As jay made his way over to the construction site on the outskirts of town, he thought through how to make the workers remember him. He could be cruel, that was easy enough. Those day laborers might respect a firm hand. He may be young, but he was still a rich second-generation heir of his family. He figured he could win favor by belittling the foremen in front of his men if he was not being strict on-site safety…Jay paused in his line of thinking and decided “eh, let's just check and see how things are going and go from there”. He had never been one for grand plans.

Jay rounded the corner in his model S5 sports car. While this was not a super luxury car it still cost over $70,000 of the kingdom gold. Most people in this district were lucky to afford a bicycle, let alone a car. As he approached the gate to the site, he noticed there were not the usual EISEN GROUP logos on the fence that was customary for a family construction site. The company never missed an opportunity to advertise… Was cousin Emily really so incompetent that she would not even remember to install the company branding? No wonder his father had wanted him to stop by!

Pulling into the gate, he also saw that the site was totally deserted! What the hell was going on?! Where were all the workers?

Off to the side near what should be the foreman’s onsite office, was a sleek black bike.

 “Foreman! Get your ass out here now!” barked Jay at the top of his lungs.

If the foreman could afford a bike like that, yet sent the workers home early, he was likely skimming money by saving on labor cost! Jay now understood why his father had set him to investigate cousin Emily’s business practices. If he could expose this embezzlement, he would be elevated by his grandfather!

Jay kept looking around the site trying to find anyone who worked there so he could toss his weight around. Finally, he noticed someone scaling the I-beams several stories up.

“Hey! What are you doing here? Where is the foreman?” jay hollered, wondering why anyone would do something so unsafe.

Andrew frowned… of course he could hear the annoying boy even from up here, he just simply did not care.

‘Do you think he is dumb, or just has not gotten the memo from daddy that this is no longer his site?’ asked Raya.

‘Likely just behind on news, Jackson should have done everything on the up and up. The contract and deed work came through first thing this morning. They moved the work crew to a new site… maybe he just came to the wrong site by mistake.’ Thought Andrew.

To Jay's astonishment, the man who was climbing on the I-beams, 4 stories up, decided to slide down rapidly and leaped off the structure while still over two stories up! He landed in a tight roll with little effort and casually strode toward him.

“Where is your foreman?” jay asked again.

“Sorry, there is no foreman here.”

“What do you mean there is no foreman? Of course, there is a foreman, these sites always have a foreman, take me to yours at once!” shouted Jay

“I am sorry, I am not sure which site you are looking for but there is no foreman here,” said Andrew a bit perplexed.

“Do you have any idea who I am? I will have you fired this instant! You and all your workers are nothing but a bunch of lazy day laborers who are all slacking off again! This site should have been finished a month ago!” Jay steamed at Andrew.

‘Dam rich kids, think they can boss anyone around. And the sad thing is the less money they really have the more they try to toss it around.’ Thought Andrew.

Clearly, this guy thought this was some construction site that his company manages…. Had Andrew forgotten to remove a sign?

Andrew began to see what was going on and tried to explain.

“I am sorry sir. No, I don’t know who you are but, if you are here from Eisen company, this site no longer belongs to them.”

“Don’t know me hu? Well, I will tell you! I am Jay Eisen, heir of Eisen Group! You think I don’t know my own sites! I was here last month! If you don’t get your foreman out here right now, you are fired!” screamed Jay Eisen.

“Kid, I am going to give you some advice, and you need to listen really well,” said Andrew beginning to lose his patients. “This site now belongs to the Fire Dragon Corp. Not EISEN group inc. So, before you keep yelling, you might want to think about what you are getting into,” said Andrew.

Andrew had no desire to be the face of anything, so he had asked Jackson to for a business group that would be the face of anything he did. Jackson had people who could run the day-to-day things, with nudges from him when he needed or wanted something done. So long as Andrew was working in Placida, he would do most of his business under Fire Dragon Corp, and let Anika be the main face of such a corporation.

Fire Dragon Corp? Jay paused for a minute… had he heard of that corps before? Something flashed in his mind about a powerful new corporation that was working the area and had large amounts of cash to accomplish anything they wanted. But how could such a corporation have taken over their site without him knowing?

“Are you just trying to muscle your way onto our site? Thinking you can just take over by force?” jay bellowed.

‘what is with this kid? Does he have brain damage?’ thought Andrew.
