The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 183
Despite hearing the words of Durk, Denver didn’t open his eyes.He was still focused on scanning the dead serpent lord’s body and hoped that it contained the secret treasure.“You take care of Green Fang,” Durk told Zinga, and she leaped from the cloud and landed ever so silently on the serpent’s body.Sheryl coldly stared at Zinga. (She’s born and trained as an assassin in South Africa. Even after illegally entering this country, she killed many high profile figures and attracted the attention of Hawkers. If I take her lightly just because she’s wielding a bow, I will be the one losing.)“Can you afford to lose your concentration when I’m around?” Durk’s voice appeared behind her.Sheryl’s heart trembled for a second, and she immediately swung the sword behind her, but what she cut turned out to be a mere foggy illusion of Durk.“Did I scare you?” Durk, who was still sitting on the cloud, laughed with amusement.“This psychotic bastard…”Sheryl’s eyes widened. She swiftly moved her h

Seeing not one but two treasures, Zinga’s eyes were immediately filled with greed.She was about to shoot a weeping arrow, but Durk stopped her.“Don’t.”Durk then stepped forward with a cold smile. “This is unexpected, but it is for the better. Now we don’t have to fight among ourselves for the treasure since there’s not one but two of them. We can just take one each.”“Hmph,” Sheryl quickly moved closer to Denver. “We have no idea what kind of abilities are inside these crystals, so how can we share one each?”“Because we don’t know the details, we can freely take one treasure each,” Durk said. “The one with the greater luck will receive a better skill.”“And why would we have to give you a treasure for free?” Sheryl retorted.Durk forced out a smile. “I’m the third ranker, ‘The Master of the Night’ Durk Nighthawk.”“So what?” Sheryl snorted. “I’m Green Fang, the right-hand woman of Don Denver.”Durk’s expression turned serious. “So be it. I’ll just kill both of you and take the tre

A few years back.“What? He left Hawk Park?” Durk was confused more than surprised. “What’s he thinking?”“After he brutally killed the ninth and the tenth rankers, we thought that the king would kill him,” Zinga said disappointedly. “But the king only gave him the punishment to cut a million trees! Back when you did it, King Casil killed all your followers, didn’t he?”“That’s because the king takes away what you treasure the most,” Durk said. “I prefer being hated to being ignored. But when I lost my army, many people ignored me. I couldn’t sleep well for many nights. It seems to be the opposite in Denver’s case. He’s being hated, not ignored. He’s part of the Hawkers, yet he’s not living in Hawk Park. He’s going to be hated even more when he returns… which means the king believes that Denver wants the opposite.”“To be one family with all siblings?” Zinga wondered. “Through force?”“Any means possible.”The concept of genuine love was foreign to those who grew up in Hawk Park, but

Within seconds after Sheryl swallowed the seed, she not only felt a change in her body, but she was able to feel the world around her.All the grass and the trees in the neighborhood were reacting to the power surging with her.“This power…” Sheryl grinned. “Is it what I think it is?”She lifted her hand and clenched her left fist.A tree root swiftly rose out of the ground right in front of Zing and wrapped itself around her very tightly.“Ugh!” Zinga screamed in pain. “What the hell is this?”“Your grave,” Sheryl squeezed her with the intent to crush her body and kill her, but Durk broke the tree root with a kick and saved Zinga.By that time, Zinga had multiple of her bones and joints broken, so she appeared quite in distress.Durk created a cloud and sent Zinga flying away on it.“I can’t let you take her away, Durk,” Sheryl waved her arm, and giant trees grew all around her and stretched their branches out in a complex manner and completely trapped the space so that there would b

