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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 75
“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

“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

Subrina and Catherine left in the car.Denver talked with the site manager and told him that he got the clearance for the dumpyard.He wrote a check of 100,000 dollars and gave it to the manager. “Bring only the quality material. I will be overseeing things, so if I feel that you’re playing tricks, I’ll make you regret it.”The manager knew that Denver used to be a construction worker. “I would not dare play tricks with you, Mr. Denver.”“If I’m satisfied with the end product, I’ll give you a fat bonus,” Denver told him, making him feel excited.“I will work extra hard and make sure you’ll be thoroughly satisfied, sir.”Denver noticed that the manager gave him a promotion from ‘mister’ to ‘sir.’ “Just call me, Denver,” he said. “And you’re going to create the three pools just like it shows in the pictures, and also a special villa where four to five people can comfortably live.”“Of course, sir, I mean, Mr. Denver.”Denver had already seen the plans. There was a pool which looked like

Diane came home at nine in the morning.She didn’t look happy, even though she managed to get the password. After all, she couldn’t transfer the money because an OTP message was sent to the owner’s mobile.From what she knew, the owner of the account was not even Stephen but someone else. The card was given to him by someone else.This was what she believed.“If I don’t know who the owner is, then how am I going to move forward?” Diane wondered.Sitting on the couch, she kept looking at the card.Suddenly she saw the faint, thin words ‘Don Denver’ written on the card.“Wait, this…” her expression slowly but surely changed. “This name… is it the name of the owner?”She thought about it, but she never thought that Denver could be the owner.“If I ask the bank manager, he will give me the details,” Diane thought, “but that means I’ll have to go out on a date with him tonight and get him to drink a lot. It’s annoying, but there’s no other way.”Even though she had the card, she was not ab

Denver left the pool property and looked for a taxi, so he had to come to the market. He saw a friend, Samson, who owned a goods taxi, currently unloading items into the shop.Denver went there and helped him with the goods. After quickly finishing the job, they both slapped each other’s hands and tried to arm-wrestle at the same time.Samson was a big guy, but Denver still managed to beat him.Nevertheless, Samson laughed. “You are as strong as ever. What are you doing these days?”“Not much. I need to go to a wedding hall,” Denver said. “Will you give me a ride?”“You don’t have to ask, bro,” Samson punched Denver’s shoulder. “Get inside.”It was a twenty minute ride to the wedding hall.“Thanks for the ride, buddy,” Denver took his purse out to pay the money.“No, dude. I can’t take money for such a small ride,” Samson quickly drove away. “See ya later.”Denver could only shake his head initially but he smiled.Samson was a hard-working man, so seeing him made Denver feel motivated

Sia was talking with the groom and the bride. “I wish you two a bright future.”And then she leaned closer to the bride and whispered, “Tonight, you better give our friends a special wine party.”“Tonight?” the bride, Jessie Mason, was shocked. “No, I have to be with Fred tonight.”“Is your new husband more important than your childhood friends?” Sia tried to prick her guilty conscience.“I-I’ll try,” Jessie replied.Sia then put the gift box in her hand and then walked off the stage. Just then, she saw a tall, handsome man climbing the stage.It was none other than Lark.She couldn’t take her eyes off his masculine face. He wasn’t as tall as her, but his facial cuts were sharp, and that attracted her to him.Peter Mason personally escorted Lark to the bride and the groom.Lark gave them gifts, which Peter told them to open.They opened the boxes. The bride received a diamond necklace worth half a million. The groom got the keys for a black Ferrari GTS also worth nearly half a million
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 81
The air was perfumed with wildflowers and the rich scent of pine. Lush greenery framed the picturesque outdoor venue where the wedding of Jessie Mason and Fred Forder was set to take place.Guests arrived in droves, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly anticipating the ceremony that would unite the two families.Denver, however, arrived wearing a simple formal shirt and pants, which weren’t even ironed.Unlike others’ eyes which were filled with joy, Denver’s had a fierce determination in his eyes.As he was looking for Peter Mason, Sia took two glasses of wine and approached him.“Hey, Denver, it’s so surprising to see you here,” she offered him a glass of wine while showering a heart-warming smile.Denver was momentarily stunned by her because she looked like a completely different lady in this sexy attire. “Uh, ahem, thanks, but I don’t drink.”Sia blinked twice. “What? You don’t… drink?”Did she hear it correctly?Was he lying just to avoid a conversation with her?“I didn’t mi

