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
