The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 49
Denver’s friend, Jeremy, came to Pinkness headquarters, wearing a decent suit he bought with the money Denver had given him.Though Jeremy wanted to bring his daughter Cindy, he couldn’t do it since this was his first day, and he was still finding it a bit hard to believe all this was happening.When he reached the entrance, Joseph, the entrance guard smiled, gesturing to him to enter.“Do you know Denver?” Jeremy hesitantly asked.Joseph was startled and quickly got up. “A-Are you perhaps Mr. Jeremy?”“Yeah,” Jeremy nodded.Joseph quickly saluted. “Good morning, sir!”Joseph was not just surprised but also a bit overwhelmed by it. The guards’ actions did not go unnoticed. The workers also came out and greeted Jeremy inside. He totally did not expect such a reception. He received bouquets from all the workers and the manager.Robert, the former CEO of the company, personally received Jeremy and took him upstairs and made him feel comfortable. “Sir Denver told me to help you with gettin
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 50
Jeremy was tied up to a utility pole and was being beaten with a stick in front of everyone.Joseph and other workers of the company could only watch but not dare to step forward. Even the likes of Robert was just watching, so how could they step in and do anything?There were a dozen men blocking anyone from approaching Stephen or Jeremy, so nobody stepped in.Lark was watching everything from the third floor, wearing a look of indifference as though he had seen far more cruel things with his eyes.“I was supposed to become the CEO of the company,” Stephen purposely kept hitting Jeremy’s arms and thighs so that Jeremy wouldn’t die so easily. “Your friend Denver ruined it, and to add insult to the injury, he’s appointed a trash like you to become the CEO. Does this big massage parlor company look so cheap that the likes of you can dream of sitting in the CEO’s chair?”Jeremy was bleeding from his face, and from many other parts of his body. He had cried so much already, and he felt so

In the Creamer club, which was owned by Stephen himself.Stephen and Daine were dancing in the crowd, as the DJ played different songs. It was eleven in the morning, but they were all drinking and dancing and enjoying themselves, for it looked like a night inside the club.After dancing for nearly twenty minutes, Diane was tired. She went to a couch and ordered the girls who were sitting there to leave. They were annoyed by her, but they still listened to her and left.“This club is pretty good,” Diane smiled as she looked around. “Lots of girls here to pull men in continuously. They are earning thousands of dollars every day, but that’s only the front. They are using the girls to get the guys’ numbers and then suck more money out of them through relationships. By selling the items they get from the guys, they’re earning tens of thousands of dollars every week while only paying little money to the girls, just enough to keep them hungry for more. It’s a dangerous but brilliant tactic.
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 52
Stephen was checking his bank balance. There was a little over thirty thousand dollars in his account, and this frustrated him.“Tch, I have nothing but this bar on my name,” he frowned. “I have to get hold of Pinkness no matter what. That company will help me and my father’s gang to expand our businesses throughout the country. The Creamer family will soon be earning in millions every year and will achieve much more than we did in the past.”Stephe believed that Pinkness would be a much better place to use the girls to lure male customers and fool them into forming relationships with the girls, thus enabling the girls to suck a lot of money from the male customers. It was also possible to turn the female customers into high-end prostitutes or call girls or escorts or however Stephen saw fit.“As long as I feed the police officers and some politicians, no one will dare point their fingers at me. If they do, I’ll just cut those fingers off in public,” Stephen thought. “Diane did a very

