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

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,

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

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 Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 158
Denver, Catherine, and Sheryl arrived at a building which was without doubt the most spectacular in terms of its intricate designs.It was a massive cathedral-like building, spanning in a whooping 600 acre zone. It was too big for a man’s eyes to take in at once from the front gates. Its height also reached hundreds of meters, piercing the low-hanging clouds.“This is the Lost Garden?” Catherine’s heart started to race a little bit. “This is like one of those abandoned castles where scary people live, but this is so much more intimidating.”“What we’re seeing is only like a wall,” Sheryl replied. “Once we get past this wall, we won’t be inside a house but a garden full of strange plants and trees.”Soon, they arrived at the front gate.There was only one guard sleeping outside. He lifted up his hat and looked at the three people. “New faces. Are you planning on entering the garden? Did you bring the money? If you don’t have gold, we’ll take your blood, too.”“Blood?” Sheryl was a bit
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 159
The growl made Catherine turn back in fright.A ten-foot-tall scar-faced beast resembling a wolf approached them. It looked abnormally long, with its spine having multiple peaks and valleys, its eyes glowing an unnatural green and its fur glistening with sap-like poison.“W-What the hell is that?” Catherine was quick to hide behind Denver. “Is that a wolf?”“Sometimes, the gigantification goes wrong and produces these kinds of beasts, and the garden distorts their features even more,” Sheryl said, glancing at her. “It seems like it escaped from the garden somehow. You said you might be stronger than me, so why don’t you defeat it, Catherine Palmer?”“N-No, you’re still more experienced than me, so you should fight it,” Catherine nervously replied. It felt like the wolf was staring right at her just like a person’s portrait on the wall would. “You can do it, Sheryl. I believe in you.”“Hmph, you sure got a silver tongue,” Sheryl then stepped forward, which made the wolf howl.It was lo

“Wait a second,” the guard blocked Diane’s path with his left arm. “You can’t leave without showing the bill receipt, ma’am.”Even though he said ‘ma’am,’ Diane didn’t like the look in this guy’s eyes.He was one of those men who were foolishly proud of doing their job correctly.Seduction might not work on these types of men, and Diane wasn’t the type to seduce someone who looked much older than her, either.Besides, she was never the type to receive insults, and she was also not in a good mood right now.All of this added up and made Diane touch the guard’s hand.The guard pulled his hand away. “If you don’t have the receipt, then you can’t leave,” he stressed his words.But then, he felt a stinging sensation in his chest.It made him feel weak.As he touched his chest, his sight also turned blurry.“This is what happens when you mess with people who are way out of your league,” Diane coldly said and walked away.The guard couldn’t even hear her words clearly because his sense of he

Diane was eating black grapes while lying down on the patient bed.The air conditioner was turned on, and a nurse was showing her the latest local news on a mobile website.“Why have they still not published the news?” Diane frowned. “Is the Myers family keeping the accident completely hidden? They have the power to do it. Tsk, at this rate, I’ll have to pay him a visit to find out his current situation, whether he's alive or not.”Diane glanced at the nurse. “Bring me pistachio milk. I like it cold.”“Y-Yes, ma’am,” the nurse didn’t mind doing chores for Diane because the head nurse had ordered all the nurses to take great care of Diane and the brothers.After the nurse left, Diane started talking with the system.“They are doing all the tests for me even though I look fine,” Diane snickered. “The doctors really love money, but I’m not going to pay them anything. If the men who admitted me here pay for me, it’s fine, but if they leave it to me, I won’t pay a dime. Also if it shows in

In Creed Zone.The old cobbler who had sent the sandpaper system after Diane was closing up his shop.“I wonder how things are happening with that system. Whether it transforms the girl into a sweet angel or a disastrous demon remains to be seen.”Miles away from Creed Zone.On one of the interstate highways.“What the hell happened in the time we lost sight of the car?”Little Dog, who was in the driving seat, got out of his car before it completely stopped.He whipped his leg, and the wind generated from his kick stopped the flames.“A third of the car on the front side is destroyed,” Little Dog tried to rip out the front door. “Damn, it’s not coming. It melted into the rest of the car.”Big Dog also joined and forcefully tore apart the back door.They were expecting severe casualties, but Diane stepped out with minor wounds and coughing.“P-Please save him,” she hurriedly said and collapsed to the side.However, to her surprise and confusion, the brothers grabbed her and rushed to

