The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 39
Denver came to the side to talk with Catherine privately. “What do you mean she’s pregnant?”“It means what I said,” Catherine replied fast. “And she’s claiming that you’re the dad.”Denver felt a chill crawling throughout his body. “Whoa, whoa, that’s crazy. Did she really say that?”“My mom even came to my flat, and she fumed over the issue,” Catherine said. “If you were here at that time, she would have hit you.”Denver’s heart started racing. “C-Catherine, you don’t believe Diane’s words, do you?”“I didn’t believe her, but after seeing these pictures, I’m feeling doubtful!” Catherine didn’t hesitate to speak these words. “Instead of taking me to the party, why did you go with some other lady? And you’re even holding hands. That makes no sense to me.”“I will explain everything to you once I get home,” Denver said.“Are you the father or not?” Catherine asked bluntly.“Of course, I’m not the father,” Denver quickly responded. “I didn’t even kiss her once, so how can I be the father
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 40
Denver wanted to ask Bianca about the governor, but he completely forgot about it after Catherine’s phone call.And the word ‘ka boom’ was also racing through his mind.He couldn’t go home to Catherine quickly because of this cryptic message.As he approached Bianca to tell her about this, she told him, “The chief guest isn’t here yet.”“The chief guest? Who?”“Governor Gerard,” Bianca smiled. Her real reason for coming here was to meet the governor.Denver had to change his plans after that. He waited for the governor to come.Sage’s grandson, Terry, on the other hand, did not care about other gifts anymore. He was busy driving the mini jeep that Diane had gifted to him.Terry drove the car everywhere, and nobody dared to complain about him, even though some people were scared for their own lives and for the kid’s life, too, as he was driving a bit recklessly.“How can Mr. Sage let his grandson drive that car?”“Yeah, he lost his son and daughter-in-law in an accident, so he should kn

Gerard and Sage ate food together at a table, and many guests came to greet them. But none of them took much of their time. They only gave the greetings and left within a few seconds.Diane didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so she grabbed Stephen’s arm. “Let’s go and greet the governor.”“Are you crazy? That’s the governor of the state,” Stephen said. “He’s not someone a gangster like me should approach. Even my dad won’t feel easy around someone like that.”“He may be a governor, but aren’t you richer than him?” Diane said. “Money is what matters the most in this world. So, I’m sure he’ll talk with us respectfully once he knows who you are.”Stephen’s ego swelled a little, thanks to her words. And he gained the confidence to go and talk to the governor.“If we want to make an impression that will last in his mind, we can’t just go empty-handed like others,” Diane said. “Do you have anything of value?”“Why don’t we just steal one of the gifts from others? That brat didn’t even ope

“Nighthawk?” Diane didn’t recognize that name. “What sort of family name is that? It sounds like a bird's name, doesn’t it? So stupid.”Gerard spared her a cold glance, making her shut her mouth.Diane looked at Stephen. “Why do you look like you stepped on poop?”However, Stephen was in his own world and did not hear what Diane was even saying. His mind was focused on something else right now. (Nighthawk? I feel like I heard that name before. Or is it just my imagination?)“Denver what?” Denver looked a bit confused himself. He felt like he heard the name before, and it surprised him for a second, but he didn’t remember anything in particular. “Do you know me?”“Mm?” Gerard’s expression changed.“You must have mistaken him for someone else, Governor,” Diane stepped in. “He’s just a construction worker with no background.”“Construction worker?” Gerard looked surprised now. (Is he on a mission now?) “Maybe, I really am mistaken.”Denver wanted to talk with the governor some more, but

