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 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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 70
Later that same night.Edward Creamer brought his son back to the home, a big bungalow which he had taken from a reputed millionaire after he failed to pay the debt in time.There were more than a dozen gangsters guarding this whole place.Edward personally helped bring his son into the house.“Dad, my arms might be broken, but my legs are just fine,” Stephen told him. “You don’t have to act like I might fall.”Both of Stephen’s arms were tied up in thick bandages.“You’re not going to come out of the house for two months,” Edward warned him. It was more of a threat than just a warning.“What about Denver then? If I don’t go outside, how will I be able to ruin him?”“Leave him to me,” Edward assured him.After Stephen sat down on the couch, Edward went to shelves and grabbed a pair of female sandals and started slapping himself on the face.“Tsk,” Stephen could bear to watch it.Those sandals belonged to Stephen’s mother and Edward’s ex-wife. Every time Edward failed to keep his word,

Edward’s hand instinctively reached out for his gun, but then he realized that his gun was actually empty.Still, he pointed the empty gun at Lark without hesitation. “Who the fuck are you? How did you get into my house?”“He’s a shareholder of Pinkness company,” Stephen remembered him. “Since you’re here, it means you want to cooperate with me in getting the company into my hands.”Lark didn’t reply to Stephen or to Edward.He came down the stairs at his own pace and then kissed the maid’s hand gently. “You can go now, dear.”The maid nervously smiled and then scuttled away into the kitchen.Stephen was grinding his teeth in frustration already, but it caused him more pain because he lost a few teeth due to Denver.It made him feel all the more sour.Lark sipped on wine and approached them with confidence and charisma as a gun was still pointed at him.“Don’t point such a scary thing at me, Mr. Edward,” Lark smiled gently. “I didn’t come here to have a fight with you. If I did, I wou

The next morning.Denver woke up before the sunlight spilled through the curtains.He couldn’t sleep because he was nervous as to what the two ladies were doing inside the bedroom.He didn’t get any weird ideas, except that the girls might pull each other’s hair and go bald.“I heard them quarreling after entering the room last night, but then they went silent,” he thought. “And then I couldn’t hear anything. Even now, it feels like nobody is in the room.”Eventually, he gathered courage and knocked on the door. “Cat, ahem, Catherine, are you inside?”There was no response.He knocked on the door twice.A few seconds passed, making Denver feel nervous.“Catherine!” He raised his voice, and the door opened.Catherine was staring at him without blinking. “Why are you shouting so early in the morning?”“I-I just wanted to see your face first after waking up,” Denver replied.“Really?” Catherine’s frustration vanished, and she let out an untaught smile. “Nobody has said such a beautiful t

Penal Hall Master Drake just arrived at the council building on a skateboard.An old lady in her hundreds was waiting for him in the verandah, eating sugarcane. Despite her age, she had all her teeth intact.“Did you meet him?” she asked.Drake nodded and tried to grab a sugarcane stick.But she slapped his hand away. “How was he?”“He’s good in some ways and clumsy in other ways, ma’am,” Drake replied, “but he seems motivated to get his hands on the secret treasure.”“In the past five years, the kettles of the top rankers have grown in strength by sweeping all the treasures from the caves,” she said. “They are growing stronger than the penal hall. The balance of power is shifting, and the biggest troublemaker among the rankers just has to arrive now.”“Whom do you prefer as the next king?” Drake curiously asked.“I prefer the one His Majesty chooses,” she replied.“Being diplomatic again,” Drake tried to grab the sugarcane stick again, but she slapped his hand away once more. His han

The twelve-feet tall open mouth of the monstrous serpent broke the wall into bits and zoomed in Denver from behind.He didn’t even look back.Placing his hand behind his back, he released a burst of red lightning that destroyed not just the blocks of the wall that were still in the air but also the serpent’s head.The snake lost half of its head, but it was still wriggling about, its head regenerating at a visible pace.“What the hell?” Alex was baffled. “How can it still be alive after half of its head is gone?”“The nanobots are healing it, I suppose,” Sheryl said. “We have to find the crystal chip that’s somewhere in its body. If we destroy that chip, then the snake won’t be able to regenerate.”“But where’s that chip?” Alex asked. “How will we know?”“I’m afraid my aura is not skillful enough to enter other people’s bodies and check them,” Sheryl responded. “That’s something medics are good at. I’m neither a medic nor a master aura user.”“Then we have to destroy the entirety of t
CHAPTER 170
Sheryl was walking in the front.Alex was behind her.Catherine was the third, and Denver was in the last as they explored the caves after he had opened up the closed path.The air hung thick and damp, tasting of mildew and something ancient, something that made the back of Catherine’s throat itch.She was unconscious before, so the eerie atmosphere now gave her chills.In the front, Sheryl was holding a makeshift torch, with the flickering flames painting grotesque shadows on the cave walls, which freaked Catherine out even more.Alex moved with a practiced grace, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.“Denver, this place smells rotten and metallic,” Catherine complained. “I don’t think I can bear it for long.”“Just vomit once more then,” Sheryl casually dismissed her words.“Yeah, if I do, I’ll do it on your face,” Catherine replied.Alex, who was in their middle, was just not able to focus because of these two. Suddenly, his nose jerked a little.“Wait…” He stopped. “Smell tha

