Laying back in the passenger seat of the Rolls Royce, Dennis was replaying the events of this morning, still trying to figure out a lead on who was the Head of Druick Pharmaceuticals. Kuza glanced at him and saw the disturbed look on his face,"Everything okay?" She asked softly with concernWith a sigh, Dennis hunkered his head over the car seat and pushed himself forward. Clearing his throat and composing himself, he said "I'm fine" nicely, and smiled at Kuza faintlyNodding, Kuza sat back comfortably. She wasn't convinced that everything was as he said it was, but she figured he wasn't in the mood to talk about it and decided not to pursue itShortly, after a few minutes of driving, Kuza pulled the car in front of the company.Duncan's Pharmaceuticals was the largest Pharmaceutical company in the country, seconded by Druick, they were at the forefront of every medical invention and advancement, with medical professionals and biochemists producing quality drugs that were outreached
As Dennis and Kuza made their way to the front entrance, all eyes were in their direction.Everyone wondered the same thing, 'Who was the mysterious young man walking beside the renowned doctor'In a few minutes, Dennis's phone was blowing up with notifications, but keeping his head straight, he refused to check them.However, when they approached the front entrance of the building, Kuza excused herself to attend to an urgent call. From the distressed look on her face, Dennis knew this was a work call and most likely from Lord Duncan himself.He anticipated seeing the old Lord today, having figured he could get unlimited authorized access to all information and records in the hospital easily from him.However, while waiting he could feel the glaring looks from all directions, even the security guards that stood at the entrance.Dennis on the other hand had a smile playing around at the corner of her lips, he could not give a damn as to why they were scrutinizing him.Tired of waiting
Kuza's eyes widened in shock as she tried to process what she had just heard. She didn't think anyone at the company would go out of their way to do something as disturbing as framing Levi Pratt, a lovable employee"What?!" She exclaimed "Why would anyone want to frame Pratt?" She asked raising an eyebrow.Dennis sighed and continued.Kuza listened to him with undivided attention, eager to hear the news that could help liberate her friend or at most clear his name and image."If I'm to guess, I would say for a lot of reasons. It could be someone who was put for him and wanted his position","But that would make you a target" Kuza interjected sharply"Except that I never wanted this job" Dennis reminded and she nodded recalling what it took to get him onboard"It could also be that someone else, the real culprit had stolen the funds and chose to frame his subordinate when the company found out about the lost assets", Dennis said"Subordinate?" Kuza asked with a raised eyebrow"Yes" De
Mark walked towards Dennis excitedly and stretched out his hand to greet him. However, Dennis's hands remained in his pockets as he stared at him objectively.Mark wasn't the face he expected to see, he recollected when he saw him at the Lord's mansion that he accused them of trying to kill Lord Duncan. His sudden switch in attitude seemed fishy. Mark's hand was still extended for a few minutes, suddenly his face darkened red as Dennis refused his handshake."Wow tough crowd," the chairman said and burst out in an awkward peal of laughter.He shifted his gaze to Kuza but then his laughter died down when he realized that only he was laughingAnd then his countenance suddenly changed, still he tried to maintain his warm approach and tried to debunk how Dennis was acting towards him. But as he tried to turn and walk back, Dennis suddenly grabbed his hand firmly and shook it"Thanks for having me," he said warmly with a wry smileThe chairman stared at his hand for a few moments and th
Dennis had remained quiet the whole time, refusing to weigh in his opinions on the hot-button issue. Apparently, he figured as long as he still had a job within the company and a way to access confidential information, it didn't matter what funding he received to make a cure.Besides, he didn't need it. His technique has always been traditional medicine and using the powers of martial arts and mastery of the universe and how to manipulate its energy.But when The chairman called his attention, he snapped back to reality, being lost in his thoughts."Huh?" He asked suddenly"Do you think you have what it takes to come up with a cure if you're given the necessary funding?" Mark repeated his question.Dennis gazed at Kuza and saw the anxious look on her face,He nodded affirmatively and Mark rubbed his palms together."Alright then, seems you've got us a savior," Mark said teasingly and then shifted his gaze to Kuza"Don't let us down again" he said sternly, and she rolled her eyes at h
Dennis saw a shocking vision of Kuza's death.With a startled look, he gazed at her for a long time with mind-boggling questions racing through his mind'No, this can't be' he muttered under his breath and glanced at Kuza again, who remained still staring at him with concernDennis shook his head refusing to admit the image of what had happenedSuddenly, he began to pace around in the lobby'No this can't be happening again' he murmured to himself****Before his mother died, Dennis had not discovered his gifts yet. Throughout that week, he had a recurring nightmare of seeing her death, but because he did not want to worry her about it, he kept it to himself.The first night he had that dream, he woke up sweating and in panic, but as the day went by, he shoved away the nightmare disregarding it as just a manifestation of his fears.Dennis's mother was the last remaining family he had, his father John Apollo died in a ghastly car accident when Dennis was seven years old.Although the m
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 asked with a serious look on his face"I wish I could give you the answers you seek Dennis,"
