The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 257
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

“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

“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

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

“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

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 yo

“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

“The three minutes have already passed,” Catherine shouted at Black Dragon even though he ignored her words.That didn’t stop her.“No matter how powerful you are or how high of a rank you hold in Hawkers,” Catherine blurted, “you are only as good as your integrity. It seems like First Son Mickey and the guardian Black Dragon don’t have any integrity whatsoever.”By doing so, she caught Black Dragon’s attention.“Your rantings may sound good in audiobooks,” Black Dragon said, “but reality is far from different.”“So you’re admitting that you have no integrity then,” Catherine barked.“I never said that.”“But that’s what you meant. You are clearly not fit for the guardian post.”Black Dragon frowned. “You shouldn’t have said that.” He turned to face her. “Take those words back.”“Or what?” Catherine snorted. “You think I’m afraid of you? If you’re a real man, you would have stopped the fight after three minutes, but you are not, which is why you didn’t stick to your word.”“I’m sorry,

Diane started rubbing her palms together.“Let me bring you a chilled drink,” the manager told her and was walking toward his tent.Just then, the main building’s ceiling collapsed. All the metal and cement crashed pretty fast, giving little to no time for anybody to react.The people who were on the top fell right into the broken iron beams, which pierced their bodies.Some died on the spot, whereas some suffered bad injuries and were not in a position to move.“Oh, no!” Diane covered her mouth with both hands and moved back as a cloud of dust filled the entire property.The manager stood in frozen shock as something completely unexpected had happened.The noise was also loud enough for Little Dog and Big Dog to hear.And they also saw the building collapse.They rushed out and made sure to check on Diane from a distance. Only after seeing that she was safe, they felt relieved.“A building collapsed like that, and she’s standing there instead of running away,” Little Dog opined. “She

“Wait a second,” the guard blocked Diane’s path with his left arm. “You can’t leave without showing the bill receipt, ma’am.”Even though he said ‘ma’am,’ Diane didn’t like the look in this guy’s eyes.He was one of those men who were foolishly proud of doing their job correctly.Seduction might not work on these types of men, and Diane wasn’t the type to seduce someone who looked much older than her, either.Besides, she was never the type to receive insults, and she was also not in a good mood right now.All of this added up and made Diane touch the guard’s hand.The guard pulled his hand away. “If you don’t have the receipt, then you can’t leave,” he stressed his words.But then, he felt a stinging sensation in his chest.It made him feel weak.As he touched his chest, his sight also turned blurry.“This is what happens when you mess with people who are way out of your league,” Diane coldly said and walked away.The guard couldn’t even hear her words clearly because his sense of he

Diane was eating black grapes while lying down on the patient bed.The air conditioner was turned on, and a nurse was showing her the latest local news on a mobile website.“Why have they still not published the news?” Diane frowned. “Is the Myers family keeping the accident completely hidden? They have the power to do it. Tsk, at this rate, I’ll have to pay him a visit to find out his current situation, whether he's alive or not.”Diane glanced at the nurse. “Bring me pistachio milk. I like it cold.”“Y-Yes, ma’am,” the nurse didn’t mind doing chores for Diane because the head nurse had ordered all the nurses to take great care of Diane and the brothers.After the nurse left, Diane started talking with the system.“They are doing all the tests for me even though I look fine,” Diane snickered. “The doctors really love money, but I’m not going to pay them anything. If the men who admitted me here pay for me, it’s fine, but if they leave it to me, I won’t pay a dime. Also if it shows in

In Creed Zone.The old cobbler who had sent the sandpaper system after Diane was closing up his shop.“I wonder how things are happening with that system. Whether it transforms the girl into a sweet angel or a disastrous demon remains to be seen.”Miles away from Creed Zone.On one of the interstate highways.“What the hell happened in the time we lost sight of the car?”Little Dog, who was in the driving seat, got out of his car before it completely stopped.He whipped his leg, and the wind generated from his kick stopped the flames.“A third of the car on the front side is destroyed,” Little Dog tried to rip out the front door. “Damn, it’s not coming. It melted into the rest of the car.”Big Dog also joined and forcefully tore apart the back door.They were expecting severe casualties, but Diane stepped out with minor wounds and coughing.“P-Please save him,” she hurriedly said and collapsed to the side.However, to her surprise and confusion, the brothers grabbed her and rushed to

