The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Yielded
Everyone went silent while they kept their eyes on Jason who refused to let go of his smile. He stared at Milo for a few seconds, and then he took a step closer to him. Milo’s breath shook, and he continued to look at Jason who stood a few inches in front of him. He could feel an intense tension creeping inside him, and his heartbeat became more aggressive with each passing moment. “I see what you tried to do there, Milo. You just tried to deny the fact that you didn’t give Mr. Chang and his friends the job to poison Lord Walker….” Jason said calmly, and when t the look on Milo’s face changed to confirm his words, he nodded in satisfaction. “There it is, the guilt that has exposed you. You know, Milo. We do not have full control of our emotions, especially when we find ourselves in very extreme situations such as this. Your Asian friends have already given us all the information we need, and I guess you still haven’t found out that we had them in our custody a while ago.”Milo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Dead old man
The look on Milo’s face showed so much reluctance to speak, and he remained mute while his breath was still unstable. He wanted to remain that way, but Jason and the guards behind him reminded him with hand gestures of what was going to happen if he didn’t do what he was asked to do. “Milo? What the hell is this? Did you call me to be mute like a dead man?”“I am sorry, Mr. D! I am so sorry!” Milo said with a shaky voice, staring at the screen of the phone while everyone remained calm. “What’s this all about? Out with it already!”“Okay! Okay!” Milo was about to say the words he was asked to say to his boss, but the thought of what could happen to him later made him stutter, and he remained quiet until James moved a step toward him with a ferocious look on his face. “What the hell, Milo? Did anything happen at the bunker?” “No! No, boss! The bunker is fine! Everything is fine!”“Then why the fuck did you call me? Huh?”“The old man! Yes! The old man! He is dead! We kille
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Going as Planned
Jason felt a cringe in his legs, and he decided to sit down on his bed while he kept his phone on his right ear. “I take it that you have finally decided to be part of the Formidable officially, Albert!”“Yes, Mr. Hernandez! I am ready!” Jason retorted at once while he looked around him as though he was searching for something. “That’s great news, Albert! You should come, this is the perfect time for me to introduce you to the rest of us! You will meet Mr. D!”“Really?”“Yes, Albert! I have told you a lot about him and how you can really be beneficial to us, and I think he is hoping to meet you.” Philip said with a low tone while Jason nodded in satisfaction, glad that everything was working out naturally. “I am grateful for this opportunity, Mr. Hernandez, thank you so much for this!”“You don’t need to mention, Albert! I will send you a location at once, make sure you are here in less than two hours. I will make the introductions myself at the end of the meeting. Understoo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Mere Coincidence
Brenda walked into the room with her black box tightly held in her left hand. The look on her face wasn't as bright as always, and that was the first thing Jason noticed about her, but he decided to remain calm. “Hello, Lord Walker.” “Is that my future Granddaughter-in-law? Brenda dear! Come, come!” Lord Walker gestured to Brenda to hurry up with a smile which she managed to force herself to reciprocate. “How are you doing?” Brenda asked the old man who nodded with his smile intact and continued staring at her pleasantly. “I am just going to drop this here. Jay? Could you help me with that?” Brenda pointed at the glass of water on the stool while Jason quickly grabbed it with both hands, allowing her to drop her box before she quickly opened it. “Tell me, Lord Walker. Has there been any changes to your body? Anything unusual?” She brought out her stethoscope and inserted the earphones into her ears before moving closer to Lord Walker who couldn’t stop admiring her beauty.

They spent over thirty minutes on the road, but Jason didn’t mind, as long as they were going to eventually get to their destination which was getting him closer to his plans. It was a hotel, one of the finest in the city, and from the look of things, there were not so many guests in the hotel as the cars parked outside the premises could be counted effortlessly without stress. “Thank you, James.” Jason said as soon as he got out of the car, and then he looked around the vicinity of the hotel for a few seconds before he sighed softly. As soon as he began to walk to the entrance of the hotel, Janes and the other guard followed him at once, and they moved slowly but steadily until they got to the hall after going through the elevator. On their way up, they met some men leaving the hotel, and without being told, Jason was certain that they were there for the meeting he was told about. “Albert! You are here right on time!” Philip Hernandez appeared from the hall alongside Larry Ba
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Adele
With the glasses on the table filled with liquor, Dalton gestured to everyone to grab theirs, and they all drank except for Jason who sniffed the drink and kept the glass back on the table with a chuckle, pretending to have drank from the glass. He looked at the three men seated at the table with him, and all he could think of was the perfect way to get back at them for what they did to his Grandfather. “So tell me, Albert…” Dalton broke the silence in the room after taking a sip from his glass of liquor. Jason waited to hear what he had to say, but it seemed like he was a slow-talker. “Are you married? Do you have someone you intend to marry?” Dalton grabbed his glass of liquor again and drank from it until it was almost finished. He gestured to the guard standing behind him who hurriedly poured more liquor from the glass for him. “I wasn’t expecting that.” Jason chuckled while he looked at the three men one after the other, and saw that they were very interested to know the

Adele went into Jason’s car, and they drove off at once while her bodyguard drove behind them in her car. She led them to a nice club located not very far from the hotel. “Do you come here often?” Jason asked after observing the place for a while. “Not really! I have only been here once and I think the only thing that impressed me about them was their cocktail!” Adele responded with a loud tone, trying to make sure Jason heard her amidst the loud music that boomed from the big speakers in the club. With the three bodyguards walking behind them, they walked to the bar where they sat on the stools. Adele refused to admit the fact that she really admired Jason, and each time he tried to look at her, she looked away in order not to be caught staring. Adele dropped her phone on the cabinet, and Jason stared at it for a few seconds before he cleared his throat and looked at her with a smile on his face. The three guards who were with them stood at strategic points close to them, r
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Coincidental
Jason looked at Brenda for a while, unable to find the right response to give to him. At that moment, he became a bit nervous, and couldn’t even deny everything she said. “Where are you coming from, Jay? Who were you with?” Brenda’s curiosity lingered, and even though she looked at the cradle to be sure that Henry hadn't wake up, she still returned her inquisitive stare to Jason who took in a deep breath which he let out slowly in an attempt to get a grip on himself. “I promise you, it’s not what you think.” “But I didn’t say anything, Jay. Did I? Huh?”“No, Brenda,” Jason said calmly while Brenda continued giving him a deep stare with her eyebrows lifted to form a furrow. “Okay, here is the thing.” Jason grabbed her hand, and even when she dragged it away, he grabbed it again and held onto it with a tighter grip. “So I went to see some very dangerous people, the people who tried to hurt my Grandpa. Then I went to the club with the daughter of one of them. I swear, nothing
