The Mysterious Son-In-Law A mule
Before Mark could storm out of Lord Duncan's empire, he was stopped by Yura who gave him a deal he could not turn down.It did not come much as a shock to Yura to learn that Mark was secretly stealing the company's funds. She had always had an air of doubt about his intentions with the company.Mark was still in shock from being discovered while pondering his future prospects. His uncle had told him that he'd still have his position as the manager of the company, but Mark knew that sooner or later, he might lose that position as well, now that he was under tight scrutiny.However, Lord Duncan had other plans for him. He had assigned Yura a conflicting task and even when she could not understand why her grandfather would entrust such an important task to someone who was just caught stealing from them, she did not question it.Her grandfather had told her according to the widespread news that Druick Pharmaceuticals was responsible for the spread of the virus. That Dennis was right and t
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Dangerous Alliances
Very quickly, Mark shook his head and dismissed the thoughts. It was not probable that Dennis was the heir of the Groff family.Mark quickly reminded himself that Dennis was the live-in son-in-law of the Luther family which was absolutely incomparable in stature to the Groff family at all.There would be no way that Dennis could be from the Groff family and still subject himself to embarrassment and torture from the second-rate Luther family if he was indeed the young long-lost master of the Groff family.This was just his mind playing tricks on him to think that Dennis was actually a somebodyA sinister smile suddenly appeared on Mark's face as he muttered to himself "Dennis Apollo, you may have everyone else fooled, but you can't fool me" With that, Mark grabbed his keys, rushed out of his office and met Ava. Immediately, the young girl could feel a towering shadow engulf her and gulped in fear, looking up slowly, she met her boss's stern gaze"Remember to leave me a message immedi
The Mysterious Son-In-Law An Unforeseen Turn
Reluctantly, filled with fear Mark slowly approached the table where Rico was seatedAs he got closer to the table, his eyes widened in shock as he saw Graham Finley, the very man whom he had called to town to help him salvage the situation with Dennis and help put back things into controlBefore this moment, Mark had no idea that Rico and Graham were business associates or knew each other at all. Having Graham here tonight was going to jeopardise his mission. There was no way that he would be able to sell his lie about Dennis and have Rico agree to the fake agreement with Duncan Pharmaceuticals without Graham catching him in his lie.However, as he almost reached their table, Rico's security blocked his path. Mark was so frightened that he shivered uncontrollably and gulped as he saw the heavily built men clenched their fists.He feared he would be receiving the beating of his life right here and then, when just at that moment Rico, smirked and raised his fingers sending the guards
The Mysterious Son-In-Law An Appointment
Some moments before Mark left for Somerville Hotel, Dennis received a call from Lord Duncan requesting his presence at his homeHe hurriedly took a cab to the estate and as he approached the front entrance of the estate, all the guards immediately bowed to himThis action confused Dennis, but he kept his head straight and strode towards Lord Duncan's quartersIt wasn't until Dennis arrived at Lord Duncan's office that he realized what was going onYura immediately approached him and bowed "Welcome young master. My grandfather is waiting for you" she said and opened the doors to the office"Young master?" Dennis asked with curiosityYura shot him a disdainful look, snorted indifferently and said "Trust me, I'm not happy about it either" then walked into the roomWhen Dennis entered the room, he saw a grey-haired man sitting across the table with Lord Duncan. This man had an air of familiarity about him. Slowly, Dennis turned his gaze to Yura and asked "What is this about? Why was I ca
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The New Director
When Lord Duncan announced to Dennis the position he was offering him, Dennis remained quiet for some moments. Although a thought was slowly brewing in his mind, he considered the responsibilities that would come with such a role and if he was prepared for it.Although he was aware of the lucrative benefits that came with being the Director of the company, he figured he could get anything he wanted by himselfFrom what he understood, they not only needed someone to pose as the face of their company, but they also needed a mule to investigate Druick Pharmaceuticals and learn their company ranks and how it operatedWith that flowing in his mind, he glanced at Lord Duncan and managed a wry smile "I'm not sure I'm the right fit for this role",Dennis thought within himself that getting that close to Rico Petrovlski might ruin all the schemes he wanted to run against the manHe knew that Ivan was sent by the Russian man to kill him, and agreeing to infiltrate his company was almost like si
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Crises
Dennis did not go directly to Ruelle's shop. What Lord Duncan had said earlier Still lingered in his mind. He knew that if Mark was sent to Somerville Hotel, there was every chance that he was either in danger or would sabotage everything they plannedWith that thought flowing in his mind, he changed his mind and headed to Somerville Hotel instead.Meanwhile, blood drained from Mark's face and cold sweat covered his forehead as he shook uncontrollably with fearEnduring the pain from the broken fingers, he pressed his head against the floor and cried as he pleaded "Master Rico, I'm sorry I angered you, it's completely my fault that our agreement was discovered and sabotaged, I had no idea that mentioning it would offend you, please forgive me and spare my life",Mark pleaded, knocking his head against the floor multiple times. When he looked up at the red bloodshot eyes of Rico earlier, it was as if he stared into the face of death itself.Never did he expect that the outcome of his m
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Reveal
Mark heard the distorted sound of a man across the room and his mind immediately wandered.'Is that Dennis?' He thought, he barely knew him that well, but from the short time he had been around him, he could recognize the voice of the man he hated.The man that was responsible for putting him in this situation. He tried to shift his gaze towards the direction to confirm it, but his eyes were swollen from the punchesMark couldn't process what was happening at the moment. Why was Dennis here and if that was really him, why did he defend him? Wouldn't he be better off with him gone? Mark ponderedRico was equally surprised that someone dared stand up for the d*mn lying snake at a moment like this. Due to the lighting of the room, he could barely see who it was, so he growled coldly "Show yourself!"Slowly, Dennis emerged from the entrance and walked into view, the silver light of the moon bounced off his face showcasing a wry grin on his face "I heard you've been looking for me Mr Petr
The Mysterious Son-In-Law A Deal With The Devil
Dennis froze abruptly as if struck by lightening when he saw GrahamGraham marched closer to him and a wide grin appeared on his face "Oh don't be so surprised Mr Apollo, did you honestly think that any of this would be happening without me?" Graham questioned, circling Dennis with a smug face"I must say when I got the call telling me that the Dennis Apollo was still alive and even more so, appointed as the new head of the Duncan Empire, I didn't know if to feel shocked or impressed" "You truly have worked your way up from the gutter, and now here you are, standing before my business associate with a knife to his neck. I employ your audaciousness", Graham said condescendinglyFrom the corner of his eyes, Dennis saw him reach into his pocket and abruptly tossed Rico away like a rag doll, pointing the knife at Graham A wry smile appeared across the face of the man as he held up his arms and said "Relax Dennis, it is just some legal documents. You said you wanted to talk right?" Graha

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?"

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.
