Chapter 689: Struggle has always been part of human instinct
"He’s old... so no one would suspect if he had a little accident, right?"
A moment of silence filled the air as the other man on the line didn’t speak. Meanwhile, Sven’s face remained blank, but he knew what he had said was something he was willing to do. It was something he had to do.
After all, his life was more important.
When Sven first found the suspicious card in his car, he had been skeptical. He didn’t want to think about it, didn’t even consider it at first. But because of Atlas and Chairman Bennet’s arrogance, anger and vengeance blinded him.
Sven knew he’d settle scores, whether or not the card was just a silly prank. However, after calling that number and making contact with this person, Sven didn’t realize what kind of trap he had walked into.
Only now, after everything that had happened, did he realize it wasn’t just a hole he jumped into. It was quicksand. The more he struggled, the faster it would pull him under. This realization came too late, and now he had no choice but to do what he was told.
"Hahaha!" Out of nowhere, just as Sven was thinking about how to deal with the witness from last night, the man on the other end of the line burst into laughter.
Sven furrowed his brows, staring at the phone in confusion. ’Did I say something funny?’
"Oh, Sven Bennet," the man said, as his laughter subsided. "You’re a little amusing. It just shows you deserve a second chance."
"A second chance...?" Sven asked, still confused.
"Haha. You messed up, but I’m just kidding. You’re not in trouble... yet."
Sven’s brows furrowed even deeper. "So the file —?"
