The sound of the buzzing alarm filled the duo with a sense of looming tension, as both men readied themselves for what was to come.Dean opened a compartment on the roof of the limousine, and pulled out two high-tech headphones.He then connected these headphones to his tablet, and handed one of them to Carlos, while he kept the other.“Alright Carlos, your guy is Andrew Hamilton, Listen to him, and the details of everything he discusses with the Michael Philips” said Dean, gesturing towards Carlos.“Prepare a report of everything you hear, and present it to me once the party is over”“Got it boss” responded Carlos.“I on the other hand, will take on our good friend, Jason Starfire, we're going to have to see the kind of conversation slash deal, he has with Eric Phillips”“I will also prepare a report of what I heard, and pass it on to you once the after party ends”Carlos sighed lightly, so Dean wouldn't notice.He would have personally preferred to Listen in to Jason's conversation

“I see, so you had the armour appraised” said Richard.“Of course I did, why the hell would you think I wouldn't get it appraised?” responded Michael.“Why do you think I left this place after your little stunt during the fundraiser?”“Wait?… you had it appraised today” asked Richard, curious.“No, of course not… getting it appraised was literally the first thing I did” said Michael.“I didn't appraise it at a museum, we all know how that would go, and I would prefer not to have the feds be all up in my business”.Andrew grit his teeth as he heard this.Michael was certainly more experience with dealing in artifacts than he thought.He had greatly underestimated him.But if he couldn't appraise it at a museum, Andrew knew he had to have gone with an alternative choice, a choice that could still give him and his family and advantage.“So where exactly did you get it appraised?” asked Andrew.“I appraised it via some British antique dealer” replied Michael.Andrew almost breathes a high

“JESUS CHRIST UNCLE, PLEASE CALM DOWN!!” yelled Richard, as he tried to take Andrew's hands off his father's collar.Christopher on the other hand, simply sat back, taking small sips of his champagne, and watching the show unfold.“What on earth are you doing Louis, why would you make such an offer, you know we can't afford it?” asked Andrew angrily, as he viscously shook his younger brother.“Yes we can, Andrew” replied Louis, while still being violently shaken.“We might just have to sell a lot more of our assets, and use more of the Imperium contract” added Louis.“You stupid idiot, that could completely ruin us, we will go from an upper middle-class family, to a lower middle-class abomination!” yelled Andrew.“WELL WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ANDREW!!” yelled Louis, as he pushed his brother off of him, and causing him to nearly fall from stumbling on a chair.Richard used this opportunity to come between his father and uncle, doing his very best to ensure their altercation didn't turn i

Jason chuckled at Eric's tempting offer.One thing that he had learnt the hard way, while he ran around the streets of Parlsbury trying to make money, was that if something sounded too good to be true, it definitely was.“You know, at first, I was very excited with the prospect of acquiring the Phillips security building” began Jason.“However, the more I thought about it, the less sense it made to me”“Why would you want to hand me the secrets to the Phillips security building in the first place?” asked Jason.Eric sighed, as he placed his two hands on the table“you're a rich and powerful man Jason, as the CEO of Comet, you have your hands in a lot of powerful places, you are allied with a lot of powerful people, people who can aid me and my family” replied Eric“My family and I are going through some rather troubling times at the moment, as you know things haven't gone as well as they could have with us, and it has led to a lot of unforeseen circumstanc...”“Can you be a little mor

Jason laughed at Eric's obvious bluff, or at least he thought it was bluff, before responding to him.“I don't think so Eric, the reputation of the Phillips security company is in shambles, I honestly do not think there is any reasonable alternative to dissolving the compan...” responded Jason.“With all due respect Jason, I think you're wrong” disagreed Eric.“Really?” asked Jason, rhetorically, as he raised an eyebrow, and folded his hands.“Yes Jason, really… The reputation of the Phillips security building was destroyed, not the reputation of the Phillips security company” rebutted Eric.“I mean, I would have actually believed that, if the Phillips security company, was not completely tied to the Phillips security building” responding Jason.“Remember how you sold that project to Investors, you said it was the next phase of the Phillips security company's evolution, you called it your company's Magnum Opus for crying out loud” added Jason, chuckling lightly.“But what if we could
