2024-11-08 09:09:53“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 drops on the white marble floor.
“Why did you say ‘trespassing’? I thought he bought the house?”
Stephen asked her while still smiling.
“That’s because this ISN’T his house,”
“My dad saved his life. Compared to that, what is this house worth?"
"He deserved what he got for not knowing his place, and hurting you.”
Diane said in a sly tone.
Stephen smiled.
“Thank you, sweetie.”
His eyes contained a trace of dark happiness, which meant that he was probably planning something bad.
Diane smiled back pleasantly.
“I should thank you, too, for giving my mom that million dollar check."
"She was all over the moon because she had never held a check worth that much. For making us happy…”
She came closer and whispered,
“I will make your little brother happy with my lips tonight.”
Stephen pulled her closer by the waist and roughly kissed her.
Both of them enjoyed it very much, not at all caring that Denver still didn’t leave the hall.
Denver’s gut twisted as he heard the filthy noises from behind him.
His expression turned stale as if his heart had gone numb.
He strode out of the house almost like a humanoid robot.
Wind blew past him, and he felt something that was in his pocket.
He took the box out. It was a gift he had prepared for his ex-fiancee.
There were exquisite diamond earrings inside.
However, right now, he did not want to look at gift anymore.
Without a shred of hesitation, he threw the box in the trash.
Beside the box, he felt something in his other pocket. He took the item out.
It was a bank card which was given to him by the pretty brunette he met at work that morning.
He had completely forgotten about this.
He took a good look at it now, and he could tell that it was not your regular bank card.
Made with quality materials, the card oozed out luxury and style distinct from regular ones.
It bore the name of a nationally renowned private bank, the Den bank, known for grandiosity and confidentiality, accepting deposits of tens of millions or more.
Denver noticed a strange but unique pattern on the card, identical to the one on the ring he wore when he was found and rescued by Uncle Richard.
“My past, huh…”
Denver remembered what the woman said earlier today.
This card could very well be a joke, but if it can provide answers, then it’s worth checking.
Can anything hurt him more than Diane?
As he approached the Den bank with suspicion in his eyes.
The security guard, who just woke up from his little nap, immediately stood from his stool and pushed Denver’s chest with the stun baton.
“Whoa, whoa, where do you think you’re going? You can’t enter the bank in these mucky clothes?”
“What’s wrong with my clothes? It’s not like they’re covered in mud. These are just an old pair I’ve been using for a while.”
Denver retorted.
the guard’s voice grew thicker, which disturbed the other clients that were around.
“I don’t care. Go back and come in decent clothing,”
“Stop kidding,” Denver tried to walk past the guard, which angered him very much.
“Hey!”
The guard shouted and pressed the light stun button and thrust it toward Denver’s abdomen.
Denver instinctively stepped back and dodged the attack, but his gaze sharpened like that of a tiger on a hunt.
“What’s with that look? You think I’ll be scared of you?”
The guard pressed the full stun activation button and raised his hand high.
“What’s going on here?”
An assistant walked out, his tone annoyed.
“Why are you causing a scene during rush hour?”
He noticed Denver, looking him up and down with disdain.
“What do you want?” he asked coldly.
“I just want to check the balance on this card,”
Denver replied, pulling the card from his pocket.
The assistant barely glanced at it before sneering.
“What’s this? Who would put a dumb pattern like that on our bank cards? You think this is funny?”
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the card back at Denver’s face.
“Get lost!”
He barked.

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.