In the outskirts of the city, at a ten-acre fish farm near the southern mountains.A bald man in his early sixties was smoking weed from a pipe while sitting next to one of the fish ponds. He had a big cyst on his left ear.“Please forgive me, Boss Edward,” a man was crawling at Edward’s feet, begging for his life. “I have two children and a wife waiting at home. If I die, they will not survive. Please have mercy on me.”Edward put his foot on that man’s head. “I forgive anyone except those who act like my friends and stab me in the back. Many years back, when I went home, I saw my wife sleeping with another man. She asked for forgiveness just like you did. She begged me to forgive her and give her another chance.”He put his hand to the side, and one of his men handed him an ax.“I gave her another chance. And guess what? Weeks later, I saw her in a park with that same motherfucker. That’s when I realized that you don’t give second chances to those who cheat on you.” Edward brought th
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 54
Lark just left Pinkness and was walking away.He remembered a conversation he had with Denver in the past on a certain mountain.“How long will we have to do everything he says? When are we going to fight back?” Lark asked. “I think we have enough power. If we start a war now… we will win.”“You really think that everyone who takes our side will support us until the end?” Denver asked him back while hacking trees. His legs were tied together in chains. His hands were also chained, but he was still able to move his arms together to hack the trees. “If we want a seed to grow into a tree that will touch heaven, we can’t throw manure in the sky. We have to put it in the ground. No matter how high of a result we want to achieve, we have to work at the ground level, Lark.”“Is that way you’re not even caring about going up the ranks anymore?” Lark asked with frustration.“A king can’t see the desires of his people unless he sits at the same table,” Denver replied. “If I aim to sit on the thr

At Harryfield hospital.Denver’s car stopped. He dragged Stephen out by his shirt collar.Stephen was crying in pain. “Let me go!”The guard who saw that quickly stood in his path, denying him entry.“What are you doing, mister? Let him go!” the guard growled.“If you don’t want your teeth broken, then move!” Denver warned.The guard felt intimidated by him and moved out of the way.Denver forcibly took Stephen inside.“You’re going to regret this,” Stephen hissed at Denver while frothing at his mouth. “My dad will surely kill you.”Denver didn’t respond. He took Stephen to a particular room.Stephen saw Jeremy in that room, his body covered in many bandages. Both of his eyes were swollen, and he couldn’t even see with his eyes right now.“Look at him,” Denver pushed Stephen near to the bed. “He’s just a mere low-level construction worker. He does the same heavy labor every day, and he doesn’t get the opportunity to do anything special. But he doesn’t let that beat him down. He showe

Catherine finished her interview and was returning home by foot. It was only a three mile walk, so she didn’t take the bus in order to save the money.Right now, money was more important than time because she had nothing productive to do regarding her career anyway.Catherine saw two lovers kissing on the road, and it made her remember Denver. And she smiled. “I gave him my first kiss. It wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be, but I will never forget it.”“You’ll never forget what?” a voice came from her behind. Catherine quickly turned around, only to see her tallest female friend Sia.“What are you doing here?” Catherine asked.“I finished my part-time job,” Sia said, but she didn’t look the least bit tired.“Already?”“Yeah. I only work for two hours. It’s a special job, after all. They pay me forty dollars per hour,” Sia said. “Anyhow, how did you end up with Denver?”Catherine was surprised. “How did you know?”“Yesterday, we came to your flat. He was there. Didn’t he tell you

Diane arrived at the Supreme Bank’s headquarters as it wasn’t too far from her house.It was an international bank, so the building was pretty big and polished everywhere.It took about thirty minutes of brisk walking for Diane to get here.Normally, Diane wouldn’t have walked this much distance, but her mind wasn’t settled right now.Her thoughts were also flying everywhere as she had no idea what her future held, or if she even had a future or not.All she could hope right now was for her treatment to go well so that she could enjoy the rest of her life.“I never thought the money I received after Dad’s death would come to aid like this,” Diane thought as she entered the bank.She stopped by the receptionist’s desk. “I want to withdraw all the money in my account.”“All of it?” The receptionist called a mobile number and then told Diane, “the manager is calling for you.”She guided Diane to the manager’s room.The manager didn’t even tell Diane to sit. “Give me your card,” he said.
CHAPTER 269
In Salem city.At Westbrook Street.Diane grabbed her bank’s passbook and was heading to the bank, but a green Mercedes stopped in front of the house.Joseph Mason stepped out and kept staring at her.“Have you never seen a woman before?” Diane snorted hot air. “You perv!”Joseph snorted back just as hard. “I thought you might be different, but you’re just like your sister. Anyway, I came here to give you the invitation card.”“Invitation card? For what?” Diane frowned.“Isn’t it obvious?” Joseph threw an envelope at her.She caught the envelope and opened it.To her utter bewilderment, it was a wedding invitation for the marriage of Peter Mason and Subrina Palmer.“What the fuck is this?” Diane couldn’t believe it.“Yeah. I had the same reaction when my dad said he’s going to marry your mother,” Joseph said, taking out a wine bottle from his car. “This makes us step-siblings. So, how about we share a drink and get to know each other? I’d like to know more about your sister, too. Is s

