"Come in" Rico's stern voice followed immediately after the knock on the doorThe doors opened and revealed Graham walking into the room with Rico's guards surrounding him"Is this really necessary every time?" He sighed dejectedly as he approached Rico's tableThere was no response, Rico gestured his hands and sent his guards away. He removed his reading glasses, placed them on the table and slowly lifted his gaze to Graham "What are you doing here?" He asked with a tired sighGraham was indifferent to Rico's obvious detest. He pulled a seat opposite him, sat down and said "Why else would I be here than to discuss our mutual enemy, there's been some new developments" Graham said with a mischievous smileRico leaned back in his chair intrigued, eagerly waiting for Graham to share the newsGraham cleared his throat and said in an earnest tone, "I understand that you've been looking for a man" Rico was taken aback, what was Graham talking about? Could it be that he knew about...? He q

"Twelve million dollars?" Some people in the crowd immediately gasped in shock and started murmuring"Clearly, she must have read the numbers wrong," one person said Sylvia pursed her lips in disbelief, there it was boldly printed on the price tag. She couldn't believe it, no one could"It must be fake!" Jakob blurted furiously, stood up and marched onto the stage "Don't you see what is happening here? He thinks we are fools, that is why he can come in here and show us a fake painting that he probably bribed the seller at a flea market to add a few more zeros, I mean look at the painting. How real does it look?"At this time, most of the guests started murmuring about the authenticity of the art piece.Jakob started sneering "Mr Apollo, Isn't it a little distasteful for you to try and fool me at my engagement party, despite your wealth, couldn't you afford a real gift?"Dennis smiled faintly and asked, "What makes you think it's fake Mr Jakob?" This was the moment he had waited all

"Graham" Diana exclaimed "What are you doing here?" She frowned in confusion and askedGraham smiled, leaned forward and said in a low voice "Would you believe it if I said I missed my little sister?","Cut the crap, Graham! What do you want?" Diana retorted sharply"Hmm," Graham heaved a sigh and walked closer to her, "Could you believe how shocked I was when I found out my dear sister was in the city and having a party without me?" "That's cruel Diana" he mutteredAt this time Jakob stood up and sneered "Who the hell are you to crash my party?!" Graham scoffed, and looked around at the curious gazes of the crowd "It doesn't look much like a party to me"Without much thought, Jakob clenched his fists and lunged at Graham. He had been the subject of ridicule from Dennis this night, and any logical thought was beyond him. At this point, he needed someone to deflect his frustrations on.However, Graham tactically dodged his attack and with a series of quick maneuvering moves, kicked

"What the hell have you done with her?!" Dennis yelled agitatedly, clenching his fists in angerGraham chuckled condescendingly further aggravating DennisAt this time, Dennis had run out of patience, he huffed and clenched his fists angrily "You have one minute, start talking!" He growled, Yet again, Graham cracked a wry laugh, and said "You're not going to do anything to me, that's if you ever want to find her again"Graham was right, Dennis thought. If he beat him unconscious here, there would be no way to know where Kuza was imprisoned, and worse Rico could find out what she was. The few times he saw her, he had an air of suspicion about her, that was why Dennis had tried to keep Kuza hiddenAt this time, he wondered how Graham even found and captured her, was she not in Ruelle's care?"Oh don't worry Mr Apollo, the other woman. You're wondering about her, right? We didn't kill her. B*tch and her goons put up a tough fight, but in the end that wasn't enough" Graham interjected in

"Stop!" The voice echoed across the room attracting Dennis's attentionHe turned his head and stumbled upon Diana quickly approaching him. Dennis was puzzled at first and then suddenly, his expression changed abruptly"What are you doing?" Dennis asked frowning when Diana reached him"He's my brother still," she said Dennis huffed in disgust, refusing to take meaning of that. He was agitated and growled "And does that mean that he doesn't deserve to be punished?","You saw what he did to these people, how he terrorised them. Tell me, are they not people's brothers and families as well?!" Dennis yelled, refusing to mention Kuza on purpose. He knew by now Diana would have sensed Kuza's capture was the trigger that got him manic, and already knew that she would be someone special to himDiana extended her hand and grabbed Dennis's palms gently, trying to calm him down. She glanced at her brother and sneered coldlyAs much as she would like to see her pompous brother suffer for his acti
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Accident
Diana was very curious about the strange events that happened that nightFirst was the ancient painting worth millions of dollars. She knew Dennis was a member of the Apollo family, but even then he wouldn't be able to spend that much money on a gift unless somehow he had access to their money.Her uncle had informed her that Dennis was estranged from the family, but he could be the key to them acquiring the Apollo wealth if she played her cards rightSomething was not adding up, and who was this mysterious girl she never heard of until this evening?

"Who are you and what do you want?" Dennis groaned, crawling on the highway out of the car wreckage The man glared at Dennis in annoyance, "The almighty Dennis Apollo, you don't even recognize me, do you?" He said and then swung the baton around like practice "Well not that any of that matters. I'm going to make you regret what you did to me" the man said Dennis on the other hand was becoming furious, he had no time to deal with yet another person who held strong reservations against him.He shook his head and said mockingly "Trust me whatever you think I did to you, now is not the best time to go over it. So how about I give you my number and you can book an appointment with my secretary to talk about it" This was a classic tactic he learnt from Elder Akio, "When at a disadvantage, find a way to throw your opponent off focus by triggering his anger. An angry unstable man will always fight with anger and leave himself vulnerable" He remembered his master's wordsThere was an obvio

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.

"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.
