The Mysterious Son-In-Law I Know Who You Are
"Think about the offer Dennis," Kuza said and patted him lightly on the shoulder. She turned to walk away but then accidentally tripped on a lamp cord.As she was about to fall, Dennis reached out and grabbed her by the waist, holding on to her.Kuza stared into his eyes deeply, she felt a sudden chill run down her spine as their faces were separated by just a few inches.After seeing Dennis with Sasha, she had been convinced that whatever she was feeling was just a spur of the moment, but staring deep into his eyes right now, she couldn't ignore it any longer. She had fallen for this enchantment of a man.Dennis's hand lightly caressed the smart of her back and his piercing Hazel eyes stared deep into the depths of her soul. She was captivated, almost like magic, she tried to speak but her voice was shaky and her lips trembled"Watch your steps," Dennis said finally breaking the intensifying moment and bringing her out of her trance.Kuza's lips curled into a shy smile, her eyes nar
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Scheme
A few moments later, Dennis tossed his phone aside out of frustration. He had been staring at the text for more than ten minutes and still couldn't find a tangible lead.He walked over to the fridge and brought out a carton of milk. Today's breakfast was raisins with milk. As he poured the milk into the bowl, he stirred it for moments, unable to dismiss the thought and then suddenly, his mind reverted to someone he had ignored.'Could this be from the head of the Druick Pharmaceuticals?'He pondered He quickly pulled out his phone and went online to search through the Internet for any mentions of the Druick Pharmaceuticals hoping to find some information about its owner, or the things they were involved in.But as he scrolled through, there was no incriminating information or anything about their owner.'Well they're thorough, I'll give them that' he muttered and tossed the phone aside.He comfortingly ran his hand through his hair, trying to calm the frustration that was rising.How
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Empathy
Laying back in the passenger seat of the Rolls Royce, Dennis was replaying the events of this morning, still trying to figure out a lead on who was the Head of Druick Pharmaceuticals. Kuza glanced at him and saw the disturbed look on his face,"Everything okay?" She asked softly with concernWith a sigh, Dennis hunkered his head over the car seat and pushed himself forward. Clearing his throat and composing himself, he said "I'm fine" nicely, and smiled at Kuza faintlyNodding, Kuza sat back comfortably. She wasn't convinced that everything was as he said it was, but she figured he wasn't in the mood to talk about it and decided not to pursue itShortly, after a few minutes of driving, Kuza pulled the car in front of the company.Duncan's Pharmaceuticals was the largest Pharmaceutical company in the country, seconded by Druick, they were at the forefront of every medical invention and advancement, with medical professionals and biochemists producing quality drugs that were outreached
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Framed
As Dennis and Kuza made their way to the front entrance, all eyes were in their direction.Everyone wondered the same thing, 'Who was the mysterious young man walking beside the renowned doctor'In a few minutes, Dennis's phone was blowing up with notifications, but keeping his head straight, he refused to check them.However, when they approached the front entrance of the building, Kuza excused herself to attend to an urgent call. From the distressed look on her face, Dennis knew this was a work call and most likely from Lord Duncan himself.He anticipated seeing the old Lord today, having figured he could get unlimited authorized access to all information and records in the hospital easily from him.However, while waiting he could feel the glaring looks from all directions, even the security guards that stood at the entrance.Dennis on the other hand had a smile playing around at the corner of her lips, he could not give a damn as to why they were scrutinizing him.Tired of waiting
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Welcome to The Team, Mr Apollo
Kuza's eyes widened in shock as she tried to process what she had just heard. She didn't think anyone at the company would go out of their way to do something as disturbing as framing Levi Pratt, a lovable employee"What?!" She exclaimed "Why would anyone want to frame Pratt?" She asked raising an eyebrow.Dennis sighed and continued.Kuza listened to him with undivided attention, eager to hear the news that could help liberate her friend or at most clear his name and image."If I'm to guess, I would say for a lot of reasons. It could be someone who was put for him and wanted his position","But that would make you a target" Kuza interjected sharply"Except that I never wanted this job" Dennis reminded and she nodded recalling what it took to get him onboard"It could also be that someone else, the real culprit had stolen the funds and chose to frame his subordinate when the company found out about the lost assets", Dennis said"Subordinate?" Kuza asked with a raised eyebrow"Yes" De
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Behind The Curtains
Mark walked towards Dennis excitedly and stretched out his hand to greet him. However, Dennis's hands remained in his pockets as he stared at him objectively.Mark wasn't the face he expected to see, he recollected when he saw him at the Lord's mansion that he accused them of trying to kill Lord Duncan. His sudden switch in attitude seemed fishy. Mark's hand was still extended for a few minutes, suddenly his face darkened red as Dennis refused his handshake."Wow tough crowd," the chairman said and burst out in an awkward peal of laughter.He shifted his gaze to Kuza but then his laughter died down when he realized that only he was laughingAnd then his countenance suddenly changed, still he tried to maintain his warm approach and tried to debunk how Dennis was acting towards him. But as he tried to turn and walk back, Dennis suddenly grabbed his hand firmly and shook it"Thanks for having me," he said warmly with a wry smileThe chairman stared at his hand for a few moments and th

Dennis had remained quiet the whole time, refusing to weigh in his opinions on the hot-button issue. Apparently, he figured as long as he still had a job within the company and a way to access confidential information, it didn't matter what funding he received to make a cure.Besides, he didn't need it. His technique has always been traditional medicine and using the powers of martial arts and mastery of the universe and how to manipulate its energy.But when The chairman called his attention, he snapped back to reality, being lost in his thoughts."Huh?" He asked suddenly"Do you think you have what it takes to come up with a cure if you're given the necessary funding?" Mark repeated his question.Dennis gazed at Kuza and saw the anxious look on her face,He nodded affirmatively and Mark rubbed his palms together."Alright then, seems you've got us a savior," Mark said teasingly and then shifted his gaze to Kuza"Don't let us down again" he said sternly, and she rolled her eyes at h
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Not Your Fight
Dennis saw a shocking vision of Kuza's death.With a startled look, he gazed at her for a long time with mind-boggling questions racing through his mind'No, this can't be' he muttered under his breath and glanced at Kuza again, who remained still staring at him with concernDennis shook his head refusing to admit the image of what had happenedSuddenly, he began to pace around in the lobby'No this can't be happening again' he murmured to himself****Before his mother died, Dennis had not discovered his gifts yet. Throughout that week, he had a recurring nightmare of seeing her death, but because he did not want to worry her about it, he kept it to himself.The first night he had that dream, he woke up sweating and in panic, but as the day went by, he shoved away the nightmare disregarding it as just a manifestation of his fears.Dennis's mother was the last remaining family he had, his father John Apollo died in a ghastly car accident when Dennis was seven years old.Although the m

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
Chapter 199
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
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
