The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 89
Catherine came straight to the wedding hall.Subrina was putting makeup on in a hurry. “Did Peter Mason really invite us to his daughter’s wedding reception?”“He did. I’m afraid he might be planning on taking the pool property,” Catherine frowned. “I have to use this reception as a stage to openly confront him. Maybe, the media channels will catch it and telecast it on their channels.”“Don’t be so foolish. You think the media will publish any bad news on Peter Mason? He’d just buy them off.”“Hmph,” Catherine looked at her mother. “Mom, you look like a clown. Why are you putting on so much makeup? Are you planning on seducing Peter Mason or what?”Subrina paused for a second. “W-Why didn’t I think of that? That’s a good idea.”“Ugh,” Catherine kept shaking her head. “You’re unbelievable.”“It’s been so long since your father died, and I don’t want to live my old age alone,” Subrina said, “so what’s wrong with me trying to catch a big fish?”“Peter Mason is a billionaire, Mom. Why wo

“Is she really your mother?” Peter asked Catherine.She couldn’t tell if he was joking or not.But why would someone like him even need to joke with Catherine?“Yes, she is my mom,” Catherine calmly replied, not at all smiling.While Catherine could admit her mother looked good for her age, she wasn’t as good-looking as how Peter reacted.“I didn’t know you had such a beautiful mother, Catherine,” Peter was smiling at Subrina, and Subrina was smiling back at him.Catherine just couldn’t watch it already. “Ahem, so why did you ask me to come here, Mr. Peter? Won’t we just be wasting your precious time?”“Actually,” Peter said in a low voice, “let’s talk about it on the side.”Peter then took them to a corner and briefly told them what happened, excluding some humiliating details, of course.“A-Are you speaking the truth?” Catherine found it quite hard to believe.Denver fought against a dozen guards and won?She felt more angry than happy because he did such a risky thing even though i

“I did my masters in business in Oxford. I will soon earn millions of yearly revenue,” Joseph said. “Is your boyfriend better than me?”He was oozing confidence.“I’m aware that business interviews require a resume,” Catherine said, “but the dating world also requires them these days, huh. Then I’m afraid I’m not a good match for you. I’m just a poor girl.”“That’s not an issue. Society expects men to be successful and women to be beautiful,” Joseph was still smiling confidently. “So, I think we’re a good match.”“So, you’ll be okay with living with a woman who dumps her boyfriend because someone richer has entered her life?” Catherine asked him back. “So, in the future, if someone richer than you shows up and seeks my hand, then… you won’t mind if I leave with him, right?”Joseph’s smile hit a brake. “Don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself?”“You picked the words right out of my mouth, Mr. Joseph Mason,” Catherine was still polite with him as much as possible. “If you think

Joseph grabbed Catherine by the arm and turned her with just enough force to make her face him.Ignoring that she was holding a food plate, he went in for a quick kiss.Catherine’s instinct kicked in so fast her head moved back before shock surfaced upon her visage.Catherine’s arms lifted up with force, and the food on the plate fell in Joseph’s face. “What the hell is wrong with you?”Joseph was very shocked.And so was the crowd, not knowing exactly why the food was on Joseph’s face and clothes.Catherine looked annoyed and upset.It was all thanks to her neck’s agility that she was able to move her head back, or she would have been kissed by this man when there were so many eyes around.Joseph’s expression hardened.“Son, what happened?” Peter rushed over.Subrina saw Catherine next to Joseph and thought she might have done something. Her heart started racing at the thought that what Catherine did might just ruin the positive vibe she had going with Peter.“We collided, Dad. It wa

