Willow's high-pitched voice suddenly echoed from the garden area as Dennis and Diana approached the table"Hey...you guys came!" She said excitedlyDennis immediately felt his heart gnawing at his chest at the sight of her"We were beginning to think you had chickened out of dinner," Willow said, swirling the wine cup in her hand, taking slow sips from it"They almost did. I found these two outside getting the business from Steve" Jonah said chuckling lightlyWillow pursed her lips and pouted "Aww you poor thing. I'm so sorry, we forgot to inform Steve that you'd be joining us tonight" Willow said apologetically, however, there was a hint of mischief in her voice"That's okay," Dennis said flatly and pulled out a seat for Diana"Yeah honey, good thing I found them when I did, otherwise we'd have to finish all this food by ourselves" Jonah added teasingly, cracked a peal of dry laughter, leaned towards her, and kissed her slightly"He's such a gentleman, isn't he Diana?" She asked soft

Dennis glared at him and said faintly "I think we both know who's pretending here and we'll see very soon"Willow laughed contemptuously "Okay, Mr. Apollo. God, I can't stand it with this pretentious bastard. You actually think that you're someone of importance, Diana I almost feel bad for you. Must be difficult living with a man whose ego is so high up there, that he'd delude himself into thinking he's someone"She felt confident that compared to her husband, Dennis was no one. Jonah had recently been appointed as the general manager of Belavul.Although his appointment was not yet made public, most prominent people in the city knew him to be the heir to his grandfather's hotel, but what they were not aware of, was the steep market decline the hotel was suffering fromShe then turned to her husband and said flatly "Dear, I think we made a mistake inviting Dennis here. With such attitude, he's set in his ways","You're right dear, there's not much that I can do to help him. Mr Apollo

When Dennis stood up, claiming he was the owner of the car, Jonah's face turned as red and infuriated as it could get, but he managed to suppress his angerThe entire dining room gasped in shock, bewildered that someone bought the newest edition twelve million dollar car"Wait, is that Dennis Apollo" one lady uttered, quickly pulled out her phone, went on the internet, and looked up his name"Yes yes, that's him. I know I recognized him from somewhere, he's the Director of Duncan Pharmaceuticals right?" A man in a smart suit asked "Yes, that's right. He's so awesome and can even afford the Rolls Royce Sulinan""That is the most expensive Rolls Royce series. I wonder how much he makes per month""You own the Rolls Royce Sulinan?" Jonah asked in disbeliefDennis seemed unmoved by their praises and said "Oh that. It's just a small gift I gave myself. It's nice but I think I prefer the old model. This is just for my daily commute""I see you're a Rolls Royce owner as well. What model is
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Chapter 141
Jonah frowned and asked, "What information?"Dennis uttered loudly "I understand the reason you couldn't buy the Rolls Royce is because you're family business is going under the dumps, and you're losing a lot of revenue"Jonah called Dennis's bluff. There was no way anyone here knew his family owned the hotel"You must be mistaken Mr Apollo," Jonah said with a smug faceDennis smirked mischievously and said "Isn't that why you threatened these people that you'd have them kicked out? Your family owns this hotel, don't they?"Jonah's face turned pale, her eyes wide and mouth agape in extreme shock. He could not figure out how Dennis knew that. His family had always kept their ownership of the hotel a secretHe couldn't help it when he uttered shockingly "Ho-how do you know that?" Dennis smiled, walked closer leaned to his ear, and whispered "Cause I just bought the hotel"Judging by the look on Dennis's face, Jonah could not believe him. He knew that the family hotel was struggling, bu

Seeing Jonah bow at his foot, Dennis grinned contemptuously. The guests exchanged curious glances with each other After taking a call, Jonah suddenly knelt in front of the mysterious man. What was going on?Never did they expect that a lowly nobody would have so much power in his hands to make a high-profile man like Jonah bow before himDennis shook his head and said "Jonah Blake, you looked down and treated me like I was trash when you didn't know who I was, now you're at my feet begging me to forgive you?","I'm sorry. I'm sorry Mr Apollo, please forgive me. I didn't mean to insult you, sir. Please just don't fire me. This job is all I have" Jonah pleaded and crouched on the floor, completely stunnedHe didn't dare to resist Dennis's acts to embarrass him. Just then, Diana approached him softly and stared sympathetically at Jonah, Tsk tsk! "Funny how the tables have turned Mr Blake. You invited us here because you thought you could shame and belittle us, but now you're the one o

Dennis understood clearly the subtle message from Diana. She had asked him to choose her over Kuza. He couldn't tell exactly why, but he felt at an impasse now. He knew he'd have to break Diana's heart, but was now hoping he wouldn't have toHe parked his car a few meters from the abandoned bowling building where he was supposed to meet Graham's lawyer and staked out the building for some momentsAt the entrance, we're two guards armed with pistols'This can't be all' Dennis muttered to himself as he stepped out of the car with the luggage and slowly approached the building raising his hands in surrender "Stop!" A male voice echoed in his ears as he got closer"State your business here", he asked but then his colleague tugged his hand gently and pointed to the small screen in his hand"That's him," he said flatly and then turned to Dennis with a staunch expression"Follow me"Dennis smirked, gave a hum, and followed them inside the building. The entire space was vast with ruptured bo

Dennis leaned back on his chair let out a tired sigh, and tried persuasion again"I understand your frustration and why you want to do this, but Mr John, why don't you let me handle this for you, I can get you an increase in your pay. You don't have to work for these men",Judging by his motives, Dennis realized that John's ambitiousness was not fueled with hatred, he only decided to work with Graham for the promise of a higher pay. If he could convince him that he could get Lord Duncan to increase his pay, he was confident he'd be able to persuade John"Think about it John, you're just a disposable tool to these men. Take my offer" Dennis added with a kind and gentle lookHowever, John was annoyed by Dennis's goodwill remark. He snorted in disdain and said "Quit with your bullshit, you're just desperate because I hold all the cards. It's too late Mr Apollo, I'm finally where I'm appreciated and I'm going to make sure you and that old bastard pay",Dennis was disappointed by his remar

Lord Duncan stared at him quizzically, "Is everything okay, Mr Apollo?" He askedDennis smiled warmly and said "Yes Mr Duncan. Remember the plan we had? Well, I just received some new information and this document will help get our friends in Druick Pharmaceuticals off our back",Lord Duncan smiled satisfactorily, picked up a pen, and signedJohn was stunned by his reaction. Partly, he expected the old Lord to growl at Dennis after viewing the contents of the documentAt that point, he tugged Dennis's arm and cleared his throat Dennis sighed and said hesitantly and pointed "Mr Duncan, John here gets credit for this, and I believe he should be rewarded, don't you think?" Lord Duncan glanced at John and couldn't help but be impressed, he suddenly asked "What do you want John?"John froze instantly overwhelmed by the question, subconsciously he knew he did not deserve the accolades or any form of compensation, not after what he almost did. He opened his mouth to speak but could not fin

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
Chapter 198
Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. 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. Deshaun reached into his coat pocket and br

"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
Chapter 193
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

When they finally approached the Mariner, Dennis parked the car and instructed Sloane to go home. There was no need to endanger her lifeWithout any arguments, Sandra did as she was instructed and got into a can heading back to her apartmentAs soon as Dennis parked the car, a call entered his phone immediately. 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. After years of hiding behind you
