When Jaai stepped on to the rooftop again, he wasn't met by his expectations. He has been preparing his mind for something drastic and eventful, but there was an anticlimax.

The Lady Phoenix was seen walking towards the spotlight in the center of the event area. Jaai stood where he was as soon as he saw her.

For a second, his head was blank. Soon enough, information started rippling like waves in his mind.

Didn't the Lady Phoenix send Ciara to come and ask him for a decision? If that's true,

    "Hi." Jaai said first, then paused for a few seconds. "Hello. Who is this?" A feminine voice said on the other end of the phone. "I saw your number on the internet regarding red gold. So, I decided to call." Jaai added. "Oh. Is that so?" The feminine voice suddenly became familiar to Jaai. "You should call back in a few hours. We are not open to visitors yet."Jaai could tell that there was finality in the tone of the lady. He knew that after this, the call would be hanged at once. "Hold on." Jaai quickly called before the person could hang the call. For some reasons that was best known to him, he pulled the phone away from his ear to look at who the caller was. When he saw who it was, his eyes widened and he gasped. "What the hell, Diane!" Jaai got really angered to find out who it was. "Huh? Who is this? How did you come to know my na---" Diane tripped off all of a sudden. She was silent for a moment. Perhaps on her own end too, she has been able to piece the information tog

    "One more week?" Jaai muttered, trying to replay some of the vital words that Ciara had spilled. "I believe he has three more days to go and then he'll meet with you formally." She paused for moment. "I didn't tell you the exact reason why he had come here. I shouldn't tell you because he has confided in me to keep it a secret, but I don't see myself keeping a secret from you." She paused again. She seemed skeptical about whether or not she wanted to tell him about the secret. It wasn't quite an easy feat to achieve. "He came here because he wanted to see you." She finally let it out. "Because he wanted to see me?" Jaai was getting soaked deeper and deeper into the conversation. "Yes, Boss. He said that he believed that the fact that you decided to reveal yourself to the consortium when he was just about to retire, was a sign. He hoped to make the best of the sign by meeting you finally and telling you something important." She explained. "He wants to tell me something importa

    Jaai stood at the garage, staring at the Mercedes-AMG GT that was drifting away. There was this feeling he was having as he watched the both of them go. He didn't know whether or not it was a good decision to make.But he had come to relieve his worries in the conclusion that the driver whom he had appointed for them was very capable. He would be able to protect them with his life.He had made sure to warn the driver sternly that if anything were to go beyond his powers, he should put an instant call directly to him. That way, he would find a way to solve the problem."Return to your post." He said to the old man who was still standing next to him."Master." The old man bowed to him then walked back to the security post.Jaai felt a need to worry about something obvious, but he didn't want to think about it too much. He wanted to believe that he was overthinking. It might not really be what he thought it was."How could she remember him clearly, and then all of a sudden forget totally

    The little boy didn't hesitate when he heard this. The elderly woman on the other hand was struggling to sustain one feeling at a time. The boy walked towards the cars and started checking them out one after the other. He seemed to have a fancy for luxury cars. His eyes would lit whenever he stopped in front of a monster car. He came to a stop in front of a Mercedes-AMG GT latest model and hotel-style customized. "I like this one." He said in a small voice. Jaai chuckled as he stared at the boy from a distance. Then he picked a pace and walked closer to the boy. The boy didn't for once take his gaze off the car. He seemed to truly love it. "Why do you love it?" Jaai asked, squatting to his level. "When I grow up, I want to look as badass as this car and fuck up those motherfuckers that killed Illian!" The boy gritted his teeth, making his voice sound deeper than it was. "Sebastian!" The elderly woman snapped at the boy. "How many times have I told you to watch your language?"T

    The elderly woman at first was stunned by what Jaai had just said. Although she was the one who had asked to leave, yet she didn't think that Jaai would bluntly tell her to leave. Perhaps she expected him to convince her to stay. She remained standing there for a few seconds, staring at Jaai. In fact, she was yet to hold the handle of the luggage. "Why are you still waiting?" Jaai repeated. At this moment, the woman realised that he wasn't joking. He was truly serious about what he had asked of them. She decided not to feel hurt about it. It was going to happen eventually. On the contrary, Jaai was a man of higher status. Someone like her didn't fall into the category of people who should get to stand in front of him, let alone give him so many hugs. If the man from several years ago didn't come to the orphanage home, there was no chance in the entire world for her to meet someone like Jaai. When she came to discover that Jaai was the owner of Eclipse Grande, she wasn't really su

    "What!" Jaai exclaimed before he could hold himself back. He saw the look of resolution on the faces of the two. They seemed to have come to a conclusion. The look on the woman's face was definite, but the boy looked like someone who was only trying to support her decision. Jaai could tell from the eyes of the boy that he was scared and didn't want to leave a secure place like this. He deduced that the boy must be acting tough to be there for the woman. Such a tiring task for a boy his age. "We cannot help you with the information that you want to know. It would be useless to keep us around. Also, it will be unfair to enjoy all these benefits when we cannot be useful to you in the most important way." She explained. Although she was putting an effort into explaining her points, Jaai felt like she was speaking in strange tongues. He definitely didn't understand what she was on about. "What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you tell Ciara that you couldn't wait to tell me ever
