The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 122
After twelve in the night.Diane tried to transfer money from Denver’s diamond card once more, but it didn’t work out.“It keeps saying the same thing that the card is temporarily blocked. Dammit. When is it going to get unblocked? I want to transfer more money so that I can become richer than Hollywood singers and movie stars! I can then even live with the celebrities.”Just then, she heard footsteps outside.She looked to her right.Subrina came home, but she wasn’t alone. Peter Mason was with her.“M-Mom, why is he…” Diane was visibly surprised. “Are you two…”Subrina held Peter’s hand and smiled, “We’ve decided to get married.”Diane’s eyes enlarged. “Whoa, what?”While Peter might be rich, he was known to not spend a penny on a cat or a dog, so why would Subrina want to marry such a man?Diane grabbed Peter’s hand and took him to the side and talked with her.“Are you okay in the head?” Diane hissed in a low voice. “How can you marry such a dangerous man? If you get sick in the f

Diane’s face turned ghostly pale. “N-No. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What diamond card? What money?”“We didn’t come here to argue with you, Diane,” Catherine didn’t even want to call this woman her sister anymore. “Whether you like it or not, we’ll take back what you have taken from Denver.”Catherine glanced at Denver.“Do it,” she said.Denver then made a phone call to Bianca. “You can transfer the money back to my account now.”“Give me a few seconds,” Bianca, the vice president of the Den bank, said, sounding as though she was thrilled to do it. “I’m going to make her cry tears of blood!”A few moments later, Bianca gave him the green signal. “It’s done.”“Thanks. I’ll talk to you later,” Denver said and ended the call.“You can check your account balance now, Diane,” Catherine said.Diane reluctantly took her mobile out and checked the balance. She was so shocked she dropped the mobile and moved back a few steps. “No! This isn’t real! It must be a dream! This can’t b

Though Catherine didn’t believe the DNA report, the words ‘99 percent match’ took her thoughts for a mind-numbing loop.She felt her head spinning and ended up fainting.“Catherine!” Denver jumped out of the chopper so fast he ended up slipping on falling on his hands, but he quickly picked himself up and rushed toward her.Subrina immediately blocked Denver’s path. “Don’t even dare come near my youngest daughter!”“MOVE!” Denver roared, and Subrina’s heart nearly stopped.She froze completely from that lion-like roar.Denver pushed her aside and got to Catherine. He picked her upper body up. She didn’t suffer any physical injuries, but she wasn’t conscious, either. He tapped her cheeks. “Catherine, hey, wake up.”Diane didn’t like what she was seeing. “You are such a scum, Denver. You are the father to the baby in my belly, and yet you act like you care for my sister. You think she’ll keep believing your lies even after knowing that you cheated on her and lied to her all this while?”
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 125
Diane went for Catherine’s face without a shred of hesitation.Catherine rolled to the side in the last fraction of a second.Diane’s knee still hit part of her head, making Catherine hiss in pain.“You dodged that?” Diane smirked with amusement as he put her foot on the diamond card. “You are lucky.”Denver’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Diane…” his hand started to shiver with rage. Just how low is Diane going to stoop?Catherine couldn’t get the card in time, so she appeared annoyed. “I know you better than anyone else, so I’m not just lucky.”“Is that so?” Diane picked up the card. “This card is useless now, isn’t it? You came all the way here because you want to take this card from Denver, right? In the end, you’re also after his money, but he can’t see through your facade because Denver is innocent.”Catherine frowned in anger and disgust. “You’re right about one thing. Denver is innocent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put so much effort into pleasing you for the past two years, eve
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 126
“Are you okay with parting like this?” Denver asked Catherine. “We might never return.”“I’m fine,” Catherine said with her face down. “I just need some time to sort my thoughts.”“With her voice gone, every time she tries to speak a word and fails, she’s going to think of Boss Denver,” Sheryl said. “That’s the punishment she deserves for cheating on my boss.”Her words were also like a warning to the other girl sitting in the chopper.On top of that, Sheryl was looking at Catherine.“Don’t push it,” Denver glanced at her.Sheryl’s heart fluttered for a second because she saw the calm yet serious appearance of his boss’ face after a long time, though it didn’t last for long.Just then she received a phone call with the name Bald Falcon.She quickly answered, “What’s up, Baldie? If you are calling at this hour, it means…”“Yes, there’s an auction at 3 AM,” Bald Falcon replied from the other side. “There are many precious items being sold this time, but the most important item of all is
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 127
The Falcon Fortress was built on hills and occupied an area of nine square kilometers.The outer fort alone spanned nearly three and half square kilometers, and this was where all the humdrum happened.In the inner fort was where the exciting trade happened.The central fort was off-limits to outsiders, unless they were invited.Currently, the air around the inner fort region was thick with ambition, a heady mix of expensive perfume and even more expensive ambition.Many private jets were landing on the runways one after another, and the helicopters also had special helipads built for landing.“It is 2:32 AM,” Sheryl checked her mobile and smiled. “You did a great job bringing us here on time. We might even have enough time to change into better clothes.”“I didn’t want to lose my hair, or my wife would divorce me, so I tried my best, and the winds also helped us,” the pilot replied.“Would your wife really divorce you if you lose your hair?” Denver asked him rather innocently.“I don
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 128
Sheryl radiated a quiet, sophisticated grace on one side of Denver, whereas Catherine was a whirlwind of nervous energy.Denver’s eyes darted from one person to another, all of whom were wearing masks, except for the staff members.Nobody was yelling or shouting.Most of them talked as if they were almost whispering.The quietness only thickened the atmosphere with tension, and the air crackled with anticipation.There were eighteen halls in total.The items being auctioned were listed at the entrance of every hall on a digital screen with images, making it easy for people to see.There were rare paintings being sold in one hall, and even rarer sculptures being bidded in another hall.But tonight, Denver was here to bid for something far more esoteric—the millennium herb.“Denver, look, they are selling 100 year old wine in this hall,” Catherine pointed out. “Shall we go and buy it?”“But you don’t drink, right? I don’t drink, either.”“Yeah, but… we can sell it for a greater price to
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 129
The auction hall was a spectacle of opulence, whether it be the silk clothes of the bidders, or the stupidly rich watches and the priceless jewels adorning their bodies.The bidding price escalated with dizzying speed.Tonight’s crown jewel was the Millennium Herb, a mere single, gnarled root, pulsing with an ethereal inner light. Its rumored properties—immortality, boundless vitality, the ability to unlock untold secrets of the universe—were the stuff of legends.Everybody sitting in the hall wanted to get their hands on this herb, believing that they could rewrite history with it.Catherine felt a jolt of pure adrenaline as the bidding price went from 300 million dollars to 700 million dollars.What’s even more shocking was that the number kept soaring, fueled by desperation and the sheer force of ego.The bidding eventually climbed into the billions.A tense silence settled over nearly half of the hall as some contenders had secretly given up on the item while others still went for

