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
The video on the screen showed Diana bound with clothing, tied to a chair with several bruises and a beat-up face. However, this was an illusion. Before Dennis left, he knew he had to make Diana's capture believable and used one of the seven chi energies, hynos to cast a believable illusion on Diana, that way anyone who looked at her would see her body covered in bruises, and punch woundsGraham couldn't bear to watch his sister like that any longer and growled at Dennis "What the hell did you do?",Seeing his reaction, a mischievous smirk appeared across Dennis's face, he was right afterall, underneath that cold brute exterior, Graham cared for his sister just as much as he thought"She's safe for now" Dennis snorted indifferently "But if you don't hand over Kuza, I can't guarantee just how safe she'll remain," Dennis said with a vicious glareGraham stared at Dennis coldly. He felt backed into a hole. On one hand, he couldn't let his sister be tortured, on the other if he handed o
Right after signing his signature, Graham received a call from his uncle, Logan Graham refused to answer, not in front of Dennis. This brat had defeated him at every turn, and he could not have him knowing another one of their secrets. It was rather infuriatingOn that note, he stood up and said "We're done here Mr Apollo. I have some other business to attend to", reached into his coat pocket and brought out a piece of paper.Graham's face was pale as a sheet of paper as he wrote down Kuza's address and slid it to himHe did not like being intimidated. Yet, someone since their college days, Dennis had bested him, despite being a miserable and poor loser, and now he dared lay hands on his sister. He was certainly digging his grave. "You'll find her there", he said gritting his teethA taunting smile appeared on Dennis's face as he picked up the paper, raised it, and flipped it in the air "I'll be seeing you, Mr. Finley, you'll have your sister back within the hour" Graham sucked hi
Kuza awoke with a throbbing headache searching around her environment again. As she tried to move, she realized she was still bound to the metal chair and all attempts at escaping were futileSuddenly, she recalled part of Ruelle's training. It was possible to break out of this if she could activate her Chi by self-willShe squinted her eyes and searched the dimly lit room for a telephone, and finally spotted one by the door.Calculating the distance between the door and the chair she was bound to, she surmised that dragging the jagged metal chair across the room would raise alarm, and needed to find a way to break free quietly"Okay Kuza, you can do this. What did Ruelle say? 'Disconnect with your chaos, feel the air as it connects with your skin. The beams of light as they travel across the room, as you focus your mind on the only thing that matters at the moment, yourself.When you feel that energy coursing through your body, allow it to engulf you. That is your Chi you are feeling
The Archives that Dennis asked to see were an old dusty library his mother owned, filled with different healing books, and itemsWhen Dennis heard what the pendant he'd been wearing around his neck unlocks. He knew it was time to visit his mother's time box and face some truth he'd always tried to escape from. Apiu Singh delivered a keycard with a code written on the back, which made Dennis more curious. It seemed his mother held a lot of secrets, all of which only made him more curious about the things she knew and had to hide.When he arrived in the Archive room, he walked around the aisles, running his fingers through the dusty piles of ancient books, varying from bonesetting to acupuncture, almost everything that Elder Akio had taught himIn the corner left section of the room, he found an old picture of her and his heart sank as he picked it up. The more he looked at the picture, the more he became irritated, and without any control, his Chi activated and a gush of wind blasted
Dennis picked up his phone and quickly texted Apiu RE: [I found it. I'll meet you at the Lakehouse, it's time for us to act]And with a confident smile on his face, he walked towards the door, opened it, and headed to his carShortly after he entered his car, his phone chimed up again and a message entered from ApiuRE: [Alright Mr. Apollo. Tell me will you be needing reinforcements?]RE: [Not necessarily, I have something Mr Finley wants, something I'm sure he won't dare to hurt]Dennis shoved his phone back into his pocket and drove towards the lake house. A few minutes after he arrived, a call suddenly entered his phone. "Mr Apollo, I'm just calling to remind you of our agreement. If my sister is not returned by the end of the day today, there will be consequences to pay" Graham threatenedDennis replied instantly with a certain cockiness in his voice "Mr Finley, I don't think you're in a position to be making threats at the moment. I said I'll see you at dinner and then you'll h
Looking at Graham who was now panicking, Logan said in a cold tone "What's wrong nephew? You look like you piss yourself",Compared to Graham's father, Logan was the black sheep of the family. At age 19, he was charged with a murder count, but because of how established and connected his family was, he managed to escape prison time.Due to his violent ways and frequent encounters with the law, he could not be allowed to be the head of the family, as such when his nephew Graham was appointed as the family head, naturally, Logan held a grudgeHe was later appointed as the general manager of the Coalition organization by Graham's father, to avoid any enmity between him and Graham. However, now that he had been fired, there was only one person he could hold accountable for his situation. Surprisingly, it wasn't himself,"Your father promised me immunity at the Coalition organization," Logan said turning and swirling his wine cup slowlyHe gently raised it and perceived the sweet aroma of
Dennis approached Logan with a bold look on his face. He suddenly stopped beside Graham and shot him a taunting smirk "I could've warned you, but it's better you found out yourself",Logan stared at Dennis, slightly puzzled. Who was this man that dared interrupt him? Did he not know who he was? "Who the hell are you?" He blurted angrilyDennis patted Graham on the shoulder, turned to Logan, and bowed respectfully.Upon seeing Dennis's respectful attitude towards Logan, Graham was conflicted. He started to wonder whether Dennis was in cohorts with his uncle the whole time, but his doubts were cleared when his uncle suddenly asked "Who are you?" Dennis smiled, raised his gaze to the man, and said "I'm the reason you're here",Confused by his reply, Logan immediately became enraged. He felt this was another loser trying to waste his time and decided to teach him a lesson as wellHe turned his gaze towards his underlings and growled, "Bring him to me. I'll deal with this one myself"A
