James Xavier's father is Brook Xavier's older brother, and James had always admired his cousin.
His work ability and character made him a standout among his peers.
But this time, James Xavier's performance was clearly below par.
James lowered his face.
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
In a work setting, James Xavier had never referred to Brook Xavier as uncle, treating him rather like a superior-subordinate relationship, never displaying familiarity.
Now, he suddenly called him uncle, clearly indicating he didn't want to elaborate on the details.
Brook Xavier turned his head to look at him for a moment, staying silent for a while, then lifted his hand to pat James on the shoulder.
"You are responsible for this matter, but it's not entirely your fault; don't be too hard on yourself."
First missions often come with sudden situations, which Brook Xavier had experienced before.
Ivana was injured, and he was pained, but he couldn't blame James Xavier for that.
