The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 150
Denver was astonished by the sudden change of attitude from the guys who were supposed to be his own siblings.Unlike Denver, they didn’t look big and strong.They were about 175 cm tall on average, and they weren’t that muscular, either. They looked simple, not that one needed to look big to be powerful.But the sky is blue and the grass is green.Denver didn’t feel that obvious aura he felt from the likes of Tyron and Sakeda.These six guys probably weren’t weak by human standards, but from what Denver had experienced so far, he felt that they were weaker than the current him.And Denver was sure about himself, that he wasn’t confused or caught up in some hysteria.“What are you waiting for?” the big-nosed guy waved his finger as if it couldn’t sit still. “Can’t you hear what I’m saying? Come and tie my shoelaces tightly. Do a double knot so they wouldn’t come undone so easily.”Denver was not sure how he should react to this.It was just tying the shoelace. Should he do it and then
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 151
After Denver had a clash with six low-ranking brothers and dealt with them single-handedly, he looked at the officers. “Can we go now?”The head officer nodded. “Yes, you can.”“Can we ride that lizard?” Catherine hesitantly asked.“Why not?” Denver said. “We will use it and then send it back to our brothers.” He looked at the remaining brothers who were still on their feet. “Do you have any problem? With your shoelaces, I mean.”“Eek!” All those remaining brothers immediately bailed from there, not wanting to suffer defeat and greater humiliation. They even forgot the fact that they were supposed to go on a mission.Denver and others then climbed the lizard, which didn’t show any resistance to them.“Where should we go now?” Denver asked Sheryl.“I thought the king would summon you,” Sheryl sighed. “But now, I’m not happy that we have to start from the bottom.”“We? You mean, you can take part in the rankings, too?”“No, only the children can have rankings, but I can represent you o
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 152
When dozens of men, women, teenagers, and children in rugged clothes rushed out of the building, holding spears, bats, and sticks as weapons, Catherine got quite nervous.“Run, lizard! Run!” Catherine shouted.The lizard was about to jump back to the hanging vines.“Get down from the lizard,” Sheryl quickly said and jumped.“No, no,” Catherine was saying, but Denver grabbed her waist and jumped from the beast.The lizard landed on the vines and dashed away without looking back.The people whom Catherine thought were attacking them stopped in their tracks and looked disappointed.“Damn it! It left!”“Why didn’t you guys catch it?”They yelled at Sheryl, Denver, and Catherine. Their gazes were far from friendly.“I-I thought they were going to attack us,” Catherine nervously uttered. “Why did they stop?”“They weren’t after us but the lizard,” Sheryl replied. “No edible vegetable or fruit is grown in this nameless zone. The primary way of survival is to eat meat… back in the days.”Cath
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 153
As the street commander guided Denver and others to his home, Sheryl made a phone call and said, “Don’t come to Hawk Park just yet.”“Who were you talking to?” Denver asked her.“Our kettle, of course,” she replied.“Kettle? The heck is that?” Catherine peered at Sheryl.“Low, mid, high, or top… Every ranker is allowed to form a group,” Shery told them. “If the group has only two members, it’s a cast. If it has three members, it’s a leash. If it has more than three, it’s a kettle. Most high rankers and top rankers are heads of their own powerful kettles, which help them get their missions done effectively. I was part of Boss Denver’s kettle, too. He’s not a ranker right now, so if our group comes to this place right now, it will only make things hard for them.”“That makes sense,” Denver gave her a thumbs-up.Soon, they arrived at a stone hut, which was a smaller place than they expected.A thick woman wearing a bikini walked out of the hut. “Jerry, who are these people?”“You should
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 154
There was only one bed inside the stone hut, and Catherine spread a blanket on it first before sitting down. “We don’t know how many people she slept with in this house, so I think we should find another house.”Denver sat next to her. “But it’s surprisingly cold here. We can get some good sleep.” He saw a bunch of dried grapes on the table, so he tossed some in his mouth and gave the other to her.Catherine glanced at him. “You said you grew up in this place. Are you really a virgin?”Denver nearly spit out the half-chewed food in his mouth. “Uh, definitely, I’m mentally a three-year-old virgin.”“Mentally, huh…” Catherine tossed the grapes away on the floor.“Hey, don’t waste food like that.”“We shouldn’t eat what’s here. Maybe there’s poison in it,” Catherine said.Denver raised an eyebrow. “We both know that the reason you threw them away wasn’t because you was afraid of poison.”Catherine frowned. “I’m just afraid of all the things that I might learn and end up regretting. Maybe
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 155
