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.

CHAPTER 841
Denver returned to the house where his team members were staying.He gave the red pill box to Alita.“Why didn’t you destroy these?” she asked.“If I destroyed them, I think Sanctus would know,” Denver replied. “We’ll gather the items first and then destroy them all at once.”Alita could sense his energy signature and tell that he had recently fought someone. “It’s safe to assume he’ll set traps, so be extra careful.”Denver took out the dice and opened his palm.The dice still showed one.“I will try not to directly confront Sanctus until I overcome this dice, Mom,” Denver said.She smiled.“And when I do that, will you remove this cloth and see the world again?” Denver asked.Alita’s lips went flat fast. She didn’t say anything.“I’ll take the silence as a yes,” Denver said and left the room.He looked down toward the floor, then vanished from there and appeared inside the underground hall that Sheryl had created.Sheryl and Philip were fighting. She was trying very hard to beat him

“Take it if you can,” Denver flicked his wrist, and the box disappeared without a trace.The man wearing medieval clothing gritted his teeth. “You’re courting death!” He thrust the golden spear at Denver in the blink of an eye.Denver punched the spear and melted it against the opponent’s will.Denver used the momentum to grab the opponent’s face and squeezed it.Black lightning released from his body and electrocuted Denver. He was pushed back.The opponent grinned and poured black lightning into the melted spear, thereby bringing it back to its original shape. “You’re certainly strong, but my lightning is superior to every other form of lightning. You cannot win against me.”Denver covered his fists with spiritual aura. “I don’t need lightning to deal with you.”“Do you even realize who you’re talking to?” the opponent growled. “I’m the great Mad Monarch Sullivan. The head of the Onyx clan.”“No, you’re just a bootlicker,” Denver retorted coldly. “You love licking Sanctus’ boots and

At one of the biggest pharma companies in the country.Denver just bypassed the security and entered the headquarters.He saw the blood that was being used as ingredients for certain drugs.“They really are making a lot of money with donated blood,” Denver thought. “I need to deal with these pharma companies, too, but right now, my priority is to find that thing.”He went to the CEO’s office.The CEO was a middle-aged lady. She was clueless as to Denver’s arrival and kept talking to someone on mobile while staring out through the glass wall.“Yes ingredients like Benzene are mixed in the skincare products, which cause blood cancer, and the affiliated companies treat leukemia and earn billions every year,” she said. “I may be a vampire, but these businessmen are money-hungry vampires. The people are too foolish to see it. They are too busy with their own lives. They don’t have time to look around, and they’re paying the price for it by paying for products that are harmful to them.“It’
CHAPTER 838
At a blood donation center with a red cross symbol on it.Denver stood outside and was staring at the board on display. It read: Giving Blood Saves Lives.Denver entered the building.“Welcome, sir. Are you here to donate blood or buy it?” the nurse asked.Denver saw the person who was on the bed, giving away plasma. “How much does a unit of blood cost?”“If you go to hospitals, they’ll charge you at least 500 dollars,” the nurse replied quickly. “But we only charge 150 dollars. And it’s also after the testing is done.”“Mm,” Denver looked at the blood packet that was put on the wall for display. “I will buy one packet.”“Sure, sir. Just tell us what you need it for?”“To destroy.”“Pardon?”“To destroy sickness.”“Haha,” the nurse chuckled at Denver’s dry humor. After Denver filled the form, the nurse wrote her number on a small paper and handed it to him. “Call me whenever you’re free.”“For what?” Denver asked.She leaned closer and whispered, “To destroy me.”Denver’s heart trembl
CHAPTER 837
Everybody except for Sheryl participated in the fight against Philip inside a wooden hall underground, which Sheryl had created.Nicole, Lovia, Sakura, Stoney, Rocky, Joelle, and Catherine attacked him with everything they got because most of them were well aware of Philip’s reputation.Even though he might not have recovered fully, they didn’t hold back.However, Philip created water bubbles reinforced with aura and trapped every single one of them.Most of them couldn’t even get out of these bubbles.Only Nicole, Lovia and Catherine were able to get out. The former two used their aura whereas Catherine relied on her gravitas system.Seeing others pass out helplessly, Catherine grew nervous. She still clearly remembered how helplessly she lost the fight against Philip not long ago, and the memories were still fresh in her mind.Nicole and Lovia attacked from different directions.Nicole’s punches were precise and sharp with no wasted movements like the brush strokes of a painter.Lov
CHAPTER 836
The next morning.Philip woke up and found himself on a bed in a room he did not recognize.He looked to his right.Alita was there on another bed.“What happened?” he asked softly.She briefly told him the things that happened after he passed out.Philip covered his face in shame. “It all happened because of me. My right hand man was always working for Sanctus. Sedrick must have told him everything about our organization. That’s why he came fully prepared. And he succeeded in killing the king.”“Even if Sanctus hadn’t killed Casil, he would have still died sooner or later anyway,” Alita replied.“What about Elissa?”“She’s probably hiding and recovering just like us,” Alita said. “You don’t have to be ashamed of yourself. Betrayals often come from whom we trust.”“Is it true that you betrayed Sanctus?” Philip asked.“When you’re a kid, you listen to almost everything your parents tell you,” Alita said. “But after growing up, you’ll not readily agree to everything your parents will sa
