The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 12
After Denver and Catherine left, Diane came to pick her mobile, and she found the ring box which Denver had thrown away.She opened the box and found the two pre-engagement rings, which were worth about 500 dollars each. She put the box in her pocket and then called for an ambulance, because Stephen was still unconscious.The brown rottweiler, Payne, came running toward her. Diane picked up a stick, causing the dog to run the other way.“This damn dog… why does it not like me but like Catherine and Denver?”“Catherine…” Just thinking about her sister made Diane’s blood boil. “How could you go with him? How could you do this to your family? "You are confident because you have a pool, but what if that pool gets destroyed? "Then you will come crawling to my feet!”Along with Catherine, she believed that Denver would also come crawling back to her and beg for her forgiveness.Danie’s plan was to have a simple, trusting husband like Denver, and then enjoy her life outside, sleeping wi
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 13
Denver was driving an old red Volkswagen. It was Richard’s car, but Diane and Subrina wanted to sell it away after Richard died. However, Catherine bought the car from them and had been using it.The car was well-maintained. More importantly, Denver could see the family photo in the front. Even Denver was present in the photo, and it made him feel a little emotional.Denver thought about what Catherine had said in the hospital.“Stephen Creamer is a dangerous guy. "Diane seems to think she can handle him, but she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with. "I’m afraid she and mom will be abused by him.”Thinking back on those words, Denver could only shake his head in frustration.“Diane and her mother don’t care about me,” He was looking at Richard’s face in the photo. “I don’t want anything to do with them, but…”A few minutes later.Denver arrived at the construction site, only to hear the supervisor cursing Jeremy for not completing the cement unloading on time.“You take twice as lo

Henry received a call from David of the Clarke family. He was the brother of Sage Clarke who owned the company.Denver turned to face Henry. (That was fast.)Henry quickly answered the call, “S-Sir David. How are you doing?”“Henry Burner,” David’s voice was heavy and icy,“You don’t have to be in charge of the construction project anymore. And you’re going to be prosecuted for cutting corners in previous projects, too.”“W-What?” Henry’s heart sank into his stomach. “Sir, I thought we were close?”“You fool! You shouldn’t have offended someone who’s out of your league. "Now, there’s nothing I can do for you. If you want to keep your place, then beg that person you pissed off.”The call ended.Henry looked quite confused. Who did he offend? He couldn’t help but look in the direction of Jeremy and Denver. Was it one of those two? No, how could it be them?!Denver raised his mobile and continued talking with Bianca.“It’s done, Mr. Denver,” Bianca said. “He lost his job, and he will

“If she wants, she will come visit you tomorrow,” Denver told her and then ended the call.Subrina couldn’t believe it. “D-Did he just hung up on me? How dare he… I must teach him a lesson.”“Don’t worry, Mom,” Diane, who was in the background, smiled. “I already took care of it. Both of them will be shocked when they see it.”“What did you do?”“You will know soon.”Subrina started to shake her head as she sat next to her daughter. “I don’t get it no matter how much I think about it. How can Catherine like that loser?”“She’s naive, that’s why.”“Haah,” Subrina could only sigh deeply. “We have to get her to change her mind.”Diane didn’t say anything but was just smiling.Meanwhile, Denver reached the hospital and paid the bill for both his and Catherine’s treatment using the card. He received a twenty percent discount because the Den bank was one of the shareholders of the Spring hospital.As they were going home, Catherine was watching him and smiling.“What?” Denver cluelessly as

The next morning.Denver and Catherine went to the police station to file a complaint on Stephen Creamer. However, the police were not showing any interest, even after Catherine had tried to explain that her pool resort got demolished and that her livelihood was destroyed.One of the police officers took Denver to the side and warned him, “Stephen is not someone you people want to mess with." "Even if you manage to file a case in the court and win, he’s going to come out on bail in a couple of days.""What do you think he’ll do after coming out? He’ll ruin your lives completely.""So, take that girl and leave before you hurt yourself even more.”Denver was not expecting much before coming to the station, but the way the police heartlessly treated Catherine, a victim, was hard to swallow for him. He had seen many unfair things in life in the past three years. But this event was personal, so it hit him extra hard.As the police were not taking her seriously, Catherine said she woul

The massage parlor was a haven of restfulness and tranquility. Its walls adorned with soft hues and the scent of fresh blooms hovering in the air.However, after entering the parlor, many female workers were giving Denver strange looks. Denver didn’t understand why at first.This was the main branch. Diane didn’t work here, so these women shouldn’t know him. So, why were they giving him not-so-normal looks?Denver soon reached the conclusion that it was probably because he was wearing an ordinary shirt and pants.Even when he was walking the CEO, how could they judge him by his clothes?Ignoring these women, he entered the CEO’s office on the third floor. There were two rooms inside the office. In the main room, a soft jazz melody floated from hidden speakers, creating a soothing ambiance.In the second room, a guest room, Denver could see someone watching the television. This was his first time seeing that person, but for some reason he felt like he had seen him before.“Who’s

