The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Blood Needed
Without the Butler saying even a word, Jason and his Grandfather could tell that he was really worried about something. “What is it, Harry? What happened?”“It’s my wife, Young Master! She’s been in an accident!”“What? That’s terrible! How? When did this happen?” Jason got up from his seat at once, still looking at the Butler who was too tense to speak at once. “I need to go now! My daughter just sent the address it the hospital!” Harry said with a shaky voice, and then he hurried out of the house. “This is not good. I hope she gets better.” Lord Walker said calmly, feeling so much sympathy for Harry who was already out of the building in less than a minute. The Butler got into one of the cars parked in front of the building and zoomed off, leaving the guards shocked to see him in so much anxiety. Meanwhile, Jason had already forgotten that he was having a discussion with his grandfather. He looked at the closed door for a few seconds, and when he wasn’t satisfied with th
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Both Stable
Slowly, Jason lifted his face to look at what James was showing him. The sight of his foster parents in an interview on the same television channel made him lean forward. “I almost forgot about that.” He said with a whisper, eyes still on the television. Just like he had told them, Jason’s foster parents countered the words they had written earlier, stating that they had told a lie. They asked the public for forgiveness with the excuse that they were forced to do it because they needed money. “That’s good of them, at least they have some conscience,” James whispered, turning to look at Jason who scoffed at once. “Right. They did this because they were left with no choice. I paid them a visit.” “Oh. I thought they just decided to do this on their own.” James said, still looking at Jason who shook his head in response. “I hope they have learned their lessons.” Jason said only to his hearing before he turned to look at Harry who had his mind occupied with thoughts about his w

Jason looked around to be sure that Lord Walker was really inside his room. He moved to the bathroom door and knocked twice. “Grandpa? Are you in there?” He listened to know if he was going to hear anything from inside the bathroom, but there was nothing. “Jay? Is he in there?” Brenda walked into the room as well, moving toward Jason whose countenance was enough to give her a response. “Grandpa?” Jason opened the bathroom door and looked around. He got out as soon as he realized that the old man was not inside the bathroom. “His wheelchair is missing. I think he left.” Brenda pointed out, causing Jason to look to confirm her words. “Where could he have gone?” “Maybe he is downstairs, Jay? I think we should look for him downstairs.” Brenda suggested and they hurried down at once. They checked everywhere, and after several minutes of moving without seeing Lord Walker, they hurried out of the building. “Hey? Come!” Jason summoned one of the guards who ran to him at once.
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Can't Shoot
The tension in the vicinity was beginning to rise. It was obvious that the possibility of things getting very messy was high. It seemed as though the air had been polluted by a perspective violence that was evident on the faces of all the guards standing with their hands ready to grab their weapons. Taking in a deep breath, Jason gently moved Xavier aside after making sure that he had regained his balance. “Are you okay?” He asked the teenager who nodded without being able to utter even a word. He was obviously scared, and the sweatballs that ran down his face were enough to quench his thirst. “Stay here, don’t make any move.” Jason handed Xavier over to one of the guards who moved closer to him as soon as he saw his hand gesture. He took a quick glance at the car Brenda was seated in, but the only thing he could see was a tinted windshield and nothing else. Returning his gaze to Baron, he saw that the old man looked ready for some bloody action, but that didn’t seem like pa
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Injured Walker
A loud whirring sound followed the gunshot, followed by a silence that lingered for a few seconds. Jason kept his eyes on the muzzle of the gun he refused to bring down, watching as smoke slowly moved into the air. He had a smirk on his face and turned to look at Ramon who was forced to move closer, thinking that the old man was dead. “Get up! Now!” Jason commanded, eyes on Baron who thought that his life was over. “Get up, Baron! Now!” “Okay! Okay! Don’t shoot!” Baron got up from the floor at once, lifting both hands in full surrender. He had lost every aspect of his valor, and he couldn’t dare to prove stubborn for any other reason. Turning back cautiously, he took a quick glance at the couch with a bullet hole in it, the same one that was meant for his face. He forgot at that heated moment that he important that furniture with a lot of money, glad that the bullet didn’t burst his brain instead. “I didn’t miss, Baron. That was just to teach you a lesson. The next one wil
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hidden Existence
Pacing around restlessly from one corner of the waiting room to the next, Jason struggled with his anxiety, unable to stop his heart from tromping violently. Apparently, the media had gotten a hint of the incident, and many viral posts had been made on the internet about the fact that Lord Walker was rushed into the hospital. No one knew the reason behind the injuries all over his body, and that made curiosity spark in most of the post while some bloggers assumed it must have been a domestic accident. “How did they get this picture?” Jason whispered as soon as he saw one of the many posts on the internet. But he only stared at his phone for a few seconds before returning it to the hallway which led to the particular ward where his Grandfather was kept. He grunted in annoyance and put his phone into his pocket at once, ignoring all the attention the incident was getting. It was very obvious that some of the people in the hospital and around its premises were talking about the inc

