The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Contract
Flipping over the documents in the large file, Jason saw several lists of the establishments belonging to his family, and the details, including the managers, some of the significant workers, and so many other details. There were also records of all the establishments they had dealings with and copies of some of the contracts attached to them. “Palmer Pharmaceuticals?” Jason asked with his eyes open, pointing at the documents he had flipped to. “Your Grandfather used to be business partners with the late Lord Richard Palmer. He helped him with most of the funds he needed to start up his establishments.” Harry said at once, walking up to Jason who looked surprised. “This contract is meant to last till the end of next month, it is stated here.” “Yes, Young Master. Do you want me to terminate the contract immediately?” “No, Harry. That won’t be necessary, I think I have better plans for them.” Jason chuckled, and then he continued to look at the details of the contract, mak
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Lifestyle
He nodded in satisfaction, lifted the notepad, and after a few seconds of staring at the words he had written, he chuckled softly and returned the notepad to the table, placing the pen on top of it. “Let’s see what we have here!” Taking the large black file from his lap, and placing it on the table, he adjusted himself on the seat and continued going through it, meticulously reading the details of every page he flipped open. He took notes of several details that interested him and made sure that he got the names of some of the notable managers and workers in some of the establishments belonging to his father, especially those in Granada Hills, and around. Jason spent several hours in the room, and by the time he checked the time on his wristwatch, he realized that he was way past the time he had planned to spend there. “Shit! It’s past seven, I didn’t even realize that I had spent so much time here.” He sighed heavily, and then he slowly got up from the chair and covered t

Finally, he picked up the Christian Dior Sauvage bottle of perfume and sprayed it on his neck and wrists. The sweet fragrance hit his nose, and he nodded in satisfaction. He took a glance at his reflection in the mirror in the wardrobe, and then he picked up a wristwatch, his phone, and the sheets of paper inside the pocket of the trousers he had put on previously, and put them inside the pocket of the new trouser. He put on the wristwatch and left the room, shutting the door behind him. “Good Evening, Young Master.” “Oh, hello. Joe right?” “Yes Young Master, I came to tell you that dinner is ready.” “Oh, I will be right behind you.” The young man with a toque on his head bowed slightly, and then he left for the staircase with Jason walking slowly behind him. They continued to walk until they got to the dining hall, with Harry standing in wait. “You look really good, Young Master!” “Thank you, Harry,” Jason said with a smile on his face, while Harry reciprocated f
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Villa
“Are you okay, Young Master?” Harry asked after a few minutes they started heading to their destination. Without saying a word, Jason turned to look at Harry, and after a few seconds, he looked away and faced the window of the moving car. Harry thought he was unusually quiet, and the look he saw on his face confirmed his thought. Jason was silent for a few seconds, and then he turned to look at Harry who was still staring at him with a little concern. “Harry?” “Yes, Young Master.” “My father. Was he a bad man? Did he get involved in any shady business or deal?” Harry was silent. At first, he thought the young man was not in his right senses for asking such a question, but the look on his face debunked the idea he had in his mind. “Harry?” Jason said with a low tone, taking the middle-aged man off his thoughts. “You haven’t answered my question,” Jason said with the same tone, but Harry pushed for a while before he started to respond to the question. He looked at th
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Line of Kings
Seeing the structure of the huge white luxurious Grand villa, Jason could only gasp in shock, it had an ancient look, yet blended into the features of a modern villa. The gardens surrounding it were marvelous, well-groomed with different kinds of flowers in them. He could see a tall statue of a man standing right in the middle of the villa. The statue was made of bronze and stood over twenty feet. The man had a helmet on his head, and a sword drawn from the sheath strapped to his waist, resting comfortably in his right hand. He held onto a large shield and positioned himself like he was about to attack someone with his swords, roaring in valor at the sensation of war. “Who is that?” Jason asked as soon as he had taken a few seconds to glance at the tall statue, not able to withstand the pressure mounted on him by his curiosity. “That is King Edward Walker, the ruler of the ancient Granada Hills, and the first king who passed on the mantle of leadership to his sons until the tw
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Countdown
In less than a minute, the elevator took them to the top floor, and as soon as the doors opened widely after the chime sound, they got out with Harry leading the way, they walked through the hallway until they got to a door at the right end. Harry went into the room after opening the door which was halfway open already, before Jason followed suit at once, looking at his Grandfather who was lying down on a bed at the right corner of the room. The nurse was standing beside him, and checking his vitals, while two out of the six bodyguards who had taken him up stood at a corner. “Is he okay?” Jason asked, causing the Doctor to turn at once to see him walking up to her. She removed the stethoscope from her ear, balanced it on her ear, and then took a short look at the old man who was breathing slowly on the bed. “He is fine, but he needs the antidote as soon as possible. His body can no longer handle this.” “But I thought you said he had a few months left.” Brenda sighed heavil

Harry paused for a while, and then he gave in eventually to the demands made by Jason, and sighed softly. “If you insist. Goodnight, Young Master.” “Goodnight, Harry. See you tomorrow.” Jason responded with a soft smile, and then he looked away from Harry and returned his gaze to his Grandfather, still holding onto his hand. After taking one long look at Jason, Harry sighed again, and then he looked at the old man before he walked slowly out of the room, shutting the door behind him. “You too, you can have your rest. I will be here with him.” Jason said softly to the bodyguards by his right, turning to look at them. They looked at Jason and then turned to look at each other, not sure if they were to abandon their duty or not. “Don’t worry, I will handle things from here. I am sure you must really be tired.” The men looked at him for a while, with countenances that showed that they didn’t want to go, even though he insisted. “Go on! Go!” Jason urged with a loud tone, ca
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Time
Jason mumbled, as his eyes opened gradually, until his blurry vision became really clear. He had fallen asleep on the chair while keeping watch over his Grandfather. “Good morning, Young Master.” Harry greeted as soon as he pushed the door open, and walked into the room to see Jason seated on a seat. “Good morning, Harry. Hope you slept well.” “Sure. Thank you.” Jason tried to get up, but his body was weak, and some parts around his waist ached due to the posture he was in while he slept. “I have some news about the inquiry you asked me to make.” Hearing those words from the butler, Jason blinked his eyes severally and stretched his hands slowly, as he tried to understand what he was talking about. “What inquiry?” He asked, as he managed to get up from the chair, and turned to look at the butler who was standing behind him. “The car auction.” “Oh, what about it?” Jason asked at once, his entire attention was drawn to the middle-aged man standing in front of him, who
