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
When Alex heard what Dennis had said about the Governor's daughter, Celine, he sneered as he shook his head in disdainWhat did that bastard mean saying it was all Celine's plan?He pondered deeply, without getting any answers"Hey, what do you mean?" He asked forcefully grabbing Dennis's handDennis smiled as he turned, he knew mentioning Celine would trigger Alex, and even show him how little he is compared to him "Celine never loved you. You lost your job and threw your life away for nothing. You think you met her first so she was yours, but the truth is I've known her longer than you Alex, and you were just a game" he said without any regard for Alex's feelings.Alex immediately got angry and said "Mr Apollo. I knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you'd be delusional as well. Do you really expect me to believe such nonsensical lies? Or are those just what you tell your twisted mind so you can pretend as if what you did to me didn't ruin my life? Celine would never play me?"Hi
Dennis's uncle, Jon Apollo walked into his office that afternoon and his secretary rushed toward him immediately"Welcome sir, there's someone waiting for you in your office," she said worriedlyAs soon as she spoke, Jon immediately stopped and turned toward her, glaring at her"What do you mean someone's waiting for me in my office?" Jon asked with confusion on his face The young assistant was so frightened that she responded immediately "I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop him but sir, he was the Mayor" she announced still in shockAs soon as he heard those words, Jon's face turned green before a smirk casually appeared on his face "Deshaun" he muttered, turned to his assistant, and said"Shift my appointment with Mr Lawson. Tell him the Mayor came visiting",The girl nodded although seeming confused, "Alright sir, I'll give him a call right away"Jon smiled coyly, rubbed his palms in anticipation, and then strode toward his officeThis was not far from what he expected. He knew it was
After he met with Jon, Deshaun spotted Victor by the elevator as he was leaving. Uncertain that it was him, he squinted his eyes staring at the manAt the moment, Victor had his arm open wide waiting for an embrace and Deshaun stared keenlyHe saw an elegant lady wearing an expensive Chanel, with a wide grin plastered on her face approach Victor and then hug himFrom the distance, Deshaun tried his hardest to make out who she was. He knew every major person in this city, but somehow he could not recognize this womanDeciding to find out for himself, he composed himself and walked towards and greeted them warmly Victor gritted his teeth in dismay when he saw Deshaun, wondering what the man was doing here"Mr Mayor, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were following me. We need to stop running into each other like this" Victor sneeredDeshaun smiled upon his remark and extended his arm to the radiant and beautiful lady in front of him, completely ignoring Victor, which only made the