Denver did not expect to be hugged by her, but his body definitely reacted wildly. He forcibly pushed her away, and she couldn’t do anything against him.Diane fell back on the floor and cried, “Aw!” she bore the pain and said, “How could you do this to the woman who loved you and is about to give birth to your child?”Denver took his mobile out. “I’m calling the cops,” even though he said that, he started recording with the mobile, but he didn’t make it obvious.“Huh, sure. Go ahead and call them. They will say it’s a family matter and will tell us to deal with it ourselves,” Diane shamelessly said.“We are not family. Not anymore,” Denver retorted and walked out of the hall.Diane followed him. “No matter what you say, you are the father of my child. That won’t change.”Denver stopped and raised his hand, wanting to slap her.Diane didn’t back away. “C’mon, hit me. Do this and become a villain to the public. It will make things easy for me when the police do come here.”“Tsk, I ne
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 44
The word ‘Bird Brain’ was clearly an insult directed toward him. Was it written by Diane or by Stephen?Either way, it didn’t matter.“You two keep doing these things, and I’ll end up putting my conscience aside one day,” Denver angrily got out of the car.Denver wanted to go home quickly, but he didn’t know how.Just then, a guy and his lover came to their car.“Hello, can I buy your car?” Denver asked.“Pfft,” the girl laughed. “Dude, did you drink too much? This is a Mercedes Coupe Light Sport worth over 70K. You think you can afford this car?” She was purposely rude because Denver wasn’t even wearing a suit.“70K.” Denver took his mobile out. “Tell me your mobile number. I’ll send the money to your account right now.”“Hahaha, now you’re taking too far, but it’s fine, I’ll play with you,” she gave her mobile number.“Is it fine for you if I send the money to her bank account?” Denver asked the guy because he was the owner of the car.“It’s fine. I trust her,” the boyfriend said.“I
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 45
Denver arrived at Catherine’s flat but stopped outside and slowed his heartbeat down.He wanted to bring a lot of food for her, but because of Diane bothering him, he didn’t pack as many items as he wanted.Nevertheless, he hoped that Catherine would eat this food. At least some of it.Denver knocked on the door twice.“The door isn’t locked,” Catherine’s voice came from the inside.Denver pushed the door open.Catherine was sitting on the couch, with an iron rod in her hand. Her eyes were clearly cooking with anger.Denver put the food package and the car keys on the table. “W-What’s that thing for?”“Depending on your reasoning for holding that woman’s hand… I’m going to decide whether I should use this iron rod or not,” Catherine said.Denver touched the back of his head, remembering the moment her sister hit him with a table lamp. He might have survived a hit from a table lamp, but he might die from getting hit by an iron rod. The sisters really seemed alike in this regard.Denver
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 46
After the party, Gerard didn’t leave but instead went to the Clarke mansion.Sage welcomed him with open arms because he wanted to share alcohol with his old friend. He couldn’t drink during the party as it was his grandson’s birthday party, and he felt that drinking wouldn’t be appropriate there even though he arranged wine for the guests.Both of them were drinking in the living room on the first floor, with a vintage song playing in the background.Gerard put the gift box Diane gave him next to him.“Are you not going to open it?” Sage asked. “Let me see what gift they gave you.”“Haha, I’m curious, too, but let’s talk about something else first,” Gerard said. “Do you know Denver?”“The big guy you met at the party?” Sage nodded. “Yeah, he worked in my company for three years.”“Three years?” Gerard was surprised. (Is he doing a big mission that takes him a really long time? Still, three years is a bit too much. No wonder I haven’t heard of him all this while.) He couldn’t help but

CHAPTER 297
A storm-like energy completely engulfed not just the 81st floor but the entire tower.Catherine, Denver, and Yellow Tiger were at the center of it.Catherine was not able to take another step as her body was not moving as she wanted. The energy was so oppressive her knees grew weak.Denver, however, was still able to stand despite feeling as if his brain and body were swirling.“Eye of the Storm…” Yellow Tiger said in a tone that oozed raw power that quaked the very air all around. “Only two people have managed to escape this technique so far. One is the northern guardian White Phoenix, and the other one is the current head of the royal knights. Did you two pipsqueaks think you can run away from me and tell tales of it to others and mock me?”The pressure put on Denver strained his brain so much that a bit of the past flashed in his mind.“Boss, Boss!” Sheryl rushed over to Denver who just finished his mission of killing a deserter of Hawkers.Denver was gravely wounded at the time. “

Catherine felt foolish for blowing a whistle which didn’t let out any sound. “Is it a one-time use object?”However, Yellow Tiger heard the inaudible noise that wasn’t heard by normal people. “This sound…” he fingered his ear. “That whistle must work like Spy Horn. Who did you call for help?”“My boyfriend,” Catherine replied. “If you don’t want your ass to be floored, then you better leave before he comes here.”“Who’s your boyfriend?”“My boyfriend is my boyfriend. Who else will be my boyfriend?”Yellow Tiger raised an eyebrow. “Does she have a screw loose or something? Or is she acting stupid on purpose?”He immediately turned into a flash and closed the distance.Catherine barely saw his blurry figure and reflexively threw a kick at him.All she hit was his afterimage.The next second, Yellow Tiger was standing right where his afterimage should be.He had all the time in the world to strike Catherine, but he sniffed her and said, “Is your boyfriend Denver? I smell him on you.”Ca

“That black mass is going to ruin your body from within,” Gray caught Catherine’s face with her bare hand and uttered, “Laser Bomb.”A hole opened up in her palm and blasted forth a powerful laser.The attack went right through Catherine’s mouth.Gray thought she had won, but the laser bomb shrunk in size and was compressed into a tiny ball.“What the…” Gray frowned.Catherine coughed the tiny ball out, which struck Gray’s face and destroyed half of it.But then Gray’s face began to regenerate, and Catherine couldn’t believe it. “Even the head can grow back? Just what the hell did you turn your bodies into? You can’t call yourself human anymore.”“Yeah, I’m not human. I’m Human N.0.”A few years back.Borg promoted Gray to being his direct assistant, and she was overjoyed by it.She was expecting many upgrades as well, and the first thing Borg did was inject her with some liquid which looked black.“What is this?” she asked out of curiosity. “It looks creepy.”Borg smiled. “But you’re
CHAPTER 294
On the 63rd floor.Catherine and Gray were fighting intensely, and Gray felt like her body had grown thirty times heavier.As a result, she was receiving more damage than she could inflict.“I have never seen anybody bend laser beams, and you even deflected explosions,” Gray said with much hatred oozing from her eyes. “What kind of monstrous ability do you have?”“If you’ve got any prayers, make them,” Catherine was looking to use her killer punch on her opponent, but she had to be careful before closing in as Gray could still use laser beams. “You’re not going to be leaving this battle alive.”“I’m not afraid of death. I don’t have any family or friends,” Gray said. “But the only person I work for in this world is Borg. For him, I will kill or die if needed. And today, I will kill you and all the other intruders.”“You can daydream all you want, but you ain't gonna be nothing more than my sandbag, girl!” Catherine clapped her hands as Gray closed in.The floor and the ceiling started

