The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 21
After coming out of the building, Stephen kicked an object on the side of the pavement to vent his frustration.“Can’t you tell your dad and get the diamond card blocked first?” Diane asked him.“The diamond card was given to my dad by someone,” Stephen made up a lie on the spot. “So, I can’t just recklessly tell him that it was stolen.”Diane frowned. “Then we have to get the card back somehow. If we have such a card with us, we can buy Pinkness back and do a lot more things.”“Of course. That’s my intention, too,” Stephen’s eyes were full of motivation. Denver appeared like a golden goose before his eyes. He wanted to cut open the goose and take all the eggs for himself, as many as he could.Meanwhile, inside the building.Denver still stood sternly, his hands in his pockets, staring seriously toward the exit. More than the fact that he managed to kick Diane out of the company, her betrayal still far outweighed. A rage continued to seethe within him, and a ball of hurt that

Stephen said he had some work to do and left on his own. So, Diane was forced to take the bus, which she obviously didn’t like.“He couldn’t even drop me at home,” Diane was hissing under her breath. “He’s not reliable at all. Once I get the company into my hands, I’ll slowly get away from Stephen, too.”Just then, her mobile received a notification.She checked the message and was shocked by it. She received a credit of 320 dollars from the company for the current month. With a note saying, ‘Don’t Cheat.’Diane’s face swelled with anger. “How dare you do this to me, Denver…" "You think you can drag me down like this? No, I will stand my ground!" "I will not back down. You’re not making this any easier for me.""I’ll make your life even more difficult.” She, who was planning on going home, ended up going to the police station. By the time she got there, she had bruises on her neck and arms.She told the police that her ex-boyfriend attacked her and made them file a complaint
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 23
As Denver was leaving the headquarters of Pinkness, the guard lowered his back and greeted him, “Forgive me for running my mouth, sir.”Denver almost forgot about the guard. “If I forgive you, will you be a loyal worker?”“I will, sir. I will,” The guard raised his body and looked at Denver expectantly.“Don’t judge people by their appearances and statuses,” Denver said and walked away.“Thank you, sir,” The guard quickly saluted. “My name is Joseph! I will do my best to not disappoint you, sir!”Seeing Denver heading to his old red Volkswagen, Joseph quickly scuttled over and tried to open the door. But it didn’t come out.Denver pressed the button on the key, and then Joseph was able to open the door.“You don’t have to do this for me,” Denver told him. “Just do the guarding job properly.”“Yes, sir.”After Denver drove away, Joseph let out a deep breath and took his cap down.“I thought I was going to lose my job. Luckily, I didn’t. I have to make up for my mistake somehow,
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 24
“What are the craters on the moon, Grandpa?” Terry Clarke, a six-year-old, asked his grandfather, Sage Clarke just as Denver entered the room.“You said it yourself. They are craters,” Sage replied.Terry twisted his little mouth in dissatisfaction which made Sage laugh.“They are caused by the bursting of gases from within,” Denver replied almost without himself being aware of it. He touched his forehead, and the vague image of a woman. Her smile flashed in his mind as he and the woman were sitting on a seashore and were staring at the moon. It felt like she was the one who told him those words.“Mm?”Sage’s gaze shifted to Denver.Seeing the receptionist with him, Sage said, “Are you Denver?”“U-Uh, yeah,” Denver didn’t think too much about this sudden but vague memory that popped in his mind. Who was that woman? She definitely didn’t seem like Diane, or Catherine, or even Sheryl. Why did he suddenly remember that memory? Either way, he had to focus on the task at hand.

A few minutes earlier.“I cannot believe that she actually destroyed the pool facility!” Subrina felt anger just thinking about it. “I knew she was crazy, but she’s become uncontrollable ever since Richard died.”“She needs to pay for this,” Catherine said. “She took some of Dad’s savings, didn’t she? Make her give that money to me." "Otherwise, I will never talk to you both, because you’re always supporting her." "That’s why she does anything she wants, without any limits!”Subrina quickly interrupted her."“D-Don’t talk like that. Both of you are equal to me,” "“Words are meaningless, Mom,” Catherine folded her arms and said firmly. “Prove it to me with your actions. Or else, I won’t believe you in this matter.”Subrina frowned. “But your sister… she will never give a penny of hers. You know that, right?”“That’s why you should force her.”Subrina said. “This house is written in her name, and we sold our old property. We have nothing on her. So, how can we force her?”“Aren
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 26
Subrina was utterly stunned to see what happened.Diane felt a stinging pain in her gut, but what shocked her even more was how her younger sister kicked her in her abdomen with no sense of care or concern. She was finding it hard to believe that this actually happened. But the reality was that she was now lying on the floor, grabbing her belly in escalating pain and frustration.“Catherine! How could you kick your sister?!” Subrina howled as she helped Diane get up to her feet.Catherine looked a bit guilty of what she did. Nevertheless, she still was angry. “Why don’t you also tell her that she shouldn’t talk without restraint? Denver is no longer her fiance,” She grabbed Denver’s hand. “He’s my man. I will not condone it if you keep disrespecting him.”Subrina was astonished to hear Catherine’s words. “Are you really taking his side over your family? He’s a stranger, Catherine!”Catherine’s eyes turned teary, the hurt in her voice breaking through her usually calm facade. “