A fighter jet came flying toward Hawk Park.The military officials at the border launched a missile to destroy it, but none of the missiles hit it.The jet managed to breach the lands of the Hawk Park.“Haha,” the pilot in the jet snickered while chewing gum. “That was easy. I just have to dump the gift and then speed off and go get my million dollars.”Just then a person flew up through the clouds.“I-Is that a person?” The pilot was shocked to see Mickey who was floating in the jet’s path. “Is he trying to kill himself?”Mickey raised his hand, and the fighter jet’s speed came to a halt before it reached him.The pilot nearly shat his heart out through his butthole. He still quickly recovered and pressed the red button.A big missile dropped, but then it didn’t go the way he intended it to.Rather, it started to float and went under Mickey’s feet. Standing on it, he stared down at the pilot.The pilot dropped the gum in his mouth.“You gotta be shitting me…” All the hairs on his bod
CHAPTER 168
A few minutes later.Denver sat down on a broken rock, with Catherine sitting next to him.She was awake and was staring at Drake who was talking with Sheryl in the distance. “Who is he exactly?”“Don’t think too much,” Denver touched her neck to feel her temperature. “Are you feeling okay now?”“Yeah,” Catherine loved seeing the worry on his face. She quickly gave him a kiss.Seeing that, Alex’s eyes turned a little wider.Denver was feeling hot inside because of having to push himself to fight Drake, but Catherine’s kiss surprisingly made him feel better.It was just a simple kiss, but it was priceless to him.At the same time, he was wondering if he should tell Catherine about his past. After thinking about it, he said, “Cat, I might have killed some people in the past.”“Okay. So?”“Even women.”“So?” Catherine didn’t seem upset about it. “Don’t tell me you killed children, too?”“I don’t think so, but I don’t know,” Denver hesitantly said. “My memories are slowly coming back, but

An area of over 12,000 sq ft was destroyed.Rubble was all that remained.Part of the stone caves were now exposed to the sky.Sheryl stood at the border of the destruction while carrying Catherine on her shoulder.Her heart beat anxiously. “Boss! Are you there?” she yelled.A giant pillar of black fire burst out of the rubble and then evaporated pretty fast, revealing Drake who was floating in midair,He had black wings made out of aura.He stared down at Denver who was holding Alex by the shirt.Denver was bleeding from the forehead, but his gaze was locked on Drake.His body felt like a blazing furnace from having used the blood lightning to a great extent.Still, he didn’t show any discomfort.Alex, on the other hand, was not conscious and was wounded. But he was still alive.“You stretched out your aura to destroy the falling blocks before it hit him,” Drake muttered. “I almost want to rejoice for witnessing such a brilliant move while our skulls clashed.”He came floating down a

“If you’re not going to do what’s good for you, then I will have to beat you and throw you in the dark cell by force,” Drake approached them, holding the black aural sword.“Didn’t my dad already punish me?” Denver asked while still carrying Catherine on his shoulder. “Why are you doing this now?”He didn’t want to fight Drake if possible, especially because of Catherine and Sheryl’s current situation.“I’m doing this for your own good,” Drake replied in a sharp tone. “Put that woman down if you don’t want her to get caught up in our fight.”Denver frowned.Feeling deprived of a better choice, he put Catherine next to Sheryl and said, “Stay back and stay alert.”“Boss, don’t keep your eyes on his sword,” Sheryl advised, “or you’ll lose.” She had already taken a healing pellet, so her bleeding stopped.“I’ll keep that in mind,” Denver clenched his fists, and red fumes released from his fists, turned into electricity and crackled the air around him.It soon spread throughout his body an

Sheryl couldn’t help but frown while looking at the old man with a hawk tattoo on his fully shaved head. (This bastard faked his aura and tricked us into coming here. I can’t believe I took the bait. Forget about getting a treasure, if he wants to make things difficult for us…) “What are you doing here, Penal Master?” she asked aloud.Drake wasn’t even looking at Sheryl. His gaze was on the tallest man. “Don Denver… you broke the code and went on a personal mission for three years.”“And the king has already stripped him of his rank,” Sheryl was quick to reply. “There’s nothing more for you to add to the king’s decree… unless you’re siding with one of the rankers and are taking their side, which means you are not fit to be the head of the penal hall since that position requires you to be neutral.”She had to talk provocatively in order to grab his attention.“Green Fang…” Drake’s eyes turned darker. “You didn’t stop your boss from leaving, so you should receive punishment as well.”“
CHAPTER 164
There were dozens of red eyes glowing in the darkness, which made Alex step back in trepidation.“These growls… they’re the dungeon jackals!” Alex quickly said. “They are smart, and there are so many of them. Even the slightest of wind gusts will turn this cigar lighter off, and we’ll become like sitting ducks to these jackals.”“Dude…” Sheryl pushed him aside. “Didn’t you hear us tell you that we’ve been here before? If those jackals are smart, they’ll know whom to pick a fight with and whom to not!”She released aura through her body, which was barely felt by Alex, and it also made the light flicker.However, the jackals which were closing in suddenly stopped. After sensing the aura, they were hesitant at first.Sheryl released more aura in the direction of the jackals, and they all turned and ran away.“The red eyes are gone,” Alex was quite surprised. “I’ve never seen those beasts retreat without even putting up a fight. Did you use aura? How did you do it?”“It’s not something yo