Yellow Tiger burst his way through the walls of the tower and entered the 56th floor.“Was it 56?”He stomped on the ground and destroyed the floor locally, thus falling into the 55th floor.“Mm?”He saw Deenver standing, putting his foot on top of the augman captain who had lost all of his limbs and was not able to regenerate.For a second, Yellow Tiger saw the king in Denver’s face.“Out of all the sons, you resemble the closest to him…” Yellow Tiger commented. “Do you know? When the couples are falling in love, they share more of their parents’ features. So the child looks more like them instead of looking like their grandparents or other relatives.”“What are you talking about?” Denver put pressure on his foot, making the augman captain cough blood out and cringe in pain. “Who are you?”“But you got more of your father’s features and not your mother’s….” Yellow Tiger smirked. “Then again, your skin color is closer to your mother. Your father isn’t as fair as you are.”Denver’s jaw
CHAPTER 292
A few minutes earlier.Alex was brought into the laboratory by a group of four augmen scientists.“Are we going to make another augman out of this guy?”“No, we were ordered to remove his conscience and turn him into a ruthless killer.”“Then we have to operate on both the hippocampus and amygdala.”“While we’re busy working on him, make sure nobody disturbs us, Bulk.”“Sure thing,” Bulk was sitting by the bench, slurping on noodles. He was nearly seven feet tall and looked massive with his muscles hidden beneath layers of fat.He was called Bulk because he never cut his meals. So, he looked like a walking bison.Bulk observed the augmen work on Alex’s brain.They began to extract his memories, which were being displayed on the screen in a zig-zag manner.“So he’s from some poor village, huh. He’s never going to go back there,” Bulk laughed. “So he should thank us.”Just then, the glass doors slid open, and Sheryl entered the hall.Her eyes momentarily froze when she realized that it
CHAPTER 291
Yellow Tiger bent his knees and leaped off the ground.He effortlessly reached the top floor and landed next to Borg.“Where is Denver right now?”“On the 55th floor,” Borg showed him the video feed. “He’s fighting my forces right now. Not sure what he wants, but I’d appreciate it if you can break his knees and take him away… Southern Guardian.”“55th floor, is it?” Yellow Tiger jumped off the balcony and clawed his fingers through the tough cement wall and slid down.Borg secretly smiled. “Yellow Guardian… he’s known for his ferocious fighting style. This martial art monster should be more than enough to deal with Denver. Once Denver is defeated, that’s when I’ll step in and take his ability from him. If I can get my hands on blood lightning, I can take my armor to a whole ‘nother level.”Meanwhile, Natalia used her coat, an advanced tech gadget, to fly through the air and reach great heights where a man was standing atop a cloud.He was a bald man with a rather sad expression on his
CHAPTER 290
Denver went downstairs because he knew Sheryl was going upstairs.“Sheryl’s senses improved greatly after she acquired her superpower,” he thought. “She has more chances of finding Minerva than I do, but I can’t let that slow me down,either.”Denver went for one spot to another in a quick flash while destroying the cameras and any robots that were in his path.“I hope this helps create the diversion for Sheryl to succeed.”Because of the ruckus Denver caused on floors below 60, a lot of augbeasts and augmen rushed to these floors.Denver didn’t use his lightning but rather used aura to blast through the augbeasts, but he only knocked the augmen out.To his shock, the augbeasts regenerated at a visible pace.“What the heck?” He was baffled to see a whole machine arm of an augman captain regenerate fast, but then he remembered what Sheryl had said about regenerating and reproducing bots.“Haha,” the augman captain laughed. “Have you never seen a machine regenerate before? We use what ou
CHAPTER 289
Sheryl knocked the two guards out and tossed them aside.“You went easy on them,” Catherine said as they were rude to her.“They were augmented humans, so fighting them would only waste our energy,” Sheryl stated. “When you fight them, you’ll know.”“I will check for myself later on,” Catherine nodded in excitement.“I think they alerted everyone in the building,” Sheryl also said. “Time for us to change.”They quickly changed their masks to look like the guests.And then they rushed out of the room.Within seconds, many flying bots arrived there, but they didn’t attack Denver and others. They just went right past them.“I was doubtful,” Catherine gave a thumbs-up, “but it worked.”It was Sheryl’s idea, but Sheryl didn’t brag about it.“Were those the self-exploding bots?” Denver queried.“Yeah, the worst part about them is that they can replicate, so there’s no end to them,” Sheryl replied.“Replicate?” Catherine felt like she lost a few of her brain cells. “Aren’t they machines?”“T