Without paying mind to Xavier who was still worried about his mother and wanted to know where she was, Jason hurried to Brenda who looked like she needed to take a break, sweatballs all over her face. “How is he? Is he gonna be okay?” Jason asked at once while Harry stood next to him, waiting to get a response. “We managed to keep him alive, Jay. But he has lost a lot of blood. This is bad, really bad, he just got out of a serious situation.” Brenda said with a serious tone. Her words hit Jason like a canon, and he came to the realization that things could get out of hand. “What do we do, babe? I can’t lose my Grandpa!”“Pray, Jay. You need to pray very hard.” Brenda retorted at once, her eyes showing intense fear and concern at the same time. She was too occupied with attending to the old man that she didn’t take note of the bloodstained all over her body. Jason’s jacket and blue shirt were also stained with Lord Walker’s blood, sparing only his pants and shoes. He stared at
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Moment of Truth
Shirley who heard the mention of his son’s name turned instantly, her eyes widened in excitement as soon as she saw her son Xavier. A loud but faint gasp left her at once. “Xavier? Is that you?” She asked with a shaky voice, struggling to push herself up, ignoring the pain she felt in her body. “Take it easy.” Harry quickly rushed to help her, but it didn’t look like she was worried about herself at that moment. All that mattered was the fact that Xavier was back to her alive and healthy. The young man was only able to stand close to the door after he managed to walk into the ward, unsure of how to face his mother who was confused by his behavior. “Why is he still standing there?” She asked Harry who was silent, causing her to look at Jason almost immediately. But she didn’t get any response from either of them. “Xavier? Come to your mother. Come on!” Shirley reached out to him, but he was still so reluctant until Jason urged him to go to her. “Go ahead, Xavier. It’s okay.

Lost Empire
Even though James knew that Jason was very angry at that moment, he never thought that he was going to be willing to retaliate against Baron for what he did to Lord walker. However, he had seen a side of Jason which seemed to be hidden from them for a long time. He never knew he had such powerful reflexes but was convinced that there was more to him after how he handled the Mafia Lord. “Are you sure about this, Young Master? I am sorry, but waging a war against Baron could draw a lot of attention. I am not sure if we need that kind of attention in this city at the moment.” “I don’t care, James! Make the call. Gather all the men we gave and tell them to meet me here at once, no one should be missing! Do it now!” Jason ordered, causing James to bow before he pulled out his phone and made the call. Jason called Rogers as well, and he appeared with some other man before the men James called were able to come to the hospital vicinity. There were over twenty cars all over the plac

Turning to look at Brenda, Jason walked toward her with an inquisitive expression on his face. Her countenance made him a bit worried as he wasn’t really sure of the reason why she looked like that. “Babe? What’s going on?” He asked but Brenda remained silent.“How is Grandpa? Is he okay?”Brenda remained silent, creating more suspense in the air. Jason’s heart had already started pounding frantically against his heartbeat while he stared at Brenda, waiting to hear what she had come to tell him. “You are making me scared, babe. What’s going on?” “I am sorry, Jay. I have bad news.” Brenda finally said, looking very sad and exhausted at the same time. Her words hit Jason really hard, sending great fear into his nerves. “Is he…?” He couldn’t complete the words he had in mind, wary of the fact that that was one of his greatest fears. Losing the old man was going to come as a great shock and he wasn’t sure he was ready for it. The fact that Brenda said nothing made it more diff
Deserving
Jason knew that the young man was going to be very disappointed if he told him the exact truth about his father’s location. He could probably not understand even if he tried to explain to him, so he chose to tell him something else. “Xavier?” He glared his throat twice before he continued, unaware that Harry was back to the room with a smile of relief on his face. “It’s not that simple, okay? I can’t really take you to see your father at the moment because of everything that has happened. But I promise to take you to see him as soon as I have this sorted out.” Xavier bent his face in disappointment. That wasn’t the kind of response he had anticipated to hear, but it didn’t look like he had any other choice but to be patient until it was time to see his father. He only wished that things weren’t the way they were, especially with Lord Walker’s life at stake. “That’s a promise, Xavier. I will take you to see your father as soon as I have all of this sorted out, okay?” Jason said
