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

A storm-like energy completely engulfed not just the 81st floor but the entire tower.Catherine, Denver, and Yellow Tiger were at the center of it.Catherine was not able to take another step as her body was not moving as she wanted. The energy was so oppressive her knees grew weak.Denver, however, was still able to stand despite feeling as if his brain and body were swirling.“Eye of the Storm…” Yellow Tiger said in a tone that oozed raw power that quaked the very air all around. “Only two people have managed to escape this technique so far. One is the northern guardian White Phoenix, and the other one is the current head of the royal knights. Did you two pipsqueaks think you can run away from me and tell tales of it to others and mock me?”The pressure put on Denver strained his brain so much that a bit of the past flashed in his mind.“Boss, Boss!” Sheryl rushed over to Denver who just finished his mission of killing a deserter of Hawkers.Denver was gravely wounded at the time. “

Catherine felt foolish for blowing a whistle which didn’t let out any sound. “Is it a one-time use object?”However, Yellow Tiger heard the inaudible noise that wasn’t heard by normal people. “This sound…” he fingered his ear. “That whistle must work like Spy Horn. Who did you call for help?”“My boyfriend,” Catherine replied. “If you don’t want your ass to be floored, then you better leave before he comes here.”“Who’s your boyfriend?”“My boyfriend is my boyfriend. Who else will be my boyfriend?”Yellow Tiger raised an eyebrow. “Does she have a screw loose or something? Or is she acting stupid on purpose?”He immediately turned into a flash and closed the distance.Catherine barely saw his blurry figure and reflexively threw a kick at him.All she hit was his afterimage.The next second, Yellow Tiger was standing right where his afterimage should be.He had all the time in the world to strike Catherine, but he sniffed her and said, “Is your boyfriend Denver? I smell him on you.”Ca

“That black mass is going to ruin your body from within,” Gray caught Catherine’s face with her bare hand and uttered, “Laser Bomb.”A hole opened up in her palm and blasted forth a powerful laser.The attack went right through Catherine’s mouth.Gray thought she had won, but the laser bomb shrunk in size and was compressed into a tiny ball.“What the…” Gray frowned.Catherine coughed the tiny ball out, which struck Gray’s face and destroyed half of it.But then Gray’s face began to regenerate, and Catherine couldn’t believe it. “Even the head can grow back? Just what the hell did you turn your bodies into? You can’t call yourself human anymore.”“Yeah, I’m not human. I’m Human N.0.”A few years back.Borg promoted Gray to being his direct assistant, and she was overjoyed by it.She was expecting many upgrades as well, and the first thing Borg did was inject her with some liquid which looked black.“What is this?” she asked out of curiosity. “It looks creepy.”Borg smiled. “But you’re

On the 63rd floor.Catherine and Gray were fighting intensely, and Gray felt like her body had grown thirty times heavier.As a result, she was receiving more damage than she could inflict.“I have never seen anybody bend laser beams, and you even deflected explosions,” Gray said with much hatred oozing from her eyes. “What kind of monstrous ability do you have?”“If you’ve got any prayers, make them,” Catherine was looking to use her killer punch on her opponent, but she had to be careful before closing in as Gray could still use laser beams. “You’re not going to be leaving this battle alive.”“I’m not afraid of death. I don’t have any family or friends,” Gray said. “But the only person I work for in this world is Borg. For him, I will kill or die if needed. And today, I will kill you and all the other intruders.”“You can daydream all you want, but you ain't gonna be nothing more than my sandbag, girl!” Catherine clapped her hands as Gray closed in.The floor and the ceiling started

Yellow Tiger burst his way through the walls of the tower and entered the 56th floor.“Was it 56?”He stomped on the ground and destroyed the floor locally, thus falling into the 55th floor.“Mm?”He saw Deenver standing, putting his foot on top of the augman captain who had lost all of his limbs and was not able to regenerate.For a second, Yellow Tiger saw the king in Denver’s face.“Out of all the sons, you resemble the closest to him…” Yellow Tiger commented. “Do you know? When the couples are falling in love, they share more of their parents’ features. So the child looks more like them instead of looking like their grandparents or other relatives.”“What are you talking about?” Denver put pressure on his foot, making the augman captain cough blood out and cringe in pain. “Who are you?”“But you got more of your father’s features and not your mother’s….” Yellow Tiger smirked. “Then again, your skin color is closer to your mother. Your father isn’t as fair as you are.”Denver’s jaw
CHAPTER 292
A few minutes earlier.Alex was brought into the laboratory by a group of four augmen scientists.“Are we going to make another augman out of this guy?”“No, we were ordered to remove his conscience and turn him into a ruthless killer.”“Then we have to operate on both the hippocampus and amygdala.”“While we’re busy working on him, make sure nobody disturbs us, Bulk.”“Sure thing,” Bulk was sitting by the bench, slurping on noodles. He was nearly seven feet tall and looked massive with his muscles hidden beneath layers of fat.He was called Bulk because he never cut his meals. So, he looked like a walking bison.Bulk observed the augmen work on Alex’s brain.They began to extract his memories, which were being displayed on the screen in a zig-zag manner.“So he’s from some poor village, huh. He’s never going to go back there,” Bulk laughed. “So he should thank us.”Just then, the glass doors slid open, and Sheryl entered the hall.Her eyes momentarily froze when she realized that it

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
CHAPTER 290
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? We use what ou
CHAPTER 289
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
