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

Dennis smiled and shook hands with her, "I look forward to our collaboration" he said softlyAfter shaking hands with her, Dennis and Deshaun got up to leave, but Sandra immediately called him before he walked out of her office "Mr Apollo!",Dennis turned slowly towards her. Sandra gave him a gentle and sweet smile as she said "What do you know about the Schitzu vase?"Dennis smiled politely and responded "Not a lot. I know the vase belonged to an Emperor in the Kang dynasty and was rumoured to be lost somewhere between Asia and Europe",Sandra couldn't help but gape in marvel when she heard Dennis's response. Just as she expected, this man was not aware of what he was acquiring If she had any Cultivation skills of herself, she never would sell this item. But Dennis seemed like a good man, so she wasn't generally concerned with what he had planned to do with the vase. However, she still felt the need to warn him of its powerWith that flowing in her mind, she pressed her hand agains

Outside the store, as soon as Dennis got into the car, Deshaun began to brief him "Dennis, I heard there'll be an auction at the party, and there's quite the competition. This isn't just a typical ball, your uncle is using it as a private auction to acquire some rare antique itemsOne of the items in the auction is the Vilga necklace. I've heard that quite a few people from the city are going to be bidding for this item as well"Dennis sat quietly in the car's passenger seat, caressing his beard deep in thought. What was his uncle planning? The man could not just be trying to expand his antique collection. He must have been looking for somethingCould it be? He pondered and then immediately dismissed the thought Certainly, this auction was just a means to acquire something, but what else could he want if he already had connections and ties with several factions in this city and could find whatever antique piece he was looking forStruggling to arrive at a conclusion, he nodded and sa

After they reached Deshaun's apartment, Dennis got out of the car and looked around the placeDeshaun's pad was as typical as a bachelor's could be. Without wasting time, Deshaun walked towards the fridge, brought out a bottle of water, tossed it to Dennis, and immediately headed to his room"Will be out in a few",Dennis took several gulps from the bottle and quickly changed into the Michael Kors suitShortly after dressing up, they headed off to pick up SandraUpon reaching her house, Dennis rang on the doorbell, and shortly after Sandra emerged wearing a black maxi dressWhen Dennis saw her, his eyes were glued to her and he reflexively muttered "Wow!",A look of awkwardness flashed across Sandra's face, but she nodded at Dennis and said "Thank you""I tried my best. You clean up nice yourself" she said, flattering DennisDennis smiled and extended his hand courteously "Are you ready?","Let's do this" Sandra replied, taking Dennis's handAfter some minutes of driving, they finally

The fat man glanced at Graham before placing a small wooden box on the table. Inside the box was a porcelain horn with a red dragon imprinted on the body of the horn, seemingly an ancient war horn. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present felt as though the hall had been filled with a hint of warm energy, and their eyes lit upSandra turned to Dennis and said "That's the ancient necromancer horn that the Druids, war servants of the emperor used to summon unnatural battle forcesThe market value for such a powerful relic today should be in the millions. It's definitely going to be worth at least fifteen million"Deshaun felt odd witnessing this auction. The world of powerful relics, restoration, and everything in between was new to him. He could not imagine what set of people would want to own a relic so dangerous, but then again, these were the same people who didn't care about the masses and considered themselves gods, just because they had moneyDennis glanced at her and mut

Dennis glanced at Graham and chuckled"You brat!" Graham yelled and stood up in annoyance"You're fucking dead!" He raged, marching towards DennisThe crowd gasped at the outburst, and a slight uproar happened in the hall as the security guards hurriedly grabbed him, pinning his hands behind his back"Mr Finley, compose yourself!" The fat man yelled "You're just a youngster, how dare you interrupt such an honorable event?" Michael Xavier, the old man sitting next to Travis glowered"You know the rules Mr. Finley", the fat man said disappointedlyOverwhelmed with spiteful emotions, Graham flared up "He played me. He's a con, get him out of here!" He yelled and the entire crowd gasped in shock again"Quiet!" Michael thundered"Don't you understand the rules of auction? As long as you're the highest bidder and no one contests your bid, you're automatically the winner of that auction. Besides I don't see what you have to complain about, you won an authentic Fellal necklace","Listen to h

"It's real" Sandra confirmedRight at this moment, the fat man announced "Ladies and gentlemen, we have the Vigla. This is an item that most of you are familiar withThis relic dates back further than the Kang dynasty. Emperor Schitzu himself was said to have once worn this mask in battle and snuck into the enemy's camp in the pretense of being their general", he said then paused dramatically and smiled"However, no one could tell it was him. What everyone saw was their general Zing" As he said this, the entire audience gasped in awe and started murmuring amongst themselves"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this item is one of our most-priced items in the collection. Having the power to transform into anything, is just one of its many potential and benefitsThe mask not only allows you to change your appearance to that of anyone at will, but it also allows you to control the minds of peopleLadies and gentlemen, this is not just an ordinary item, this piece is worth every dime and penny of

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
Chapter 198
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

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
