The cab halted in front of Dennis. He slid his phone back into his pocket and carried his bags into the backseat."Glendale Ave" he instructed the driver and relaxed on the seat behind him.'No, she couldn't be right' he muttered under his breath recollecting his conversations with SashaHe glanced at his watch and saw that he had about thirty minutes to get ready for Lord Duncan's mansion"We're here sir," the driver said as he parked the car by the side of the road.Dennis handed him five dollars, walked out of the cab and waved him off.He waited till the man was out of sight before he walked towards his house. After his experience at the convenience store, Dennis was feeling on edge, he needed to make sure he was not followed or being spied on.After searching his environment and not seeing anything suspicious, he walked into his house and set the groceries on the kitchen counter, hurried to the bathroom and a few minutes later was done and came back downstairs.He quickly prepare
Lord Duncan led Dennis to his office room situated in the West wing of the mansionHe snapped his fingers and his butler brought over a tray with a bottle of scotch"Welcome back Mr Apollo. Glad to see you, although your trip may have been a little wasted as I'm completely fine" Lord Duncan said as he walked into his office"Oh, it's not much trouble. Plus I did need to see you for other reasons too" Dennis said following him"Scotch, sir?" The butler asked humbly as he approached them"No thank you" Dennis replied and took a seat on a couch directly opposite Lord Duncan after he had signaled him to.He saw the old man collect a glass of scotch, slug it down his throat and place it back on the tray before the butler turned away"Isn't it a little too early to be drinking?" Dennis said arising concern "After the morning I've had, I deserve every pint of that. Plus when you're rich, conventional laws don't really relay to you" Lord Duncan replied with a huge smileLord Duncan immediate
Dennis walked out of the Lord's office purposely. The next item on his list was to see Ruelle and find out everything he could about Kuza and after his brief encounter with Petrovlski, he had more troubling questions.Immediately he walked out and was about to call a ride when one of Lord Duncan's car parked in front of him.The driver slowly lowered the window and Dennis's face scrunched up when he saw who it was."This is a private and secured property, Mr Apollo. 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.
Ruelle lunged at Dennis with a series of repeated punches which he managed to block, but a quick misstep and Ruelle took control of the fight.She ducked and swept his head off the ground, causing Dennis to fall and his face meet her boots."Come on Dennis. 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. At this point, Dennis got incensed, his eyes flashed red and channeled hi
"Again!" Ruelle commanded with a stern lookDennis opened his eyes and stood up from the rock he sat on, storming away"What you're just going to run away from this too?!" 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?" He asked slightly confused"I thought…" "You thought it was just to control molecules" Ruelle interjected. She walked closer to him and stood beside him facing the rock"The truth is the ten levels of Chi off
Finding out Kuza was Elder Akio's daughter, brought upon unsettling feelings on Dennis. 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
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
