The Mysterious Son-In-Law I Know Why You're Here
Dennis got down from the elevator and walked towards the exit of the company.From the corner of his eyes, he could see that his coworkers were still chatting about him, but Dennis paid no mind to their reservations.He was more focused on the issue at hand to care about what the people he had to work with were saying about him.Immediately he got out of the building, there was still an uproar from the protestors which only got more intensified when they saw Dennis"Murderer!", "Thief!", "Where is your sympathy?!" Some of the protestors yelled and then one of them angrily threw a cup of hot coffee at Dennis.Reflexively he saw the cup coming at him and he tapped into the energy field of Diune to slow the cup in motion and easily caught it.If anyone else saw what Dennis had just done, the media's focus on the health pandemic would have turned in a different directionLuckily for him, he only used the power reflexively when the cup got very close to him and he stood at an angle where n

"I've been having those visions again Ruelle," Dave said gazing at the antiquated items hung on the walls"What visions?" Ruelle asked, pretending not to know what he was talking about, still swinging the incense around "The ones I used to have with my mother" Dennis replied and immediately she paused and turned her gaze to himShe already knew what Dennis was there to find but her visions were limited to a certain degreeRuelle took a deep sigh and then said"That's why you want to know whether your little girlfriend lives or dies," Ruelle said conclusively and Dennis shot him an angry stare"She is not my girlfriend," he said authoritatively Ruelle was about to speak when she saw the worried look on Dennis's face and decided to withhold her cognitive statements A few moments of silence passed before Dennis finally lifted his gaze towards her face and asked"What happens to her Ruelle?"

He could not believe who was driving the car. When Dennis lived with Sasha, his position in the house was lesser than even that of the security guards and house workers.As a result of this, he suffered insults and abuse from them.Dennis's mother-

The Mysterious Son-In-Law Brace Yourself
Immediately, Sasha followed Dennis outside the yard, wondering what he meant by 'he'd take everything As she reached the yard, she gasped in shock seeing Dennis standing beside the expensive vehicle.It was almost as if she had stepped into an alternate reality"What is going on?" She blurted in shockDennis turned towards her with a casual smile on his lips"I'll gladly catch you up," he said and approached her gently"You and your family had always treated me like shit, but now things are changing. You're no longer at the top of your class and your fragile ego is damaged", Dennis said, his voice steady "Now that you see things coming together for me, you can't handle it because you all believed that I was worthless",As Dennis spoke, a wave of disappointment washed over Sasha, threatening to drown her in a sea of regrets.

The Mysterious Son-In-Law Unexpected
Dennis walked to the door and then turned to face Kuza. With a changed demeanor, he said "Go home Kuza","As I told you before, I'm not going anywhere, not until you start talking and tell me who you really are", Kuza said fiercely "Trust me you don't want to know!" Dennis bellowed"Then why am I still here?", "Tell me Dennis, what am I doing here? Cause I too would like to know", she said and walked towards him"Tell me why when you stormed out, I was so worried about what you'd do or what'd happen to you, that I found myself waiting for you like a complete idiot at your front porch, just to make sure that you are safe?" She asked and drew nearer to him"I'd like to know you Dennis, the real you cause I don't like the picture of you I have in my head" she said with a sombre tone and her countenance suddenly changed "And what is the picture of me that you have in your head?" Dennis askedHer words had softened his anger and suddenly the rage and incompetence he was feeling about hi

"What do you mean?" Kuza asked with a worried look"Dennis. I know you have a knack for getting yourself into more trouble, but please don't do anything reckless" Kuza pleaded"You don't understand. Those people made my life miserable!" Dennis raged"They deserve whatever they get," he said and stormed to the living room. Kuza immediately followed him,It was evident that this man she was beginning to fall for, had so much built-up aggression that he needed to let out, and if he didn't find a healthy way to deal with it, it was going to consume him until there was nothing left of him than his anger.She knew it too well having watched this happen to her father.When she was younger after she lost her mother to a drunk driver. Her father spent the better of his days drinking his life away, he cursed that day every time he found himself at the bottom of a bottle, but whenever he was without it, he only felt more hatred for drinking that night and crashing the truck that led to his wife'
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Questions
"She's an Orca?" Dennis pondered on this for moments long. No matter how he looked at it, it just didn't make sense.He was always able to read people's energy. But this whole time, there was no read on Kuza. So how was it possible that she was one of the remaining Orcas in the worldDuring the mid-century 1700s, there was a purge that happened. Throughout generations, there has always been a gifted few spread across the continents of the world, some called them an imbalance in nature, and others called them gifts.During this era, these gifted humans were out in the open, they helped maintain order and balance in the world and also frequently healed their sick.But an uprise started when the people decided that the Orcas were more powerful than they allowed and as such posed a threat to their lives and the natural order.These gifted humans, unlike their counterparts, did not need to draw their energy from the elements and fields of nature. Their gifts were within them, like a walk

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
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