After Sheryl heard about the commotion happening at the store, she realized that Shindo wasn’t lying.Without waiting, she dashed northward as Minerva was supposed to be in that direction, but Shindo easily caught up with her and punched the air.His punch released a destructive vibrational energy that utterly broke the tree branches to smithereens.Sheryl was sent packing into the waters. Her back crashed into the seabed hundreds of feet below.“To this day, so many monsters have tried to take my life, but they all failed,” Shindo once more punched the air from high above, sending a shockwave that put a giant spiraling hole in the waters and struck Sheryl.“Whoa…” Lark, who was watching that from a distance, couldn’t help but frown. “That geezer is freaking crazy. He’s probably as strong as Penal Hall Master Drake. Will Green Fang be able to handle such a monster?”Lark noticed that Sheryl had created a wooden barrier above herself to avoid receiving a direct impact of Shindo’s attac
CHAPTER 220
Lark didn’t think Sheryl would launch an attack as she was the one who had told him to not even think about fighting.He wasn’t sure if she was just taunting or really attacking, but the moment she unleashed tree roots onto Kuro, Lark also leaped onto the ship.Half of the branches flew toward Kuro.He kicked them and cut them all, albeit with effort. The pressure he put in his feet made the bull-head under him crack.The other branches attacked the rest of the people on the ship, while also trying to catch the little children.Shindo acted and struck the tree branches with coins he had taken out of his pocket. The coins destroyed the branches to bits, and he managed to stop all the branches.“Tsk,” Sheryl appeared annoyed. (As expected, he’s hard to fool.)“You pretended to attack Waka-sama, and tried to take the kids away from us,” Shino’s gaze turned hellish hot.But then the wooden footing underneath their feet came off and snatched all the children and brought them over to her wh

“Let's just beat everyone and steal all the valuables they got,” Lark was laughing with excitement, cracking his knuckles and ready to fight.Sheryl was also planning to fight, but only after getting closer, she noticed the old man standing behind Kuro Yama.“Give up on the idea of fighting,” Sheryl uttered.“Huh? What’s the big deal?” Lark frowned in annoyance. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”“Don’t you see that red-eyed monster?”“Red-eyed?” Lark looked toward the ship and noticed the burnt-marked old man. “Who is he?”“The strongest man of Japan,” Sheryl said.Lark’s eyes widened. “Killer King Shindo…” Lark had heard about him before. “The Shadow of the Yakuza Boss. Why is he on this ship now?”The identity of Shindo was enough to make Lark loosen his fists.Kuro stood on the bull-head of the ship, smiling sharply at Sheryl. “I have seen many foreign beauties, but your class is magnetic on another level.”Sheryl, while chewing bubble gum, stared down at Kuro. “Save your en
CHAPTER 218
At two o'clock in the night.Sheryl was at the top of the Rose Tower she had recently built, looking around for any disturbance.“Natalia must be itching to destroy us,” she thought, remembering the first time she met the old woman in the Nameless Zone.Natalia was old at the time, but she lifted a car with one finger and picked up her cat that was hiding under the car. She had searched the entire Hawk Park for her cat back then.“I wasn’t strong enough to fight that old monstrosity and win in the past, but now, things changed,” Sheryl clenched her fists. “I will pay her back for all the trouble you’ve given me and my boss over the years.”“I must say…” Lark smiled as he entered the rooftop,” this tower is pretty neat and beautiful with all the flowers for view and fragrance. “And… damn… what a view!” He reached the edge of the rooftop and stood next to her, looking down at the shore from an elevated position with flowers mildly glowing at the shore. “The ocean with the stars and all…

