Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Equality! The lions at the entrance were carved from white jade, and the mahogany mansion gate had a fingerprint lock installed.

Upon entering the gate, the courtyard gives the impression of a grand palace once occupied by kings and nobles. The courtyard has three tiers and three small gardens leading up to the main hall. Passing through the last door, several renowned trees were growing in the middle of the courtyard. These trees exude an ancient and elegant aura.

The interior had a combination of traditional Chinese architecture with a modern style. The main hall had impressive rosewood furniture.

There was a large painting in the hallway. It was created by a famous painter from ancient times and is the only one of its kind in the world.

There was a plaque on the painting with prominent characters written on it: Equality.

From the outside, the Frost family may seem low-key and ordinary, but once you're here, you can feel their hidden strength and power. It's important to be careful when visiting.

Two servants cover to serve tea and nodded respectfully.

Violeta asked, "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Frost?" Hayden's mom, a painter, went out to get inspired today.

Mrs. Frost and Irene were good friends who shared a passion for the arts. Whenever they met for tea, they had plenty to talk about. Irene often gave Mrs. Frost free vouchers as a gesture of friendship. She handed the gift to the servants, who received it with both hands and left.

Even the carefree Zoren always restrained himself whenever he visited the Frost family.

Zoren sipped tea and asked Violeta, "Vio, how do you like this place?" Although the White family's mansion is considered luxurious, there is a difference between businesspeople and politicians.

The Frost family is known for being reserved, and their his always neat and clean. However, their his not as extravagant as the White family's.

This place has a profound and formal atmosphere that makes it feel like one needs to wear proper attire to fit in. Violeta grinned and playfully gazed at Hayden. "It seems like we should start calling him Young Master from now on." Hayden lowered his gaze and replied, "There's no need for that." "Let's take a look around.

Hayden found that there wasn't much to do at their home, so he decided to get another place in Liberty 1/4 Chapter 48 Equality! Due to his strict upbringing, Liberty Grove is equipped with many smart hdevices.

They arrived at the western wing courtyard, whiere Hayden's room was located. Violeta walked into his room and found it neat, spacious, and well-organized.

The staff consistently cleaned and maintained the green plants in the courtyard.

Although there were large trees, no leaves were found underneath them.

Violeta was surprised to see many colorful birds in bird cages hanging from the trees.

"Do you still keep birds, Hayden?" Zoren and the others sat on the stone bench nearby while the servants served them snacks to enjoy along with their tea.

Violeta was looking at the birds in their cages with curiosity. She noticed that one of the birds seemed to be worth a lot of money at first glance.

Liam said. "Vio, these are just a small part of Hayden's vast collection of birds. He even trains falcons." Hayden developed this hobby in high school, which began with caring for a small parrot. He later progressed to working with eagles and even applied for a breeding certificate from the Department of Forestry t It is illegal to own eagles privately, and given Hayden's background, it is doubtful that he would break the law.

In ancient times, it was said that nobles enjoyed playing with birds. It's unclear how this hobby was passed down to Hayden since his parents didn't share the sinterests.

Jasper whistled and said, "Amarillo, sing a song!" "Fool! Fool! Fool!" A small yellow parrot with vibrant yellow feathers in the birdcage began to curse.

Jasper raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey! I'll turn you into a dish! I haven't seen you for a while, and you dare to curse at me.

Hayden went to the birdcage and opened it. Without even reaching out his hand, the bird flew out and perched on Hayden's shoulder without hesitation.

Violeta observed this scene with admiration.

"Wow! The bird is so well-behaved Hayden chuckled softly upon hearing Violeta's comment. "Reach out your hand, and I'll make it fly over to you." Violeta raised her hand, and with a slight shake of Hayden's shoulder, the yellow parrot flew onto Violeta White's hand. She was thrilled and gently touched its feathers. "It's so beautiful! Hayden, how did you tr it? Can you teach me?" Tuna poked its head out of the bag and stared at theellow parrot.

2/4 Chapter 48 Equality! "Training birds requires tand patience." If possible, I will take you to see the magnificent eagles.

Violeta nodded and said, "That sounds great!" Violeta held Amarillo in her hand and looked at it intently. Meanwhile, Hayden watched Violeta's smile with a tender expression.

Hayden used to consider sbirds as his treasures. He never allowed anyone else to touch them, and he would quickly call them back, even if he showed them to others. But now, Hayden is more than willin will put it back in the cage after she gets tired of playing with it.

Not only that, Violeta also looked at the purple bird in the cage and asked, "Can I touch this one too?" "This is a violet-chested hummingbird. I named it Hibiscus." Hayden put Amarillo back in the cage.

Hibiscus flew out, and Hayden placed it in Violeta's hands.

"Beautiful girl! Beautiful girl!" Hibiscus blinked its eyes and called out twice. Each bird had a different voice, and the Hibiscus had a hoarse voice.

"Lalala! Lalala!" The hoarse-voiced bird was also a chatterbox.

Hibiscus started singing without Hayden Frost's command, but its voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Zoren covered his ears and said, "Oh my gosh! Please stop singing!" But Violeta didn't mind. She laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's so amusing!" Hibiscus continued to sing despite the attempts to stop it. Its singing was off-key and could be heard. throughout the yard, causing the other birds in the cages to chatter.

"Good luck! Prosperity!" "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" "Bro! Bro! Sis! Sis!" "Lalala! Lalala!" All the birds were uttering simple words.

The birds' voices filled the yard, creating chaos.

"Whooo!" Haulen whistled and all the birdle stanner 3/4 Chapter 48 Equality! Hibiscus was put back into the cage.

Violeta seemed a little reluctant. "It turns out that raising birds is som fascinating I wish Tuna could be as well-behaved in the future." "Tuna is very naughty. It chewed up a pair of my slippers." Hayden glanced at Tuna in the bag. "It will becmore mature and well-behaved as it grows up." Being naughty during childhood is normal.

"I hope so!" They moved to another part of the garden.

After stime, they brought out a deck of cards to play.

Violeta ate scookies and said, "Sunset Cafe is reopening soon. You four should come." Zoren asked. "Has the cafe been renovated? You work fast."

Violeta replied, "We have made simple changes to focus on om promoting excitement. We aim to establish a reputation so that businesses can support us. Liam chuckled. "Should we invite a music band to perform?" "No,

that would be too extravagant. The main attraction of the cafe is its affordability. We didn't advertise it' e effectively before, so we're renovating and promoting it again. By the way, I have prepared a lot of discount That's fantastic, Vio. Could you give us some? I'll take them and have community members post them to promote it well."