In the end, Catherine convinced Denver to come out of the stone hut, which surprised Sheryl.She thought these two were going to stay in the hut for the day.“Why are you out? Are there too many cockroaches inside?” she asked in an icy tone.“It’s still morning,” Catherine said, “you know.”“Yeah, but cockroaches roam in dark places. Also, aren’t you guys tired?” Sheryl stated. “Boss, if you want your body to fully absorb the herb, you have to sleep.”“I know,but she wants to pick another house to stay at,” Denver replied.“Another house?” Sheryl was not too surprised this time. “Was it because of the super spreader?”“We don’t want to be in this hut, knowing all the things she could have done inside,” Catherine quickly said.“But every house in this place has its issues,” Sheryl opined. “Getting adjusted will make your life easy.”“I don’t mind sleeping outside if that’s what we have to do,” Catherine retorted.“Fine then,” Sheryl shrugged her shoulders.Just then, they heard the sou
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 156
Sheryl asked an old man who was sitting by the side of the road and seemed too weak to move around.“Hello, sir, since when have these rodents been showing up where people live?” she asked him.“Feed me first,” he said and slowly lifted his head. Once he saw Sheryl and Denver, he remembered them. “Y-You two… I remember you two. All those years ago. You are the ones who fought the cerberus and killed it. Am I dreaming? Are you guys here to save us again?”“You are not dreaming, sir,” Shery responded. “We’re the ones who killed the cerberus that guarded the blood-thinner treasure. This man is Denver Nighthawk, the one who obtained that treasure.”“S-So, this isn’t a dream,” the old man’s eyes turned teary. “Please help us. You opened up the road to the beach last time and helped everyone here. But now, that path was sealed up, and monsters are finding their way inside. Everything changed since those two started living in the nameless zone. We have no proof, but they are definitely behin

Sheryl gave a small chocolate to the old man who gave them the information.“Thank you! Thank you so much!” He thanked her and then immediately chewed on the chocolate. Most of his teeth had rotten away, but he still chewed the tough chocolate like a dog biting on the bone.“Where are we going?” Denver asked Sheryl. “To the lost garden?”“No, let’s not recklessly rush there,” Sheryl said. “Let’s gather some information first. We’ll meet the commander of this street.”“Does every street have its own commander?” Catherine queried. “How are they chosen?”“The one who’s deemed to be the strongest in a street is called the commander,” Sheryl said. “It’s an unofficial title. Commanders change all the time.”There weren’t many people in this particular street, except at its center, where four streets joined.That was where the four commanders were sitting by a waterless fountain, as if they were waiting for Sheryl and Denver.“Are you the ones who beat Jerry?” the female commander asked. She

The twelve-feet tall open mouth of the monstrous serpent broke the wall into bits and zoomed in Denver from behind.He didn’t even look back.Placing his hand behind his back, he released a burst of red lightning that destroyed not just the blocks of the wall that were still in the air but also the serpent’s head.The snake lost half of its head, but it was still wriggling about, its head regenerating at a visible pace.“What the hell?” Alex was baffled. “How can it still be alive after half of its head is gone?”“The nanobots are healing it, I suppose,” Sheryl said. “We have to find the crystal chip that’s somewhere in its body. If we destroy that chip, then the snake won’t be able to regenerate.”“But where’s that chip?” Alex asked. “How will we know?”“I’m afraid my aura is not skillful enough to enter other people’s bodies and check them,” Sheryl responded. “That’s something medics are good at. I’m neither a medic nor a master aura user.”“Then we have to destroy the entirety of t
CHAPTER 170
Sheryl was walking in the front.Alex was behind her.Catherine was the third, and Denver was in the last as they explored the caves after he had opened up the closed path.The air hung thick and damp, tasting of mildew and something ancient, something that made the back of Catherine’s throat itch.She was unconscious before, so the eerie atmosphere now gave her chills.In the front, Sheryl was holding a makeshift torch, with the flickering flames painting grotesque shadows on the cave walls, which freaked Catherine out even more.Alex moved with a practiced grace, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.“Denver, this place smells rotten and metallic,” Catherine complained. “I don’t think I can bear it for long.”“Just vomit once more then,” Sheryl casually dismissed her words.“Yeah, if I do, I’ll do it on your face,” Catherine replied.Alex, who was in their middle, was just not able to focus because of these two. Suddenly, his nose jerked a little.“Wait…” He stopped. “Smell tha
CHAPTER 169
A fighter jet came flying toward Hawk Park.The military officials at the border launched a missile to destroy it, but none of the missiles hit it.The jet managed to breach the lands of the Hawk Park.“Haha,” the pilot in the jet snickered while chewing gum. “That was easy. I just have to dump the gift and then speed off and go get my million dollars.”Just then a person flew up through the clouds.“I-Is that a person?” The pilot was shocked to see Mickey who was floating in the jet’s path. “Is he trying to kill himself?”Mickey raised his hand, and the fighter jet’s speed came to a halt before it reached him.The pilot nearly shat his heart out through his butthole. He still quickly recovered and pressed the red button.A big missile dropped, but then it didn’t go the way he intended it to.Rather, it started to float and went under Mickey’s feet. Standing on it, he stared down at the pilot.The pilot dropped the gum in his mouth.“You gotta be shitting me…” All the hairs on his bod
CHAPTER 168