Denver was practicing his Blood Arts using his personal manual which he had written in the past.Sheryl had kept it safe for him.There was a mosquito flying about in the room. It tried to land on Denver’s cheek, but the hot vapors didn’t let it touch Denver.As it flew away, its body suddenly blasted to bits.“The ability to affect the blood all around me. This is the art that needs more honing,” Denver thought. “With this ability, I can take on many enemies at a time. But…” He looked at his hand. “Will I be able to bear with all the blood that’s going to be spilled?”Blood Arts was actually part of the eight Hawker Arts, but thanks to Denver’s special blood lightning ability, he was able to take the Blood Arts to another level, making it even more deadly.“The reason I probably didn’t bother about mastering all the eight martial arts of Hawkers was because I focused more on Blood Arts,” Denver clenched his fists. “It can kill, but I wanted it to heal as well, making this not just a
CHAPTER 267
Sheryl, Denver, and Catherine returned to Rose Park.Catherine gave Lark to a local street commander to treat him using the herbs.Sheryl told Denver about the plans Mickey and Black Dragon were having, but she excluded the part about them wanting to go after Diane because Sheryl didn’t think of Diane as important.She didn’t want Denver to spare his time over Diane who had cheated on him.Sheryl had already allocated two of her gang members to Diane to keep her safe. She believed that was enough.Denver hissed a little and touched his knee as he sat down.“Is something wrong with your leg?” Catherine asked him.“My right knee hurts a little. That’s all,” Denver said, trying not to appear frustrated.“Let me check,” Catherine insisted.“It’s okay,” he politely refused.Catherine still pulled his pant leg which exposed his swollen knee. “Hurts a little, you say?” she squeezed his knee with her fingers, and he hissed. “Yeah. Thought so. There are times when you should act tough, and the

The clouds discharged sparks of lightning not toward the ground but onto each other, thereby lighting up the entire sky in Hawk Park.It was daytime, but it looked brighter than day itself as golden white lightning made the clouds and the sky look both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.Almost everybody in Hawk Park felt it. Some ran out of their homes to see this rare phenomenon where not a single drop of rain fell but lightning bolts crisscrossed heaven..Novick, who was playing with a tiny chameleon in his room, looked out through the window. “The clash of kings…”At Golden Tower.Lily was watching the sky from the balcony. “This presence… It seems the one fighting Mickey inside the cube was Denver. He’s catching up to us fast. If he survives today, he will become a force to be reckoned with.”She made a phone call and said, “Serena, the cube is broken. Make sure you kill at least Green Fang or Denver’s girlfriend.”“I was thinking of sneaking in and killing Denver though,”
CHAPTER 265
“How are you able to conjure the power of white blood cells outside your body?” Mickey asked.The white lightning streaks around Denver’s fists thickened. “Maybe they just want to prevent my heart from getting sad.”“Is that so?” Mickey squinted his eyes. (His blood is reacting to his thoughts as if it has some level of sentience. It’s interesting, but it feels annoying, thinking about it.)“Why? Are you jealous that you can’t do it?” Denver asked with a serious expression. He was just trying to understand what kind of a person Mickey was, even though it wouldn’t change much.“Why would I be jealous?” Mickey released golden light around his whole body, and it was so strong that the black floor under his feet was fading away as if it couldn’t withstand its nature. “You will experience the loss of losing your lover and your beloved Green Fang as well. On top of that, you will lose this fight against me. But don’t worry. I won’t kill you. I will keep you alive just enough to keep hanging

“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,
CHAPTER 263
“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 yo