“Just kill me,” Zinga uttered painfully, her voice mixed with a bit of regret and a lot of rage.“Oh, you don’t need to tell me that, sweetie,” Sheryl caused dozens of sharp tree branches to come down at her.“Wait,” Denver said.Sheryl stopped the branches in their tracks, but they still moved to and fro a little bit. “Boss, we have to kill her. She’s an assassin with a scary history. She’s too dangerous to be kept alive.”“Do you still love and respect Durk, or do you hate him?” Denver asked Zinga.“I don’t hate him or love him,” Zinga replied. “He did what’s best for him.”“How can leaving his subordinate like this be best for him?” Denver coldly said. “I don’t know about my other siblings, but this guy, Durk, does not have the qualities to become a king.” Denver then looked at Sheryl. “Leave her be.”“Huh? Boss, she tried to kill both of us!” Sheryl raised her voice. “Why would you want to keep her alive? She’s not someone who’ll feel grateful because you spared her life!”“If you
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 188
“What the hell are you doing!” Catherine leaped, covering the ground in long jumps, and then continued it up with a high jump and thrust her feet at Sheryl’s upper body.It wasn’t any martial art technique.It was something that Catherine did out of pure adrenaline rush and the instinct and desire to have her man for herself and no one else.It wasn’t the desire to compete with another woman for her man but something more profound. It was the desire to never have to compete with another woman for her man.Catherine’s feet struck Sheryl’s shoulder, but Sheryl didn’t even budge.Catherine was about to collapse back, but Denver quickly held her in his arms by moving spots pretty quickly.Sheryl looked quite surprised that he was able to slip out of her hug before she could feel it happening.“Denver, you should tell her to stay in her limits!” Catherine complained while Denver was still holding her in her arms. She was kicking her legs, trying to hit Sheryl while still in that position li

The energy that Catherine released managed to scare most of the beasts that were still in that region.“This isn’t how you expected things to go, or did you? President Natalia?” Drake was talking to the president of the Mother Council. “Why did you stop the beasts from attacking them after the third son left?”“As expected, he gave the second treasure to another woman,” Natalia laughed heartily. “I knew he was an idiot, but now I’m sure that he’s an idiot through and through. He doesn’t even seem to know what makes his blood lightning ability so different from other abilities. And for him to give away such precious treasures to those women who can easily switch sides tomorrow….”Natalia wiped her tears of laughter.“Why would I stop him when he’s digging his own grave, Drake?” Natalia looked at him.“Green Fang didn’t shift sides even when Denver has been gone for three years,” Drake voiced his mind. “You think she’ll switch sides after all this time?”“With this incident, Denver has
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 190
For the past three years, Denver battled the unforgiving sun and the dust devils that danced across the construction sites.He experienced the hardness of bricks, the toughness of concrete, and the harshness of the construction worker’s environment more than anything else.Despite wearing all the necessary gear, his skin would still feel hot by the end of the day.There were many nights where he would go to bed early but wouldn’t actually fall asleep not until two or three in the morning as it would take his body so long to cool down.When he explained this issue with his uncle Richard, he told him to drink lemon water or eat cucumber which cools his body quickly and makes him fall asleep relatively faster.Denver, however, couldn’t do as Richard told him because Richard’s wife wouldn’t let him take lemons let alone cucumbers from the kitchen, and whenever she saw him taking two lemons at a time, she would cry over it.So, Denver only drank lemon juice outside, which cost much more th

Diane started rubbing her palms together.“Let me bring you a chilled drink,” the manager told her and was walking toward his tent.Just then, the main building’s ceiling collapsed. All the metal and cement crashed pretty fast, giving little to no time for anybody to react.The people who were on the top fell right into the broken iron beams, which pierced their bodies.Some died on the spot, whereas some suffered bad injuries and were not in a position to move.“Oh, no!” Diane covered her mouth with both hands and moved back as a cloud of dust filled the entire property.The manager stood in frozen shock as something completely unexpected had happened.The noise was also loud enough for Little Dog and Big Dog to hear.And they also saw the building collapse.They rushed out and made sure to check on Diane from a distance. Only after seeing that she was safe, they felt relieved.“A building collapsed like that, and she’s standing there instead of running away,” Little Dog opined. “She

“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
