Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 115

Liam playfully suggested, "Why not do as Vio does and chuck it in the bin?"

Zoren hesitated. "Are you trying to get me in trouble?"

Liam laughed. "Well, what's your plan then?"

It was well known that only Violeta had the guts to pull such stunts in front of Hayden. Even his close friends would not dare, but Violeta could get away with it, and Hayden actually put up with it from her.

Violeta grabbed an ice cream from the freezer.

"What's everyone planning for the summer break?"

Zoren reminded her, "Didn't you see the group chat? We're heading to the grasslands—horseback riding, falconry, milk wine tasting, and staying in yurts!"

Violeta looked around. "Are you all coming?"

"Let's make the most of it while we can. We don't have much time to have fun anymore," Liam encouraged.

As summer break was nearing its end and a new semester was about to start, they all knew that after the New Year, internships and family obligations would take priority.

Jasper mused, "Youth really does fly by, doesn't it?"

While enjoying her ice cream, Violeta recalled Jasper's appearance in the news from a past life memory.

He had once attended a charity dinner in a luxurious suit. His appearance had not changed much, but his demeanour was much more composed and authoritative compared to now, earning him the playful nickname of "real-life tycoon" from netizens!

She smiled at the thought.

"Alright, I'll talk to my parents about the trip."

Just then, Fiona came over with freshly brewed coffee.

Hayden, taking a sip, turned to Violeta. "Didn't you say you wanted to see the eagle last time? I'll make sure you get to this trip."

Zoren exclaimed, "Hade, is Zeus back?"

Violeta asked, "Zeus?"

Liam clarified, "Zeus is Hade's eagle, specifically a gyrfalcon."

Renowned as the king of eagles, a gyrfalcon is famed for being the fastest and highest-flying eagle, with an astronomical value.

Historically, these birds were so esteemed that emperors regarded them as regal symbols, with only one in ten thousand eagles being a gyrfalcon.

Zeus, among the finest of his kind, had been kept away from public view, especially after he was fitted with a custom hood a few months ago.

Hayden confirmed nonchalantly, "Yes, he's returned."

Jasper chimed in, "That's great news. There's a falconry competition in Yurtlandia this time, Vio. Seeing Zeus in action will be quite the spectacle."
