The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 79
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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 80
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
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 82
The faint sounds of laughter and music spilling through the grand doors of the wedding hall were stopped by a man’s words.Dressed in a normal attire, with no suit or a tie, he didn’t seem like he belonged to be walking on a carpeted floor covered in pink flower petals or be under the dazzling display of twinkling fairy lights and white drapery.The people all had their eyes fixed on Denver, wondering who he was and what his issue was.Whispers rippled through the crowd as tension thickened the air.“Who the hell are you?” Peter Mason, the bulky old man with a bald head, stepped forward on the wedding stage and glared at Denver who wasn’t even holding any gift item in his hands. So, Denver appeared worthless in Peter’s eyes. “Do you even have the invitation card? Who let a bastard like you into the wedding hall?”“No one needs to invite death,” Denver replied in a cold tone. “Some things in life don't require approval. A trashy wedding like this doesn’t need an invitation, either. Th
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 83
With muscles like granite and a face set in a grimace, Gregg advanced menacingly, ready to not just throw Denver out of the wedding but do a lot more.Gregg, who was calm so far, wanted to teach a harsh lesson to Denver, so he attacked without reserve, anger radiating off him like heat from a fire.But Denver was no slouch.Fueled by a fire that could not be extinguished, he blocked the powerful punches of Gregg, then sidestepped when a wild swing of an arm came at him.Gregg’s fist grazed past Denver’s chest.Denver used the momentum and pivoted like a whirlwind. His left elbow smashed Gregg’s jaw.Gregg withstood the nasty blow and whipped his knee in Denver’s back.BAM~~!!The impact was stressful, Denver felt as if his entire spine suffered many cracks.“You’re all talk but no substance,” Gregg grabbed Denver’s shoulders from behind and went in for another knee-kick to the spine with the full intent to permanently cripple him.However, at the last moment, Denver brought his hand t
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 84
A few minutes earlier.Lark was watching Denver fight Gregg.After getting knocked to the ground, Denver got back up and fought and adjusted to the opponent’s pace, thereby slowly draining the opponent’s confidence.Lark saw that and smiled. “Yeah, that’s the Denver I know. The monster who doesn’t go down no matter how badly he gets hit. A nightmare to fight against for anybody…. But you’re still not there. You’re still far from what you used to be…. to the point it’s pitiful to watch you like this.”The Denver he knew could put opponents to permanent bed rest with just one strike anywhere on their bodies, damaging their lungs or liver or kidneys.But the current Denver was struggling against someone whom he would have breezed through if he was what he used to be.Even after Denver somehow managed to win against Gregg, Lark did not look satisfied.“If you return like this, you will be swallowed alive. I can’t let that happen.”Lark then personally stepped in and stood in front of Pete
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 85
Even though Lark was wearing a mask, Sia still knew that it was him. She was excited to see who would win.“Interesting. Will the thin guy really be able to make Denver retreat?” she wondered as she eagerly watched the proceedings.“Ugh, my hand,” Peter was still softly crying in pain because his wrist still hurt. “Mr. Lark, please put that bastard in his place for me. I will then give you the partnership you wanted.”Lark smiled. “I like what you said. Consider it done.”Lark had asked Peter for partnership in his finance business. Peter was not interested because he couldn’t find out much about Lark other than that he was investing in many private companies and businesses. He believed Lark to be just a billionaire playboy who didn’t know much about the world.“Consider what done?” Denver snorted. “I’m not going anywhere until I hear an apology from you, Peter.” He briefly looked at the bride Jessie Mason. “Can’t you make your father apologize?”Jessie frowned at him in anger. “Why s
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 86
Denver forgot about the rest of the crowd as he focused all of his senses on Lark.He didn’t believe he was better than his opponent or more skillful.But he believed that he could make up for his lack of experience with his heart.The technique Lark had shown was truly mesmerizing and fearful even.On top of that Lark was much faster than Gregg, even though it didn’t seem like Lark was giving it all.Despite all the lingering doubts he had in his mind, Denver believed in himself to openly say, “I will beat your ass.”His heart raced at this moment, as the result of this fight could mean two different things.Either he’d go back home as a peaceful, proud boyfriend of Catherine who solved her land issue with his own two hands, or he might suffer a humiliating defeat and then get sent to jail, too.Lark, on the other hand, wanted to prove himself by defeating Denver in order to make him realize that he wasn’t ready yet.“You can watch the water flow, but I’m no water,” Lark said, smilin

CHAPTER 172
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
CHAPTER 171
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
CHAPTER 169
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
CHAPTER 167
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
CHAPTER 166
“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
CHAPTER 165
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
