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 yelled, raising her hand to hit him, but Dennis swiftly blocked it, gently lowering her hand down"Calm yourself, Ms Kuza", he said softly"What did you do to me?" She asked with a suspicious look, shifting her gaze between Dennis and YuraDennis could not give up the opportunity to tease her and address her doubts about him earlier,"Medicine," he said with a wry smile, and Kuza shot him a piercing angry look"Has your period pain eased?" He asked her softly, and Kuza felt more puzzled.She remained unmoved, unsure of what to say. It was apparent that she was dealing with a crazy man.The only thing she couldn't figure out was why Yura had brought him to save her grandfather's life, and her confidence in him began to fade.But suddenly, she had a shocking realization, he was right. She could not feel her period pains anymore.Immediately she felt frantic and paced around uncomfortably, filled with many questions.There was no medical explanation for what had just happened. Throughout her years in medical school, she had never experienced or heard of anything of the such, but still, she could not ignore the fact that the pain was completely gone.This challenged everything she believed in science and medicine naturally. There was no such thing as magic, but how could she explain this? She thought as she paced around uncomfortably."How did you do it?" She turned sharply and asked him, her face turning red from embarrassment from knowing that this stranger, whom she still believed was crazy, had somehow known about her period pain"Did Yura tell you?" She added sharply and turned to Yura"Did you tell him?" She asked sternly"No, Ms Kuza. You should really try and relax," Yura said, and Kuza felt infuriated.Nothing made sense at that point, and she raked her hand through her hair in frustrationDennis smiled satisfactorily and moved closer to Akio, and began to examine his condition, ignoring KuzaA few moments later, he turned to Yura and stared at her with a reassuring smile on his face"I know what's wrong with him. I know how to save your grandfather," he said confidently, and Yura's face brimmed."Great", she replied, rubbing her palms I'm excitement"What do we have to do?" She asked him. The nurse stopped pacing when she overheard that Dennis had found a solution.She was curious to know what it was and hurried over to them"What did you find? Is it a brain paralysis situation?" She asked impulsively, still trying to find a medical link to rationalise the unsettling doubts about science going on in her headDennis turned to her and said with pleasure"No, Ms Kuza", and shifted his gaze to Yura"Can you find someone to transport your grandfather to the yard? I need to get him out under the sunshine," He asked"The yard?!" The nurse exclaimed."What the hell for?" She turned and stared at Yura with a serious look"Yura, listen to me. I have been your family's nurse and treated your grandfather's illness and examined his condition for years. Now, do not move him; we do not have a full grasp of what his conditions are and moving him could be dangerous.""I know you think this man knows what he's doing, especially with that little act he performed earlier, but trust me, if you move your grandfather while he is still in this state, we have no idea what complications may arise", she sputtered, pleading with Yura to reconsider.Dennis yawned exhaustively, awaiting Yura's permission to proceed.Yura stared at the nurse for moments without saying a word; she could understand her fear. Not only was she their family's nurse, but Kuza had also gotten fond of her grandfather and cared deeply for him.She understood that it was this fondness that made her so involved in his health and was only looking out for him.She heaved a tired sigh and said,"Ms Kuza. I thank you for everything you've done for my grandfather and for keeping him alive till now," Yura said and extended her arm and held Kuza gently."But this is a little above your area of expertise. Now you have tried everything you could to help and stabilize my grandfather's situation, but nothing has worked","I won't wait around any more and let anything happen to him. Mr Apollo says he knows how to save him, and for now, I'm going to put my faith in him," Yura retortedShe turned and faced Dennis and said affirmatively,"Okay"Dennis sprung up immediately and started moving towards the door, while Yura brought out her phone and called the female guard inside to push her grandfather to the yard on a stretcher.Dennis waited outside the door, and when Yura and, surprisingly, the nurse caught up to him with Lord Duncan pushed behind on a stretcher,Suddenly, they heard an angry voice that made them pause their strides"Stop!""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. He had no right to insinuate such discr
Kuza and Yura screamed when they saw the insects in Lord Duncan's blood and jumped back in fear. However, Dennis remained unmoved. This was nothing new to him, and a few seconds later, the insects turned to smoke and disappeared into the air.Immediately, Lord Duncan sat up abruptly, gasping as his eyes widened and he became conscious again.Without thinking for long, Yura ran towards him and hugged him, crying tears of joy. The sight warmed Dennis's heart as he stepped away, allowing them ample time to reconnect."What happened?" Lord Duncan asked, and his granddaughter looked at him with tears in her eyes. She hugged him again and cried,"I'm so glad you're awake, Grandpa", she said and looked over at Dennis heartilyMeanwhile, Hugh awoke in the hallway and looked around, nursing a slight headache he got when he fell.He wondered what he was doing on the floor in the middle of the hallway and then suddenly recalled what had happened.Immediately he panicked, fearing that Yura had go
