2024-10-29 19:42:56Dennis nodded in response to Yura.
"Where are you, Dennis?" Sasha asked, overhearing Yura's voice."That is not your business anymore, Sasha. We're divorced now, remember?" Dennis retorted"Now, excuse me. I do not have the time to rehash meaningless conversations with you" he added.Sasha sneered; at this point, she felt convinced that her brother was right. Dennis was dating this new girl, whoever she was, she thought. Especially after hearing her voice over the phone."They're probably heading out on a date somewhere," she thought inwardly and wondered how long this had been going on, how long her ex-husband had been cheating on her.She was conflicted with these questions that she couldn't conceal her jealousy anymore and, without thinking, blurted out"Is this what you've been busy doing, Dennis?" she asked abruptly"What, Sasha?" Dennis replied impatiently"Have you been so self-centred that you completely ignored all my goodwill and chose to betray me by dating someone else while we were still together?" She said painfully, her voice laced with regret and anger"Dating someone else?" Dennis muttered to himself, puzzled. At this point, his patience was running thin, and he became speechless. It was apparent that Sasha was just being unreasonable and had nothing important to say,"Whatever, Sasha", he replied and ended the call. There were more important things afoot than dealing with his crazy ex-wife, he thought as he silenced his phone and put it back into his pocket, stepping out of the car as they arrived at Akio's massive villa.Sasha stared at the phone in surprise; she couldn't believe that Dennis had ended her call because he never did before.She thought about calling him back, but her mother quickly interjected,"What did he say? Is he going to give us back the house contract?" She asked, gazing at her daughter in anticipationSasha slowly turned to her, giving her a questioning look. She couldn't believe her mother was still hammering over the house case.Although she now felt uncomfortable giving Dennis the house, thinking that he was only using it to bring girls over. Still, she couldn't ask for it back."No, Mom, he did not say anything about the house", Sasha retorted and walked towards her brother"How is Jack doing? We might need to take him to a hospital to treat his injuries," She added, but her mother quickly cut her off, enraged"He's not giving back the house? That ex-husband of yours wants to prove stubborn. With everything he has done to my boy? He must hand over that house to you, if not for anything, as compensation for what he did to your brother. Else, I will call the police on him," Margaret raged, and Sasha sighed.She wondered if her mother was at all concerned about her brother or if she only wanted and cared about getting the house back."Who the hell does he think he is? We own that house, it is rightfully ours, and we should be the ones with the deed!" She thundered annoyingly."Just look at what he did to my boy. This is partly your fault Sasha" Margaret cried,"If you didn't give him that house as I told you not to, none of these would be happening", she added sharply, staring angrily at her daughter"Enough!" Sasha yelled, getting more irritated by her mother's dramatics. She stormed out of the room, back to her office.She needed silence to think and process her emotions and was in no mood to be blamed for her decisions.As she walked out of the living room, one thing was still heavy on her mind, leaving her greatly unsettledWhen did Dennis get a new girlfriend? And could it be possible that he had been cheating on her the entire time? She thought, raking her fingers through her hair in confusion and anger, trying to remain calm.She couldn't tell what had bothered her most- why she was increasingly getting disturbed over her ex-husband's love life? Or that it seemed he had moved on so quickly.Margaret and Jack seemed quite shocked by Sasha's reaction and exchanged a confused stare with each other.Meanwhile, as Dennis and Yura walked into the villa, he was filled with mixed feelings, surrounded by many armed guards in black suits.Immediately, two guards approached them,"Welcome back, Ms Hughes, Mr Apollo", the female guard greeted, walking in front of them"This way, please. Your grandfather is waiting," the lady said, turning a corner.Dennis looked at Yura and shifted his gaze to his environment, trying to acquaint himself with it.Although he had heard about Lord Duncan, the eccentric rich and powerful man for a few years and treated him a year ago, he had never spent time in his villa. Being here now, he found it to be simply beautiful.A few moments later, they reached Duncan's room, and Yura stopped outside the door and turned to Dennis"I expect you to do everything you can to save him, Mr Apollo," Yura said in a serious tone looking at Dennis and then giving the female guard a nod, as she pushed open the door.Dennis and Yura walked into the room towards Duncan's bed.He appeared weak and lifeless, and Yura immediately got worried, staring at the young female nurse standing next to her grandfather, examining his condition."Strange", the lady kept saying"What are the results, Ms Kuza?" Yura asked the nurse in frustration, and she frowned, picked up her tablet and read his vitals."All the results of my examination are good. Medically, your grandfather seems to have no problem, but something greatly baffles me," she said"What?" Yura asked, growing impatient"Despite his stable vitals, your grandfather is still unconscious, and nothing I've tried to do has worked. It's almost like he's in a rare case of self-induced coma","What's that?" Yura asked with a burgeoning curiosity"Normally, comas are medically induced, but sometimes, very rarely, a patient induces one themselves, either to disassociate themselves from the bodily pain they were experiencing","I don't know what else to do right now" she added, and Yura smiled"Don't worry, Ms Kuza", "I've brought someone who can help with his situation, someone who can save him", Yura said, trying to comfort the nurse, but she looked doubtful and a little offended that Yura did not believe in her efficiencyShe glanced at Dennis and asked, "Him?""Yes", Yura replied, and Kuza had a hard time believing her. Dennis looked so young and nothing like a doctor.She averted her gaze at him, staring disapprovingly.She was Lord Duncan's family doctor and did not feel secure about letting some nobody attend to him,"What medical school did you graduate from?" Kuza asked Dennis objectively"I never went to any medical school", Dennis replied softly, and Kuza frowned. She shifted her gaze back at Yura"Is he kidding me?" she asked, puzzled"No, I assure you he's not", Yura replied"How is he supposed to save your grandfather without any medical knowledge and experience? Do you even know what you're doing Yura?!" The nurse exclaimed"This is not a joke!"

