Apiu Singh remained frozen in shock for a few moments. Suddenly, he hurried towards Dennis and held his hand, looking at him worriedly, shaking his head disappointedly This was so typical of Dennis. He'd never learn from his mistakesDennis pressed his hand on the floor and stood up. He staggered a little bit but then regained his composureApiu still stared at him in bewilderment, wondering what went through his head. Panicking, his expression changed, shooting Dennis a desperate look for answers "Do you know what you just took?" He askedDennis hesitated a moment, glanced past Apiu, and saw Joey at the entrance of the vault, with a box watching them in confusion. Slowly, he strode past Apiu, grabbed the box from him, and returned to the roomSeeing the puzzled and annoyed gaze on Apiu's face, as he glared at him, Dennis could not help but sighDennis's facial expression changed as he said "Relax, Mr. Singh. This is only just a fail-safe. I'm fine, I just need to make sure that Mr.

Dennis smiled as he uttered softly "Someone you shouldn't have crossed"At this time, Joey snapped out of his shock and rushed towards his gun, but just as he made it there, his eyes settled on a pair of black bootsSlowly lifting his gaze, his eyes settled on Dennis and it seemed like he was staring at the face of the devil himselfBefore Dennis could react, Tim opened another shot. This time Dennis swiftly lifted Joey with one arm, using him as a human shieldThe bullet struck his stomach and the horrifying shock of what he had done, weakened Tim's knees. He immediately dropped to the floor, crawling towards Joey, and groveled at Dennis's feet, visibly terrified.He didn't even try to kill Dennis anymore "Joey, I'm so sorry" he sobbed bitterly"I didn't mean to, it was an accident" the man tried to explain, quickly removing his shirt and pressing it over the bullet wound to stop the blood from flowing outJoey coughed and huffed in pain, spitting out blood from his lips.

"I can feel the energy in the universe, balancing out with my energy" Dennis addedApiu stood up as he spoke "That's right Mr Apollo. The jade Stone is a special one, but there's something else that makes it even more special",Intrigued, Dennis shot him a questioning look"It belonged to the emperor, the first Zuri in the world. That stone does not just allow you to tap into the hidden energy of the universe, but it also directly links you to your ancestry, filling you with their knowledge and power"Dennis glanced at the zirconia jade in his hand again and knew Apiu was not lying. He patted his own chest and replied "I guess I have everything I need to face Rico",At this time, Apiu was concerned with his confidence "Do not underestimate your enemy, Mr Apollo. That is the first step of failing""Tell me how to help" he added quickly "I'm afraid you're going to have to sit this one out Mr Singh, the cowardly bastard asked me to come alone. He has people that are very important to m

Shortly after she escaped and called Dennis, she was caught trying to sneak into the research lab and rescue the other prisonerLuckily she was still needed for the final phase of the experiment and was thus bound and returned to her cellUpon seeing her, Dennis's pupils shrank in pain. He quickly hurried towards her but was blocked by the guards "Give me the vial" Rico sneeredDennis glanced at her and replied "Not until I've confirmed that she is alright, and also seen the other prisoner"Rico sighed heavily and said "Mr Apollo, it seems you have not realized that I can take that vial from you at any time. You are not in any place to be making negotiations, I'll advise you not to tempt me"Dennis swiftly raised his hand, holding the v

"What did you do with the chemical?!" Rico repeated in annoyanceWithout giving Dennis the chance to respond, he thundered "Where is it?!""Somewhere safe" Dennis replied with a taunting smileRico had run out of patients, he turned towards his guards and ordered angrily "Kill them Beat them to death! I'm going to handle Mr Apollo myself, hold him down" Wasting no time, the guards dashed towards Akio and Kuza extending their metal bats, raised them, and swung them at Kuza who at this time, focused her chi and a surge of energy blasted out of her, snapping the straps and freeing her out of its constraintsShe hurriedly got up, rushed towards Akio, and snapped his chains, breaking him free as wellRico was so stunned he did not notice the expression on Dennis's face had changed as he flung the two guards across the room and stood uprightBefore he could even react, Dennis, Akio, and Kuza had beaten up every guard in the room, leaving just Rico standing defenseless in the roomDennis sm

However, just then, Elder Akio put up an energy barrier, blocking their bulletsDennis approached Rico confidently and stopped in front of him "I told you I was going to kill you" he said with an evil glareRico stared at Dennis in disdain and then started laughing menacingly "I admire your confidence Mr Apollo. Do you really think that a simple energy barrier can hold me?" He asked and then started exuding a great outburst of energy, breaking the force in the barrierDennis's eyes widened in shock as he watched Rico break loose. Petrified, the man clenched his fist, and swung his hand across landing a heavy blow on his faceSlowly, he approached Dennis, towering over him as he glared at him. In an impulsive fit, Kuza lunged at him but before she could land a single punch, Rico grabbed him by th

As soon as he saw their energy blending Elder Akio knew without a doubtHis eyes widened in bewilderment and ye started smiling as he approached them"I've been searching for you a very long time," Akio said with all manner of vagueness as Dennis helped Kuza to her feetKuza shot him a puzzling look and then turned to Dennis, thinking the old man was talking to him"Who is he?" She asked curiouslyDennis shot her a warm smile and replied "Someone I believe will answer all the questions you have about yourself",Through their energy exchange, Dennis's jade pendant had fallen on the ground. Noticing it, Kuza bent and as soon as she picked it up, she could feel a completely different vibe from the objectIt wasn't just ordinary, it felt more like her energy and Dennis's were contained in this object, producing a very powerful force, attracting her to itJust then, she felt a powerful surge of energy and a strange cultivation effect on her body, and turned to Dennis in question "What is t

Dennis had a calm expression on his face and he smiled as he replied "Under arrest?" "I don't think you're aware of who I am Officer...?""Brady... Alex Brady""And yes Mr Apollo, I am acutely aware of who you are," Alex said with a blatant tone"Then you must know that you're just wasting your time arresting me," Dennis said smuglyAlex stared at Dennis with a cold expression on his face as he replied "I know the influence and power you wield in this city. All your connections to the Mayor's office, police departments, underground mobs, everything Mr Apollo", At that point Dennis was stunned and the smile on his face slowly disappearedHe realized that Alex was not just an ordinary inspector, the man had done his research and discovered every network he was connected withIt was no wonder he seemed so confident in arresting Dennis. Meanwhile, the other officers surrounded Dennis immediately and Alex shifted his gaze to them "We've been watching you for a long time, Mr Apollo, you'

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
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

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
