The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 237
Catherine did not see Philip coming.Denver was also taken by surprise, so all he saw was a streak of sapphire light.In the blink of an eye, Philip’s aura-covered fist was zooming into Denver’s face.Denver moved back instinctively, but Philip’s fist still struck his cheek anyway.A powerful shockwave pushed Catherine back, and she had to put pressure on herself to make herself weigh more so that she would be able to stay on her feet.Philip didn’t stop and continued to rain punches aimed at ribs and also abdomen and liver.His fists weren’t just mere concentrated points of energy. There was no brute force involved in his attacks, which looked like a masterful art in flow. There were no wasted movements.With every attack he received, Denver felt every drop of blood in his body vibrating and wanting to burst.As a result, Denver felt as if all his organs were about to rupture and break.Denver’s aura still managed to keep his body together, and his hands began to block the punches of

Sedrick was standing on the border wall. He saw a black owl flying in the sky.“Mm…” Sedrick squinted his eyes. “A black one again? I’m getting bored here.”Just then, Philip arrived there ever so silently. “Bored of what?”“Give me the permission to destroy this wall, Young Lord,” Sedrick asked him, not at all looking surprised as he sensed Philip’s arrival.“What’s the point of breaking this wall when Green Fang can easily build it again with her ability, Master Sedrick?” Philip said.“Uh, you are right,” Sedrick let go of his staff, and it was automatically fixed to his back because of the pull from his aura. “Then, are we really leaving this place be? I think we are giving up on a golden opportunity. If we force Denver and take him to the king, we’ll get a lot of credit for quelling an uprising.”“The problem is that he’s not instigating war or violence,” Philip replied.“But he’s taken this land for himself. It’s nothing short of revolt,” Sedrick said, oozing out his intentions t

Denver walked out of the whispering stone caves, with Catherine and Sheryl behind him.The hole in Catherine’s stomach closed pretty much, but it still left a scar, so she looked worried. “How can I get rid of this scar?”“That’s given by Philip,” Sheryl said, “so you’ll need to put some powerful herb on that spot before the scar takes root into the flesh. Or…”“Or? Is there another way?”“If your aura is better than Philip, then you can remove that scar,” Sheryl stated.“Then, Denver can remove it, can’t he?” Catherine quickly said.“Denver might find it difficult to remove that scar,” Sheryl opined.“Huh, you don’t believe in him?”“I do, but he’s not perfect,” Sheryl said. “He mastered only six of the eight Hawker Arts, whereas Philip mastered all eight. Everybody has their flaws. Nobody should even think they’re perfect and capable of doing everything.”“But my sister thinks she’s perfect,” Catherine replied.“Your sister?” Sheryl wasn’t too surprised. “The woman who took the hous

How can a dead person move?How can a dead person growl?Denver had seen the movies where dead people moved, and they were called zombies. In fact, zombies were probably Diane’s favorite fantasy creatures as she often dressed up as a zombie on Halloween most of the time.But, seeing one on TV and in real life was a whole different thing.Denver, for a few seconds, was not able to process what he was witnessing.His feet did not move. His arms shivered somewhat. His heart also shook quite a bit.And his brain could not process the signals his eyes kept sending.The ‘running’ dead, faceless person jumped at Denver, as if trying to chew off Denver’s face and then probably eat his brains.Suddenly, a tree branch flew in like a spear and caught the undead monster around the waist and took it away.“What were you thinking, Boss?” Sheryl arrived up to him quickly.“Yeah, why were you just standing and daydreaming?” Catherine scolded him first and then looked at the seemingly undead monster.

The next morning.Denver arrived at the Rose Tower, which Sheryl had to rebuild because it suffered damage due to her skirmish with Novick.Catherine sat in the seat Sheryl had prepared for Denver, so it upset Sheryl. “I didn’t make that throne for you.”“It’s a throne? But it is full of flowers,” Catherine smiled. “I like it. This is probably the only good thing you did in a while. But don’t worry. I’ll sit here and make this chair complete.”“You…” Sheryl was gritting her teeth, but Denver was okay with sitting on top of the desk.“How are the remaining people doing inside these walls?” Denver asked.“They are all terrified, not knowing when they are going to die,” Sheryl said.“They are afraid even with the walls protecting them?”“It’s not about the walls. They saw the street commanders get mind controlled last night,” Sheryl said. “Whether the council is behind it or not, it’s not something just anyone can do. If they can manipulate commander-level people, then it’s also possible
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 242
A few minutes before dawn.“Show yourself, Denver! And bring Minerva out!” an old woman’s voice penetrated through people’s eardrums, forcing them to shut their ears.The people in Rose Park looked up at the sky.There was a big hawk flying above, flapping its wings but keeping its head absolutely still.A giant hologram of Natalie was standing on top of the hawk.“The Pharma Squad is on its way here,” Natalia added. “You better bring Minerva out before it’s too late for you.”On the top floor of Rose Tower.Catherine looked at Sheryl. “What’s a Pharma Squad? Do they deal with medicine?”“And poison,” Sheryl said. “They are bad news. They can spray gas and make it linger in this place, which will make this area uninhabitable.”“I can use my ability to send that gas away before it fills this region,” Catherine said.“Can you do that for this entire Rose Park?” Sheryl asked quickly.Catherine slowly shook her head. “No, I don’t think I can pull it off on such a scale just yet.”“How abo

