2025-10-17 16:18:30"So this Phoenix Baron. Why can't we just order a tuxedo like normal people do instead of making an appointment?" Jedidiah sipped from the glass of margarita he was holding as both he and Chuck wandered around what appeared to be the waiting lounge area of Bendels Fashion Store's upper floor.
Carefully arranged at both sides were see-through glasses containing collections of expensive jewelries and outfits. It was obviously a mild exhibition of the Store's la creme. "Young Master. First of all, the Phoenix Baron isn't who you think they are. Second, it would be really beneficial to have the Phoenix Baron as an acquittance.. especially since you're going to the brunch event tomorrow." "I'm sorry but I don't quite follow." Jedidiah pursed his confusion. "Not many people are lucky enough to rock one of the Phoenix Baron's exclusive work. You going to the brunch in such a fashion would send out a message." "Correct me if I'm wrong but why do I have to do that?" in the face of Jedidiah's never-ending questions, Chuck sighed in defeat as the pitch he was speaking in, decreased a notch. "As the sole Heir of the Kreese Family's fortune, it won't be far fetched to place you in the leagues of the top ten richest individuals in the entire world." "T-Top ten?" Jedidiah couldn't conceal his disappointment. He currently had a trust in his name containing two hundred trillion dollars and that only placed him in the top ten? not even in the top five or three?! Unaware of Jedidiah's Inner thoughts, Chuck continued explaining. "If this were three to four decades ago, this would've placed the Young Master as one of the most powerful individuals in society. However due to the existence of the Elites, power is longer a concept that can be guaged by monetary value. In the current world we live in, influence is power and right now you have the money but not the influence." "As the Patriarch of the Kreese family, you'd now be competing with old monsters who possess influence and power beyond your imagination. If you don't rise to their level, no amount of money you have will be able to shield you from their predatory claws ." "Hm. But I still don't understand how this Phoenix Baron comes into play. Isn't he just some kind of Tailor? just how amazing can the guy be?" Jedidiah shrugged. He just so happened to have completely drained the contents of his glass. "In the eyes of the secular populace, yes. However within the Inner Circle, rumors has it that the Phoenix Baron has ties to an international big shot. If you can foster a relationship with the Phoenix Baron and perhaps the power behind them, it would go a long way in establishing your influence." Chuck hesitated a bit before he continued. "Earlier we ran into the young master of the Vanderwaal family. Don't tell me you think he's just here for shopping? Socialites like him tend to leave those kind of secular matters to their subordinates." "Hm?" a light bulb lit up in Jedidiah's head as he finally seemed to be catching up to Chuck's point of view. "He's here for the Phoenix Baron as well?" Chuck was just about to open his mouth to reply when the duo heard footsteps. Looking over, they noticed the Affiliate Agent they encountered earlier at the ground floor, making her way over. However now, she was currently walking besides a dirty blonde haired man in his late thirties, smartly dressed in a designer suit and sporting an expensive looking wrist watch. "Are you the Phoenix Baron?" Jedidiah observed the other party with keen attention. "No. I am Mitch Steff. The Phoenix Baron's personal assistant." while Jedidiah was observing him, Mitch was returning the favor as well. - This guy posseses the highest level membership card? my shoe polish can buy what he's wearing, ten times over! "So when do we see the Phoenix Baron?" Chuck flashed the other party a harmless but friendly smile. "I am afraid that won't be possible. The Phoenix Baron is currently entertaining two important guests so all appointments are being canceled. You can try making another one tomorrow." "Two important guests?" Jedidiah muttered under his breath. He could already guess who those "important guests" were. However if he recalled correctly, Spencer's group from earlier were three in number. Not two. —[You have trolled Mitch Steff for +500.. +500.. +500] "I'm sorry. Do you not like this arrangement?" Mitch shot Jedidiah an unfriendly smile, misinterpreting his muffled muttering as signs of indignation. "I'm just surprised at the work ethics of your boss. That's all." Jedidiah responded with a shrug. —[You have trolled Mitch Steff for +700.. +700.. +700] "Hmph. I don't mind telling you this. My Boss is currently entertaining the young master of the Miller Clan. Do you think you are more important than him?" Mitch sneered. Judging from the way Jedidiah and Chuck were dressed, he already concluded that they were servants who were on an errand on behalf of their superior. As the Personal Assistant of the famous Phoenix Baron, he didn't need to pay a couple lowly servants any regard. "What Young Master of the Miller Clan. That title belongs only to my Young Master ." Chuck retorted in dissatisfaction. "It's alright Chuck. We were just about to leave." Jedidiah wasn't in the mood to quibble. All his life, he's endured mockery to the point where it had slowly become routine for him. If this Phoenix Baron wasn't going to see him, then he was going to purchase his tuxedo for the brunch at another's store. He was a trillionaire now. He doubted there was anything in the world that he could'nt buy. .. "I can't believe the Academy is going to open it's gates next week." "Just thinking about it makes me tired already." Inside the Office reserved for the "Phoenix Baron", three figures were currently seared on a posh sofa in what appeared to look like a hotel suite, glasses of champagne in hand as they gossiped amongst themselves. If Jedidiah were present, he would be able to recognize two of them as part of the trio he encountered back at the premises of Bendels Fashion Store. As for the third member of the champagne sipping trio, it wasn't Spencer but a lady in her early twenties clad in a red dress that was drapped over by an oversized fur coat. - And unlike Blaire and Zach, her head was s full with rich sandy blonde hair styled in a simple ponytail. Natalie Kinsfolk. Also known as the talented Fashion Designer; Phoenix Baron. "Honestly you have it easy. You're a Senior." Blaire pouted in response to Natalie's earlier comments. "You forgot to add the fact that's I have been one for over three years now. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever graduate." Natalie replied with a wry smile. "Well, if you were not too preoccupied with your clothing line, then perhaps you might've met the criteria necessary to graduate. Who knows, we might even graduate the Academy at the same time." the speaker this time was Zach.

