The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 226
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

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

“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

“You’re called the peacemaker and many things,” Sheryl responded, trying to dodge the question as she wanted to avoid fighting Philip as it wouldn’t benefit her or Denver at all. “Don’t you know that the Yakuza have come to the shore? Killer King himself has come with one of the mainline young masters, so I think you should be looking into that instead.”“I have information that the penal hall has already deployed forces to handle the Yakuza,” Philip replied, crunching on the apple along with its seeds. “So, why don’t you answer my question first? Nameless Zone or Rose Park? Which one is it?”Sheryl frowned a little.As far as information was concerned, Philip was unmatched. He had access to almost everything in the world. He knew things that even the organizations like the CIA or Mossad didn’t have access to.Trying to trick such a guy would be highly impossible, Sheryl thought.“You already know the answer,” Sheryl said. “So why are you still asking?”“My master has to hear it from

“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

At the top of Mount First.In a modest mansion, Mickey was soaking dry fruits in water while Lark was getting treated in the background using an advanced healing machine.Kuro was quite surprised to see how the liquid in the machine was closing up Lark’s wounds at a visible pace. “What technology is this? It looks like nanotech, but nanotech hasn’t advanced so far, has it?”“It’s not just simple tech,” Mickey was staring at the bowl in which he had poured the dry fruits, and they were already swelling as if they had been soaking overnight.Kuro’s eyes widened very much for the third time after meeting Mickey. “Did you use your aura to speed up the soaking?”“It’s a lot more complicated than that,” Mickey drank the water and then chewed all the fruits.“Whoa, shouldn’t you throw the water away?” Kuro quickly asked.“Most of the nutrients get leaked into the water,” Black Dragon replied. “It’s better to drink water and throw away the soaked nuts than to eat soaked nuts and throw away th
CHAPTER 254
Tyron was drinking with his right-hand woman, Layla, the chubby assassin who spoke with Denver in the whispering caves the other night.She fed him grapes in between sips while both of them sat on top of a heap of corpses of those they killed.“I never explored those damn caves because of the reptilian freaks,” Tyron said. “They can easily see through our stealth. And they have technologies that boggle our minds. How is that punk Denver staying inside as if it’s nothing? Isn’t he afraid of getting caught by them?”“I didn’t come across any of those lizard-faces, Boss, but the talk with Denver failed as you predicted,” Layla said.“Haha,” Tyron laughed a little. “I was secretly hoping that he might accept an alliance. It would have made it possible for us to backstab him at a crucial time, but this is fine, too. We will wait for the right time and then strike.”Layla tore a drug packet and poured the powder on her cleavage.Tyron buried his face in her boobs and sniffed on the drug whi

Black Dragon tossed Lark in a coffin and carried him on a horse.Kuro, dressed up in a way to not look suspicious, followed Black Dragon on another horse.Together, they went to Mount First, a small mountain which was automatically given to the First Ranker of Hawkers.Before even stepping foot on the mountain, Kuro could sense the fragrance of the many herbs ahead.“This place is full of rare herbs,” Kuro openly said. “Just selling these would earn one millions, no, billions.”“They are not for sale,” Black Dragon told him. “They are only accessible to those who work for the Crown Prince.”“Ah, that makes sense,” Kuro smiled. “Mm?”He noticed a man raking and planting seeds.Black Dragon headed toward him, got down from the horse and greeted him. “Young Lord Mickey.”Kuro was startled. (This guy’s the Crown Prince?) His heart beat unsteadily as his eyes locked with Mickey. (How does he look like a cop and a criminal at the same time?)“I heard you stopped a missile coming from the we
