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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    In the second son Philip’s home.Philip was playing poker with his friends. All the golden cards had the ‘owl’ symbol on their backs.“Why do these cards have owls on their backs when our group represents hawks?” One of the friends asked a question that had been bugging him for a while.Philip smiled, but they couldn’t tell if it was a happy smile or some other emotion contained behind his expression. “I was given these two packs of cards by my father many years ago. I had the same doubt as you did, but I never got the opportunity to ask him.”“Oh, maybe His Majesty bought them in some auction or something,” another guy opined.“Talking about the auction, did you know that your brother Denver has bought the Immortal Herb? For hundreds of billions of dollars!” one guy stated. “It must have been the real thing. But where does such a herb grow?”“The four floating islands in the center of the earth,” Philip replied casually, startling everyone. “That’s where you can find herbs that can ma

    Denver was practicing his Blood Arts using his personal manual which he had written in the past.Sheryl had kept it safe for him.There was a mosquito flying about in the room. It tried to land on Denver’s cheek, but the hot vapors didn’t let it touch Denver.As it flew away, its body suddenly blasted to bits.“The ability to affect the blood all around me. This is the art that needs more honing,” Denver thought. “With this ability, I can take on many enemies at a time. But…” He looked at his hand. “Will I be able to bear with all the blood that’s going to be spilled?”Blood Arts was actually part of the eight Hawker Arts, but thanks to Denver’s special blood lightning ability, he was able to take the Blood Arts to another level, making it even more deadly.“The reason I probably didn’t bother about mastering all the eight martial arts of Hawkers was because I focused more on Blood Arts,” Denver clenched his fists. “It can kill, but I wanted it to heal as well, making this not just a

    Sheryl, Denver, and Catherine returned to Rose Park.Catherine gave Lark to a local street commander to treat him using the herbs.Sheryl told Denver about the plans Mickey and Black Dragon were having, but she excluded the part about them wanting to go after Diane because Sheryl didn’t think of Diane as important.She didn’t want Denver to spare his time over Diane who had cheated on him.Sheryl had already allocated two of her gang members to Diane to keep her safe. She believed that was enough.Denver hissed a little and touched his knee as he sat down.“Is something wrong with your leg?” Catherine asked him.“My right knee hurts a little. That’s all,” Denver said, trying not to appear frustrated.“Let me check,” Catherine insisted.“It’s okay,” he politely refused.Catherine still pulled his pant leg which exposed his swollen knee. “Hurts a little, you say?” she squeezed his knee with her fingers, and he hissed. “Yeah. Thought so. There are times when you should act tough, and the

    The clouds discharged sparks of lightning not toward the ground but onto each other, thereby lighting up the entire sky in Hawk Park.It was daytime, but it looked brighter than day itself as golden white lightning made the clouds and the sky look both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.Almost everybody in Hawk Park felt it. Some ran out of their homes to see this rare phenomenon where not a single drop of rain fell but lightning bolts crisscrossed heaven..Novick, who was playing with a tiny chameleon in his room, looked out through the window. “The clash of kings…”At Golden Tower.Lily was watching the sky from the balcony. “This presence… It seems the one fighting Mickey inside the cube was Denver. He’s catching up to us fast. If he survives today, he will become a force to be reckoned with.”She made a phone call and said, “Serena, the cube is broken. Make sure you kill at least Green Fang or Denver’s girlfriend.”“I was thinking of sneaking in and killing Denver though,”

    “How are you able to conjure the power of white blood cells outside your body?” Mickey asked.The white lightning streaks around Denver’s fists thickened. “Maybe they just want to prevent my heart from getting sad.”“Is that so?” Mickey squinted his eyes. (His blood is reacting to his thoughts as if it has some level of sentience. It’s interesting, but it feels annoying, thinking about it.)“Why? Are you jealous that you can’t do it?” Denver asked with a serious expression. He was just trying to understand what kind of a person Mickey was, even though it wouldn’t change much.“Why would I be jealous?” Mickey released golden light around his whole body, and it was so strong that the black floor under his feet was fading away as if it couldn’t withstand its nature. “You will experience the loss of losing your lover and your beloved Green Fang as well. On top of that, you will lose this fight against me. But don’t worry. I won’t kill you. I will keep you alive just enough to keep hanging