Chapter 91 — Spirit Dew
By the time the ten minutes recess break reached its conclusion, Jedidiah and the rest of the Entrepreneurs were led towards the Direction of Maple Demon Groove. Watching the female guide lead the Entrepreneurs away, Mr. Stratham didn't forget to wish them all good luck. Watching their backs slink into the distant horizons, Mr. Stratham leaned back from inside the protective coverage of the gazebo. With the image of a certain figure unconsciously appearing in his mind, an amused grimace played across his lips. Fishing out his phone, he placed a quick call to one of his business associates. Barely reaching the second ring, the call went through, connecting successfully. "Lucas Frost..""Mr. Stratham! what a surprise to receive a call from you." the voice from the other end sounded a bit panicked and also surprised. "Does the Organization have any need for my service?" "No. This is a personal call. I want you to look into someone for me. Someone from the Miller Clan." Naturally t
Chapter 90 — Maple Demon Groove Pt1
Placing the golf ball atop a tee stick, Mr. Stratham stepped a couple inches back. With all ten fingers wrapped around the handle of the golf stick, he lifted it above his shoulder. Entering the right stance, he proceeded to wordlessly bring it down. Wallop! Flying out from the tee stick, the golf ball moved like a literal shooting star. It blitzed past the fairway. Then the green area. Past the flag. Yet, it's momentum didn't appear to have declined in the slightest. "Do you know where that ball landed?" only after the golf ball disappeared into the distant horizon, did Mr. Stratham finally said a word. Taking in the puzzled expressions around him, he nodded his head. "I precisely sent it towards Maple Demon Groove." Calmly returning back inside the gazebo, Mr. Stratham further added. "I will give the internship spot to the person who can return that ball back to me." "W--What??" the expressions of the entrepreneurs collectively sank. Although Mr. Stratham's proposition soun
Chapter 89 — Emperor's Summons
Flipped two million into three billion.. overnight?! The young entrepreneurs present all exchanged mutual looks of disbelief amongst themselves. However Dwayne was the first to snap out from his daze. "He flipped two million into three billion overnight?" sounding doubtful, he continued. "That's impossible!" "Impossible? and why would you jump into that conclusion?" Natalie snappily retorted. "Hmph. None of us here are children. To flip three million into that large sum means he got a return exceeded a thousand percent.. that's unrealistic." Dwayne clicked his tongue. "If you are doubtful, why don't you place a call to the upper management at Senbon Lavish Thrills? I am sure they would be able to clear your doubt." Natalie shook her head when she noticed the expressions of skepticism and disbelief around her. She didn't blame them though. She could still recall spotting the same kind of expression when she heard about Jedidiah's ridiculous winning streak, the previous night ag
Chapter 88 — He's Lady CeCe's Grandson?!
"As expected from the great Mr. Stratham. You are indeed an eccentric man like the rumors claim." Ignoring the downcast expressions of the young entrepreneurs around her, Natalie directly arrived in front of Mr. Stratham. Spotting a half curved smile that oozed with confidence, she continued. "Which is why I already have a suitable candidate in mind." "What is the meaning of this, Natalie!?" before Mr. Stratham could respond, Dwayne quickly cut in. His eyes currently had an unfriendly glimmer within them. "We all know you don't need this internship. So why are you intentionally trying to make things difficult for the rest of us, huh?!" Although many of the young entrepreneurs had already slowly developed a small dislike for Dwayne, they all inwardly nodded in agreement. The internship position that Mr. Stratham was currently offering was completely useless to someone like Natalie. "Uhm. I think you must have misunderstood. I am not here to fight for the internship position with y
Chapter 87 — The Intern Position
Standing at the outskirts of the club house within the golf course, Natalie had just ended a call on her mobile phone, when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Her eyes immediately lit up. "You made it.. just in time!" Sensing faint traces of relief laced in Natalie's voice, Jedidiah knitted his brows in confusion. "You invited me to a golf course? I can't play golf." he gave her this warning. Clicking her tongue, Natalie led Jedidiah towards the clubhouse where he checked in. After that, she led him towards the nearest tee box. With Mitch obediently trailing behind them, Natalie exhaled sharply. She gave Jedidiah a sidelong glance. "You really don't know how to play golf?" With Jedidiah shaking his head in response, Natalie's manicured fingers tapped against her temples. "Things are about to get tricky now." "Does this arrangement of yours have anything to do with Judas Statham?" "Hm?" Natalie's eyes dilated in slight surprise. However the lustre soon died down.
Chapter 86 — Exploration Estate Pt2
Contrary to Jedidiah's expectations, the interior of Blue Star Avenue was quite serene. Natalie had already arranged a private golf cart for him, so passing through the security checkpoint wasn't an hassle. As the wheels of the cart moved across the smooth dirt covered by meticulously trimmed grass, Jedidiah took the opportunity to observe his new environment with rapt interest. 'Didn't the taxi driver say this place was an artificial Haunt Realm?' Jedidiah's eyes narrowed in confusion. The air was fresh, the atmosphere serene and the environment bustling with activity. It appeared more like a luxury resort than a place that was supposed to be brimming with Death Qi! "We are here, sir." after covering a rough distance of over five acres away from the security check point, Jedidiah suddenly felt the golf cart come to an abrupt halt within an open square shaped construct with a low fence. They were a couple others similar constructs around and within them were stationary golf carts