“Say the words, and I’ll consider making you the gate guard,” Stephen continued to trash-talk Denver. “Given your previous job, this guard job can be considered an upgrade.”Even though Stephen said that, it was obvious that Stephen wasn’t actually trying to help Denver but was just humiliating him.Despite the anger and frustration rising up Denver’s heart, he feared for Catherine’s safety.So, he ended up lowering his head and said, “It’s an honor to meet you, CEO Stephen.”Diane and other workers were surprised to hear that.“CEO?” Some workers wondered why Denver called him that. “Are you the CEO of some company?”“Actually, he’s going to become the CEO of Pinkness,” Diane quickly answered, her voice flowing with pride.“What?” the expressions on the workers’ faces quickly changed. Unlike Denver who was in normal attire, Stephen was dressed up well. One would believe it if he were to say he was the son of some rich guy.“Please come and sit down, sir.”“Do you need any dr
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 19
A man wearing an old shirt and jeans. His hands were calloused, and his skin bronzed from hours under the sun as a construction worker, but it kept him grounded. Denver, having lost his memories and relied completely on his uncle, knew loneliness and poverty like the back of his hand.His uncle did help him, but he always felt that something was still lacking. It’s like how a man who lost his parents would feel incomplete as a bachelor and would wish to marry as soon as possible. The same was the case with Denver. He believed that marriage was the solution.He had thought that marrying Diane would no longer make him feel incomplete. It may give him a life that would somehow transcend the struggles of his youth. But after she cheated on him, he came to the bitter realization that - what made him feel lonely was not just due to the fact he was unmarried, but also the truth that he lost his memories.It was this new-found hunger that was helping him push the betrayal to the back o

“Break the wall,” Weber ordered.“But, Captain, there’s a gate over there,” one of the members pointed out.“Fools, we’re not entering this place as guests,” Weber shouted. “I’m going in first, so follow after me.” He clenched his fist and leaped forth. “Monster Smash!”The thick wooden wall got ripped in the middle, and the top half flew into the sky in that locality, opening up a path for others to enter.Seeing Weber’s overwhelming power, the people cried and spread out in different directions.“Even ants are more courageous than these idiots,” Weber cracked his knuckles. “Isn’t there a single brave soul in this place? Did they all die fighting the demented beasts yesterday?”Just then, a ten-year-old boy stood in Weber’s path, holding a mere tree branch.“Ho, are you planning on fighting me with that puny little thing, brat?” Weber amusedly said.“I’m going to avenge my friends!” he rushed forth with no fear or anxiousness in his eyes.“Fine. I’ll send you to your friends you seem

A few minutes before dawn.“Show yourself, Denver! And bring Minerva out!” an old woman’s voice penetrated through people’s eardrums, forcing them to shut their ears.The people in Rose Park looked up at the sky.There was a big hawk flying above, flapping its wings but keeping its head absolutely still.A giant hologram of Natalie was standing on top of the hawk.“The Pharma Squad is on its way here,” Natalia added. “You better bring Minerva out before it’s too late for you.”On the top floor of Rose Tower.Catherine looked at Sheryl. “What’s a Pharma Squad? Do they deal with medicine?”“And poison,” Sheryl said. “They are bad news. They can spray gas and make it linger in this place, which will make this area uninhabitable.”“I can use my ability to send that gas away before it fills this region,” Catherine said.“Can you do that for this entire Rose Park?” Sheryl asked quickly.Catherine slowly shook her head. “No, I don’t think I can pull it off on such a scale just yet.”“How abo
CHAPTER 241
The next morning.Denver arrived at the Rose Tower, which Sheryl had to rebuild because it suffered damage due to her skirmish with Novick.Catherine sat in the seat Sheryl had prepared for Denver, so it upset Sheryl. “I didn’t make that throne for you.”“It’s a throne? But it is full of flowers,” Catherine smiled. “I like it. This is probably the only good thing you did in a while. But don’t worry. I’ll sit here and make this chair complete.”“You…” Sheryl was gritting her teeth, but Denver was okay with sitting on top of the desk.“How are the remaining people doing inside these walls?” Denver asked.“They are all terrified, not knowing when they are going to die,” Sheryl said.“They are afraid even with the walls protecting them?”“It’s not about the walls. They saw the street commanders get mind controlled last night,” Sheryl said. “Whether the council is behind it or not, it’s not something just anyone can do. If they can manipulate commander-level people, then it’s also possible
CHAPTER 240
How can a dead person move?How can a dead person growl?Denver had seen the movies where dead people moved, and they were called zombies. In fact, zombies were probably Diane’s favorite fantasy creatures as she often dressed up as a zombie on Halloween most of the time.But, seeing one on TV and in real life was a whole different thing.Denver, for a few seconds, was not able to process what he was witnessing.His feet did not move. His arms shivered somewhat. His heart also shook quite a bit.And his brain could not process the signals his eyes kept sending.The ‘running’ dead, faceless person jumped at Denver, as if trying to chew off Denver’s face and then probably eat his brains.Suddenly, a tree branch flew in like a spear and caught the undead monster around the waist and took it away.“What were you thinking, Boss?” Sheryl arrived up to him quickly.“Yeah, why were you just standing and daydreaming?” Catherine scolded him first and then looked at the seemingly undead monster.
CHAPTER 239
Denver walked out of the whispering stone caves, with Catherine and Sheryl behind him.The hole in Catherine’s stomach closed pretty much, but it still left a scar, so she looked worried. “How can I get rid of this scar?”“That’s given by Philip,” Sheryl said, “so you’ll need to put some powerful herb on that spot before the scar takes root into the flesh. Or…”“Or? Is there another way?”“If your aura is better than Philip, then you can remove that scar,” Sheryl stated.“Then, Denver can remove it, can’t he?” Catherine quickly said.“Denver might find it difficult to remove that scar,” Sheryl opined.“Huh, you don’t believe in him?”“I do, but he’s not perfect,” Sheryl said. “He mastered only six of the eight Hawker Arts, whereas Philip mastered all eight. Everybody has their flaws. Nobody should even think they’re perfect and capable of doing everything.”“But my sister thinks she’s perfect,” Catherine replied.“Your sister?” Sheryl wasn’t too surprised. “The woman who took the hous

