Months had gone by after Maxen's last visit since he had to fly to different places to do business. It had been his routine and schedule, and he had gotten used to this after many years. However, as they were in another country, they received a piece of heartbreaking news.
The old man was dead.
Maxen and Remo had to fly back the moment they heard the news. Under Maxen's orders, they held off the preparation for the funeral so they could see the old man for one last time.
Obviously, Remo was devastated. The old man was his only family, and he was the main reason he worked for Maxen to live a hellish life together. Although he knew his old man wasn't getting any younger, he wasn't ready for the loss.
Ironic, how they lose people every single day.
