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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 73
Sia’s bright demeanor turned into a faint glimmer that morning. She didn’t look like she was after Denver anymore, but there was no obvious sign of defeat in her eyes, either.Sia didn’t talk much with Catherine, which made Catherine think that Sia was feeling the sting of defeat.Sia left the flat with a half-hearted smile.As she trudged out the door, her presence feeling lighter and less invasive, Catherine’s heart also felt lighter.She turned toward Denver and said, “We should get ourselves a new house.”“Do you want me to buy one?” Denver said.“No, not with that bank card,” Catherine quickly said. “I want us to buy a house together with our own income.”Denver sighed. “It’s going to take at least two years, and even then, we’ll need to take a loan if we want to buy a decent house.”“I know, but we have to buy a new house,” Catherine resolutely said, her eyes sparkling with resolve. “We can’t stay in an apartment like this forever.”“Sure, but I should tell you about one thing.”
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 74
At eight in the morning.Diane learned the password from the drunken bank manager and even confirmed it online. When she saw the balance, she nearly passed out in shock.“My goodness…” She covered her mouth with her hand. “Just how much money is this?”It took half a minute to count the zeros. Was it a hundred million or a billion? She wasn’t sure, but it didn’t matter.Tears of joy took over her soul.“I’m rich. I’m finally rich!” She started transferring the money to her bank account, but to her shock, the bank sent an OTP message to the corresponding mobile.Diane’s heart dropped immediately.“No, no, no,” she wasn’t expecting this to happen. If the account holder were to see the OTP message and deactivate the card, then all her dreams would evaporate into thin air.Diane desperately began to think of a solution using all of her brain cells.At nine in the morning.Catherine’s mom, Subrina, came to the food market. “How much are these lemons?”“Four dollars per kilo,” the vendor re

“I-I wanted to surprise you, Catherine,” Denver didn’t expect that she’d get upset over something like this.He thought he was reversing all the harm her sister had done to her.He thought he was making things much better for her.He thought she’d be happy and excited.Catherine put her hand on her forehead. She was clearly not liking this.Just then, a man in sixties, the neighboring meat shop owner from across the street, arrived there and asked her, “Girl, you seem to be building something big. I was shocked when the old property got razed to the ground, but who knew you were planning to build something like this?“Where did you get that much money? And why are you adding the dumpyard’s landing into your land? You asked permission for it, right? Otherwise, you’ll get into trouble later.”Catherine didn’t quite know how to respond.This neighbor used to look down on her because Catherine refused the love proposal of his son.When she was barely keeping herself above the poverty line
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 76
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Catherine asked, half as loud as her mother.“Trying to save you,” Subrina retorted, coming and standing between those two, “from this monster. That’s what I am doing.”“I’m not the father,” Denver was straightforward.“Bullshit.”“You know deep down in your heart that Diane didn’t even let me touch her,” Denver added in a bit of an angry voice. “We didn’t sleep in the same room, either. So, how can I make her pregnant? How can you even doubt me?”“Because Diane said so,” Subrina blurted.“And you believed her? Don’t you have common sense?”“She wouldn’t lie about something like this! I know my daughters,” Subrina’s gaze was full of warning. “And you should make up for your mistakes. Clear the misunderstanding between you and Diane. Then I’ll personally marry you both.”“HUH?” Both Denver and Catherine were shocked by her words.“Mom, have you gone senile?” Catherine hissed at her. “Didn’t you just hear what he said? He’s not the father. If you don’t tru

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
CHAPTER 295
“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
