The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 238
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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 239
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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 240
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 Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 241
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 laser attack traveled in the blink of an eye and struck Catherine.But nothing happened.The fat woman slightly frowned and then shot a couple more times.Both the attacks struck Catherine in the chest.Again, there was no response.Catherine stood unaffected, with her hands in her pockets. “You were saying some shit, but this is all you were capable of?” She dismissed the fat woman’s ability.“H-How’s this possible?” The fat lady looked quite perplexed.“I may not look like it, but I used to read newspapers a lot, so I know a thing or two about science,” Catherine said. “Lasers just work by giving heat to the objects they strike, right? So, all I have to do is disperse that heat. Take the pressure off of the spot they’re targeting, and then the laser will not be able to do a thing to me.”The fat lady’s eyes widened. “D-Didn’t you just acquire this ability a couple of days back? How can you already use it so proficiently?”“Because my breasts are fit unlike yours,” Catherine answ
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 245
Weber reached the Rose Tower and straight away jumped to the rooftop in one big leap.However, he did not see Denver.Only Sheryl was waiting for him.“Where’s Denver Nighthawk?” Weber asked. “Did he flee because of my arrival?”“Don’t worry about him. I’m more than enough for you,” Sheryl replied while tossing bubble gum in her mouth.“You?” Weber laughed.“Are you afraid of me? Is that why you’re laughing?”“No, men are only intimidated by women’s incompetence,” Weber retorted. “I’m afraid that I might get dumber from fighting women, which is why I avoid fighting women if it’s possible.”“You work for the council, right?” Sheryl said.“Yeah, so?”“Who’s the head of the council?” Sheryl asked.Weber frowned.“Natalia is a woman, isn’t he?” Sheryl said. “Or does she have a ding-dong in her pants?”She purposely spoke out loud so that Natalia’s hologram could hear it.Natalia grew extremely mad from hearing Sheryl’s words. “Weber, what the hell are you doing letting her talk nonsense!

“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
CHAPTER 260
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
CHAPTER 258
“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
CHAPTER 255
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
CHAPTER 253
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
