Furious, Richard sprang up and shouted into the phone, “Uncle, this is my only chance of avenging Dad. Why are you stopping me?”

“That’s because you’re the only son your mom has, and you are my only nephew. I can’t let you be in danger,” the man answered him calmly.

“Please ask uncle to stop interfering with my job.” Richard’s sole purpose of calling was only because of work.

“It’s not his fault; I asked him to do that. My only request is to stop you from joining missions related to your dad.