“Break the wall,” Weber ordered.“But, Captain, there’s a gate over there,” one of the members pointed out.“Fools, we’re not entering this place as guests,” Weber shouted. “I’m going in first, so follow after me.” He clenched his fist and leaped forth. “Monster Smash!”The thick wooden wall got ripped in the middle, and the top half flew into the sky in that locality, opening up a path for others to enter.Seeing Weber’s overwhelming power, the people cried and spread out in different directions.“Even ants are more courageous than these idiots,” Weber cracked his knuckles. “Isn’t there a single brave soul in this place? Did they all die fighting the demented beasts yesterday?”Just then, a ten-year-old boy stood in Weber’s path, holding a mere tree branch.“Ho, are you planning on fighting me with that puny little thing, brat?” Weber amusedly said.“I’m going to avenge my friends!” he rushed forth with no fear or anxiousness in his eyes.“Fine. I’ll send you to your friends you seem
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 01
Carrying four cement bags that totaled a backbreaking 440 pounds, Denver looked like it was no big deal.With steady steps, he climbed the ladder to the second floor of the building in the construction.Today’s grind was simple but grueling.Hauling all the cement and sandbags upstairs.His reward? A measly 30 bucks.It wasn’t much, but he had no choice.He was working for the future of his family.Denver carefully placed the bags in a dry corner, wiping a bit of sweat from his brow. Just as he straightened up, a distinct click-clack caught his ear.The rhythm of high heels on concrete.A woman in a sleek purple dress with three-quarter sleeves.Her dark hair flowing like silk, and a face as radiant as the morning sun.She looked and swayed like a model, and was so out of place in this dirty site!Every other worker dropped their jaws as they saw her.What was a woman like her—dressed to kill in a stunning outfit—doing at a dusty construction site?From the distance, her wide, sparkli

“Why are you here?” Novick frowned after seeing Philip and stood on guard.“Relax, Sir Novick. We’re not going to sandwich you here,” Philip smiled.Novick, however, didn’t lower his guard. “I can’t take your words for granted.” He moved back and made some room so that he wasn’t stuck between those two.“I think twice before shedding my enemies’ blood, so why would I attack a royal knight without good reason?” Philip said. “But if you are anxious, you can leave. I would like to talk privately with my brother here.”His words changed the expressions on the faces of Denver and Catherine.“I have already finished my mission,” Novick walked back without showing his back to them. “So, I’ll take my leave.” His voice faded away.Catherine was surprised that Novick was able to leave without many sounds with his footsteps, almost in the same way Philip arrived here.“This guy’s a monster, too…” she muttered under her breath and stood on alert.Denver was staring at Philip with a mixed emotion.
CHAPTER 235
Denver had no idea who Novick was.There was a chance that he was his sibling, or an underling of his sibling. He didn’t think Novick was part of Penal Hall as their uniform was different.Either way, it didn’t matter to him who Novick was.After nearly losing Catherine due to someone who’s supposed to be Denver’s elder sister, Denver had completely lost faith in the Hawkers.And he realized that everything Sheryl said was true.He shouldn’t trust anybody, even if they shared his blood.Naturally, Denver did not feel like respecting Novick even though Novick had come all this way to talk to him.Novick controlled his anger, despite Catherine and Denver provoking him. “What are you planning, Denver Nighthawk? Why did you build a wall around the Nameless Zone?”“Why should I answer you when you are not answering our question?” Denver asked back.“I’m Novick Norman,” he replied. “The fourth royal knight under His Majesty Casil.”Denver was surprised to hear that.“Royal knight?” Catherin