Dennis smiled. This was not new to him; years ago, he had always been doubted for his knowledge and expertise in the medical field.However, now, everyone that knew him regarded him as a god of medicine. He walked closer to Duncan's bed and extended his hand out to Kuza for a shake,"Don't worry, get to know me. I'm not here to make trouble," he said confidently, and she gazed at him in amusement.Kuza was still not on board with whatever Yura had planned, but she decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, knowing that Yura wanted her grandfather alive just as much as she did.Hesitantly, she extended her hand and shook Dennis with a lingering suspicion about him.Dennis suddenly held her hand tightly, squeezing it a little, and Kuza experienced the most bizarre thing - She felt a sudden heat flow from her hand into her body. Kuza panicked immediately and wanted to pull her hand away, but just then, Dennis let go, giving her a wry smile."What the hell was that, you bastard?!" She

"Stop!" The voice thundered across the hallway, causing them to stop their strides. They all turned their gaze and saw Hugh, a short middle-aged man with a few grey hairs and a questioning fashion style, dressed in a night robe in the middle of the day.He slowly approached them, glaring and shifting his gaze between them until it finally landed on Yura, staring at her angrily"No one is moving this man anywhere", he instructed authoritatively, "Why?" Yura asked confused"Why?" Hugh repeated"Because it appears you all are trying to kill Lord Duncan so you can steal his wealth", "Why else will you be moving him outside in the middle of the day with the scorching heat of the sun when you know his condition is critical and he needs to remain rested?" the man assertedImmediately, Yura became enraged over his statement and display of authority.If anyone were to decide anything concerning her grandfather's health and well-being, she was the one. He had no right to insinuate such discr

Kuza and Yura screamed when they saw the insects in Lord Duncan's blood and jumped back in fear. However, Dennis remained unmoved. This was nothing new to him, and a few seconds later, the insects turned to smoke and disappeared into the air.Immediately, Lord Duncan sat up abruptly, gasping as his eyes widened and he became conscious again.Without thinking for long, Yura ran towards him and hugged him, crying tears of joy. The sight warmed Dennis's heart as he stepped away, allowing them ample time to reconnect."What happened?" Lord Duncan asked, and his granddaughter looked at him with tears in her eyes. She hugged him again and cried,"I'm so glad you're awake, Grandpa", she said and looked over at Dennis heartilyMeanwhile, Hugh awoke in the hallway and looked around, nursing a slight headache he got when he fell.He wondered what he was doing on the floor in the middle of the hallway and then suddenly recalled what had happened.Immediately he panicked, fearing that Yura had go

