He has seen blood before!
He's also killed before.
The problem is...
Being the perpetrator and being the victim are two different feelings.
The psychological pressure on the aggressor and the victim is not the same.
For example, like the recent infamous "Vietnam Butcher" case (don't search for it), some people like playing various roles, but when being the victim, they're definitely shaken.
It took him a while before he trembled and picked up the satellite phone, dialing the number of his father, Old Elton, far away in the Texas Manor.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and Old Elton's tired and hoarse voice came through: "Kohl? Is it over?"
"It's over, father."
Kohl's voice still carried a trace of tremor from being shocked, and he quickly recounted everything that happened in the study, especially how Victor used the ashtray to knock down Wilson, and the subsequent threats and division of interests, all in detail to Old Elton.