Sedrick was standing on the border wall. He saw a black owl flying in the sky.“Mm…” Sedrick squinted his eyes. “A black one again? I’m getting bored here.”Just then, Philip arrived there ever so silently. “Bored of what?”“Give me the permission to destroy this wall, Young Lord,” Sedrick asked him, not at all looking surprised as he sensed Philip’s arrival.“What’s the point of breaking this wall when Green Fang can easily build it again with her ability, Master Sedrick?” Philip said.“Uh, you are right,” Sedrick let go of his staff, and it was automatically fixed to his back because of the pull from his aura. “Then, are we really leaving this place be? I think we are giving up on a golden opportunity. If we force Denver and take him to the king, we’ll get a lot of credit for quelling an uprising.”“The problem is that he’s not instigating war or violence,” Philip replied.“But he’s taken this land for himself. It’s nothing short of revolt,” Sedrick said, oozing out his intentions t
CHAPTER 237
Catherine did not see Philip coming.Denver was also taken by surprise, so all he saw was a streak of sapphire light.In the blink of an eye, Philip’s aura-covered fist was zooming into Denver’s face.Denver moved back instinctively, but Philip’s fist still struck his cheek anyway.A powerful shockwave pushed Catherine back, and she had to put pressure on herself to make herself weigh more so that she would be able to stay on her feet.Philip didn’t stop and continued to rain punches aimed at ribs and also abdomen and liver.His fists weren’t just mere concentrated points of energy. There was no brute force involved in his attacks, which looked like a masterful art in flow. There were no wasted movements.With every attack he received, Denver felt every drop of blood in his body vibrating and wanting to burst.As a result, Denver felt as if all his organs were about to rupture and break.Denver’s aura still managed to keep his body together, and his hands began to block the punches of
CHAPTER 236
“Why are you here?” Novick frowned after seeing Philip and stood on guard.“Relax, Sir Novick. We’re not going to sandwich you here,” Philip smiled.Novick, however, didn’t lower his guard. “I can’t take your words for granted.” He moved back and made some room so that he wasn’t stuck between those two.“I think twice before shedding my enemies’ blood, so why would I attack a royal knight without good reason?” Philip said. “But if you are anxious, you can leave. I would like to talk privately with my brother here.”His words changed the expressions on the faces of Denver and Catherine.“I have already finished my mission,” Novick walked back without showing his back to them. “So, I’ll take my leave.” His voice faded away.Catherine was surprised that Novick was able to leave without many sounds with his footsteps, almost in the same way Philip arrived here.“This guy’s a monster, too…” she muttered under her breath and stood on alert.Denver was staring at Philip with a mixed emotion.
CHAPTER 235
Denver had no idea who Novick was.There was a chance that he was his sibling, or an underling of his sibling. He didn’t think Novick was part of Penal Hall as their uniform was different.Either way, it didn’t matter to him who Novick was.After nearly losing Catherine due to someone who’s supposed to be Denver’s elder sister, Denver had completely lost faith in the Hawkers.And he realized that everything Sheryl said was true.He shouldn’t trust anybody, even if they shared his blood.Naturally, Denver did not feel like respecting Novick even though Novick had come all this way to talk to him.Novick controlled his anger, despite Catherine and Denver provoking him. “What are you planning, Denver Nighthawk? Why did you build a wall around the Nameless Zone?”“Why should I answer you when you are not answering our question?” Denver asked back.“I’m Novick Norman,” he replied. “The fourth royal knight under His Majesty Casil.”Denver was surprised to hear that.“Royal knight?” Catherin
