Rico glared at Dennis, then turned towards the guards and ordered "Bring them in!"Immediately, four men rushed out of the room and after a few moments returned pushing two stretchersRestricted by a tight leather strap, Kuza was rolled into the room. 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
Taking the bait, Rico sneered at Dennis and dashed towards him, getting trapped in the energy markingsUpon seeing that their master was trapped, the guards cocked their guns and opened fire. 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'
The man widened his eyes and started smiling as soon as he saw Dennis "We finally meet Mr Apollo," the man said, strolling towards DennisHe looked at Dennis with an air of familiarity and through this exchange, Dennis discovered that it seemed the man knew him personally. Also, it seemed as though he knew this old man as well"We're with national security Mr Apollo, and we've been watching you","I'm Victor Frank," the old man said extending his arm for a shakeDennis stared at it reluctantly and frowned as he answered "I have already explained to your colleague that I'm innocent of any crimes he accuses me of"Seeing that Dennis was not willing to shake his hand, the old man dropped his hand embarrassingly and said "Colleague? Alex is my subordinate. I'm the man you should be worried about",Something was different about Victor as Dennis continued staring at him. He did not just seem like an ordinary member of the law enforcement. This was because he was born with a silver spoon in
As they arrived at the local jail, Alex quickly locked him up and then returned to meet with Victor at his office and, reconvene on the plan"Alex, I need you to keep Mr Apollo here for as long as possible. Our contact's asking us to meet tonight at The Lakeside restaurant, if Mr Apollo refuses to cooperate and give up the deeds to his mother's fortune, we're going to take it from him" Victor spoke in a very menacing toneHowever, before Alex could talk, he quickly interrupted him "Mr Brady, whatever you do, do not put your hands on him while he's in custody. We can't give that little brat any edge over us in court, so whatever he says to bait or trigger you in there, just ignore"Victor was getting increasingly annoyed after Dennis called his bluff, and his brows creased as he spokeNobody had dared to offend him before, not so much a pompous brat like Dennis. He knew that the heir to the Apollo fortune had deep ties and connections, but he was undeserving of such wealthAs his thoug
Victor was getting increasingly annoyed and his face flushed red after getting criticised by DeshaunDeshaun walked out, found one of the guards, and signaled to them. On seeing the Mayor, the young officer strode towards him, confused as to why he was there"Mr Mayor," he said and bowed courteously "Where is Mr Apollo being held? I demand his immediate release" Deshaun said sternlyThe young man stuttered in shock. It wasn't his place to release criminals or suspects, but he could not also deny a direct order from the Mayor, especially one concerning such a high-profile man"He...he's at the left wing of the jail sir" he responded immediately, still puzzled"Take me to him!" Deshaun blurted sharplyNot letting up so quickly, the young police officer nervously uttered "I'm sorry Mayor, Mr Apollo is not allowed to have visitors yet","And I'm the Mayor" Deshaun interjected coldly, pursed his lips, and said softly, placing his hand on the officer's shoulder"Let me put this in a way yo
