"I will definitely figure out the truth. And once I do, I'll negotiate with her so that you can see that Enigma from time to time," James added, his determination evident as he patted Zach's shoulder.
However, a sense of gratitude welled up within Zach, mixed with a tinge of shame for needing so much help. He felt that he wouldn't be able to navigate through all this if it weren't for James' unwavering support.
"Thank you," Zach mumbled, his voice carrying a blend of appreciation and self-consciousness. But James responded by playfully tousling his hair, the gesture making him feel like a kid who had just lost a game.
"Don't mention it," James said with a light grin, his tone light-hearted. As their eyes met, the grin slowly faded, replaced by a more serious expression. "Remember, Zach, your dad saved my life. I owe him everything. And as long as I'm breathing, I'll make sure you get everything that's rightfully yours."
