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

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.

Logan screamed out in pain and his men hurriedly cocked their guns. Dennis swiftly carried the knife on the table and held it against his throat"Sshh shh" he hushed Logan"Don't embarrass yourself in front of your men"At this time Dennis's underlings withdrew their weapons, aiming their guns at Logan's men at a face-off. The other guests whimpered and cried, trembling in fear, silently praying that Logan did not do anything to offend Dennis further. The man seemed like a very influential man and would burn the place down just to teach Logan a lessonWatching the blood drip out of his palms, Logan bit down his lip in agonizing pain, breathing heavily and glaring furiously at Dennis, who casually walked around him, flipping the knife like a hired assassin.Dennis sucked his teeth, tsk tsk!

Dennis tossed his phone aside after the call and sprawled out on the bed. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for some moments, head up to the ceilingAfter a few moments, he pulled the pendant out of his neck and fiddled with it, focusing his Chi on the object"The deeds are in the pendant" his mother's words replayed in his mindWhat did she mean? Was the pendant some sort of key? He understood that the pendant opened the safe, but could it be possible that his mother also hid the deeds to the family's fortune and business in that safe as well?Confused, Dennis couldn't help but wonder what he would do after opening the safe. He was certain that as he opened the vault, it would bring its own enemies, even if he was able to defeat Rico and Graham.However, his curiosity had gotten the best of him. Damn the consequences, he was going to do whatever it took to open that vaultSuddenly, it was as if a light bulb had lit up in Dennis's mind. There was one way to find out why the Ru

That morning Ruelle arrived at Apiu's door, taking the man by surprise. As soon as Apiu stepped out of the lakehouse, she approached him extending her hand for a shake "Mr Singh?" Apiu glanced at her, confused, and kept walking toward his car"I know you don't know who I am, I'm a friend of Mr Apollo. He said you're the one I should see for reinforcements",Apiu nodded and sighed "Ms Ruelle, is it?""Yes","Take this card and go to this address. When you get there, ask for Dave, he's my head of security, and he'll provide you with the necessary security details you need for your endeavors" Then he paused abruptly "I don't know what Mr Apollo told you, but my boys are not hired thugs and I don't particularly like the idea of endangering them. I warned your master to refrain from this violence, but when that boy has his head on something, it's almost impossible to change his mind, just like his mother. I made her a promise you see, that I will look after her son, so now I need you

She waited a few minutes without a response, sighed, and was about to put the phone back in her pocket when suddenly a call entered her phone Staring at the screen for moments and seeing it was Dennis, she contemplated whether to answer it or not. This was something she and Elder Akio thought Dennis was not ready to knowThe truth was, he was not just a Gifted, Dennis Apollo was one of the rare Chi manipulators called the Zuri. Just like Orcas, they were eliminated from nature because of their unnatural control of the Chi of other GiftedsThe Zuri were said to have enslaved the Gifted during the old days, bending them to their will, which at the time was to dominate the Orcas, for display of powerBut when a Zuri fell in love with an Orca, their Chi combined caused a catastrophic energy effect that destroyed everything in its path, if the Zuri allowed his Chi to be influenced by the negative energy of the Orca.Some said this was nature's last loophole to make sure that the Zuris and

As Ruelle dashed out of the room, hurrying to the laundry room with Lord Duncan and Yura, she met Graham with a team of security by his side.When he saw them, he chuckled sinisterly "Going somewhere?" "Come on, you didn't expect it to be that easy. Did you?"Before Ruelle could say anything, Graham cut in "We saw your every movement miss. I must say, how you scaled up the wall was quite impressive, but if you think you're going anywhere with my hostages, then it's stupid of you to have come up here"Ruelle stared at him with apprehension, extended her arm in front of Lord Duncan,"I'll advise you to let us go. You don't want any problems with me" she said then glanced at the cast wrapped around his arm, and teased"Seems like you've got enough of that already"Upon hearing her words, Graham felt more agitated, shot her an icy glare, and scoffed"You're that assistant right? Yes yes" he snapped his fingers walking around"I recognize you. You worked for Rico, didn't you?" And then hi

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

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

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

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.
