“I said practice!” He spoke a bit more irritated this time. Kenzo looked at Dario, but all Dario could do was shrug his shoulders as he gave Christian full control. Kenzo took a deep breath.

“H-hi uncle B-b-Berto-”

“Without stuttering, please,” Christian rolled his eyes. Kenzo closed his eyes and tried to focus.”Uncle Berto, I found the money?”
