"Seriously?"
Norton inquired, his brows furrowed.
As soon as he saw the look of astonishment on his face, Victor knew that he couldn’t be more correct.
Karl Sullivan, Victor’s father, hired Norton to murder him.
When it came to Apliaria and the rest of the country, the Sullivan family was a major and influential
family.
If someone else had hired Norton to murder him, Norton would be reluctant to comply.
Killing Victor would be an insult to the Sullivan family’s honor and respect.
However, if someone in the Sullivan family hired him to murder Victor, such as Karl, Victor’s father,
Norton would not have to worry about it.
Maria and Karl were the only members of the Sullivan family that desired his demise.It was too risky for
Maria to take his life out of the blue.
As a member of the Kennedy family, she took on both the Sullivan family’s and the Kennedy family’s
reputation.
Neither she nor the Kennedy family would survive if she did anything reckless.
It would be too early for the Kennedy family to take on the Sullivan family.
The Kennedy family would be easy prey for Carolyn to take down even if Karl was guarding the
Kennedy family.
Therefore, Maria did not dare wager on the Kennedy family.
Karl was the only one who could do anything he wanted to him.
Even though Victor was Karl’s first child, everyone in the Sullivan family knew that he was a mistake of
Karl’s own making.
To the public, Victor was perhaps Karl’s worst mistake.
At social events, Karl would always hear people talking about it.
At the very least, his damn kid was a nuisance.
His presence appeared to serve as a constant reminder of his relationship with a maid, something he
loathed.
In spite of this, Carolyn adored this scumbag of a kid.
Karl had a bad experience the first time Carolyn brought Victor back to the Sullivan family.
Carolyn was upset with Karl for how he handled Victor, but he was her son, and she had no control
over what happened to him or how Karl treated Victor.
She had raised Victor by herself so as not to make him upset, and Karl never had to see Victor again.
Initially, life was enjoyable since they did not have to see one another.
Even though Karl despised Victor, he did not have to see him.
Carolyn, on the other hand, became founder of Victor as he matured.
That was not all.
On her 65th birthday, in front of everyone, she said she had been planning on sending Victor to study
overseas after two years, and that she’d pass all of her shares in the Sullivan Group to him after he
finished his study.
Both Karl and Victor were taken aback when they heard Carolyn.
Carolyn nodded to Victor when she finished speaking, indicating for him to follow her up on her
invitation to take the stage.
Not until a second later did Victor regain his composure.
Looking into Carolyn’s soft eyes, Victor stepped towards her so as not to disappoint her.He got a sight
of Karl as soon as he stepped on the stage.
In Karl’s eyes, there was an expression of hatred.
Karl didn’t look at him in any way closer as a father should look at his son.
A vicious and uncaring expression was all that was left in his eyes, not revulsion.
He wished for Victor’s doom as he had never before.
At that moment, Victor’s mind was flooded with this thought, and even he was surprised.
In any case, he was convinced of its truth at the time.He took another glance at Karl, but the latter had
already departed.He was unable to do anything except watch his father leave.
There were no doubts that Karl would take over as president of the Sullivan Group in the following
several years.
After all, Carolyn’s retirement was just a few years away.
Karl, her only kid, was a not very talented guy, but he would one day be in control of the Sullivan
family’s business.
Since Carolyn’s 65th birthday, tables had turned completely.
Waiting to take over, Karl had discussed the Sullivan Group’s future with Carolyn in an indirect manner.
Despite this.
he had never received a definitive response from Carolyn.
At the time, Karl assumed it was just due to her reluctance to retire.He opted to say no more, believing
the Sullivan Group would fall into his hands sooner or later.
However, he was mistaken in this regard.
Carolyn never intended to give him the Sullivan Group in the first place, not because she didn’t want to
retire.
She didn’t retire because she wanted to keep the position for his scumbag kid! Ever since that day, Karl
desired to put Victor in a casket.
Victor was nothing more than a barrier on his path.
So, killing him was the quickest method to get rid of him.
He also believed that Carolyn’s knowledge of who hired the kidnappers to murder Victor was irrelevant.
She would never harm her own son in any way.
Without saying, Karl wasn’t going to order someone to hunt down Victor right away.
Instead, he had been patiently waiting for two years and had made the decision to murder Victor on the
same day that Carolyn was to ship him abroad.
"Generally speaking, no one is capable of hurting his own children.Your father is such a horrible person
that he wouldn’t even let go of his own kid."
Since Norton was an acclaimed member in Roaring Tiger now, he was aware of the Sullivan family.
To be fair, Karl couldn’t have been more obvious in his reasoning for wanting Victor dead.
He was impressed, and he couldn’t help thinking that it wasn’t that great to be born into a wealthy
family.
Victor kept his mouth shut.
Norton moved over to him after getting up from his chair.He pushed Victor to stare into his eyes while
holding his jaw with one hand.
"However, you are not any better than your father."
Norton had a history of taking risks.
As a result, he’d seen and murdered a great many individuals.
Victor’s gaze made him certain that he would grow up to be a vicious guy, too.
He stared down at Victor with a smirk as he released Victor’s chin from his grasp.
"I’ve promised you a prize if you make an educated guess."
Victor’s mouth was filled with the stench of blood, and he coughed as a result.
To avoid seeming timid at this particular moment, he bit his tongue and remained completely quiet.
His eyes became somewhat red as a result.
Norton gazed at Victor, removed an object from his back, and tossed it into his arms.
Victor didn’t see it properly.
He merely grabbed the object Norton had tossed to him unconsciously.
Norton’s words interrupted him before he could make out what it was.
"Can you tell where we are?"
The object in Victor’s hand was a Swiss knife.
Norton’s voice came again before he could say anything.
"The warehouse backs up to a forest.You can go back to Apliaria in roughly three days if you walk
through the jungle."
Victor pursed his lips as he stared up at him, with the knife gripped in his fist.
"Tonight, as your reward, I will send you into the wilderness.You’ll make it if you can walk back to
Apliaria on your own," Norton said, smiling.
But it’s not all good news, however.
There’s a whole pack of wolves lurking in there.
Let’s see whether you can make it out in one piece."
