Jonah frowned and asked, "What information?"Dennis uttered loudly "I understand the reason you couldn't buy the Rolls Royce is because you're family business is going under the dumps, and you're losing a lot of revenue"Jonah called Dennis's bluff. There was no way anyone here knew his family owned the hotel"You must be mistaken Mr Apollo," Jonah said with a smug faceDennis smirked mischievously and said "Isn't that why you threatened these people that you'd have them kicked out? Your family owns this hotel, don't they?"Jonah's face turned pale, her eyes wide and mouth agape in extreme shock. He could not figure out how Dennis knew that. His family had always kept their ownership of the hotel a secretHe couldn't help it when he uttered shockingly "Ho-how do you know that?" Dennis smiled, walked closer leaned to his ear, and whispered "Cause I just bought the hotel"Judging by the look on Dennis's face, Jonah could not believe him. He knew that the family hotel was struggling, bu

Seeing Jonah bow at his foot, Dennis grinned contemptuously. The guests exchanged curious glances with each other After taking a call, Jonah suddenly knelt in front of the mysterious man. What was going on?Never did they expect that a lowly nobody would have so much power in his hands to make a high-profile man like Jonah bow before himDennis shook his head and said "Jonah Blake, you looked down and treated me like I was trash when you didn't know who I was, now you're at my feet begging me to forgive you?","I'm sorry. I'm sorry Mr Apollo, please forgive me. I didn't mean to insult you, sir. Please just don't fire me. This job is all I have" Jonah pleaded and crouched on the floor, completely stunnedHe didn't dare to resist Dennis's acts to embarrass him. Just then, Diana approached him softly and stared sympathetically at Jonah, Tsk tsk! "Funny how the tables have turned Mr Blake. You invited us here because you thought you could shame and belittle us, but now you're the one o

Dennis understood clearly the subtle message from Diana. She had asked him to choose her over Kuza. He couldn't tell exactly why, but he felt at an impasse now. He knew he'd have to break Diana's heart, but was now hoping he wouldn't have toHe parked his car a few meters from the abandoned bowling building where he was supposed to meet Graham's lawyer and staked out the building for some momentsAt the entrance, we're two guards armed with pistols'This can't be all' Dennis muttered to himself as he stepped out of the car with the luggage and slowly approached the building raising his hands in surrender "Stop!" A male voice echoed in his ears as he got closer"State your business here", he asked but then his colleague tugged his hand gently and pointed to the small screen in his hand"That's him," he said flatly and then turned to Dennis with a staunch expression"Follow me"Dennis smirked, gave a hum, and followed them inside the building. The entire space was vast with ruptured bo

Dennis leaned back on his chair let out a tired sigh, and tried persuasion again"I understand your frustration and why you want to do this, but Mr John, why don't you let me handle this for you, I can get you an increase in your pay. You don't have to work for these men",Judging by his motives, Dennis realized that John's ambitiousness was not fueled with hatred, he only decided to work with Graham for the promise of a higher pay. If he could convince him that he could get Lord Duncan to increase his pay, he was confident he'd be able to persuade John"Think about it John, you're just a disposable tool to these men. Take my offer" Dennis added with a kind and gentle lookHowever, John was annoyed by Dennis's goodwill remark. He snorted in disdain and said "Quit with your bullshit, you're just desperate because I hold all the cards. It's too late Mr Apollo, I'm finally where I'm appreciated and I'm going to make sure you and that old bastard pay",Dennis was disappointed by his remar

Lord Duncan stared at him quizzically, "Is everything okay, Mr Apollo?" He askedDennis smiled warmly and said "Yes Mr Duncan. Remember the plan we had? Well, I just received some new information and this document will help get our friends in Druick Pharmaceuticals off our back",Lord Duncan smiled satisfactorily, picked up a pen, and signedJohn was stunned by his reaction. Partly, he expected the old Lord to growl at Dennis after viewing the contents of the documentAt that point, he tugged Dennis's arm and cleared his throat Dennis sighed and said hesitantly and pointed "Mr Duncan, John here gets credit for this, and I believe he should be rewarded, don't you think?" Lord Duncan glanced at John and couldn't help but be impressed, he suddenly asked "What do you want John?"John froze instantly overwhelmed by the question, subconsciously he knew he did not deserve the accolades or any form of compensation, not after what he almost did. He opened his mouth to speak but could not fin

