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

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

At the High Tower.On a certain floor, there were people who were putting electric plugs into the ports built in their bodies, which helped them directly charge and also transfer data.On another floor, there were some who were playing games with holograms that felt real, thanks to the advanced tech of augmented reality belonging to the Feclay company.But almost every floor had highly robotic machinery which provided extreme comfort to everybody staying inside the tower. From supplying drugs and alcohol to even stripping the clothes of the strippers or being a dealer of cards and what not, all kinds of services were provided by the machines or the augmen.Augmen were the augmented humans whose strength and ability had been enhanced on different levels compared to normal humans.However, hiring augmen was costly, so only the millionaires could afford this.The customers of High Tower had no idea where they were as they would be brought here in an unconscious state, and they would be t

At the Mother Council building.More than 200 members gathered at around 3 o’clock just to talk about Minerva’s situation.None of them knew that Minerva was no longer in Rose Park but got kidnapped by Borg instead.So, all the women couldn’t sit still in their seats as they were fuming at Denver and Green Fang.“How dare that nobody who calls himself Don Denver dare imprison one of ours in the Nameless Zone which they are calling theirs now?” one woman barked.“Yeah, they’re calling it Rose Park. It has high wooden walls blocking all routes by land,” another woman said. “We must break them as soon as possible, President.”“Oh, I intend to do that,” Natalia assured them. “But from the latest update we got, there seems to be a big commotion going inside Rose Park. Our people who went there were not able to get past the wall as the vines were denying their entrance. So, we don’t know what exactly is happening inside that park now.”“Can we just send some drones to fly over that zone?” on

Many miles deep inside the Whispering Stone Caves.Catherine was lying on the bloody, greasy ground, covered in injuries everywhere, not lethal but burdensome nonetheless.There were dead bodies of monsters down the tunnel, all of which were defeated by Catherine.She was taking quick, deep breaths.“I don’t think I can go on like this anymore,” she felt as if she was high on fever. “I feel weak. I can’t even make a fist properly. I think I overexerted myself.”“It’s not just that,” Denver sat down and helped her sit up. He gently massaged her shoulders from behind, which made her slowly feel better. “Using aura in general will increase the temperature of our body. But when our body’s temperature rises past a certain level, then our red blood cells will start dying.”Catherine was startled. “I-Is that why we feel weak when we have fever?”“Mm,” Denver nodded.“Then isn’t it bad to use aura if it kills red blood cells?” Catherine couldn’t help but ask.“No, as the red blood cells are d
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 229
Catherine was returning to where Denver was.It was pretty dark all around, but her eyes were able to decently see the surroundings. “Making one’s eyes more receptive to light makes it possible to see even in a tunnel like this. This must be how cats feel in the dark.”She felt both thrilled and excited.“It would be nice if Mom and Sis can experience this for themselves,” she thought, but then her smile subsided. “No, that’s not possible anymore. I have to forget about them.”They hadn’t done much for her in the last few years, so Catherine didn’t think it would be hard for her to forget her mother and sister.Catherine stopped at a four-way junction and looked to her right.A long-legged lizard was watching her from a distance while sticking to the rooftop of that tunnel.It had multiple arrows stuck to its back.Catherine clenched her fists. She wanted to fight, but she remembered Denver’s words: You are strong, but avoid fighting when you can, and that will make you stronger.“He

“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
CHAPTER 262
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 y

“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

“Go on. Take him away,” Mickey said, waving his hand. “Even injured pet dogs take time to trust humans again. You are left hurt and heartbroken by your boss, so I know that it will take time for you to trust me. I will not force you, but I will wait for you to come to me.”Sheryl wasn’t sure why he was spouting the good-guy nonsense in this situation.Was he really expecting her to believe his words?Either way, she picked up Lark whom Nox had dropped on the ground.As she took a couple of steps, Mickey said, “Tell Denver that I won’t have to do anything about Rose Park. The other rankers are not going to let it thrive. I’m not going to bother myself with him unless he overcomes the weaker ones. Only when I think he’s worthy of time, I’ll directly confront him. Until then… tell him to be careful.”A madman’s feat was never certain till he gave it, Sheryl thought. Mickey was a madman in his own right.Sheryl briefly stopped and turned back. “I know you will not like what I’m about to

“What brought you here, Madam Green Fang?” Mickey sarcastically asked.“I was selling flowers, and I thought this mountain might have some potential flower lovers,” Sheryl responded. “But all your faces scream fire that burns the flowers and everything to ashes.”“Ah, and here I thought you might have finally opened your eyes and given up on Denver,” Mickey said, “and you came to be under my wing.”“It’s common sense to only stay under the wing of someone who actually wants to protect you,” Sheryl retorted.“It’s harsh of you to say that,” Mickey maintained a calm but somewhat serious expression. “You can ask any of my workers, and they’ll tell you how wonderfully I take care of them.”“Oh, save your lies, Mickey,” Sheryl harrumphed. “You think I don’t know how you casually kill people who work for you. You treat their lives as if they’re worth nothing!”“I only am cruel to those who commit mistakes,” Mickey replied.“Even a king wouldn’t be so arrogant,” Sheryl blurted, “and you’re n

Black Dragon was fast as lightning.Lark didn’t even see Black Dragon’s movement. Even Nox was a fraction of a second late to pull Lark back.But then Mickey caught Black Dragon’s wrist and stopped his hand before it reached Lark’s neck.On top of that, the wind generated by his arm movement was also nullified by Mickey.Nevertheless, Lark’s face was filled with sweat. “I knew you were short-tempered, Easter Garden, but you’re just a bomb ready to explode whenever it wants.”“Why did you stop me?” Black Dragon looked at Mickey. “What he said makes him a traitor. And he must be killed. His head must be hanged, and everyone shall know why he died.”“He was obviously joking,” Mickey said and looked at Lark. “Weren’t you?”“...Yeah, I was,” Lark replied without blinking.“That’s not something you joke about,” Black Dragon caught Lark’s little finger and ripped it off the left hand.Lark screamed for a second, but he quickly bore the pain and made no sound.“I would have taken the entire a
CHAPTER 256
Despite appearing beautiful and peaceful, Mount First has come to be known as the impenetrable mountain after Mickey became the first ranker.Many tried their luck, but all failed, which led to the rise of a famous saying, ‘Laughing, they come; weeping, they go.’Even though there were no people guarding the mountain, nobody managed to reach the top and see Mickey’s face.Nobody could enter Mount First without Mickey’s permission.He won’t be burnt with fire or wet with water, they say.The aura around him made him an invincible figure, and his image was not much lower than the king himself.However, thanks to Sheryl’s ability, Denver and Catherine were now on Mount First, though they were underground right now.Sheryl, on the other hand, was inside a tree trunk and was carefully moving thin roots up the slope, while also looking around.Normal people might not have doubted anything, but Sheryl used her aura and was able to see most of the traps laid out there.What’s more, there were
