The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Warehouse
Jason felt a great relief as soon as those words from Harry’s mouth hit his ears, but not as much as Irene who felt the tension in her body leaving her gradually, as she looked at Harry, gasping at the feeling in her. “We leave at once, Harry.” “Yes, Young Master,” Harry responded with a slight bow and was about to turn toward the exit of the lobby when a thought came to his mind, causing him to stop and turn to Jason. “What do we do about them?” He asked, pointing at the two ladies. Jason looked at them for a few seconds, and as usual, they bent their faces when they saw that he was about to look at them. “They will remain here until we are back. Get some of the men outside to be with them and make sure they don’t leave.” “Please, Sir. My son, I need to see him.” Irene said with a shaky tone, looking at Jason, as tears trickled down her face. Jason looked at her for a few seconds, trying to deal with the feelings inside of him, one urged him to oblige her, and the other

When he was certain that it was the bodyguard, Jason sighed, and then he opened the door to the front door and alighted from the car. Every other person inside the car also came down, except the driver who turned off the ignition of the car and remained seated. When the other bodyguards in the black car behind the white car saw that Jason and Harry were out of the car, they alighted immediately and moved toward them, standing at both sides. Bruce walked up to Harry, while Irene looked at him, as though she was attempting to read his mind. The thought of her son’s safety lingered in her mind, making her restless. “What’s the update, Bruce?” “We were able to capture three of the men in the building, but the other tried to escape. We had to shoot him.” “And the boy?” Jason asked as soon as Bruce responded to Harry’s question. Hearing those words, Irene waited anxiously to hear what response Bruce was going to give, as her heart continued to pound heavily against her ribs. “
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Who is Mr. D?
The man whimpered at the sight of the gun pressed against his head, and he shivered and prepared to divulge all the information he knew, not minding the looks he got from his partners. “Well, go on, Bruce doesn’t seem to be very patient as you can see,” Harry said to the man, causing him to attempt to look at Joe from his side eye, but the moment he saw the gun he was holding, he removed his eyes, and shivered again. “What is your name?” Jason asked, amidst the silence that had crept into the space, causing the man to look at him, while he inhaled enough air, and exhaled sharply, before giving an answer to his question. “Kai, Sir.” “Well, Kai, I want to know, who sent you?” Jason asked, but the man looked at the rest of his partners who shook their heads in an attempt to dissuade him from giving an answer to the question. He has wanted to oblige them, but the fear of losing his life made him rethink. “Well, it seems our friend here proffers to please his friends than to kee
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Confession
Harry glued his eyes to the transaction details on the screen for a few seconds, but he couldn't recognize the name that appeared on the screen. “No, Young Master.” He said to Jason with a tone a little louder than a whisper.Jason sighed, and then he turned to Chang who seemed remorseful for bringing his phone along with him, as he groaned inwardly. “Could you be kind enough to tell us who the sender is?” Jason asked Chang, but he refused to speak. “Mr. Chang? I asked a question.” Chang looked at Jason and said nothing as he continued to deal with the little disappointment in his mind. Jason went through the thought in his mind for a few seconds, and when an idea came to his mind, he sighed heavily and chuckled in excitement. “Very well then, it seems we will have to pay Mia a visit, I am sure she will be very excited to see some friends of her father’s.” Hearing those words from Jason, Chang gasped and lifted his face to look at Jason, and when Jason saw that he had g
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Firm Resolution
Harry thought about the question Jason asked for a few seconds, and when an idea came to his mind, he nodded in satisfaction. “Don’t worry, Young Master, I have a safe location.” “Alright, that’s okay,” Jason said, and then he left the spot where he was standing and moved toward the exit of the warehouse. “You, get everything on that table we might be needing them, and do something about that body, leave no traces.” “Yes, Sir.” One of the bodyguards who had followed them to the warehouse said to Harry, and then he left together with his partner. “And you,” Harry said to Irene who gasped and turned almost at once, still carrying his son who seemed a bit calm, unlike the previous time. “You will be coming with us, you will remain with us until the Master decides what he wants to do with you, now move!” Harry ordered, pointing in the direction of the exit of the warehouse, and at once, Irene moved to the exit, without any hesitation. Jason took a careful observation o

Harry sighed softly, and then he looked at Jason who held onto the picture in his hands and had an intense look of strong determination in his eyes. “Boss?” Bruce said, standing right in front of the door, and causing the two men inside the living room to turn to look at him “Everything is set.” “Right in time, Bruce, we will be there shortly,” Harry said to the bodyguard who bowed slowly and left for the back of the house. Harry waited for a few seconds, while his eyes looked at Jason who seemed to have a lot of ideas in his mind. “Shall we?” He said, calling the attention of Jason who seemed to have a lot of things in his mind. Jason looked at him for a few seconds, and then he took in some air and sighed heavily before he dropped the picture on the glass table beside him. “Let’s go, Harry, we are getting the antidote to that poison, no matter what it is going to cost,” Jason said, and without wasting any time, he left for the door, walking as fast as he could out of t

Chang was speechless, at that point, he knew that he had no choice, and there was nothing he could do about the entire situation. “And you two,” Jason said, looking at the two men with him, as they raised their heads, hoping that their fates were going to be manageable. “I suggest you give him all the motivation he needs because if he fails to bring the herb to me in the next three days, you die!” At once, the two men turned to their lefts to look at Chang, but he looked away almost immediately, not eager to see the anxious look on their faces. “Uli jugge nwaduji ma,” Kai said a few seconds later, and Chang was forced to turn around almost immediately to look at him, while Jason and the rest of the men in the room looked at them, wondering what the strange language he spoke meant. “Whatever that means, I hope you don’t fail them,” Jason said, and then he turned to look at Harry for a few seconds before he said to him with a whisper. “Please prepare for them to leave for As
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Urgent
After a few seconds, Jason sighed heavily, and Harry lifted his brows and waited to hear the response he was going to give his question. “Well, that is hardly in my mind, Harry. I think I have had enough experience for a lifetime, and I am not about to have my life messed up by another lady.” “That is understandable, Young Master, but there are a lot of amazing young ladies out there, ladies from notable families, who I am certain would be thrilled to go out on dates with you. Not every girl from a rich home is as bad as your ex-wife.” Harry had hoped to convince Jason with his words, but the look he saw on his face was unexpected, as he saw his expectations crumbling. “Hold that thought, Harry, hold that thought,” Jason said after a few seconds of silence, and then he turned around to look at the path leading to the tunnel. “What do you think we should do with her?” He asked, without looking at anyone as there was no one else around. But Harry knew who he was referring

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
