Heh, heh, heh. It's nice to see what you guys think about this!
He think Phodom still deadly enough and better not risk.
Wrong.
As part of Talloon's plan.
Talloon isn't linked to Xada.
Someone give him money and make him change his target to Phodom's family.
Actually this is going very near... Hmm... I think I could approve this. The mission was to kill Phodom but before he actually met Phodom and his family he was brided by some unknow man not to Kill Phodom, but his family only... That's the second scene of first interlude.
So I accept Tears' answer!