“Catherine!” Diane shouted at her sister from the jeep. “What the hell are you doing? Get away from that cheater! I’m going to call the police and get him arrested!”“Cheater?” Catherine was startled. “What are you talking about?”“He cheated on me, which is why I canceled the wedding and picked this great man Stephen,” Diane blurted angrily, lying very easily as if it was a natural thing for her. “So, get away from that ungrateful bastard! Even after our father saved his life, he doesn’t have any gratitude toward us. "This is why you should never raise snakes, as they come and bite us in the back eventually!”Catherine was stunned to hear her sister’s words. She looked at Denver. “Is what she’s saying true?”Denver’s face had a hardened look.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Catherine asked again. “That’s because he doesn’t have anything to say!” Diane growled. “That cheater must be kicked out of our lives. No, he must be put in jail, or he won’t let us live peacefully!” Sh

Yellow Tiger bent his knees and leaped off the ground.He effortlessly reached the top floor and landed next to Borg.“Where is Denver right now?”“On the 55th floor,” Borg showed him the video feed. “He’s fighting my forces right now. Not sure what he wants, but I’d appreciate it if you can break his knees and take him away… Southern Guardian.”“55th floor, is it?” Yellow Tiger jumped off the balcony and clawed his fingers through the tough cement wall and slid down.Borg secretly smiled. “Yellow Guardian… he’s known for his ferocious fighting style. This martial art monster should be more than enough to deal with Denver. Once Denver is defeated, that’s when I’ll step in and take his ability from him. If I can get my hands on blood lightning, I can take my armor to a whole ‘nother level.”Meanwhile, Natalia used her coat, an advanced tech gadget, to fly through the air and reach great heights where a man was standing atop a cloud.He was a bald man with a rather sad expression on his

Denver went downstairs because he knew Sheryl was going upstairs.“Sheryl’s senses improved greatly after she acquired her superpower,” he thought. “She has more chances of finding Minerva than I do, but I can’t let that slow me down,either.”Denver went for one spot to another in a quick flash while destroying the cameras and any robots that were in his path.“I hope this helps create the diversion for Sheryl to succeed.”Because of the ruckus Denver caused on floors below 60, a lot of augbeasts and augmen rushed to these floors.Denver didn’t use his lightning but rather used aura to blast through the augbeasts, but he only knocked the augmen out.To his shock, the augbeasts regenerated at a visible pace.“What the heck?” He was baffled to see a whole machine arm of an augman captain regenerate fast, but then he remembered what Sheryl had said about regenerating and reproducing bots.“Haha,” the augman captain laughed. “Have you never seen a machine regenerate before?

Sheryl knocked the two guards out and tossed them aside.“You went easy on them,” Catherine said as they were rude to her.“They were augmented humans, so fighting them would only waste our energy,” Sheryl stated. “When you fight them, you’ll know.”“I will check for myself later on,” Catherine nodded in excitement.“I think they alerted everyone in the building,” Sheryl also said. “Time for us to change.”They quickly changed their masks to look like the guests.And then they rushed out of the room.Within seconds, many flying bots arrived there, but they didn’t attack Denver and others. They just went right past them.“I was doubtful,” Catherine gave a thumbs-up, “but it worked.”It was Sheryl’s idea, but Sheryl didn’t brag about it.“Were those the self-exploding bots?” Denver queried.“Yeah, the worst part about them is that they can replicate, so there’s no end to them,” Sheryl replied.“Replicate?” Catherine felt like she lost a few of her brain cells. “Aren’t they machines?”“T

To the shock of Denver and others, the first thing they saw after entering the tower was the sight of a nasty orgy.Catherine screamed in horror, and even Denver shrieked.“Don’t make such a big fuss out of a small thing,” Sheryl caught them both as they turned and tried to leave through the window.At the same time, branches spread all around the room and wrapped up the naked people with clothes.All of them were also confined so that they couldn’t move, much less continue having sex.Some of them were too drugged to fully understand what’s going on, while some others shouted, demanding to be let go.“I’ve taken care of the explicit content, so now, it’s fine,” Sheryl said.Trusting her, both Denver and Catherine turned around.“Why did you both react to it like children would?” Sheryl asked. “I can understand if a woman runs from it, but why did you act the same way, Boss?”“U-Uh, I…” Denver didn’t look ashamed. “I’m not afraid. It’s just that I don’t want trouble. The only woman fo

