NovelEnglishThe man didn’t expect that a child like Victor would attack him and grab his neck. He didn’t dare to move fearing the Victor would
slash his neck any second.
“Boss.” The man swallowed hard out of nervousness. He glanced at his boss who was standing a few steps away. It happened
sixteen years ago. Norton looked so young and arrogant wearing leather clothes. He smiled contemptuously at Victor, whose
height only reached his chest.
As if enjoying a great show, Norton lit up a cigarette and smoke in front of Victor. Holding the broken glass tightly in his hand,
Victor met Norton’s gaze.
“Kid, are you seriously threateningwith his life?” With a sneer, Norton added, “It won’t work. I have a lot of men working for
me, all of whom are more capable than that loser. If you want to kill him, do it!”
“Boss, you can’t let him kill me! You...” Victor’s grip on the man’s neck when the latter tried to speak. Even though the man
begged, Norton remained indifferent. His eyes were only focused on Victor.
“What are you waiting for? Kill him.”
“Boss...”
As Victor’s eyes swept across the area, he roughly estimated that there were at least fifteen people here; all of them were
equipped with either baseball bats or knives. He could also tell at a glance that they were trained for this.
In other words, Victor couldn’t possibly win against them. The fact that Norton was fine with him killing one of his people made
the situation more terrifying.
“Let the driver go.”, Victor’s small yet firm voice rang out.
The driver, whose upper body was pressed against the car, struggled when he heard what Victor said.
“No, Mr. Sullivan. Leavehere. Run!”
A trace of amazement flashed across Norton’s face.
“Kid, you can’t even protect yourself, how are you going to protect others? Well, lettell you something. Nice people don’t
have nice endings.”. There was no response from Victor, so he continued, “How about I give you two choices since you are such
a good friend?”
Norton threw his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it as he walked forward
The closer he got, the harder Victor pressed the broken glass on the man’s neck. The sharp glass grazed the man’s skin,
causing blood to ooze out.
“The first choice is that I will let your driver go with smoney. But you have to think it over. It’s not guaranteed that your driver
will call for help once he gets away. Maybe he will just run away with the money.”
After all, if the driver went hwithout Victor, Carolyn would question him. How could the driver explain how Victor was
kidnapped?
If the Sullivan family decided to punish him, there was nothing he could do. But if these ruthless men let him go and gave him
smoney, he could run away from the Sullivan family and live a good life. A wise man knew which choice was better between
the two.
“As for the second option...” With a playful smile, Norton continued, “I’ll give you a knife and you can kill your driver.”
The driver’s eyes widened.
“Once you killed him, I’ll give you half an hour to escape. I’ll give you one minute to think about it. Kid, think wisely. What’s more
important? Your life, or the life of the person who may betray you?” Norton tested Victor. The driver trembled in fear. He looked at
Victor with pleading eyes and called out his name.
“Mr. Sullivan...”
Victor cast a quick glance at him before interrupting Norton who was just about to count down. “I don’t need a minute to think.”
“Oh? Really? Have you made up your mind?”
“Let the driver go, and I’ll follow you.” That was the young Victor’s decision. Despite the possibility that the driver might betray
him, he couldn’t be selfish.
“Are you sure? Boy, you should know that this is your last chance to live.” Disappointed by his answer, Norton squinted his
eyes.
“Lettell you the truth. Someone paidto kill you. Do you really think that this is just a kidnap for ransom? Letsay it
again. Someone wants you dead.” These words would have frightened an ordinary child, but Victor didn’t even flinch. His face
remained expressionless.
“Let him go.”
serious.
“Boy, you will regret it.” The man holding down the driver released him.
True enough, Norton gave the driver a bank card too.
The driver looked at the bank card in his hand, and then at Victor. He knelt on the ground and said, “Mr. Sullivan, thank you.
Thank you!”
At this time, Victor threw the glass he was holding since he promise to go with the kidnappers.
“Just go,” he told the driver.
“Sir...”
“Please call my grandma and tell her I’m grateful to her.”
‘Thank you for protecting and lovingfor the past six years. Thank you for givinghome, and for makingfeel that I’m not
alone.’ These were the words Victor hoped he could say to his grandmother.
With bloodshot eyes, the driver bowed to Victor three times. If it were someone else who witnessed such a dramatic moment, he
would have been brought to tears. However, Norton only got annoyed.
“Are you leaving or not? If you don’t want to leave, you can stay here with him. Anyway, I don’t mind killing one more person.”
Scared for his life, the driver stood up and limped away.
Looking at the driver’s receding figure, Norton chuckled and walked up to Victor.
“You idiot.” Suddenly, a loud gunshot echoed in the place. Before Victor could react, the driver, who was running for his life,
stopped. Then, he trembled and fell straight to the ground and never got up again. Blood gradually flowed out from the man’s
body, staining the road. With wide eyes, Victor turned to look at Norton, who was holding a gun that was still pointing at the
driver.
Norton shot the driver dead.
Because of this, Victor, who had always been nonchalant, was enraged.
“You broke your promise!”
“So what if I did?” Norton put away his gun, held Victor’s face and approached him.
“Boy, you should thankfor helping you get rid of a person who betrayed you. Besides, I just promised you to let him go. Did I
say that I wouldn’t kill him?”
When he tried to touch Victor, the latter shook of his hand.Norton ordered his men.
“Tie him up and take him away! If he resisted, beat him until he couldn’t move! But be careful, I don’t want him to die so soon.
He’s interesting.”
