When they stepped out of the door, the first thing that caught Daniel's eyes was that one other person was waiting for his grandfather. The brief interaction his grandfather had with the unknown person confused Daniel. His grandfather had walked up to the person before handing him a pouch that Daniel could only think was full of coins before slightly giving him a nod.
After that simple nod, the other person has just stepped away from his grandfather without talking to him. When the brief interactions with the other person were over with, his grandfather looked back at him and said "come along we don't have all day you know," Daniel had quickened his pace to catch up with his grandfather. At the start of, their conversation his grandfather had asked them about how he had been in the past few years since he had been gone.
"The past few years while I've had felt doll and quite repetitive," he told his grandfather as he kicked a pedal on the ground. "Why do you say that what happened," His grandfather had grabbed his shoulders to make him look at him instead of the ground. "A lot of things have deteriorated in the past few years one of them being my non-existent relationship with Uncle Alejandro and my joy and love for racing. Me and Uncle Alejandro used to get into a lot of fights with each other however in the past few months we had just stopped talking or even looking at each other just,"
His grandfather's sighed "The Grudge that Alejandro has on you isn't really your fault. You shouldn't really be punished for what you haven't done. He and your mother were really close and your mother was the only person Alejandro had trusted with his burdens and losing her had really changed and for the worst. It's not your fault or his fault for The Grudge between you two but it's mine for not being there when I was most needed and I'm truly ashamed of that so please forgive me Daniel for my sin," His grandfather had tears in his eyes and Daniel could tell that his grandfather really felt hurt about their readership.
Before his grandfather could plead for his uncle's wrongdoings Daniel had taken hold of his grandfather's arms and stopped him from begging anymore. "Grandfather I know you mean well however the relationship between me and Uncle Alejandro is unamendable so please don't waste your breath on it. It's understandable that she felt sad and hurt about his sister's death. However, he shouldn't have taken his grief and rage on an innocent child who had lost his mother,"
Those few words Daniel had said about his uncle made his grandfather feel ashamed beyond belief. It was one thing for an uncle and his nephew not to get along however the relationship between other Hangzhou and Daniel was beyond fixable. After his mother had passed his grandfather had taken care of him until he was five. After Daniel had turned 5 years old he had left them with his uncle Alejandro not knowing that Alejandro had been holding a grudge against Daniel and his father for several years by then. After arriving at Uncle Alejandro's house Daniel has quietly acquainted and befriended Diego and his Auntie Sarah. However, every time Daniel had tried to get close with his uncle Alejandro he felt a sense of anger and hostility coming from his uncle.
After Daniel had felt that his uncle didn't like him he had asked his aunt why. Auntie Sarah had just simply lied to Young Daniel and told him that Uncle Alejandro was worried about raising business. Daniel being young and clueless had taken his Oddities words to heart and asked his uncle about his business which really wasn't the best move.
First Alejandro just simply ignored him but talking about his business made him feel annoyed and angry to where he shouted to Daniel to stay away from him and not bother him again. One night when Alejandra has come home drunk. He had come home to see Daniel being wrapped up in blankets sleeping alone in the living room at around 2 A.M. After seeing Daniel the son of the man who had called the killer of his sister all of his rage broke loose.
All of his rage anger and spite that has been building up for six years at that point had let loose and he threw a bottle at Young Daniels's face. Thankfully, due to him being drunk he had Missed Daniel and hit the wall behind Daniel. Hearing the bottle shatter startled Daniel awake. After being startled awake he saw his uncle rushing towards him with ferocity before taking him in a chokehold. His uncle Alejandro ahead Daniel in a Chokehold for around 10 seconds and in those 10 seconds Daniel had really thought he was going to die. Daniel screamed and scratch that his uncle but only muttered voices came out of his throat.
Daniel's face has turned blue and he could sense that he was about to die he had seen a hand take hold and grab his uncle away from him giving him some room to breathe. The person who had grabbed his uncle away from him was his Auntie Sarah she had to rush down from downstairs after hearing the commotion of the bottle shattering. After pushing Alejandro away as possible from Daniel she had slapped him and told him to get out of the house before she would kill him instead.
Being slapped didn't turn any Consciousness to Alejandro as he crudely told his wife "why are you protecting the person who had killed my sister," Those were the last words Daniel had heard before he had fainted. After that frightening interaction, Daniel had stopped talking to anybody in the house and had just simply been locked up in his room for two months until his grandfather had returned.
Auntie Sarah had informed his grandfather about the accident in which his grandfather had been very much shocked. In the many decades that his grandfather had lived, he had never heard or seen an uncle treating his nephew in such a horrible manner. Knowing that her brother's stupidity could have taken away the last remaining pieces of his daughter. His grandfather has been incredibly in range to where his eyes were red And his veins were popping out. When Alejandro saw his father return, he sensed the danger and knew that he had been told what happened.
Alejandro's father has never beaten him up or treated him in such a manner ever since he had been young and he had nothing to defend himself with. Alejandro knew he was wrong however he couldn't admit it because of his pride So he had certainly just taken the beat quietly. After being blue and black Alejandro had been told to leave the house and not come back.
After calming down his grandfather had gone up to Daniel's room and had taken him with him and didn't want to leave him in such an environment. However, when they were about to leave Auntie Sarah had pleaded with his grandfather to let Daniel stay and that she would take care of them like her own son and that this type of event would never occur under a watchful eye. Even the seven-year-old Diego didn't want his only friend to that point Daniel to leave him in such a manner so he had also begged his grandfather to let Daniel stay.
After hours of pleading and crying from the both of them his grandfather had given in and told them that if anything had happened to Daniel, he would cut off their part of the family. Even though it had been over ten years since that event had occurred in Daniel's life his grandfather but help and blamed himself for his son's actions.
"Daniel I know that you and your uncle Alejandro would never see eye-to-eye high and that you hold you still hold the garage on what happened that night. However, you should also know that you should hold your family over life and that family comes before anything else. Now that you're old enough to know what's right and wrong and you could go wherever you would like to go out about you come with me and go to Portugal,"
"Huh?" Daniel couldn't help but being confused by the sudden change of topic