When Duncan mentioned Dennis's ex-wife, his countenance changed. He gave Duncan a wry smile and said"That won't be necessary, my Lord, she divorced me", Dennis said, and Lord Duncan was greatly shocked, as he wondered what kind of girl in her right mind would leave Dennis.However, when Nurse Kuza heard that Dennis was divorced, she felt greatly relieved and could not conceal her happiness. "What happened between you two?" Lord Duncan asked as the nurse pushed him slowly on the stretcher, accompanied by his granddaughter. "I don't think it's something I want to talk about anymore," Dennis said softly."Of course, I understand. Well, thank you again, Mr Apollo", Duncan retorted, and Dennis gave a courteous nod"I would like to take my leave now. I need to get some rest; I haven't had enough of that recently," Dennis said, and Lord Duncan smiled"Alright, Mr Apollo", "Yura", he called his granddaughter "Please see to it that Mr Apollo is well compensated and take him back home", Du
Engaged in the standoff, Dennis brimmed as he saw the terrified look on Jack's face. He was very confident that he could take on Jack's thugs with his level of mastery in martial arts. However, Yura's bodyguards brought a more gratifying dread into Jack's body, and he did not have to expose his martial arts skills.He took a swig of his beer, breathed out its freshness and stared at Jack, making circles with his finger around the condensed bottle.Suddenly, he felt the bottle begin to freeze up, and then he snapped out of the trance. Slowly, he approached Jack, who was hiding behind a blockade of his thugs. Dennis smiled wryly at them, trying hard to remain composed, even as their whole body exuded fear. He sneered at them and said boldly "As you can see, Jack, I'm not as powerless as you thought."Jack gulped and bit his lips, trembling in fear"You trespass my home and bring your thugs to beat me up? You do know whatever happens now is entirely legal and all your fault", Dennis s
"What?" Dennis asked, alarmed, rushing towards her.He saw her standing near his ceramic monkey's paw, gazing at it in awe"Be careful with that," he said hurriedly and pushed her backwards. Yura glanced around the space, enthralled by the display"What is all these?" She asked, gazing at the various antiquated objects and talismans in the room."Wait, is that the tooth of the sabretooth tiger from Xiangchaun?" She asked, approaching it. Yura was a historian, and a collector of various historical artefacts rumoured to hold great powers and curses. Stumbling into Dennis's collections was like a tour through a museum for her.She turned to him sharply, her face contorted into a deep curiosity"Some of these artefacts were rumoured to be lost for years; how did you get all these?" Yura asked with a piercing concern."You don't seem like a collector. So where did you get them from?"Just then, Dennis's phone conveniently rang, saving him from having to answer the question. In truth, he wa
"I'm sorry. Did I hear you say no?" Yura asked, appalled and watched as he walked away. She stopped midstride briefly, trying to discern why he would give up on such an amazing opportunity. Lord Duncan was the wealthiest man in the city; anyone would be lucky to work for him, especially with how much he paid his workers.Yura allowed a few moments to pass and then went after Dennis"You've not even heard the details of the job," she reasoned, hoping to sway his mind"And I don't need to," Dennis riposted sharply A scoff escaped Yura's mouth. If she didn't know better, she would've thought Dennis was playing hard to get, so they would offer him more benefits and higher pay.Yura had to admit, he was driving a tough bargain so far. And come to think of it, he wasn't a typical doctor, a man with gifts such as he deserved to be paid much higher.She looked at him and decided to play along. Yura smiled faintly, hastened towards him and grabbed his hand"One million dollars a month", she
Dennis headed towards the toolshed in his backyard. He checked his watch and saw that it was 5 p.m.According to the books he read while on the island, the setting sun provided energy that was in sync with the rise of the moon. Practicing the special arts at this moment meant that one was at the peak of their energy field.Dennis House in Glendale had an outdoor toolshed a few metres away from the house, connected by a paved pathway with lush and green vegetation.Having been away for three years, these eddishes had overgrown, creating narrow walkway-like hedges to the toolshed.Dennis found this the perfect place to perform Jangi. The toolshed had an overhead glass roof, exposing it directly to the energy of the sun and the moon.As he walked through the narrow pavement, the droplets of rain formed a bubble around him, and the puddles on the ground were pushed away by the energy exuding him. This was a level of Sul only a few people could perform, where a great master could push aw
"You want me back?" Dennis exclaimed, unable to believe his ears. Letting out a breath, Dennis crossed his arms and then adjusted, trying to adjust to the thoughts in his mind. He stepped backwards and glanced at Sasha again, trying to digest his shock."Wh-what?!" Dennis's voice echoed through the room"You divorced me!" He exclaimed annoyedSeeing the frustration in Dennis's eyes, Sasha regretted her choice of words, but it was too late to take it back. "I made a mistake with you, I see it now","I didn't want to leave you, Dennis. I love you", Dennis scoffed "You love me? Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?", "If you've already forgotten, let me jog your memory; you were terrible to me, despite everything I had done for you, you threw me out of the house", "My mother threw you out of our house, not me," Sasha said and threw up her arm,"She is responsible for everything that went wrong between us. She convinced me to sign the divorce papers",Dennis stood there without talki