When Duncan mentioned Dennis's ex-wife, his countenance changed. He gave Duncan a wry smile and said"That won't be necessary, my Lord, she divorced me", Dennis said, and Lord Duncan was greatly shocked, as he wondered what kind of girl in her right mind would leave Dennis.However, when Nurse Kuza heard that Dennis was divorced, she felt greatly relieved and could not conceal her happiness. "What happened between you two?" Lord Duncan asked as the nurse pushed him slowly on the stretcher, accompanied by his granddaughter. "I don't think it's something I want to talk about anymore," Dennis said softly."Of course, I understand. Well, thank you again, Mr Apollo", Duncan retorted, and Dennis gave a courteous nod"I would like to take my leave now. I need to get some rest; I haven't had enough of that recently," Dennis said, and Lord Duncan smiled"Alright, Mr Apollo", "Yura", he called his granddaughter "Please see to it that Mr Apollo is well compensated and take him back home", Du
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Things You Shouldn't Know
Engaged in the standoff, Dennis brimmed as he saw the terrified look on Jack's face. He was very confident that he could take on Jack's thugs with his level of mastery in martial arts. However, Yura's bodyguards brought a more gratifying dread into Jack's body, and he did not have to expose his martial arts skills.He took a swig of his beer, breathed out its freshness and stared at Jack, making circles with his finger around the condensed bottle.Suddenly, he felt the bottle begin to freeze up, and then he snapped out of the trance. Slowly, he approached Jack, who was hiding behind a blockade of his thugs. Dennis smiled wryly at them, trying hard to remain composed, even as their whole body exuded fear. He sneered at them and said boldly "As you can see, Jack, I'm not as powerless as you thought."Jack gulped and bit his lips, trembling in fear"You trespass my home and bring your thugs to beat me up? You do know whatever happens now is entirely legal and all your fault", Dennis s

"What?" Dennis asked, alarmed, rushing towards her.He saw her standing near his ceramic monkey's paw, gazing at it in awe"Be careful with that," he said hurriedly and pushed her backwards. Yura glanced around the space, enthralled by the display"What is all these?" She asked, gazing at the various antiquated objects and talismans in the room."Wait, is that the tooth of the sabretooth tiger from Xiangchaun?" She asked, approaching it. Yura was a historian, and a collector of various historical artefacts rumoured to hold great powers and curses. Stumbling into Dennis's collections was like a tour through a museum for her.She turned to him sharply, her face contorted into a deep curiosity"Some of these artefacts were rumoured to be lost for years; how did you get all these?" Yura asked with a piercing concern."You don't seem like a collector. So where did you get them from?"Just then, Dennis's phone conveniently rang, saving him from having to answer the question. In truth, he wa

"I'm sorry. Did I hear you say no?" Yura asked, appalled and watched as he walked away. She stopped midstride briefly, trying to discern why he would give up on such an amazing opportunity. Lord Duncan was the wealthiest man in the city; anyone would be lucky to work for him, especially with how much he paid his workers.Yura allowed a few moments to pass and then went after Dennis"You've not even heard the details of the job," she reasoned, hoping to sway his mind"And I don't need to," Dennis riposted sharply A scoff escaped Yura's mouth. If she didn't know better, she would've thought Dennis was playing hard to get, so they would offer him more benefits and higher pay.Yura had to admit, he was driving a tough bargain so far. And come to think of it, he wasn't a typical doctor, a man with gifts such as he deserved to be paid much higher.She looked at him and decided to play along. Yura smiled faintly, hastened towards him and grabbed his hand"One million dollars a month", she

Dennis headed towards the toolshed in his backyard. He checked his watch and saw that it was 5 p.m.According to the books he read while on the island, the setting sun provided energy that was in sync with the rise of the moon. Practicing the special arts at this moment meant that one was at the peak of their energy field.Dennis House in Glendale had an outdoor toolshed a few metres away from the house, connected by a paved pathway with lush and green vegetation.Having been away for three years, these eddishes had overgrown, creating narrow walkway-like hedges to the toolshed.Dennis found this the perfect place to perform Jangi. The toolshed had an overhead glass roof, exposing it directly to the energy of the sun and the moon.As he walked through the narrow pavement, the droplets of rain formed a bubble around him, and the puddles on the ground were pushed away by the energy exuding him.

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!

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.
