The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 62
A few minutes later.The special police arrived at the hospital, causing the gang members of Edward to scatter away. The police chased them and caught as many as they could.Inside the hospital, in a certain room.Stephen was getting treated on the bed. He still looked upset, angry, and frustrated.His dad was sitting next to him, looking like nothing happened.The doctor was tending to Stephen’s wrists.“It’s just a kiss. You kiss strangers all the time,” Edward said, smoking a cigar. “So, why are you upset over kissing your father?”Stephen felt like vomiting just thinking about it. “What if he leaks that picture on the internet? My image will be doomed. Our image will be doomed. The Creamer family will become a joke.”“If he releases that image, then that very same day, his corpse will be hung at our fish farm, too,” Edward said.“What’s the point of doing it after the damage is already done?” Stephen snorted. “You should just kill him now, Dad!”“He’s not just an ordinary guy with
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 63
A few minutes earlier.Diane hid in her car as the Creamer gang members were caught and were being taken away.However, one of the police officers recognized her Corvette and told his superior, “Sir, that’s Stephen Creamer’s car.”Diane saw the officers looking at her, and she started the engine and drove backward. The police chased her on foot, so she drove away fast and ended up hitting the road’s divider. “Shit! Fuck!” She still tried to drive away hurriedly, but the police quickly surrounded her car, leaving her no choice but to squeeze the brake pedal.The officers were about to attack the windows with their batons, but seeing Diane inside, they stopped attacking.“Open the door,” one officer growled.“W-Wait,” she grew so nervous she couldn’t even open the door properly. It was as if she forgot how to open the door. Eventually, she took a deep breath and then lowered the window instead of opening the door. “What’s wrong, officers?”“What’s wrong? Why are you in this car?” the of

Diane’s mind numbed after realizing that it was Denver who had beaten Stephen in the Creamer club.Denver saw Diane and came up to her, with his hands in his pockets. “Are you wondering how I am still alive?”“W-What? No,” Diane played dumb. “Why are you in this hospital? Are you sick?”“Don’t pretend like you care for me, Diane,” Denver’s voice wasn’t cold, but it sure wasn’t warm, either. “What you did to me sure shocked me, but what you did to your sister is worse. However, you won’t be smiling for long.”“I wasn’t the one who destroyed that pool. It was Stephen,” she said. “I told him not to do it, but he did it anyway.”“You think I will believe anything that comes out of your mouth?” Denver calmly asked her back. “I’m sure you’re here because you are still trying to hook up with Stephen for whatever reason, but the longer you stay with that guy, the harder you will fall. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not saying this because I care for you, but for your dad’s sake, I’m giving y
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 65
On his way home, Denver met the governor at a restaurant.“Edward Creamer is not as big as he used to be because of his partner betraying him,” Gerard told him while munching on steak. “But he’s still feared by his peers, not because of his strength but because of his ego. Once he focuses on something, he sees it through to the end. And I’m sure his focus is on you now.”Denver, however, was looking at the steak on the plate. “Can I pack this and also order an extra plate of steak to take home?”“Of course, you can, sir,” the waitress politely said. “Do you wish me to pack any more orders?”Denver then picked a dessert and along with an ice cream.After the waitress left, he looked at the governor and smiled, “I know Edward is dangerous, but I already did something to keep him in check.”“Do you have some dirt on him?” Gerard asked. “Can I see it?”“Uh, you might lose your appetite,” Denver scratched his chin.“Oh, it’s that kind of dirt, huh,” Gerard rolled his head once. “Don’t spar
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 66
After talking with the governor, Denver personally escorted him to the car. “Please look into the dumpyard land I talked about, sir,” he reminded the governor.“Oh, I’ve already talked about it with the land management bureau, and you can consider that public land as yours,” Gerard broke the good news to him. “All you need to do is go to the register office and either lease it or register it, however you want.”“Thank you so much,” Denver went in for a hug, but the guard of the governor stopped him.“It’s fine,” Gerard stopped the guard and then shook Denver’s head. “It’s a pleasure and an honor to meet you. Though you’re so much younger than me, I wish I had your heart. I hope we meet again one day.”“I’ll be sure to meet you later,” Denver assured him.After the governor left, Denver came to his car.To his surprise, Diane was waiting for him, leaning her back against the black Mercedes as if she owned it.She showered a thin smile, but Denver didn’t reciprocate.The cool air of the
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 67
The sun was setting over the Salem city’s skyline, casting a warm glow on the buildings as Denver made his way back to Catherine’s flat.It had been a long week packed with pressures, and he was looking forward to a quiet evening with her.He imagined the two of them curled up on the small couch, watching some of her favorite shows, holding hands, maybe sharing a kiss, just enjoying each other’s company.Even though he had just spoken to Diane a few minutes back, she didn’t even cross his mind right now.If he wanted, he could have easily put Diane in jail for destroying Catherine’s pool property, especially as he had the governor’s support now.However, he spared some mercy for her and only got her fired from her job. He believed that Catherine would pay her sister back in the future.At Catherine’s apartment.Denver stopped his car outside the gate.The apartment’s guard was a female in her forties. She saw Denver and was shocked by his sheer size and looks, even though he was still
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 68
A few minutes earlier.Catherine finished cooking two items: butter chicken, and cheesecake.She then took a random romance novel titled Entwined Fingers from the shelves and opened it.She tried to read the book, but she couldn’t focus.She was eagerly waiting for Denver to come home. She wanted to call him, but she didn’t want to ruin the surprise.He made her car look new, so she wanted to cook a delicious meal for him, which was the least she could do.Even after Denver and Diane were told to marry by Richard, Catherine didn’t fully give up on him.Nevertheless, she has been mostly sad for the past two years or so.But now, love once again breathed life into every pulse in her body. The heartbeat of a thousand dreams echoed through her thoughts.As she exuberantly waited for him, there was a knock on the door.She sprang off the couch like a deer, rushed over to the door and opened it swiftly.Her eyes saw Denver and Sia’s arms wrapped together just for a fraction of a second befo
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 69
“You’re missing out, Denver. Life is too short to settle for such small, silent, and boring experiences.”These were the words that rolled out of Sia’s mouth.Denver didn’t think too much about those words, but Catherine didn’t feel the same way.Catherine felt that Sia was describing Catherine’s qualities as being small, silent, and boring.Was her chest small?Was she not talkative enough?Was her laughter not as pleasant as Sia’s?Was it boring to spend time with her?Catherine tightened the grip on the fork.Denver saw that and thought she might attack Sia at this rate.“C-Cat, you should eat,” Denver suggested in a soft tone.Catherine’s cold gaze shifted at him. “Don’t call me Cat. It reminds me of a terrible incident that happened at Sia’s home.”“Terrible incident? What’s that?” Denver quickly asked.“Sia’s family had a pet cat,” Catherine said. “When that cat was 12 years old, Sia’s family was having a big party at home. They left the cat at someone else’s home. The next morn

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
CHAPTER 293
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