Diane used the check Charlotte had given her and credited a million dollars into her own account, which she later transferred to the Den Bank.She was a bit worried about whether the transfer would happen or not, but after the money successfully transferred, she felt so relieved, confident and arrogant at the same time.She mocked Charlotte in her heart, calling her foolish for giving away a million dollars and even allowing her to transfer it to the Den bank.“Don’t underestimate Charlotte Heller,” the sandpaper system warned her. “That woman didn’t seem to have any superpowers, but she definitely gives off an abnormal aura. She’s not simple, so don’t underestimate her and let your guard down.”“Hmph, of course I know that she’s not simple,” Diane snorted. “She’s the owner of one of the biggest banks in the world. I’m sure she has crazy influence around the world, but with you by my side, I’m also sure that I can fight back against such bigwigs. Don’t you agree?”“I do agree,” the sy

After the board meeting ended, Diane was leaving with a dejected look.“You,” Jessica told her. “Come to our office.”Russell and Jessica together exited the room.“Why did she call me?” Diane wondered a bit anxiously. “Wait, if it’s going to give me a chance to talk to Russell, then I’ll take it.”Diane quickly went to Russell’s office.Jessica was sitting on the edge of the desk and was feeding berries to Russell. “Show us the recordings.”“Are you really asking for those recordings after the meeting finished?” Diane sounded impatient.She somewhat envied what Russell and Jessica were doing. It even upset her.“Yeah. Depending on whether you did what I said or not, you will either keep or lose your job,” Jessica warned.Diane then showed all the recordings that were on her mobile.Jessica looked at Russell. “What do you think?”“You asked for ten. She brought twelve. So, what’s there to think?” Russell spoke calmly.He looked calm but also a little tough and difficult to understand.
CHAPTER 277
A few minutes later.Diane arrived at the Creed Tech company, only to see Marlon there on the ground floor.“What the hell are you doing here?” she openly showed venomosity toward him. “The likes of you don’t deserve to step foot in here.”“I could say the same,” Marlon snorted as both of them entered the elevator. “You looked hot as hell, but down there, you were unbearably hot. It felt like I was going to lose my chad.”“You mean you were going to lose your shrimp.”“Hmph, you’re going to regret it if you keep talking to me like that,” Marlon warned. “I’m not the type who’d go easy on women just because they’re women.”Diane took out her identity card.“Finance director? Who? You?” Marlon slightly frowned.“Surprised?” Diane snorted. “I’m not just any finance director. I’m representing Charlotte Heller today, and I’m going to sit alongside the board of directors.”“Oh, then I should go early so that I won’t be forced to sit next to you.”“Haha, you wouldn’t have to worry about it as
CHAPTER 276
Diane got twelve recordings in total.And she was on her way back to the Creed Tech company.Diane’s skin looked much smoother, and she was shining like a barbie doll because her system had done it for her.So, her confidence has multiplied manyfold.Receiving so many gazes from both men and women was very satisfying to her.“Mm?” Diane noticed that a new store was being opened. It seemed like a jewelry store, but the items were all the ones that were found in the Dream Creed game.So, there was a huge crowd in front of the store.The one cutting the ribbon at the front was none other than Marlon Myers, the son of the Myers family.They were billionaires and were famous for their clothing brand.The moment Diane saw Marlon, her heart fluttered once.He was a handsome man who seemed to be around thirty years of age. He was tall and looked like he was the son of a mafia don or something.Diane slipped her way through the big crowd without any problem whatsoever.Her system had made it p

Diane heard a voice ringing in her mind, “Congratulations, cunt! You’ve been chosen by the Sandpaper System!”She stopped and looked around.It didn’t seem like anybody called her.“Was it just my imagination?”She kept walking.“You sure are a nasty person, aren’t you?” the voice rang in her mind again. It sounded eerily familiar to her father’s voice.Diane stopped in her tracks and looked around.Again, there was nobody around her, so whose voice was she hearing?“You cried when your dad died, but on that same night, you secretly celebrated his death,” the voice rang out in her mind once more. “To think you would celebrate your own father’s death… I have rarely come across someone as diabolical as you are.”Diane’s heart started racing.She did buy some alcohol and drank to her heart’s content that very night Richard died.When Denver asked her why she drank, she cried and said that she drank out of sadness and due to the pain of losing her father.Denver easily bought her words.D
CHAPTER 274
Diane left the building, looking frustrated to say the least.“How can the richest man in the country have such a mediocre-looking wife? And her ego is through the roof. How dare she humiliate me by giving me a ridiculous task?”“I have to get video recordings of helping ten people?”“Does she think I can’t do it?”Diane went to the nearest store, which turned out to be selling some kind of liquid.“What is this that you’re selling?” Diane asked. “Why is there no signboard?”“No shops in this region have signboards, ma’am,” the shopkeeper said.Diane looked around. “Now that you said it… you’re right. There are no store names written at the entrance, either. It is strange. How can people know which store is which?”“They just have to ask and find out,” the shopkeeper said. “Only a few buildings like the Creed Tech company or Eco Waves have names written on them. If we do a good job and earn great reviews from our customers, then we can put names on our stores, too. Until then, we can’
