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 777
There were a thousand versions of Sanctus fighting Elissa and Casil.Denver unleashed more than a thousand streaks of lightning which burst out of his body and sought Sanctus like they were ordered to.Denver hoped that his attacks would do something.At least distract Sanctus for a second and thus give Casil and Elissa an opening they could exploit.But all of the lightning streaks did not even reach Sanctus.Just the shockwaves coming from the exchanges between Sanctus and the royal siblings were so destructive that even Denver’s lightning streaks could not penetrate their way through.“Tch,” Denver frowned. Instead of sending so many streaks, he sent just a few thick lightning streaks this time.Even so, none of the lightning streaks reached Sanctus but simply disintegrated into thin air.“Even after I put spiritual energy, the attacks are still getting dispersed. What am I missing? Why are my attacks not potent enough to get through to them?”Denver kept watching them fight for th

Tens of thousands of miles away from Hawk Park.Ilene fought hundreds of unkillable monsters while also fighting Archon, the leader of the Death Night squad.His voidborn sword slashes could teleport and so there was no room for her to breath, much less make a mistake.If it wasn’t for her teleportation skill, she would have died many times already.She had already cut the monsters down and the limbs of Archon, but they regenerated like nothing happened.When she pushed Archon back, she briefly looked in Denver’s direction, wondering how he was doing.Unlike her, Denver was able to paralyze the monsters that attacked him and also defeated Fynrel the Broken Blade.“I’m using spiritual energy, and I have the light ability, too, but I’m not able to suppress them like you are doing,” Ilene asked aloud. “What’s the difference between you and me?”“Your ability should be doing well against these monsters,” Denver opined. “Maybe your application is lacking.”Ilene didn’t like how he put it,
CHAPTER 775
After Lily left, Mickey asked Ingrid, “If you know who my mother is, then tell me.”“I can’t,” Ingrid was quick to reply. “You should stop asking about your mother. His Majesty does not like it when his children ask for their mothers.”Mickey smiled a bit angrily. “I became the crown prince, and I still am not eligible to learn my mother’s identity. Personally, I don’t really care who my mom is, but I don’t like that I’m being kept in the dark when even Lily knows her identity.”“Then why don’t you go and ask Lily yourself?” Ingrid said, slightly unsheathing his sword with the tip of his thumb.The royal knight Novick arrived there, and he was giving a challenging look at Ingrid. “The king isn’t here. This is the perfect time to conquer Hawkers and make it yours, Crown Prince Mickey. Let’s deal with the Knight Captain together.”Mickey, however, got up and walked away.“Do you not like what I said?” Novick asked.“I’m not foolish enough to not see through your act,” Mickey replied bef
CHAPTER 774
Lily came to where Mickey and Ingrid were. She tossed four heads of the important members of Soulripper clan on the ground. Sethra and Veyra were among them.“Dispatch a couple of knights to their hometown and destroy their clan completely,” Lily said. “Not a single person from their clan should be left alive.”She was not looking at Ingrid but Mickey.After all, he was the Crown Prince.In the absence of the king, the crown prince and the council would have equal power.“I already got a ‘yes’ from Natalia,” Lily added. “If you say yes, then the Soulripper clan will be erased from the face of the earth.”“As much as I want to do that, I don’t think this is the right time to send two of our valuable soldiers somewhere far,” Mickey responded.“Are you worried that more enemies might attack us?” Lily raised an eyebrow. “I sealed up the portal. The lizards have stopped coming out as well.”“What about the eagles?” Mickey asked.“They are under me,” Lily responded calmly. “They wouldn’t at

The ground rose and fell in a meter tall waves as Minerva tried to close in on Sheryl and Serena.Her feet kept sinking, despite her using aura to run fast.Even though she sank waist-deep into the ground, she pushed herself through the liquid ground and reached the solid surface where the battle was taking place.The shockwaves, sound and energy bursts made it very hard to keep her eyes and ears open.She was forced to release all of her aura to shield herself.“STOP IT!” she shouted, but her voice wasn’t heard.Frustrated, she used an attack that her mother had taught her. She punched the air with a half-closed fist. “Snake Shot!”A giant snake-like energy manifested and tried to devour both Sheryl and Serena.“Ah?” Serena momentarily looked toward the incoming attack.Sheryl used the opportunity to grab her with a vine and threw her into the snake attack.Serena was devoured by the energy snake, which then exploded from within.Minerva was surprised by her own attack. “T-That was c

Catherine carefully removed the many needles that were put in Joelle’s body.Joelle’s eyes were partly opened. She was looking at Catherine, but she didn’t even seem to have the strength to speak or blink.Catherine did not move her but took the stretcher and returned to the elevator.Meanwhile, outside the council building.Sheryl and Serena were fighting near a big fountain statue where tears fell out of the statue’s eyes like waterfall.Serena used sound, vibrations and aura to control water and send them flying at Sheryl like needles.They were able to easily pierce through the vines and reach Sheryl.The water needles were capable of putting holes through metal shields, but Sheryl blocked them all with her hardened wooden gloves without much of an effort.“You’re here fighting for one single person when our whole organization is in danger,” Serena blurted. “As a Hawker, you should feel ashamed of yourself.”“Aren’t you fighting me now because I beat your group members?” Sheryl re
