Not long after, Nale's son, Kam, began to search for his father's killer. After discovering that Beedo was the man he sought, and that the Glymphid was a podracer, Kam entered into the podracing circuit, hoping to kill Beedo during the Boonta Eve Classic. Nyell learned of Kam's search, and feared that the younger Nale may take over his father's criminal empire and recreate the problems of his past. When his old acquaintance, Rango Tel, contacted him seeking to become a bounty hunter, Nyell sent him after Kam, hoping to eliminate the threat once and for all. Though Tel discovered that Kam actually had no interest in becoming a criminal nor any hatred toward Nyell, he persisted with his contract. He cornered Kam in an alleyway, but the Fluggrian was too fast and Tel's shoddy armor too weak—Kam shot Tel with his blaster pistol, killing him.
Spurred on by the attempt on his life, Kam returned to his homeworld and took up his father's profession, the exact outcome Nyell had hoped to prevent.