As Denver was driving, he looked at Catherine’s elbow injury. “Should we go to a clinic?”“No, I hate the smell of the hospital,” she said. “I don’t want to go there anytime soon. I’ll just buy some ointment, and it should dry up overnight.”Denver smiled but not for long. “Are you really planning on distancing yourself from not just your sister but also your mom?”“She always takes Diane’s side,” Catherine’s voice contained anger as well as pain. “It’s like she’s in love with her or something. Why do some parents treat their children differently? My dad treated us both equally. In fact, I should say that you become his first priority more than me. Logically, I should be jealous of you…”“Haha, were you?”“No. Maybe, if Dad brought you when I was little, then I would have been angry, but I finished college by the time he brought you into the house,” Catherine said. “I think that’s the best thing he’s done in his life. He was proud of himself, too, that he managed to steal a good man a

At Sage Clarke’s mansion.He put his grandson to sleep by reading a story, and then came to his room. There were a few missed calls from his assistant, so he called her mobile. “Why did you call so many times?”“Boss, I did research on Denver and Cat Pools as you wanted,” the assistant replied. “Denver worked in our company for the past three years as he said. But it seems that Stephen Creamer is involved in the destruction of the pool property.”“Who’s that?” Wait, Creamer? Is he related to Edward?”“He’s Edward’s son, sir.”“Oh… I guess he didn’t have a good reason to destroy the pool property?”“I couldn’t get much information, but there’s something interesting I found out about.”“And that is?”“Denver is a diamond-card holder of the Den bank.”“Diamond card?” Sage’s expression changed. “Isn’t that an extremely rare card?”“Yes, Boss. I was shocked, too. Maybe he found it on the street out of luck?”“Haha,” Sage laughed loudly. “You think such a card can be randomly found on the st

CHAPTER 297
A storm-like energy completely engulfed not just the 81st floor but the entire tower.Catherine, Denver, and Yellow Tiger were at the center of it.Catherine was not able to take another step as her body was not moving as she wanted. The energy was so oppressive her knees grew weak.Denver, however, was still able to stand despite feeling as if his brain and body were swirling.“Eye of the Storm…” Yellow Tiger said in a tone that oozed raw power that quaked the very air all around. “Only two people have managed to escape this technique so far. One is the northern guardian White Phoenix, and the other one is the current head of the royal knights. Did you two pipsqueaks think you can run away from me and tell tales of it to others and mock me?”The pressure put on Denver strained his brain so much that a bit of the past flashed in his mind.“Boss, Boss!” Sheryl rushed over to Denver who just finished his mission of killing a deserter of Hawkers.Denver was gravely wounded at the time. “
CHAPTER 296
Catherine felt foolish for blowing a whistle which didn’t let out any sound. “Is it a one-time use object?”However, Yellow Tiger heard the inaudible noise that wasn’t heard by normal people. “This sound…” he fingered his ear. “That whistle must work like Spy Horn. Who did you call for help?”“My boyfriend,” Catherine replied. “If you don’t want your ass to be floored, then you better leave before he comes here.”“Who’s your boyfriend?”“My boyfriend is my boyfriend. Who else will be my boyfriend?”Yellow Tiger raised an eyebrow. “Does she have a screw loose or something? Or is she acting stupid on purpose?”He immediately turned into a flash and closed the distance.Catherine barely saw his blurry figure and reflexively threw a kick at him.All she hit was his afterimage.The next second, Yellow Tiger was standing right where his afterimage should be.He had all the time in the world to strike Catherine, but he sniffed her and said, “Is your boyfriend Denver? I smell him on you.”Ca

“That black mass is going to ruin your body from within,” Gray caught Catherine’s face with her bare hand and uttered, “Laser Bomb.”A hole opened up in her palm and blasted forth a powerful laser.The attack went right through Catherine’s mouth.Gray thought she had won, but the laser bomb shrunk in size and was compressed into a tiny ball.“What the…” Gray frowned.Catherine coughed the tiny ball out, which struck Gray’s face and destroyed half of it.But then Gray’s face began to regenerate, and Catherine couldn’t believe it. “Even the head can grow back? Just what the hell did you turn your bodies into? You can’t call yourself human anymore.”“Yeah, I’m not human. I’m Human N.0.”A few years back.Borg promoted Gray to being his direct assistant, and she was overjoyed by it.She was expecting many upgrades as well, and the first thing Borg did was inject her with some liquid which looked black.“What is this?” she asked out of curiosity. “It looks creepy.”Borg smiled. “But you’re