It was a resounding slap.Catherine didn’t seem as surprised as she was hurt by the slap.Even though Catherine had seen her mother’s hand coming, she didn’t evade.Nevertheless, her eyes turned teary. “Thank you… Mom,” her voice cracked.Subrina’s eyes were red, but her arm was shaking. She was already regretting what she had done.“I definitely deserved this for talking back against you,” Catherine said. “As long as I’m in line with you, I’m a good daughter, but when my words don’t align with yours, then I’m the useless one. Thank you for not disappointing me. I’m certain now. You will never change.”Catherine entered the car and drove away without her mother.Subrina couldn’t even tell her daughter to wait for her. No words came out of her mouth right now.Sia was watching all this from the entrance, and she looked shocked. “Catherine’s mom is crazier than her. How can she slap a grown daughter like that? Is Catherine going to complain to Denver and have him beat her mother?”She w
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 94
Catherine came to her apartment, driving fast.Her renovated car made it possible for her to drive fast and let out some fumes.She parked the car inside, but then she saw Denver working, filling up the cracks on the pillars and walls.“What are you doing?” she asked, looking genuinely confused.“I asked him to do it,” Layla, the apartment’s guard, came over to them quickly with a big smile on her face. “I heard that your boyfriend is a construction worker, so I thought he could make the apartment look better just like he made your car better.”“Uh, okay,” Catherine took it casually. “As long as he gets paid for his work, I don’t mind it. How much do you charge per hour, Denver?”“Thirty to fifty depending on the work,” Denver said. “But since it’s for our apartment, I’ll only charge twenty dollars.”“Actually, I’m not going to pay the hourly wages,” Layla scratched her jaw.“What?” Catherine was shocked.Even Denver looked just as shocked. He thought Layla was automatically going to

Denver was skillfully applying cement to the cracks, and he was on a flow.But he suddenly stopped because he saw something in one of those cracks. There were small white things.At first he didn’t think much, but then he used to brush to pull those white things out of the cracks.Upon observing them, he realized that they were lizard eggs.They were so tiny they looked adorable.Denver wondered what he should do with them. If he were to put these back in the cracks, then he wouldn’t be able to seal the crack.But if he were to put them outside, these eggs would probably crack.And the mother lizard was nowhere to be seen.After some thinking, Denver decided to leave some part of the cracks open and put the eggs back in there.Just as he was putting the eggs, Layla came from behind and grabbed his biceps. “Are these real?”The eggs almost fell from his palm. “Whoa, be careful.”“Mm? What’s wrong?”“There are lizard eggs in my hand. They could have fallen to the ground.”“Oh, I’m sorry

Denver came to the flat, opened the door and was entering.He had to lower his head to enter, but his head still ended up hitting the edge, making him hiss in pain.Catherine jumped out of the couch and rushed over. “Are you okay?”“Ugh, yeah,” Denver said, despite feeling like hot coffee was brewing on top of his head. He could feel vapors coming out. “I think so.”“Let me take a look,” Catherine said.Denver had to sit down on the couch so she could take a look at the wound. She couldn’t see it, so she kept touching his head and eventually found the swollen spot. “Wow, I can feel a bulge. It must be hurting.”“It does… a little,” Denver said.Catherine smiled. “Let me give you an instant treatment.”“Instant treatment? Such a thing exists?” Denver queried.Catherine then planted a kiss on the swollen spot. Denver felt it and smiled.She slid into the couch next to him and locked her fingers with him. “You said you’d take an hour, but you came early. What changed your mind? You didn’

CHAPTER 266
The clouds discharged sparks of lightning not toward the ground but onto each other, thereby lighting up the entire sky in Hawk Park.It was daytime, but it looked brighter than day itself as golden white lightning made the clouds and the sky look both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.Almost everybody in Hawk Park felt it. Some ran out of their homes to see this rare phenomenon where not a single drop of rain fell but lightning bolts crisscrossed heaven..Novick, who was playing with a tiny chameleon in his room, looked out through the window. “The clash of kings…”At Golden Tower.Lily was watching the sky from the balcony. “This presence… It seems the one fighting Mickey inside the cube was Denver. He’s catching up to us fast. If he survives today, he will become a force to be reckoned with.”She made a phone call and said, “Serena, the cube is broken. Make sure you kill at least Green Fang or Denver’s girlfriend.”“I was thinking of sneaking in and killing Denver though,”
CHAPTER 265
“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
CHAPTER 264
“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,
CHAPTER 263
“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
CHAPTER 261
“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
CHAPTER 260
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
CHAPTER 258
“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