The High Tower was situated on a thick layer of clouds.Natalia and nearly a hundred mothers of the council and many other council workers and officers gathered under the tower.“He probably knows that we’re here,” Yellow Tiger said. He was big and bulky and looked raw and wild like someone who could eat a crocodile alive. “The fact that he didn’t come to greet us immediately shows that something isn’t right.”Natalia was reading the file regarding Borg. “A blue-eyed bastard. His mother came from Atlantis, huh.”“Is that place still inhabitable?” Yellow Tiger curiously asked. “If it is, I want to make a little trip.”“It’s not that far from Africa,” Natalia replied. “You can’t go through the sea route, but you can use the aerial route. All the blue eyed people who live there are beautiful.”Yellow Tiger smiled. “I thought it sank, but if that continent is still floating, I’ll pay it a visit. Does it still have a king?”Natalia shook her head. “Let’s focus on our current mission, shall

In Hawk Park.In the High Tower.Borg was talking with Minerva, offering her food, but she refused to eat it. “If you don’t eat, you’re going to get weaker.”“Just give me my locket,” Minerva calmly said.Borg smiled. “You think I don’t know that you can contact your mother with that locket? I’d rather not fight that monster who can regenerate at will, you see. I’m not sure if I can win against your mother.”“You’re not going to get away with this,” Minerva looked him in the eye. “The council will figure things out. And you will lose everything.”“No one knows that you’re here, babe,” Borg pulled her cheek. “The council will be busy going after Denver, so I have all the time in the world to make you and your dad meet.”Minerva frowned immediately. “My dad? Don’t tell me…”“I’ve already informed Golden Falcon,” Borg grinned. “He said he’s on his way.”“D-Don’t do this. I don’t want to talk to him, much less go to his side!” Minerva growled.“Hahaha, now your expression suits you more,”

Diane had regained her consciousness a minute ago, thanks to her system’s efforts.However, Diane did not attack the brothers.After all, the system warned her, “These brothers are not ordinary. They used some kind of energy in their attacks when they struck you. I had to work hard to remove the seal they put on your body.”“Seal?” Diane frowned a little. “Did they seal my energy point when they struck my neck? They must have learned some eastern martial arts then.”Diane had female friends, some of whom would go to dojos to attract the males. Diane also went there a few times in the past, so she knew a little about the martial arts they used.Some men tried poking her body to impress her, too, but she wasn’t impressed as they weren’t good-looking enough for her.“Even if they are martial artists, can’t I just weaken their organs with your help?” Diane talked with the system in her mind. “I just need to rub my palms, and then… they will collapse, not knowing what hit them.”“Like I sa

Nox did not take the ambulance to the hospital.Instead, he stopped it at a corner of the street, and the real ambulance driver who had been held at gunpoint now switched places with Nox.There was only one car at that spot.Kuro was inside this average-looking car.“I met her and gave her the card,” Nox told him.“What makes you think she’s going to come?”“She loves money. I gave her a VIP entrance card to a casino,” Nox said. “I would be surprised if she doesn’t come running.”“If she’s really as money-hounding as you say, then she’s going to be easy to control,” Kuro said. “But I’m not going to put my dick in a hole infested with parasites. That’s not happening.”“You don’t have to have sex with her. As long as you can marry her and make her be obedient with your money and fame, that’s enough,” Nox replied.“Let’s build my fame in the casino then,” Kuro laughed, lighting up a La Leon cigar worth over a hundred dollars. “In a few weeks, my name shall become popular among the gamble

Diane started rubbing her palms together.“Let me bring you a chilled drink,” the manager told her and was walking toward his tent.Just then, the main building’s ceiling collapsed. All the metal and cement crashed pretty fast, giving little to no time for anybody to react.The people who were on the top fell right into the broken iron beams, which pierced their bodies.Some died on the spot, whereas some suffered bad injuries and were not in a position to move.“Oh, no!” Diane covered her mouth with both hands and moved back as a cloud of dust filled the entire property.The manager stood in frozen shock as something completely unexpected had happened.The noise was also loud enough for Little Dog and Big Dog to hear.And they also saw the building collapse.They rushed out and made sure to check on Diane from a distance. Only after seeing that she was safe, they felt relieved.“A building collapsed like that, and she’s standing there instead of running away,” Little Dog opined. “She
