The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Delayed
Jason paused for a while, and then he looked at Elsa, and seeing the determination in her to make fun of him at the reunion, he chuckled slightly, causing her to wonder what was so funny. “Yeah, I am sure. I will be there.” “Great! I look forward to seeing you then, I am sure everyone will be excited to see you.” “Right,” Jason said softly and said Elsa moved to Lincoln who grabbed her waist and pulled her to himself, while the two of them chuckled almost at the same time, trying to hide their mocking stares at Jason, but he already understood what they were doing, and had his own plans of retaliation. “I really have to go now, it was nice seeing you Elsa, and you too Lincoln.” “Don’t be in a hurry man,” Lincoln said, wedging his right hand in front of Jason, to stop him from leaving. Almost immediately, he put his right hand into his pocket and brought out a twenty-dollar bill which he handed over to him. “Here, you can use this to pick a cab, I am sure that you planned o
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Meeting
“That’s okay, Young Master. You are here now.” Gregory said, getting up from his seat as soon as he saw Jason approaching. “Thank you for agreeing to see me under such short notice, I am grateful,” Jason said extending his right hand to have a handshake with Gregory who shook his hand without hesitation, smiling at the same time. “Please, have a seat,” Gregory said, pointing at the seat in front of Jason after he had withdrawn from the handshake. Jason moved to the wooden seat and sat down slowly, looking at the files on the table. “What do you have for me, Greg?” He asked, as soon as the Attorney sat down on the seat next to him, which was also very close to the table in front of them. “Gregory adjusted his white suit, and then he cleared his throat, picked up one of the blue files, and handed it over to Jason who took it at once. “Those are some of the things I was able to come up with, I hope they help with it,” Gregory said, pointing at the blue file that he handed ove
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Rivalry
Jason was patient, that was one question that had lingered in his mind, and he was determined to find out everything about it, he wasn’t going to leave any stone unturned. Gregory looked at Jason, and it was very obvious that he was patient and eager to hear what he was going to say. “Dave was really a successful man. At a very young age, he had acquired so much wealth that only a few people his age could be able to acquire. Surely he must have had people who were envious of him, to have wanted him dead.” “So this means that he had a lot of enemies.” “Well, you could put it that way. There was no outright challenge or anything that could entail provocation, but I am sure that some of those who felt challenged by his success would have wanted to get him out of the way.” “Hmm,” Jason mumbled with a low tone, and then he sighed heavily, and placed his right hand underneath his chin, balancing his head with it, while he drifted into a short period of thinking. While he was at

Jason stood up almost immediately, and the Attorney joined him, holding onto the two files in his hands. “See you, Gregory,” Jason said, extending his hands for a handshake, while Gregory brought forward his right hand as well, and they shook. “I should see you to the outside of the building.” “Oh no, that won’t be necessary, I am sure you have some other things of importance to do, I will see myself out,” Jason said, putting his hand toward the Attorney in a gesture that showed he was satisfied. “If you say so.” “Yeah. Have a nice day.” “You too,” Gregory said while he maintained a smile on his face, as he watched Jason walk through the door, and toward the car parked in front of the building. “So much like his father.” He said with a whisper, as soon as Jason was out of sight, with a smile of admiration on his face. A few seconds later, he sighed heavily, and then he turned to his right and went into the next room, walking with slow but steady steps. Jason unlocked
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Conglomerate
Jason’s voice was resonant and had traces of strong determination laced in it, but that didn't stop the middle-aged man from giving in to the worry in his mind. “Are you really sure about this? This could really be dangerous.” “I know, that is why it has to be a secret between the two of us, no one has to know about my existence till all of this is over.” “And the workers? The bodyguards? We can’t trust them to be silent.” “Mm?” Jason mumbled softly, thinking about the words that the butler said. “You have a point, Harry. Let me think…” For a few seconds, Jason silently thought about the situation, and when an idea came to his mind, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Harry who had been waiting for him to speak. “I will stay at my father’s safe house, I don’t think anyone could be really suspicious about it.” Harry sighed, he thought about Jason’s decision, and he didn’t seem really convinced that it was a good idea. “I will have to get more men to guard
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
