Chapitre 109: An Unexpected Call

Leon was about to leave the office for Bronx city when he got an unexpected call.

"Hello, nephew! How is my sweet boy doing?" Maxwell's voice was calm but deep, just like Rex's voice. If Leon didn't know his uncle better, Maxwell could be easily mistaken for Rex.

"Uncle Maxwell! Wow! I'm doing great! It's been ages!" Leon's tone conveyed his excitement and surprise. "The last time I asked after you, I was told you had gone on a personal imposed exile."

Maxwell chuckled before replying. "Yes, son! I needed time and space to clear my head. So many troubled waters filled with sharks that I had to eliminate. However, I'm back."

"Welcome back, Uncle!" Leon smiled.

"Thanks, son. Your dad just told me something that is ripping my heart that I never knew existed until now."

Leon grinned at his uncle's jokes amidst the pain in his heart. He heaved a sigh before responding: "yeah! I wish there was something I could do to prevent it from happening."
