The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 173
Denver was carrying Catherine on his back and dashed through the tunnels so fast that Catherine couldn’t see anything.Alex couldn’t keep up with Denver.“S-Slow down, Denver!” Catherine cried out.Denver stopped right after exiting through one of the exits to the caves.Catherine got down from his back and touched her chest, trying to calm her heart down.A blurry figure broke out of the rubble and attacked them.Denver reacted quickly and blasted that person away with his thunder-like fist that sent out a destructive shockwave.The attacker crashed on the ground.Denver recognized him.It was Zack whom he had met in the Lost Garden.“You shouldn’t have come back for revenge, dude. You may be my brother, but I can’t just let you kill me.”Denver leaped toward Zack.Just then, another figure broke out of the rubble right beneath him and pierced him in the chest with a spear.Denver coughed out blood as he saw Ripley grinning like a beast.“Denver!” Catherine clutched her cheeks and cr

Holding the spear with both hands, Sheryl thrust it and pierced the boy on the side, utterly shocking him.“Nngg!” he coughed out blood from the mouth. “What… have… you… done!”As blood spilled and fell on Sheryl’s face, she let go of the spear and shivered in shock.Moments later, she recovered, and then grabbed a bag of fruits and ran away from the storage room.The boy, who was still hanging, had to raise his legs and pull the spear out with his feet. He tossed the spear up and caught it with his mouth.This movement made him bleed some more.Still he started spinning his body with as much force as he could, and the spear helped him balance his body effectively.The chain bundled together, and his body rose all the way to the ceiling.With one vicious down pull, he pulled the chain out of the ceiling and landed on the floor.Blood spurted out from his ribs.He had to take a few breaths to bear the pain and stand tall on his feet. Afterward, he removed the blindfold and rushed out o

The six-year-old Denver was walking down the street while chewing on dried meat.Sheryl was keeping her distance from him and traced his footsteps.Denver got annoyed and asked her. “Why are you following me?”“I-I don’t want to die. You saved me,” she said, frowning in pain because of her wounds, “so take responsibility for me.”“Responsibility? What’s that?” Denver snorted. “Can I sell it and buy meat or exchange it with gold?”Sheryl’s frown deepened. “I’m just seven years old.”“So? I’m only six.”Sheryl’s jaw dropped. “Y-You’re just six years old? You’re lying!”“Lying isn’t in my dictionary!”“It must be a liar’s dictionary then.”Denver, annoyed by her, turned around and just kept walking.“You can take these cherries if you want,” Sheryl said, showing her bag. “I was attacked for this bag just now.”But Denver didn’t stop let alone look back.“I was the one who stabbed you,” Sheryl added, stopping Denver in his tracks.He turned around with a serious face and leaped at her lik

A few minutes earlier.After closing her eyes, Sheryl could feel so many presences concentrating in the tunnels and were heading toward her.“There are so many of them…” she gritted her teeth and tightened the grip on the sword. “That damned Drake and the Mother Council… What the hell are they planning? If even some of these get out, the entire Nameless Zone might be in danger.”In a few seconds, dozens of hideous monsters who were being mind-controlled came dashing at Sheryl like a plague of death, creeping on the ground, the walls and the ceiling alike.There were human-faced blobs bouncing off the walls, shells of flesh golems springing up their boneless feet, chimeras with varied shapes and multiple heads, and the humanoid dead who were recycled to look like zombies straight out of horror stories.Most of them were creatures experimented upon to not just look scary but also possess strength, speed, and killer moves.“Talk about ugliness…” Sheryl muttered under her breath, just aft

“D-Durk Nighthawk? What the hell are you doing here?” Sheryl couldn’t hide the trepidation in her tone.“Fools go in for work when they feel ready,” Durk replied, “but for me, there’s no such a thing as tomorrow. I like to drink, work, and fuck… today. The perfect time is now.”“You didn’t answer my question,” Sheryl barked with annoyance. She was just buying time so that the muscles in her arms would recover from fatigue. “You clearly drank too much. What about you, Zinga?” she looked at the black-haired woman wielding a bow whose gaze was sharp but not cold.“Would predators listen to the cries of their prey?” Zinga replied, taking another arrow from the quiver. It was a thin metallic arrow, through which she imbued aura before shooting it.Sheryl immediately jumped back and stomped on the ground.Both the arrow and her feet struck the ground and collapsed the ground beneath them, which was the ceiling for the stone cave.Sheryl used this opportunity to run through the tunnels and e

The humid air hung heavy in the cave, thick with the smell of mildew and something acrid, like burnt metal, all of which signaled the arrival of the massive monster.Sheryl stood poised, her bare feet gripping the slick, moss-covered stone.Before her coiled a nightmare made real: a serpent of impossible size, its scales shimmering like obsidian in the flickering aural flame created by Durk’s forefinger.Five massive horns, like polished obsidian, erupted from its head, twitching as if sensing the vibrations in the stone.The red crystal on its forehead gave away its identity.This was Naga, the last remaining guardian of the Whispering Stone Caves, a beast whose legend whispered of venom so potent it could melt rock and metal alike.This was a beast which had once stood its ground against the wretched Cerberus, and their stories of their drool raining down as arrows on Nameless Zone and killing hundreds were still talked about by the old folks.Sheryl swallowed, the metallic tang of

A couple of minutes earlier.Denver was running while carrying Catherine on his shoulder.“Are you really alright?” She kept asking him the same question.“I’m fine. My wound is healing. Trust me,” Denver assured her. Running while carrying her wasn’t the difficult part for him.What troubled him more was that he could sense all the monsters rushing out of the caves.They were numbered in hundreds.He wanted to run to a safe place, but then he sensed something rushing toward them at a terrific speed.Denver stopped and shouted at Alex. “Watch out. Something is right behind you!”“What?” Alex turned around, only to see a giant worm jump out of the ground. He tossed his severed arm into its mouth and jumped out of its way.This little effort from Alex bought him a couple of seconds, which helped Denver unleash a thunder fist from a distance.The worm’s front half of the body got blasted to bits.But the later half of the body still moved, and it quickly went underground.Alex may have s

In the royal palace.King Casil was sitting behind a screen and was having lunch.“Your Majesty,” Ingrid, the royal knight captain, wearing a gold earring and a white suit, was standing at the lowest stair leading to the throne. “You can hear it, too, can’t you? The caves are rumbling.”“The council members must be getting impatient,” Casil said.“They must be going after Denver,” Ingrid gripped his sword. “This isn’t right. Should I go and deal with the monsters?”“Don’t. Let’s see how he gets out of this one,” Casil stated.Ingrid slightly frowned. “Your Majesty, why did you let Denver leave for three years? If any other son did it, you would have killed them.”“Denver is different from his siblings,” Casil said. “He doesn’t covet the throne. He kills those who harm his people. He does what he believes is necessary. He has all the important qualities to become the king, but he doesn’t desire to be the king. Yet, he’s here because his brothers don’t leave him alone. So, let’s see wha

“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’