“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,

“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 y

“What the heck?” Catherine was dumbfounded as she looked around.Everything was black inside the cube-like space, but there was still just enough light somehow.“It feels like we’re in another dimension,” Catherine opined. “What is this?”“You’ve got it right,” Sheryl said. “Black Dragon used a treasure to create a subspace. We’re still in our dimension, but as long as these black walls aren’t broken, everything we do here will not affect the outside world.”“So, there’s no reason for the brothers to hold back, huh…” Catherine was growing nervous.Even though she was the one who suggested the duel, she was still nervous because Mickey had this invincible aura around him.“What does this First Son actually do?” Catherine asked curiously.“From what I know, he owns many big betting companies. He also buys items for a cheaper price and sells them for a higher price,” Sheryl said.“So, he’s like a stock market trader and a fraudster?” Catherine snorted. “That’s no big deal. What was Denve

Mickey was heading back up the mountain, but then the moment his spiritual construct saw Denver, he stopped in his tracks.“What’s wrong, Lord?” Nox asked.Mickey’s blood started to stir, and all the plant life and rocks on Mount First began to tremble.Nox’s heart shook for a second as he was expecting it.Kuro, on the other hand, was over a hundred feet away, but the pressure made his knees lose strength. (What’s with this bloodlust? It’s on par with Shindo. No, maybe even more.)Black Dragon, however, continued drinking white rum rather casually as if he had an inkling of understanding about the ongoing situation.Even though Denver and others were underground, they could also feel the pressure.The earth above them got ripped off like a roof getting blown away against strong wind.“You two. Leave,” Denver told them.“How can we leave you behind?” Catherine grabbed his hand. “Let’s fight together.”“This is an order,” Denver commanded.“You think I’m your subordinate?” Catherine ba

“Go on. Take him away,” Mickey said, waving his hand. “Even injured pet dogs take time to trust humans again. You are left hurt and heartbroken by your boss, so I know that it will take time for you to trust me. I will not force you, but I will wait for you to come to me.”Sheryl wasn’t sure why he was spouting the good-guy nonsense in this situation.Was he really expecting her to believe his words?Either way, she picked up Lark whom Nox had dropped on the ground.As she took a couple of steps, Mickey said, “Tell Denver that I won’t have to do anything about Rose Park. The other rankers are not going to let it thrive. I’m not going to bother myself with him unless he overcomes the weaker ones. Only when I think he’s worthy of time, I’ll directly confront him. Until then… tell him to be careful.”A madman’s feat was never certain till he gave it, Sheryl thought. Mickey was a madman in his own right.Sheryl briefly stopped and turned back. “I know you will not like what I’m about to

“What brought you here, Madam Green Fang?” Mickey sarcastically asked.“I was selling flowers, and I thought this mountain might have some potential flower lovers,” Sheryl responded. “But all your faces scream fire that burns the flowers and everything to ashes.”“Ah, and here I thought you might have finally opened your eyes and given up on Denver,” Mickey said, “and you came to be under my wing.”“It’s common sense to only stay under the wing of someone who actually wants to protect you,” Sheryl retorted.“It’s harsh of you to say that,” Mickey maintained a calm but somewhat serious expression. “You can ask any of my workers, and they’ll tell you how wonderfully I take care of them.”“Oh, save your lies, Mickey,” Sheryl harrumphed. “You think I don’t know how you casually kill people who work for you. You treat their lives as if they’re worth nothing!”“I only am cruel to those who commit mistakes,” Mickey replied.“Even a king wouldn’t be so arrogant,” Sheryl blurted, “and you’re n

Black Dragon was fast as lightning.Lark didn’t even see Black Dragon’s movement. Even Nox was a fraction of a second late to pull Lark back.But then Mickey caught Black Dragon’s wrist and stopped his hand before it reached Lark’s neck.On top of that, the wind generated by his arm movement was also nullified by Mickey.Nevertheless, Lark’s face was filled with sweat. “I knew you were short-tempered, Easter Garden, but you’re just a bomb ready to explode whenever it wants.”“Why did you stop me?” Black Dragon looked at Mickey. “What he said makes him a traitor. And he must be killed. His head must be hanged, and everyone shall know why he died.”“He was obviously joking,” Mickey said and looked at Lark. “Weren’t you?”“...Yeah, I was,” Lark replied without blinking.“That’s not something you joke about,” Black Dragon caught Lark’s little finger and ripped it off the left hand.Lark screamed for a second, but he quickly bore the pain and made no sound.“I would have taken the entire a
