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.”

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Carrying four cement bags that totaled a backbreaking 440 pounds, Denver looked like it was no big deal.With steady steps, he climbed the ladder to the second floor of the building in the construction.Today’s grind was simple but grueling.Hauling all the cement and sandbags upstairs.His reward? A measly 30 bucks.It wasn’t much, but he had no choice.He was working for the future of his family.Denver carefully placed the bags in a dry corner, wiping a bit of sweat from his brow. Just as he straightened up, a distinct click-clack caught his ear.The rhythm of high heels on concrete.A woman in a sleek purple dress with three-quarter sleeves.Her dark hair flowing like silk, and a face as radiant as the morning sun.She looked and swayed like a model, and was so out of place in this dirty site!Every other worker dropped their jaws as they saw her.What was a woman like her—dressed to kill in a stunning outfit—doing at a dusty construction site?From the distance, her wide, sparkli

    A quick, vicious punch to Denver’s face.BAM~!It was a super-solid punch. Denver’s head twisted more than ninety degrees.“And who did you call a clown?” Stephen snorted, cracking his knuckles. “Know your place, big guy. "You’re not someone who even deserves to be around a beauty like her. "Just being big isn’t enough. You need class, too.”He had enough experience in boxing. So even though Denver had a bigger build than him, he was confident in winning this fight.Denver turned his head back toward them. When Diane put her hand on Stephen’s shoulder.Denver looked angrily and disappointedly at the woman who did something unimaginable to him.“Let me show you what real class looks like!” Stephen began to shuffle his feet like a boxer and got into his hunting stance.As Denver took a step forward, Stephen swiveled and crafted a powerful back kick.He thought would secure him a sure victory. Because back kicks were so powerful.However, Denver caught Stephen’s left foot thrusti

    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

    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