The video on the screen showed Diana bound with clothing, tied to a chair with several bruises and a beat-up face. However, this was an illusion. Before Dennis left, he knew he had to make Diana's capture believable and used one of the seven chi energies, hynos to cast a believable illusion on Diana, that way anyone who looked at her would see her body covered in bruises, and punch woundsGraham couldn't bear to watch his sister like that any longer and growled at Dennis "What the hell did you do?",Seeing his reaction, a mischievous smirk appeared across Dennis's face, he was right afterall, underneath that cold brute exterior, Graham cared for his sister just as much as he thought"She's safe for now" Dennis snorted indifferently "But if you don't hand over Kuza, I can't guarantee just how safe she'll remain," Dennis said with a vicious glareGraham stared at Dennis coldly. He felt backed into a hole. On one hand, he couldn't let his sister be tortured, on the other if he handed o

Right after signing his signature, Graham received a call from his uncle, Logan Graham refused to answer, not in front of Dennis. This brat had defeated him at every turn, and he could not have him knowing another one of their secrets. It was rather infuriatingOn that note, he stood up and said "We're done here Mr Apollo. I have some other business to attend to", reached into his coat pocket and brought out a piece of paper.Graham's face was pale as a sheet of paper as he wrote down Kuza's address and slid it to himHe did not like being intimidated. Yet, someone since their college days, Dennis had bested him, despite being a miserable and poor loser, and now he dared lay hands on his sister. He was certainly digging his grave. "You'll find her there", he said gritting his teethA taunting smile appeared on Dennis's face as he picked up the paper, raised it, and flipped it in the air "I'll be seeing you, Mr. Finley, you'll have your sister back within the hour" Graham sucked hi

Kuza awoke with a throbbing headache searching around her environment again. As she tried to move, she realized she was still bound to the metal chair and all attempts at escaping were futileSuddenly, she recalled part of Ruelle's training. It was possible to break out of this if she could activate her Chi by self-willShe squinted her eyes and searched the dimly lit room for a telephone, and finally spotted one by the door.Calculating the distance between the door and the chair she was bound to, she surmised that dragging the jagged metal chair across the room would raise alarm, and needed to find a way to break free quietly"Okay Kuza, you can do this. What did Ruelle say? 'Disconnect with your chaos, feel the air as it connects with your skin. The beams of light as they travel across the room, as you focus your mind on the only thing that matters at the moment, yourself.When you feel that energy coursing through your body, allow it to engulf you. That is your Chi you are feeling

The Archives that Dennis asked to see were an old dusty library his mother owned, filled with different healing books, and itemsWhen Dennis heard what the pendant he'd been wearing around his neck unlocks. He knew it was time to visit his mother's time box and face some truth he'd always tried to escape from. Apiu Singh delivered a keycard with a code written on the back, which made Dennis more curious. It seemed his mother held a lot of secrets, all of which only made him more curious about the things she knew and had to hide.When he arrived in the Archive room, he walked around the aisles, running his fingers through the dusty piles of ancient books, varying from bonesetting to acupuncture, almost everything that Elder Akio had taught himIn the corner left section of the room, he found an old picture of her and his heart sank as he picked it up. The more he looked at the picture, the more he became irritated, and without any control, his Chi activated and a gush of wind blasted

Dennis picked up his phone and quickly texted Apiu RE: [I found it. I'll meet you at the Lakehouse, it's time for us to act]And with a confident smile on his face, he walked towards the door, opened it, and headed to his carShortly after he entered his car, his phone chimed up again and a message entered from ApiuRE: [Alright Mr. Apollo. Tell me will you be needing reinforcements?]RE: [Not necessarily, I have something Mr Finley wants, something I'm sure he won't dare to hurt]Dennis shoved his phone back into his pocket and drove towards the lake house. A few minutes after he arrived, a call suddenly entered his phone. "Mr Apollo, I'm just calling to remind you of our agreement. If my sister is not returned by the end of the day today, there will be consequences to pay" Graham threatenedDennis replied instantly with a certain cockiness in his voice "Mr Finley, I don't think you're in a position to be making threats at the moment. I said I'll see you at dinner and then you'll h
