Matthew fixed his gaze on Denzel for a while before nodding. "I believe you."
When everyone was getting violent and destroying things at the company, Denzel just stood there without getting involved.
As the others made their moves on Matthew, he just stood quietly at the back, not doing anything or saying a word.
Denzel's tensed expression eased up a little. "Thanks. I didn't have much of a choice. We had a military competition. I went all out and managed to get a spot.
"I was shocked when they made me leave the military and assigned me to eliminate you. A soldier has to follow orders. I couldn't turn it down, so I went along with it. That's what happened."
Matthew nodded. It was the same thing Brad had told him. "You didn't have the intention to kill me, so I don't want to kill you either. You're free to go now."
Denzel suddenly saluted and said, "I appreciate that."
With that, Denzel started making his way out. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to Matthew. "You were wearing handcuffs. How did you get them off?"
In the fight earlier, Matthe fought so quickly that Denzel could barely track his figure. Denzel didn't blink at all. But when Matthew picked up a steel pipe with one hand, he was blown away.
How did Matthew's hands go from being cuffed together to being apart?
Matthew raised his hands and shook them. His wrists had a metal cuff with a broken chain attached to it. As he moved his hands, the chains and cuffs clanged together, making clinking noises.
"Honestly, it's not that hard. Just pulling my hands apart does the trick."
Was it that simple? Denzel was skeptical. "No chance. I'm familiar with the quality of these cuffs. It's not as easy as you're making it sound."
