Don't Ask

"Dad, I'm asking you a question! Are you really on my side?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Some time ago, I met two young girls. They wanted to help the weaker party in the fight because they felt that they would be able to get some credit for helping the weaker party at their lowest. Helping the stronger party wouldn't help them in any way."

"So you think that I'd think the same way? That I wouldn't get any recognition even if I were to help Donovan Taylor win this battle since he has too many people around him? On the other hand, I'd be rewarded and recognized by the Taylor family if I were to help you, right?"

"I actually do think that you had that intention, and it wasn't just you. Only your own interests matter in life, so there's nothing inherently wrong in thinking that way. In fact, I have to thank all of you. You have actually been of help. It's only because of you guys that the Taylor family doesn't dare to come against me so easily."
