Dennis smiled as he uttered softly "Someone you shouldn't have crossed"At this time, Joey snapped out of his shock and rushed towards his gun, but just as he made it there, his eyes settled on a pair of black bootsSlowly lifting his gaze, his eyes settled on Dennis and it seemed like he was staring at the face of the devil himselfBefore Dennis could react, Tim opened another shot. This time Dennis swiftly lifted Joey with one arm, using him as a human shieldThe bullet struck his stomach and the horrifying shock of what he had done, weakened Tim's knees. He immediately dropped to the floor, crawling towards Joey, and groveled at Dennis's feet, visibly terrified.He didn't even try to kill Dennis anymore "Joey, I'm so sorry" he sobbed bitterly"I didn't mean to, it was an accident" the man tried to explain, quickly removing his shirt and pressing it over the bullet wound to stop the blood from flowing outJoey coughed and huffed in pain, spitting out blood from his lips. The bullet

Rico glared at Dennis, then turned towards the guards and ordered "Bring them in!"Immediately, four men rushed out of the room and after a few moments returned pushing two stretchersRestricted by a tight leather strap, Kuza was rolled into the room. Shortly after she escaped and called Dennis, she was caught trying to sneak into the research lab and rescue the other prisonerLuckily she was still needed for the final phase of the experiment and was thus bound and returned to her cellUpon seeing her, Dennis's pupils shrank in pain. He quickly hurried towards her but was blocked by the guards "Give me the vial" Rico sneeredDennis glanced at her and replied "Not until I've confirmed that she is alright, and also seen the other prisoner"Rico sighed heavily and said "Mr Apollo, it seems you have not realized that I can take that vial from you at any time. You are not in any place to be making negotiations, I'll advise you not to tempt me"Dennis swiftly raised his hand, holding the v

Taking the bait, Rico sneered at Dennis and dashed towards him, getting trapped in the energy markingsUpon seeing that their master was trapped, the guards cocked their guns and opened fire. However, just then, Elder Akio put up an energy barrier, blocking their bulletsDennis approached Rico confidently and stopped in front of him "I told you I was going to kill you" he said with an evil glareRico stared at Dennis in disdain and then started laughing menacingly "I admire your confidence Mr Apollo. Do you really think that a simple energy barrier can hold me?" He asked and then started exuding a great outburst of energy, breaking the force in the barrierDennis's eyes widened in shock as he watched Rico break loose. Petrified, the man clenched his fist, and swung his hand across landing a heavy blow on his faceSlowly, he approached Dennis, towering over him as he glared at him. In an impulsive fit, Kuza lunged at him but before she could land a single punch, Rico grabbed him by th

Dennis had a calm expression on his face and he smiled as he replied "Under arrest?" "I don't think you're aware of who I am Officer...?""Brady... Alex Brady""And yes Mr Apollo, I am acutely aware of who you are," Alex said with a blatant tone"Then you must know that you're just wasting your time arresting me," Dennis said smuglyAlex stared at Dennis with a cold expression on his face as he replied "I know the influence and power you wield in this city. All your connections to the Mayor's office, police departments, underground mobs, everything Mr Apollo", At that point Dennis was stunned and the smile on his face slowly disappearedHe realized that Alex was not just an ordinary inspector, the man had done his research and discovered every network he was connected withIt was no wonder he seemed so confident in arresting Dennis. Meanwhile, the other officers surrounded Dennis immediately and Alex shifted his gaze to them "We've been watching you for a long time, Mr Apollo, you'

As they arrived at the local jail, Alex quickly locked him up and then returned to meet with Victor at his office and, reconvene on the plan"Alex, I need you to keep Mr Apollo here for as long as possible. Our contact's asking us to meet tonight at The Lakeside restaurant, if Mr Apollo refuses to cooperate and give up the deeds to his mother's fortune, we're going to take it from him" Victor spoke in a very menacing toneHowever, before Alex could talk, he quickly interrupted him "Mr Brady, whatever you do, do not put your hands on him while he's in custody. We can't give that little brat any edge over us in court, so whatever he says to bait or trigger you in there, just ignore"Victor was getting increasingly annoyed after Dennis called his bluff, and his brows creased as he spokeNobody had dared to offend him before, not so much a pompous brat like Dennis. He knew that the heir to the Apollo fortune had deep ties and connections, but he was undeserving of such wealthAs his thoug
