The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 217
The waves at the shore calmed down, and some of the fishermen took the boats to the sea.Minerva was forced to sit on the wooden bench on that chilling night. She was shivering from the cold.She demanded Lark to let her go, but Lark told her she could leave through the sea route if she so badly wanted to go back home.“You…” Minerva looked at Alex. “One-armed guy. Release me, and I’ll make you rich. I’ll give you a million dollars. Even more if you beat the shit out of Lark.”“I’m afraid I’m not strong enough to beat him,” Alex replied.“You still haven’t answered my question, Madam Minerva,” Lark said. “Did any man ever buy you flowers?”“I don’t have time for dating. I barely left Hawk Park before. And I’m satisfied with my current life,” she said.“You’re already in your thirties, so when are you going to get married? Clearly, your mom doesn’t seem to care about you, or maybe she’s purposely making sure that you’d never get married.”“Stop spouting bullshit,” Minerva growled. “My
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 218
At two o'clock in the night.Sheryl was at the top of the Rose Tower she had recently built, looking around for any disturbance.“Natalia must be itching to destroy us,” she thought, remembering the first time she met the old woman in the Nameless Zone.Natalia was old at the time, but she lifted a car with one finger and picked up her cat that was hiding under the car. She had searched the entire Hawk Park for her cat back then.“I wasn’t strong enough to fight that old monstrosity and win in the past, but now, things changed,” Sheryl clenched her fists. “I will pay her back for all the trouble you’ve given me and my boss over the years.”“I must say…” Lark smiled as he entered the rooftop,” this tower is pretty neat and beautiful with all the flowers for view and fragrance. “And… damn… what a view!” He reached the edge of the rooftop and stood next to her, looking down at the shore from an elevated position with flowers mildly glowing at the shore. “The ocean with the stars and all…

“Let's just beat everyone and steal all the valuables they got,” Lark was laughing with excitement, cracking his knuckles and ready to fight.Sheryl was also planning to fight, but only after getting closer, she noticed the old man standing behind Kuro Yama.“Give up on the idea of fighting,” Sheryl uttered.“Huh? What’s the big deal?” Lark frowned in annoyance. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”“Don’t you see that red-eyed monster?”“Red-eyed?” Lark looked toward the ship and noticed the burnt-marked old man. “Who is he?”“The strongest man of Japan,” Sheryl said.Lark’s eyes widened. “Killer King Shindo…” Lark had heard about him before. “The Shadow of the Yakuza Boss. Why is he on this ship now?”The identity of Shindo was enough to make Lark loosen his fists.Kuro stood on the bull-head of the ship, smiling sharply at Sheryl. “I have seen many foreign beauties, but your class is magnetic on another level.”Sheryl, while chewing bubble gum, stared down at Kuro. “Save your en

Lark didn’t think Sheryl would launch an attack as she was the one who had told him to not even think about fighting.He wasn’t sure if she was just taunting or really attacking, but the moment she unleashed tree roots onto Kuro, Lark also leaped onto the ship.Half of the branches flew toward Kuro.He kicked them and cut them all, albeit with effort. The pressure he put in his feet made the bull-head under him crack.The other branches attacked the rest of the people on the ship, while also trying to catch the little children.Shindo acted and struck the tree branches with coins he had taken out of his pocket. The coins destroyed the branches to bits, and he managed to stop all the branches.“Tsk,” Sheryl appeared annoyed. (As expected, he’s hard to fool.)“You pretended to attack Waka-sama, and tried to take the kids away from us,” Shino’s gaze turned hellish hot.But then the wooden footing underneath their feet came off and snatched all the children and brought them over to her wh
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 221
After Sheryl heard about the commotion happening at the store, she realized that Shindo wasn’t lying.Without waiting, she dashed northward as Minerva was supposed to be in that direction, but Shindo easily caught up with her and punched the air.His punch released a destructive vibrational energy that utterly broke the tree branches to smithereens.Sheryl was sent packing into the waters. Her back crashed into the seabed hundreds of feet below.“To this day, so many monsters have tried to take my life, but they all failed,” Shindo once more punched the air from high above, sending a shockwave that put a giant spiraling hole in the waters and struck Sheryl.“Whoa…” Lark, who was watching that from a distance, couldn’t help but frown. “That geezer is freaking crazy. He’s probably as strong as Penal Hall Master Drake. Will Green Fang be able to handle such a monster?”Lark noticed that Sheryl had created a wooden barrier above herself to avoid receiving a direct impact of Shindo’s attac
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 222
Kuro brought the child’s body in line with Lark’s punch.Lark changed the direction of his attack at the last second and managed to hit Kuro’s shoulder instead.Kuro’s hand dropped the kid.Lark speared his shoulder into Kuro and took him further away from the children.Kuro used the sand under his feet to stop Lark’s momentum. He flipped Lark over the shoulder and smashed him to the sandy ground. Sand got into his eyes. “Any form of weakness will only lead to a loss. Your weakness seems to be your mother.”He firmly pressed Lark down with his foot, then caught Lark’s arm and twisted it viciously.“It’s too bad that she’s killed herself, or I would have turned her into a decadent whore just like the Kardashians and make her wear lingerie in public and nothing but body paint on Halloween. I bet you’d get turned on by it, wouldn’t it?”“Shut the fuck up!” Lark used aura to rid his eyes of the sand. He also tried to release aura to break free with force, but Kuro pressed down on Lark’s c
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 223
Lark used his Rapid Aura Release technique to multiply his speed and strength. He unleashed all of the fist and kicking techniques he knew to not just defeat Kuro but crush him.With his ribs bruised and injured, Kuro wasn’t having the best of his time dodging and blocking the killer attacks of Lark, but he somehow clung to his life.Shindo suddenly intervened and sent Lark packing into the distance with a palm thrust.“Whew…” Kuro was a bit relieved now.“Why are you struggling against just one man, Waka-sama?” Shindo asked, appearing quite disappointed.“He was stronger than I thought. He fights like an assassin,” Kuro explained.“I see. He’s a bad match-up to you, but excuses like that won’t make you the Yakuza boss in the future,” Shindo replied coldly. “I suggest that you fight him and overcome him right now. It will do good for your confidence.”“But I need some time to recover my breathing,” Kuro complained, but then Shindo used his thumb fingers to massage the shirtless Kuro.

