The Mysterious Son-In-Law The memory reel
After a few rings, Ivan answered the call.Margaret spoke nervously, "Hello, is this Ivan?""Who wants to know?" A man's hoarse voice came from the other end"I'm Margaret, I hired you last time to deal with that worker. Remember?" She asked nervously "What do you want?" Ivan asked impatiently"Well, I need your help again to deal with another person. My daughter's ex-husband has been recently appointed to a new position in the company as the CEO. And since then, he's been making my life miserable. I want him to pay, so I need you to find him and teach him a lesson, beat him up real good and find some dirt on him. Something I could use to blackmail him into getting everything he has stolen from us back. I'll pay double.", Margaret instructedThere was a long pause of silence before Ivan finally spoke and said "Okay, what's his name?","Dennis. Dennis Apollo" Margaret announced and there was another long pause before Ivan said confidently"Consider it done".Ivan was delighted to he
The Mysterious Son-In-Law My First Time
Dennis glanced at Kuza with great obsessiveness, his eyes full of tenderness. Their kiss made him see that Kuza was truly the one he had waited for all these years as the flashes became clearer, and now she was standing in front of him. There was no way he'd let her go."Who are you?!" Kuza asked again in an enraged tone, glaring at himAt this time, Dennis wondered if she should just tell her the truth. There was no way he could lie to her about the visions. The elevator dinged open at that time, and he extended his arm to her"I'll answer all your questions, but first I need you to trust me," Dennis said flatly with a tenderness in his eyesKuza felt reluctant to take his hand at first, but after a quick thought, reached out and held it, following him out of the elevator.They headed to their room and after she unlocked the doors and went inside, Dennis walked directly to the windows and peered outside."What are you looking for?" Kuza said with a frown on her face. She suddenly re
The Mysterious Son-In-Law We can find him
"What exactly am I, Dennis?" She asked slouching into the couch in confusion. At this time, she was struggling to accept what Dennis was telling her about herself. It all seemed like an episode of a bad dreamDennis heaved a tired sigh and moved closer to her, slowly he kept his hands around her shoulders and said, "You're something different Kuza. You're an Orca, you're not exactly a Gifted.","We are more like servants of nature. We manipulate the elements of the universe, learning and studying the flow of it to control the natural flow of the universe.","That's why I can make water flow out of a cup, or the wind blow your hair," Dennis said and swung his hand in her direction. A gush of wind suddenly swung her hair, still Kuza was irate, as it suddenly occurred to her, that Dennis had known what she was all along and never said anything.Suddenly, her brows started to crease into a frown, she jerked up from his side and stood in front of him, glaring "You knew all this time?!",D
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Assault
As soon as Dennis ended the call, he heard the voice of a woman yelling at a man and her footsteps thudding on the ground, following him hastily.Suddenly, it stopped and there was a loud thump on the floor. Immediately, she dropped to the ground, Dennis could register the voice as that of the receptionist from earlier that night.His brain instantly processed that Ivan had done something to her, most probably the same hypnotic trance Dennis placed on Mark. There was a certain level of mastery that came with knowing how to do that. One would have to have mastered the first four levels of Chi to possess that skill. If Ivan had placed the receptionist under Hynos, then Dennis would have been wrong to underestimate him.In reality, the Aborgonals and Gifted had the same powers which they grew by practicing different forms of Chi manipulation. However, no matter how strong Ivan was, he was no match for Dennis.Boldly, Dennis strode into the front lounge of the hotel and saw Ivan hauling
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Understanding Herself
Kuza was pacing in her apartment when she heard a knock on her door and her heart lept in fear instantly Hurriedly, she asked, "Who's there?" Holding a baton in her right hand. And then yelled in a quick breath "I'm armed!" At that point, Ruelle turned to Dennis outside the door and said "She's feisty. I can see why you like her". Dennis sighed dejectedly and said "Kuza it's me, open up", turned his gaze towards Ruelle and said "Be nice" Ruelle scowled at him as the door opened, revealing Kuza on the other side. She looked frantic, trembling in fear and immediately she saw Dennis, she lunged at him in relief"What happened?" She asked quickly after withdrawing from the hug"Who was that man? What did he want?" Her mind was running and for a moment she was completely oblivious to the woman standing by the door of her apartment "I'm fine," Dennis said reassuringly and then turned towards Ruelle"There's someone I'd like you to meet. She's a friend and she can help you better unders
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Selfish Intentions
Dennis was in the kitchen, still pondering on what to do about Ivan. He knew Ruelle's bodyguards would not be able to torture the information he needed out of him.From their sparring, he could tell Ivan was strong-willed and would not easily betray his boss.However, he knew that this was just the first of many moves Rico would make. If he was going to win this battle, he would have to take back control of his mother's empire, and now he had the means to.Ruelle leaned by the door with her arms crossed above her chest. She stared at Dennis quizzically and then marched towards him."She's asleep now," Ruelle said casually, and then asked with a flattering smile "So that's Kuza huh?",Dennis glanced at her and then nodded casually,Ruelle sat on the couch and asked "Does she know?", "No. And I think it's best she doesn't yet", Dennis replied sharply with strong conviction.Looking at Dennis's displeased expression, Ruelle shifted closer on the couch and crossed her legs, then said"Do

Sasha was taken aback in shock by her mother's statement. She remained fixated in place with a blank look on her face, unable to find the words to say anythingMargaret assumed her daughter would be over the moon when she heard the news, but the look on Sasha's face made her drop her arms on her hips, staring at her quizzically"Mom, what do you mean I'm getting married in three weeks?" Sasha asked astonishedMargaret who was in an ecstatic mode earlier, suddenly frowned at her daughter's attitude towards the news"What? I thought you'd be happy. You finally get to marry a man of high profile, a man that suits you" Margaret said, looking at her shocked daughter.Sasha snorted indifferently and said, "So you thought making wedding plans without me to a man I haven't spoken to in years was a wise idea?" "Yes!" Margaret retorted"I don't get what the big deal is. You know one would think you would be thanking me, but you're just so ungrateful!" Margaret yelled. She had hoped that this t

Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?" He sne

Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis.

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

Dennis felt slightly dejected staring at Jon's corpse on the ground. The last few minutes seemed like a blur with a vague recollection of what had happenedHesitantly, he moved closer to Jon's body and noticed a sharp piercing through his head. Dennis raised his hands and searched for any weapons he could have used to do thisAt this point, his heart strangely felt heavy. He knew he had killed Jon, but why was he suddenly feeling remorse for him?Just as he sighed, disheartened, his phone suddenly rang and Dennis retrieved the phone from his pocket to see that it was from DeshaunDennis didn't want to pick up the call as he stared at Deshaun's name on the screen. He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you

Glancing at Deshaun, he hesitantly answered it"Hello nephew", Jon's deep voice sounded over the microphone"I heard you've been looking for me", he said teasinglyA deep wrinkled frown immediately formed on Dennis's forehead as he spoke "What do you want you old bastard?",Jon chuckled as he asked him in a mysterious manner "Isn't it obvious at this point, I'm not here to negotiate anything with you. I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now.