The waves at the shore calmed down, and some of the fishermen took the boats to the sea.Minerva was forced to sit on the wooden bench on that chilling night. She was shivering from the cold.She demanded Lark to let her go, but Lark told her she could leave through the sea route if she so badly wanted to go back home.“You…” Minerva looked at Alex. “One-armed guy. Release me, and I’ll make you rich. I’ll give you a million dollars. Even more if you beat the shit out of Lark.”“I’m afraid I’m not strong enough to beat him,” Alex replied.“You still haven’t answered my question, Madam Minerva,” Lark said. “Did any man ever buy you flowers?”“I don’t have time for dating. I barely left Hawk Park before. And I’m satisfied with my current life,” she said.“You’re already in your thirties, so when are you going to get married? Clearly, your mom doesn’t seem to care about you, or maybe she’s purposely making sure that you’d never get married.”“Stop spouting bullshit,” Minerva growled. “My
CHAPTER 216
“Minerva is here?” Sheryl slightly frowned as she heard that name come out of the mouth of one of Lark’s subordinates. “She’s one extremely arrogant bitch who preaches about peace while stabbing her chef for not cooking the meal fitting her mood.”“Should I send her back then?”“No, she’s the daughter of Golden Falcon,” Sheryl said. “I should talk to her to see if she changed her mind on going back to her dad or not.”In the past, Denver persuaded Minerva to go to her father who was the head of the Falcon Group, but Minerva didn’t listen to him.Because Denver lost his memories, Sheryl thought she should do the job in Denver’s stead.A few minutes later.Lark and Alex personally escorted Minerva to the eastern port.Seeing the newly built port and the boats and ships, Minerva was wide-eyed. “What the hell is all this? Are you guys starting a sea trade?”Natalia, who was watching it through a secret camera in her earring, was even more shocked and angered. “So they’ve already started t

On the same night.The council of mothers were furious that they didn’t receive any response from Don Denver.“Are you sure that the message has been delivered?” Natalia ground her teeth and glared at her subordinate.“Yes, President.”“We can’t just act in haste because they didn’t respond,” Natalia couldn’t hide the anger in her face. “What this brat is doing is abominable, but we need to make sure that he really is defying the king’s rule. Send the peacemakers.”“O-Okay,” the subordinate was terrified because she hadn’t seen Natalia so angry before.At the western border of the Nameless Zone.Alex and Lark were sitting on top of a tall, thick wooden wall that blocked entry from the land from three directions.Alex was staring at the beer in the glass but wasn’t drinking it.“What’s bothering your mind so much?” Lark asked, relaxed sitting back in the chair and enjoying the cool breeze of the night.“Nothing. It’s been years since I drank alcohol,” Alex replied.“It’s not alcohol. J
CHAPTER 214
The next day.Sheryl was at the eastern sea shore, creating wooden boats and ships with her ability.All the locals were pretty impressed and overjoyed by her skill. All the old ships were in ruins, so they had no means to go to the sea.But now, Sheryl resolved that issue within an hour.She created over 100 vessels which would allow them to roam the seas.As Sheryl was installing some seeds into the wooden ships, Alex came to her. “What are those for?”“These seeds repel the sea monsters,” Sheryl said, “as they belong to a poisonous aquatic plant.”“There are monsters in the sea? You mean, regular monsters or abnormal ones like in the caves?” Alex quickly asked.“Oh, what you’ve seen in the caves is little,” Sheryl smirked. “The serpent lord was originally a sea monster which later settled in this region.”Alex’s eyes widened. “So it was fighting on the ground where it was weakest?”“Mm, in the sea, it would be harder to fight it I suppose,” Sheryl did not have much experience fight
CHAPTER 213
At Golden Tower.Serena Nighthawk was listening to different sounds and was trying to create a new sound using different instruments, both normal and digital.Some of the sounds she made vibrated the glass and made metal bend. Even the rocks in her room were turning softer and bounced on the floor like rubber.“This isn’t good enough,” Serena had a frown going on her face. “There are weapons that can stop people’s hearts from a long distance without those people even being aware of it.“If I can create such a weapon that can be used on a large-scale with a hundred percent precision, then we will be able to finish our missions at a much faster rate.”Just then, Lily entered her chamber.“Are you working on ‘counter frequency’ again?” Lily asked. “You should take some more rest. You may feel fine now, but after a few days, the negative effects will surface.”“The return of Denver shows that we don’t have much time,” Serena said. “How can I sleep overtime in these critical times? If I ca
