER 762
Diane couldn’t digest the fact that she was not seen as an equal or at least someone close to Sheryl’s level.“How much stronger do you think I need to get to beat her?” Diane asked straightforwardly.“More than raw power, you need skill and experience,” Lily said. “It takes time, so be patient.”A few seconds of silence passed between them.“Why don’t you come with me? We’ll finish a task together,” Lily said. “You can also watch me fight and learn.”Diane thought about it and said, “No.”“Alright. We’ll meet later then,” Lily said and left in a hurry.Diane went back to fighting the monsters and absorbing their strength. She felt her body growing colder the more she took in those monsters’ vitality, but that didn’t stop her.“I will become strong enough that I can do whatever I want,” Diane thought, remembering Elissa. “I want to live freely like her with no one questioning me.”Meanwhile, Lily arrived at the snow mountain.She stopped in front of the small house at the top.