On the 63rd floor.Catherine and Gray were fighting intensely, and Gray felt like her body had grown thirty times heavier.As a result, she was receiving more damage than she could inflict.“I have never seen anybody bend laser beams, and you even deflected explosions,” Gray said with much hatred oozing from her eyes. “What kind of monstrous ability do you have?”“If you’ve got any prayers, make them,” Catherine was looking to use her killer punch on her opponent, but she had to be careful before closing in as Gray could still use laser beams. “You’re not going to be leaving this battle alive.”“I’m not afraid of death. I don’t have any family or friends,” Gray said. “But the only person I work for in this world is Borg. For him, I will kill or die if needed. And today, I will kill you and all the other intruders.”“You can daydream all you want, but you ain't gonna be nothing more than my sandbag, girl!” Catherine clapped her hands as Gray closed in.The floor and the ceiling started
CHAPTER 293
Yellow Tiger burst his way through the walls of the tower and entered the 56th floor.“Was it 56?”He stomped on the ground and destroyed the floor locally, thus falling into the 55th floor.“Mm?”He saw Deenver standing, putting his foot on top of the augman captain who had lost all of his limbs and was not able to regenerate.For a second, Yellow Tiger saw the king in Denver’s face.“Out of all the sons, you resemble the closest to him…” Yellow Tiger commented. “Do you know? When the couples are falling in love, they share more of their parents’ features. So the child looks more like them instead of looking like their grandparents or other relatives.”“What are you talking about?” Denver put pressure on his foot, making the augman captain cough blood out and cringe in pain. “Who are you?”“But you got more of your father’s features and not your mother’s….” Yellow Tiger smirked. “Then again, your skin color is closer to your mother. Your father isn’t as fair as you are.”Denver’s jaw
CHAPTER 292
A few minutes earlier.Alex was brought into the laboratory by a group of four augmen scientists.“Are we going to make another augman out of this guy?”“No, we were ordered to remove his conscience and turn him into a ruthless killer.”“Then we have to operate on both the hippocampus and amygdala.”“While we’re busy working on him, make sure nobody disturbs us, Bulk.”“Sure thing,” Bulk was sitting by the bench, slurping on noodles. He was nearly seven feet tall and looked massive with his muscles hidden beneath layers of fat.He was called Bulk because he never cut his meals. So, he looked like a walking bison.Bulk observed the augmen work on Alex’s brain.They began to extract his memories, which were being displayed on the screen in a zig-zag manner.“So he’s from some poor village, huh. He’s never going to go back there,” Bulk laughed. “So he should thank us.”Just then, the glass doors slid open, and Sheryl entered the hall.Her eyes momentarily froze when she realized that it
CHAPTER 291
Yellow Tiger bent his knees and leaped off the ground.He effortlessly reached the top floor and landed next to Borg.“Where is Denver right now?”“On the 55th floor,” Borg showed him the video feed. “He’s fighting my forces right now. Not sure what he wants, but I’d appreciate it if you can break his knees and take him away… Southern Guardian.”“55th floor, is it?” Yellow Tiger jumped off the balcony and clawed his fingers through the tough cement wall and slid down.Borg secretly smiled. “Yellow Guardian… he’s known for his ferocious fighting style. This martial art monster should be more than enough to deal with Denver. Once Denver is defeated, that’s when I’ll step in and take his ability from him. If I can get my hands on blood lightning, I can take my armor to a whole ‘nother level.”Meanwhile, Natalia used her coat, an advanced tech gadget, to fly through the air and reach great heights where a man was standing atop a cloud.He was a bald man with a rather sad expression on his
CHAPTER 290
Denver went downstairs because he knew Sheryl was going upstairs.“Sheryl’s senses improved greatly after she acquired her superpower,” he thought. “She has more chances of finding Minerva than I do, but I can’t let that slow me down,either.”Denver went for one spot to another in a quick flash while destroying the cameras and any robots that were in his path.“I hope this helps create the diversion for Sheryl to succeed.”Because of the ruckus Denver caused on floors below 60, a lot of augbeasts and augmen rushed to these floors.Denver didn’t use his lightning but rather used aura to blast through the augbeasts, but he only knocked the augmen out.To his shock, the augbeasts regenerated at a visible pace.“What the heck?” He was baffled to see a whole machine arm of an augman captain regenerate fast, but then he remembered what Sheryl had said about regenerating and reproducing bots.“Haha,” the augman captain laughed. “Have you never seen a machine regenerate before? We use what ou
CHAPTER 289
Sheryl knocked the two guards out and tossed them aside.“You went easy on them,” Catherine said as they were rude to her.“They were augmented humans, so fighting them would only waste our energy,” Sheryl stated. “When you fight them, you’ll know.”“I will check for myself later on,” Catherine nodded in excitement.“I think they alerted everyone in the building,” Sheryl also said. “Time for us to change.”They quickly changed their masks to look like the guests.And then they rushed out of the room.Within seconds, many flying bots arrived there, but they didn’t attack Denver and others. They just went right past them.“I was doubtful,” Catherine gave a thumbs-up, “but it worked.”It was Sheryl’s idea, but Sheryl didn’t brag about it.“Were those the self-exploding bots?” Denver queried.“Yeah, the worst part about them is that they can replicate, so there’s no end to them,” Sheryl replied.“Replicate?” Catherine felt like she lost a few of her brain cells. “Aren’t they machines?”“T
