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!
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 246
Denver was on the top floor, observing the battles of Sheryl and Catherine.He was happy and proud that they both handled their fights well and managed to stand on top.Denver looked up through the window and saw Natalia’s holographic image.Natalia was fuming at Weber and his squad for miserably failing even after using various poisons.A man silently entered the room Denver was in.He closed in on his toes and attacked Denver with a knife. He tried to strike the neck, but Denver caught the knife without even looking. Turning around, Denver returned a cold gaze to him. “Who are you?”“I’m a local of Nameless Zone,” he cried. “You probably don’t remember me, but you’re the one who raped my girlfriend and killed her.”“What?” Denver frowned. “Are you speaking the truth? I don’t remember any of it.”“So just because you don’t remember doing it, you are not responsible for all the evil you’ve done in the past?” he growled, then took out a bomb and flipped the pin.KA BOOM~! BA DA BOOM~~
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 247
Sheryl put Weber and Betsy at Denver’s feet.Seeing Betsy’s terrible situation, with her facial bones destroyed and all, Denver looked at Catherine, “You’ve gone a little overboard.”“I-I didn’t think my punch would cause so much damage,” Catherine couldn’t hide her guilt. “I will be more careful next time.”“You should, but more importantly, you should ensure that you don’t get hurt, so don’t go easy on opponents you think are strong,” Denver told her.Catherine nodded in a bit of relief. She wasn’t happy, though. “We can help get her old face back, can’t we? Using some miracle herb or any other way.”“Why should we do that?” Sheryl snorted. “They came here with the intent to kill us, so there’s no need to help her with anything. Besides, her original face is ugly. I’m sure she prefers this new look.”Sheryl was purposely roasting Betsy because Betsy was awake, unlike Weber who was still unconscious.Still, Betsy was not in a position to speak as her jaw was broken. So, all she could

“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
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
