The sales agent immediately seemed terrified and pointed at Dennis. She felt for sure that her boss was going to scold her and tried to avert the blame on Dennis instead"Sorry ma, but this man came in here asking for Michael Kors collection. I tried to tell him to scramble that he couldn't afford the necklace but he kept insisting", she explained, but before she could continue further, Lydia interjected and chided rudely"Are you telling me that this loser can afford a Michael Kors suit? Are you blind? Do you really think that a man like this has eight million dollars? If you're blind, tell me now so I can fire you from this store right this instant"From her observation, Lydia concluded that Dennis was just a poor loser who could not afford even some thousand-dollar clothes from the casual attire sectionShe turned her gaze towards Dennis and sneered in disdain "If you're here to cause trouble please leave the store, otherwise you can apologize to my employee and she can show you to

Lydia was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact, but it had unfolded right in front of her eyesWho was this man really? What was his real background? How could he make the Mayor bow before him like a lowly peasant?In a shocked daze, Lydia mumbled "How, how is this possible?",Everyone else was just as confused and took out their phones to capture the scene, but Deshaun's bodyguards immediately cleared the scene, giving them only a view of Dennis's backDennis smirked, then turned to Lydia and said "You mentioned you've never seen that much cash before, take a good look at it now","Yes, I see it. I see it now..." Jane muttered defeatedly "Do you remember our deal, Ms Green?" Dennis suddenly askedLydia's face twitched in dismay when Dennis brought it up. She didn't think that under no circumstances would he have the eight million dollarsAfter hesitating for some moments, she then nodded gently "Yes, I remember" She was hoping that Dennis would not hold a grudge against h

Dennis glanced at her coldly and said "Are you surprised Lydia? You didn't think that a poor nobody like me could be the heir to the Apollo family fortune did you?" "Mr Apollo, please forgive me. I was out of my mind just now, please. It's all because of my filthy mouth, I did not mean to offend you sir" she said and quickly dropped to the ground, crawled towards Dennis, and bowed vigorously "Please, forgive me, sir"Dennis remained quiet for a while, then snorted in dismay "Lydia Green. Why exactly should I forgive you now? We had a bet, didn't we? No amount of begging can change my mind now",Lydia suddenly grabbed his feet, wailing loudly "Please, let's call it even. See, I'm kneeling now, let's just let bygones be bygones. I will even offer any collection from the luxury store, it's on the house" Deshaun was about to speak when Dennis raised his hand and signaled him to stop"Any collection?" He repeated sneering at her"Yes Mr Apollo, anything you want from the luxury store. I

Immediately Deshaun's bodyguards hurriedly apprehended her, pinning her hands behind her backDeshaun approached her furiously and without any hesitation whatsoever, swung his arm across and landed her a hard slap"You dare attack Mr Apollo?! Are you insane?"Lydia was so intimidated, realising what she had done that she started apologising Immediately "I'm so sorry, please. I don't know what came over me, I never would attack Mr. Apollo",When Dennis saw how frightened she was, he took a few steps forward and walked towards herLydia stared at him in horror as she continued backing away, and then suddenly dropped on the floor again, "Please spare me, Mr Apollo. Please reconsider, I'll do anything to keep my job",But before she could continue, Deshaun marched towards her and kicked her angrily "B*tch who gave you the authority to ask anything of Mr Apollo. You must really want to die""Anything?" Dennis asked arching his eyebrow"Yes, yes. I'll do anything" Lydia answered frantically

"I'm not going anywhere," Deshaun said firmlyDennis frowned slightly and blurted angrily "Stop being difficult and just walk away Deshaun!""And what?!" Deshaun yelled back"Leave you to deal with all these alone?" He asked and scoffed lightly"Dennis Apollo, you haven't changed a bit. You're still the first one to rush into a fire to save everyone, but you don't want anyone saving you"As he spoke, Dennis's pupil shrank in astonishment and his face softenedDeshaun curled his lips into a soft smile and said "You said that you've endangered so many lives, and because of you they're forced into hiding. But has it ever occurred to you the lives you've saved and that you didn't force any of these people to stick up for you?",Dennis remained silent. Deshaun's words made him reflect on Apiu's unquestionable loyalty. He had expected that the man was doing so because of his mother, and never did he stop to imagine that he could be the reason Apiu, Ruelle, Lord Duncan, and everyone else wou

Dennis frowned at the contexts of the text messages, turned towards Deshaun, and said "I think we can all tell it's a trap" "Nevertheless, we have to go, don't we?" Deshaun replied flatly"Then I guess we have to prepare some gifts for my uncle. We can't go empty-handed", Dennis said"What do you suggest?" Deshaun immediately asked "I think something fitting for the occasion. My uncle loves luxury, he loves to show off. So we are going to be the loudest people in there. That way we are noticed by a lot of people at the party just in case Uncle Jon wants to try anything funnyAnd at the end of the night, we'll be generous enough to give Mr Lawson an antique vase" Dennis said "What about the girl? Isn't she going to be a problem?", Deshaun suddenly asked "I have plans concerning Ms Finley. When we get to the party, I want you to be on the lookout for Victor and his security detail. I will handle Ms Finley. I think it's high time we get reacquainted with each other" As he spoke, a co

Julia was dumbstruckShe never would have imagined in a hundred years that the Shchitzu Vase would transform into something much more valuable after being restored by clayImmediately she pointed to Dennis and said "Ma this is the man who restored the vase",Sandra slowly shifted her scornful gaze towards Dennis, but when she saw him, she was stunnedHe wasn't anything like what she imagined him to be. Usually, the people she knew who could restore items were grey and old, but as she glanced at Dennis, she couldn't help but wonder how such a young man could know such an ancient restoration techniqueDespite her doubt and questions, she managed a wry smile, extended her hand for a shake, and said "Hi, I'm Sandra Roberts. May I know to whom I owe my thanks? And how it is possible for him to recreate such an ancient restoration piece? If possible, who he learnt the ancient technique from?",When she mentioned her name again, Deshaun raised his hand and patted his forehead "Of course! The

Sandra Roberts was known to be a despicable woman who instilled fear in everyone who came in contact with herHowever, despite her cruelty and ice Queen status, one man proved stubborn and dismissive of her influence and power. This man was Zion Walker, the mob boss of the Fifth Avenue neighborhoodDue to the city's lack of interest in the Fifth Avenue ward, leading to the outbreak in crime amongst the occupants of the neighborhood, each major business that operated there was affected, from cases of arson to burglary, daylight robbery, petty thefts and more, making it generally unsafe for the customers in the heart of the city who occasionally shopped thereAs a result of this, some businesses closed down due to lack of patronage, while most suffered a major decline in revenue generationThat was until a few months ago, Zion Walker decided to capitalize on this eventuality and make himself a rich man, by offering protection to the stores, customers, and shop owners for a protection fe

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

When they finally approached the Mariner, Dennis parked the car and instructed Sloane to go home. 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