Diane used the check Charlotte had given her and credited a million dollars into her own account, which she later transferred to the Den Bank.She was a bit worried about whether the transfer would happen or not, but after the money successfully transferred, she felt so relieved, confident and arrogant at the same time.She mocked Charlotte in her heart, calling her foolish for giving away a million dollars and even allowing her to transfer it to the Den bank.“Don’t underestimate Charlotte Heller,” the sandpaper system warned her. “That woman didn’t seem to have any superpowers, but she definitely gives off an abnormal aura. She’s not simple, so don’t underestimate her and let your guard down.”“Hmph, of course I know that she’s not simple,” Diane snorted. “She’s the owner of one of the biggest banks in the world. I’m sure she has crazy influence around the world, but with you by my side, I’m also sure that I can fight back against such bigwigs. Don’t you agree?”“I do agree,” the sy

After the board meeting ended, Diane was leaving with a dejected look.“You,” Jessica told her. “Come to our office.”Russell and Jessica together exited the room.“Why did she call me?” Diane wondered a bit anxiously. “Wait, if it’s going to give me a chance to talk to Russell, then I’ll take it.”Diane quickly went to Russell’s office.Jessica was sitting on the edge of the desk and was feeding berries to Russell. “Show us the recordings.”“Are you really asking for those recordings after the meeting finished?” Diane sounded impatient.She somewhat envied what Russell and Jessica were doing. It even upset her.“Yeah. Depending on whether you did what I said or not, you will either keep or lose your job,” Jessica warned.Diane then showed all the recordings that were on her mobile.Jessica looked at Russell. “What do you think?”“You asked for ten. She brought twelve. So, what’s there to think?” Russell spoke calmly.He looked calm but also a little tough and difficult to understand.
CHAPTER 277
A few minutes later.Diane arrived at the Creed Tech company, only to see Marlon there on the ground floor.“What the hell are you doing here?” she openly showed venomosity toward him. “The likes of you don’t deserve to step foot in here.”“I could say the same,” Marlon snorted as both of them entered the elevator. “You looked hot as hell, but down there, you were unbearably hot. It felt like I was going to lose my chad.”“You mean you were going to lose your shrimp.”“Hmph, you’re going to regret it if you keep talking to me like that,” Marlon warned. “I’m not the type who’d go easy on women just because they’re women.”Diane took out her identity card.“Finance director? Who? You?” Marlon slightly frowned.“Surprised?” Diane snorted. “I’m not just any finance director. I’m representing Charlotte Heller today, and I’m going to sit alongside the board of directors.”“Oh, then I should go early so that I won’t be forced to sit next to you.”“Haha, you wouldn’t have to worry about it as
CHAPTER 276
Diane got twelve recordings in total.And she was on her way back to the Creed Tech company.Diane’s skin looked much smoother, and she was shining like a barbie doll because her system had done it for her.So, her confidence has multiplied manyfold.Receiving so many gazes from both men and women was very satisfying to her.“Mm?” Diane noticed that a new store was being opened. It seemed like a jewelry store, but the items were all the ones that were found in the Dream Creed game.So, there was a huge crowd in front of the store.The one cutting the ribbon at the front was none other than Marlon Myers, the son of the Myers family.They were billionaires and were famous for their clothing brand.The moment Diane saw Marlon, her heart fluttered once.He was a handsome man who seemed to be around thirty years of age. He was tall and looked like he was the son of a mafia don or something.Diane slipped her way through the big crowd without any problem whatsoever.Her system had made it p

Diane heard a voice ringing in her mind, “Congratulations, cunt! You’ve been chosen by the Sandpaper System!”She stopped and looked around.It didn’t seem like anybody called her.“Was it just my imagination?”She kept walking.“You sure are a nasty person, aren’t you?” the voice rang in her mind again. It sounded eerily familiar to her father’s voice.Diane stopped in her tracks and looked around.Again, there was nobody around her, so whose voice was she hearing?“You cried when your dad died, but on that same night, you secretly celebrated his death,” the voice rang out in her mind once more. “To think you would celebrate your own father’s death… I have rarely come across someone as diabolical as you are.”Diane’s heart started racing.She did buy some alcohol and drank to her heart’s content that very night Richard died.When Denver asked her why she drank, she cried and said that she drank out of sadness and due to the pain of losing her father.Denver easily bought her words.D