A few minutes earlier.Minerva was sitting on the wooden bench and was doing her best to not fall asleep.“Don’t you dare close your eyes, Minerva,” she pinched her own thigh. “Don’t embarrass yourself even more. Don’t forget how Green Fang treated you. Until you make her cry and beg for mercy, you shouldn’t sleep at all!”Minerva told herself to be patient.“Just wait until the sun rises. I’m sure the council would send someone over to not just take me back but also teach Green Fang a harsh lesson!”Just then, Alex brought her biscuits and coffee.“What?” Minerva shot a cold glance at him.“You’re fighting sleep, so I thought this would help,” Alex put the plate down on the bench and was leaving.“Wait,” Minerva quickly said. She then took out her golden bangles and tossed them on the ground.Alex looked confused.“You thought I would eat for free?” Minerva snorted. “Take those bangles. They are worth a few thousand dollars.”Alex picked up the bangles and smiled. “Thank you. I’d app

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’
CHAPTER 273
Diane was never into online games. She was only focused on fishing men in reality and appearing cool and rich in front of her female friends.However, her whole concept of reality was questioned when she saw the advanced holographic technologies.There were teenagers, who were fighting holographic tigers and cheetahs with their own holographic clones that looked so real.There were some old people using this tech to fight like they were in their prime age.“When did technology advance this far?” Diane’s heart was in her mouth out of pure awe. “Was I living under a rock all this while?”There were television projections displaying the virtual game Dream Creed, and the stats of various players and some of their earnings were also being displayed.“Wow, one of them earned nearly a million dollars just in the past 48 hours?” Diane felt speechless. “I’ve heard this game many times, and some of my friends do play the game, but they didn’t earn much money, so I thought this game wasn’t a big

Two men were sitting in a Honda Accord car which was parked on the road opposite to the headquarters of the Supreme Bank.Both of them were sharing the same cigar as it was the last one in the box.One was Big Dog, and the other was Little Dog.“It’s been forty minutes,” Little Dog sounded annoyed. “Why is she taking so long?”“Go inside and check,” Big Dog said, taking the cigar.“You go,” Little Dog took the cigar back.They both stared at each other, and in the end, neither of them moved from their seats.They were step siblings and were members of the Red Roses group, currently assigned to look after Diane.“I wasn’t told the whole story,” Big Dog said, “but it seems this woman Diane was our Boss’ fiancee, but she cheated on him.”“Why does our Boss have such bad luck with women?” Little Dog blurted with impatience. “If I were in his shoes, I’d happily marry Green Fang and have a dozen kids with her.”“Pfft,” Big Dog chortled.Just then, Diane walked out of the bank and called for
CHAPTER 271
Diane, while on her way to the top floor on the elevator, checked about Charlotte online in her mobile.“Charlotte Heller… she married Liam Lynn and then divorced him only a few years back,” Diane was not surprised. “Kyra Lynn is their daughter. Damn all three of them look handsome as heck, especially their daughter Kyra… she has it all.”Diane couldn’t help but feel great envy toward the daughter.“So, Charlotte Heller was a billionaire before she even married Liam Lynn? So, she didn’t divorce him for his money then? Some other reason must be there. Anyway, I need to keep these things in mind when I talk to her. I must get the money in cash, no matter what.”Soon, Diane reached the top floor.The infrastructure there was insane. It didn’t look like a bank but more like a luxury hotel, and at the same time, it sounded like a library.There were no customers that she could see.Diane felt nervous, so she asked a staff member the directions for the bathroom.When she entered the bathroo

Diane arrived at the Supreme Bank’s headquarters as it wasn’t too far from her house.It was an international bank, so the building was pretty big and polished everywhere.It took about thirty minutes of brisk walking for Diane to get here.Normally, Diane wouldn’t have walked this much distance, but her mind wasn’t settled right now.Her thoughts were also flying everywhere as she had no idea what her future held, or if she even had a future or not.All she could hope right now was for her treatment to go well so that she could enjoy the rest of her life.“I never thought the money I received after Dad’s death would come to aid like this,” Diane thought as she entered the bank.She stopped by the receptionist’s desk. “I want to withdraw all the money in my account.”“All of it?” The receptionist called a mobile number and then told Diane, “the manager is calling for you.”She guided Diane to the manager’s room.The manager didn’t even tell Diane to sit. “Give me your card,” he said.
