The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 225
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 explosion destroyed the tunnel walls and collapsed the ceiling in that locality.Denver just stood there in a bit of shock because Catherine was completely unhurt because she was able to move the very explosion away from her.Denver smiled with relief as he rushed over. “How did you do that?” he didn’t know she could do such a thing. “You tossed the explosion away as if it was a pillow or a stone.”“I did it reflexively,” Catherine also looked surprised with what she had done. “But did that lizard really try to kill me?”“Yeah. I think it was being controlled by somebody,” Denver frowned as he looked at the bluish black flames of the explosion that were melting the rocks. “Strange… This explosion looks abnormal. The smell is also not normal.”He approached the explosion, despite Catherine telling him not to do it.Denver covered himself with a lightning cloak and stopped by the fire inside the ongoing flames.He was a glowing crystal-like object on the ground.He picked it up, eve
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 231
On the surface.Sheryl unleashed thousands of branches at her opponent who was still high in the sky, sitting on the aural chariot.The royal knight shot an aural arrow which cloned itself into thousands more and destroyed all the branches alike and rained down upon the land, destroyed the wooden houses and land alike, leaving no traces behind.The ground shook for miles all around as if an earthquake was upon it.Sheryl frowned as only the tower she stood on was still standing because of her. All the buildings around her were turned to mere rubble.“As expected, he’s a monster,” Sheryl smirked. “But I’m not going to be easy for you to defeat. I may not have my Nightlaser with me, but I have a stronger ability now. With every fight, I’m only going to get stronger.”“I get that you’re excited about fighting me,” the royal knight’s voice echoed all around. “I love hunting, too, but my purpose of visiting now is to talk to Denver Nighthawk.”“Why?” Sheryl asked. “What do you want from hi
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 232
“He’s on a honeymoon,” Sheryl cheekily said. “So you should leave and come back some other time, Mr. Advanced Robot.”The royal knight very much knew that she was trying to provoke him, and he was up for it.“I don’t go back with my mission unfinished,” the aural sword in his hand vanished into thin air and a giant whitish sword appeared in midair behind him. “I go back when I’m done with what I set out for.”Sheryl frowned. “Is that the mind sword?”The energy it gave off was different compared to just an aural attack.“You can attack with it without affecting the wind or other natural elements, or so I heard,” Sheryl was feeling goosebumps. “All that must have been fabrication, right?”“Have a taste of it yourself,” he said.The whitish sword darted at Sheryl at a speed that didn’t even let her blink once.There was no noise made by this sword, not a whoosh of the wind or a swish of her dress.It came ever so silently with increasing velocity as if it locked onto the target.Sheryl

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
CHAPTER 294
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
