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 Chi

"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his ears

Dennis 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

    "If you have no objections, just sign here", Dennis' mother-in-law said mockingly, sliding the divorce papers on the table before him.He frowned, tired of the grusome torture he called marriage, but still, he loved his wife dearly,"What are you asking me to sign, mother-in-law?" He asked; Margaret snapped, "Have I not warned you never to call me your mother-in-law again?!" She yelled and landed a slap on Dennis' face,"Now you will sign these divorce papers and free my daughter from being with a weak, pathetic loser like you, or else, your life will be more pathetic than it already is", Margaret mocked and warned him sternly, Margaret Luther was a woman who prided herself in wealth and status, and her daughter being married to a low life like Dennis was greatly unsettling."I'm glad my daughter is finally done with you" she mocked.Dennis felt disappointed.

When Sasha found out she was missing her money, she told her family, and Jack immediately accused Dennis of stealing the money. Jack stood across the room staring furiously at Dennis, and then his eyes averted to Yura at the corner of the room. When he saw her, he whistled and cat called "Damn sugar! Can I get your number, baby?" he said, slowly approaching Yura. She slowly backed away, moving closer to Dennis; she was fully aware of her beauty, with black graceful hair adorning her shoulders, decorating the grey blouse she wore, pale clear skin, brown eyes and lo

    Dennis walked out of the house, throwing his blazer over his shoulder, and Yura followed immediately behind him.When they got outside, Dennis looked around and did not see the vehicle Yura arrived in. Confused, he turned to her"How did you get here?" He asked, and Yura raised her right hand and pressed the car's remote key and it beeped, unlocking it. Dennis turned his gaze towards the direction of the luxurious Mercedes Maybach. It had been long since he had the convenience of sitting in a private car, let alone a luxurious one. He couldn't help but smile as he walked towards it.Meanwhile, Margaret was in the living room watching television when Jack walked in. She had sent him to get back the house contract and then heard his footsteps, shifted her gaze at him and immediately screamed"Jack! Who did this to you?!", "What happened?!" She shouted, rushing towards him and gently leading him to the couch, looking at his wounds. Jack winced in pain and let a few seconds pass, almost

    Dennis nodded in response to Yura."Where are you, Dennis?" Sasha asked, overhearing Yura's voice."That is not your business anymore, Sasha. We're divorced now, remember?" Dennis retorted"Now, excuse me. I do not have the time to rehash meaningless conversations with you" he added.Sasha sneered; at this point, she felt convinced that her brother was right. Dennis was dating this new girl, whoever she was, she thought. Especially after hearing her voice over the phone. "They're probably heading out on a date somewhere," she thought inwardly and wondered how long this had been going on, how long her ex-husband had been cheating on her.She was conflicted with these questions that she couldn't conceal her jealousy anymore and, without thinking, blurted out"Is this what you've been busy doing, Dennis?" she asked abruptly"What, Sasha?" Dennis replied impatiently"Have you been so self-centred that you completely ignored all my goodwill and chose to betray me by dating someone else wh

    Dennis smiled. This was not new to him; years ago, he had always been doubted for his knowledge and expertise in the medical field.However, now, everyone that knew him regarded him as a god of medicine. He walked closer to Duncan's bed and extended his hand out to Kuza for a shake,"Don't worry, get to know me. I'm not here to make trouble," he said confidently, and she gazed at him in amusement.Kuza was still not on board with whatever Yura had planned, but she decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, knowing that Yura wanted her grandfather alive just as much as she did.Hesitantly, she extended her hand and shook Dennis with a lingering suspicion about him.Dennis suddenly held her hand tightly, squeezing it a little, and Kuza experienced the most bizarre thing - She felt a sudden heat flow from her hand into her body. Kuza panicked immediately and wanted to pull her hand away, but just then, Dennis let go, giving her a wry smile."What the hell was that, you bastard?!" She

    "Stop!" The voice thundered across the hallway, causing them to stop their strides. They all turned their gaze and saw Hugh, a short middle-aged man with a few grey hairs and a questioning fashion style, dressed in a night robe in the middle of the day.He slowly approached them, glaring and shifting his gaze between them until it finally landed on Yura, staring at her angrily"No one is moving this man anywhere", he instructed authoritatively, "Why?" Yura asked confused"Why?" Hugh repeated"Because it appears you all are trying to kill Lord Duncan so you can steal his wealth", "Why else will you be moving him outside in the middle of the day with the scorching heat of the sun when you know his condition is critical and he needs to remain rested?" the man assertedImmediately, Yura became enraged over his statement and display of authority.If anyone were to decide anything concerning her grandfather's health and well-being, she was the one.

    "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.

    "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

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.