A few minutes later.Denver sat down on a broken rock, with Catherine sitting next to him.She was awake and was staring at Drake who was talking with Sheryl in the distance. “Who is he exactly?”“Don’t think too much,” Denver touched her neck to feel her temperature. “Are you feeling okay now?”“Yeah,” Catherine loved seeing the worry on his face. She quickly gave him a kiss.Seeing that, Alex’s eyes turned a little wider.Denver was feeling hot inside because of having to push himself to fight Drake, but Catherine’s kiss surprisingly made him feel better.It was just a simple kiss, but it was priceless to him.At the same time, he was wondering if he should tell Catherine about his past. After thinking about it, he said, “Cat, I might have killed some people in the past.”“Okay. So?”“Even women.”“So?” Catherine didn’t seem upset about it. “Don’t tell me you killed children, too?”“I don’t think so, but I don’t know,” Denver hesitantly said. “My memories are slowly coming back, but
CHAPTER 167
An area of over 12,000 sq ft was destroyed.Rubble was all that remained.Part of the stone caves were now exposed to the sky.Sheryl stood at the border of the destruction while carrying Catherine on her shoulder.Her heart beat anxiously. “Boss! Are you there?” she yelled.A giant pillar of black fire burst out of the rubble and then evaporated pretty fast, revealing Drake who was floating in midair,He had black wings made out of aura.He stared down at Denver who was holding Alex by the shirt.Denver was bleeding from the forehead, but his gaze was locked on Drake.His body felt like a blazing furnace from having used the blood lightning to a great extent.Still, he didn’t show any discomfort.Alex, on the other hand, was not conscious and was wounded. But he was still alive.“You stretched out your aura to destroy the falling blocks before it hit him,” Drake muttered. “I almost want to rejoice for witnessing such a brilliant move while our skulls clashed.”He came floating down a

“If you’re not going to do what’s good for you, then I will have to beat you and throw you in the dark cell by force,” Drake approached them, holding the black aural sword.“Didn’t my dad already punish me?” Denver asked while still carrying Catherine on his shoulder. “Why are you doing this now?”He didn’t want to fight Drake if possible, especially because of Catherine and Sheryl’s current situation.“I’m doing this for your own good,” Drake replied in a sharp tone. “Put that woman down if you don’t want her to get caught up in our fight.”Denver frowned.Feeling deprived of a better choice, he put Catherine next to Sheryl and said, “Stay back and stay alert.”“Boss, don’t keep your eyes on his sword,” Sheryl advised, “or you’ll lose.” She had already taken a healing pellet, so her bleeding stopped.“I’ll keep that in mind,” Denver clenched his fists, and red fumes released from his fists, turned into electricity and crackled the air around him.It soon spread throughout his body an

Sheryl couldn’t help but frown while looking at the old man with a hawk tattoo on his fully shaved head. (This bastard faked his aura and tricked us into coming here. I can’t believe I took the bait. Forget about getting a treasure, if he wants to make things difficult for us…) “What are you doing here, Penal Master?” she asked aloud.Drake wasn’t even looking at Sheryl. His gaze was on the tallest man. “Don Denver… you broke the code and went on a personal mission for three years.”“And the king has already stripped him of his rank,” Sheryl was quick to reply. “There’s nothing more for you to add to the king’s decree… unless you’re siding with one of the rankers and are taking their side, which means you are not fit to be the head of the penal hall since that position requires you to be neutral.”She had to talk provocatively in order to grab his attention.“Green Fang…” Drake’s eyes turned darker. “You didn’t stop your boss from leaving, so you should receive punishment as well.”“
CHAPTER 164
There were dozens of red eyes glowing in the darkness, which made Alex step back in trepidation.“These growls… they’re the dungeon jackals!” Alex quickly said. “They are smart, and there are so many of them. Even the slightest of wind gusts will turn this cigar lighter off, and we’ll become like sitting ducks to these jackals.”“Dude…” Sheryl pushed him aside. “Didn’t you hear us tell you that we’ve been here before? If those jackals are smart, they’ll know whom to pick a fight with and whom to not!”She released aura through her body, which was barely felt by Alex, and it also made the light flicker.However, the jackals which were closing in suddenly stopped. After sensing the aura, they were hesitant at first.Sheryl released more aura in the direction of the jackals, and they all turned and ran away.“The red eyes are gone,” Alex was quite surprised. “I’ve never seen those beasts retreat without even putting up a fight. Did you use aura? How did you do it?”“It’s not something yo
CHAPTER 163
After Catherine fainted, Denver caught her before she collapsed to the ground.The moment Denver sat on the ground with her, a few monsters rushed in and attacked them, wanting to make use of this situation to kill them.Sheryl fought beasts on one side, and Alex fought the beasts on another side, but there were too many for her to deal with, so Denver and Sheryl had to temporarily run away from there.The carnivorous trees also tried to catch them with their vines, but failed to do so as Alex led them through a secret passage which led them to enter the stone caves.Stone caves were an underground network of dungeons, where creatures stranger and stronger than the ones in the Lost Garden lived.There was no light in the tunnels of the stone caves.It was completely dark ahead of them.Alex took out a cigar lighter. “It is suicidal to enter this place without proper preparting, but we had no choice, so let’s find the nearest way out.”“First of all, we have to treat Catherine,” Denver
