Your ride won't come in here. Get in" Yura said with a pleasing smileDennis sighed and walked towards the car. He had about twenty minutes left to get to Ruelle's place before work closing hours. He needed to make an appearance at his work today to find Kuza and see if she could remember anything from the previous night.Usually, the people he practiced Hynos on, never had a recollection of being hypnotised. But if Kuza did, that would only mean one thing, she never was under his hypnotism and he was anxious to find out.

Akio taught you better than that. Put up a fight" she teased Dennis spat out blood again and stood up, this time more determined and charged."Why don't you just save us the trouble and tell me who she is?", "I had another vision, Ruelle" he said, hoping to capture her attention and end this ridiculous fight, but seeing Lorraine crank her head and clench her fist, Dennis knew this was just getting started.Immediately she lunged at him, Dennis dodged her attack and with a powerful blow, took her down"Enough!" He yelled, but again Ruelle quickly got up"Is that all you got? Show me your power, Apollo!" She yelled and charged at him delivering fast attacks.

Ruelle yelled"How has that worked out for you?" She sneered at him"Stop" Dennis growled lightly"Aren't you tired of running away from everything Dennis?", Ruelle persisted "Your home, your wife, yourself. Everything you've ever faced, you've cowered from!" Ruelle yelled louder"Maybe Akio was wrong about you. Maybe you're not so special afterall""I said stop!" Dennis bellowed and a surge of energy cracked the rock he sat on.Immediately, his eyes widened in shock and Dennis smiled."What was that?" Dennis asked slowly approaching the rock"That was Sul" Ruelle said and his eyes opened in more shock"Sul?"

She walked closer to him and stood beside him facing the rock"The truth is the ten levels of Chi off

He still felt there was a part of the picture he was missing, a doubt that lingered on about the circumstances surrounding him meeting her.When he couldn't make it over in time to save his mother when she died, Dennis spent the latter part of his years fighting fate and destiny.During one of their training sessions, Elder Akio had spoken of reincarnation - that it was Dennis's fate to bring order and balance to this rather chaotic world.Of course, at the time, Dennis was just learning how to master his skills and passed the old man's talks for mumbo jumbo.Fate never held the right cards for him, it only brought him pain and loss. Was it fate that he had all the power in the world but could not save his mother? Or was that just nature's design? Was it fate that designed for the first girl he felt an attraction for, to die?No, he had enough of letting an unknown entity control his being, life
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Don't Save Her Mr Apollo
Ruelle's training space was bound by her chi energy. Each Gifted person had a different chi signature, that allowed them to have distinct capabilities to manipulate and alter the energies in the universe, structuring them to their own key pattern.However, some selected few like Dennis had the ability to not just create their key chi signatures but to mirror that of others, which at the time Dennis was unaware that he could.Still, the gateway to Ruelle's training field could only at the time, be opened and locked by her, which meant that Dennis could not leave without her opening the doors."Do not interfere with fate Dennis. The universe is not kind to those who try to alter its balance" Ruelle said, trying to deter him"If the girl is supposed to die, there is a far greater reason than what any of us can comprehend and you should not get in the way of that", she added"And what was the greater reason for my mom dying?" Dennis asked, gazing intently at Ruelle, who seemed defeated an

Dennis ignored Sasha's text despite it sounding urgent, he was in no mood for her manipulative games.He quickly hailed a cab and continued back home.A few moments later, he arrived at his home and when he saw the fleet of police cars swarming outside his yard, he instantly became nervous. Tossing a few dollars to the driver, he hurriedly exited the backseat of the car and hurried over to his front porchSeeing him, one of the policemen approached him"Are you the owner of this property?" The cop asked with a stern expression, holding his hand out to stop Dennis from moving any closer"Yes. I am officer" Dennis replied with a perplexed stare. Quickly his eyes darted around the yard and he saw some other policemen emerging from his backyard"Excuse me, what's going on here?" He asked the man, who gave him a scowling look and turned to walk awayHowever, Dennis quickly went after him and grabbed the man by the arm, slowly becoming irritated.This was not the end of the day he envision

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

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

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

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.