    “The three minutes have already passed,” Catherine shouted at Black Dragon even though he ignored her words.That didn’t stop her.“No matter how powerful you are or how high of a rank you hold in Hawkers,” Catherine blurted, “you are only as good as your integrity. It seems like First Son Mickey and the guardian Black Dragon don’t have any integrity whatsoever.”By doing so, she caught Black Dragon’s attention.“Your rantings may sound good in audiobooks,” Black Dragon said, “but reality is far from different.”“So you’re admitting that you have no integrity then,” Catherine barked.“I never said that.”“But that’s what you meant. You are clearly not fit for the guardian post.”Black Dragon frowned. “You shouldn’t have said that.” He turned to face her. “Take those words back.”“Or what?” Catherine snorted. “You think I’m afraid of you? If you’re a real man, you would have stopped the fight after three minutes, but you are not, which is why you didn’t stick to your word.”“I’m sorry,

    “If I win, you’ll need to spend time in my bedroom tonight!”Kuro’s big idea was to disrupt Denver’s concentration and also win the two girls at that.“Bitter Wind Blasts!”However, both Sheryl and Catherine reacted simultaneously as if they were ready for his attack.Sheryl was able to easily deflect his attack, whereas Catherine had to exert some of her energy to just block the attack which had so much energy put into it.“So this guy can heat up the wind from his punching the air?” Catherine frowned as she felt her hands burning as if they were put on a frying pan.“Heh,” Kuro smirked. “I’ve been practicing aura from a young age. You think your aura can match mine? I’m many stages above you, stupid girl!”“Is that so?” Catherine used her ability, and Kuro suddenly felt pressure above him, which forced him to slow down.“W-What’s this?” Kuro was startled. “Why do I feel like my body has grown five times heavier?”“That’s because of this stupid girl,” Catherine went for a swift punch

    At Golden Tower.Serena rushed over to Lily’s room and said, “The devil’s cube has been cast on Mount First.”“Ho… what do they not want us to see?” Lily wondered.“Should I go and check?” Serena asked.“Don’t go by yourself. Send someone expendable,” Lily replied.“I’ll pick someone outside our kettle then,” Serena said and quickly left.Lily was drawing a paintbrush on the wall. The image looked like a forest with a single lily flower standing out more than the other flowers and beasts.“Only the guardians are given the devil’s cubes,” Lily thought. “Are Black Dragon and Mickey having serious duels? Why now of all times? No, it doesn’t make sense. They must be fighting someone else. But who would be stupid enough to intrude Mount First, a place that’s creepy to say the least. I wonder which fool dared to go there this time.”At the same time, elsewhere in Hawk Park.Philip and Sedrick were eating breakfast by the beach. Both of them could feel the presence of the devil’s cube.“Do yo

    “What the heck?” Catherine was dumbfounded as she looked around.Everything was black inside the cube-like space, but there was still just enough light somehow.“It feels like we’re in another dimension,” Catherine opined. “What is this?”“You’ve got it right,” Sheryl said. “Black Dragon used a treasure to create a subspace. We’re still in our dimension, but as long as these black walls aren’t broken, everything we do here will not affect the outside world.”“So, there’s no reason for the brothers to hold back, huh…” Catherine was growing nervous.Even though she was the one who suggested the duel, she was still nervous because Mickey had this invincible aura around him.“What does this First Son actually do?” Catherine asked curiously.“From what I know, he owns many big betting companies. He also buys items for a cheaper price and sells them for a higher price,” Sheryl said.“So, he’s like a stock market trader and a fraudster?” Catherine snorted. “That’s no big deal. What was Denve

    Mickey was heading back up the mountain, but then the moment his spiritual construct saw Denver, he stopped in his tracks.“What’s wrong, Lord?” Nox asked.Mickey’s blood started to stir, and all the plant life and rocks on Mount First began to tremble.Nox’s heart shook for a second as he was expecting it.Kuro, on the other hand, was over a hundred feet away, but the pressure made his knees lose strength. (What’s with this bloodlust? It’s on par with Shindo. No, maybe even more.)Black Dragon, however, continued drinking white rum rather casually as if he had an inkling of understanding about the ongoing situation.Even though Denver and others were underground, they could also feel the pressure.The earth above them got ripped off like a roof getting blown away against strong wind.“You two. Leave,” Denver told them.“How can we leave you behind?” Catherine grabbed his hand. “Let’s fight together.”“This is an order,” Denver commanded.“You think I’m your subordinate?” Catherine ba
