It was mind-blowing! Absolutely mind-blowing! Matthew felt as if he had been electrocuted. His entire body went numb, and he stiffly stood in place.
There were eyes installed on the back of Caleb's head, shoes, arms… He had eyes on his whole body.
It was even more mind-blowing than when he had watched The Monarchs of the Rings as a kid and realized that Randalf possessed such powerful magic.
Not only could Caleb see everything that was happening behind him but he could also watch what happened inside rooms when he stood outside.
Though he'd only be able to do it with the help of his ring, which had a surveillance camera, it still shocked Matthew so greatly that he could hardly regain his composure.
Was it real, or was it all a dream? He felt as if he was in a fantasy world. Just with computers alone, human-machine interfaces, neural sensors, and surveillance cameras could all be connected into one.
Matthew felt as if a new paradigm had been unlocked. People… didn't used to be the same anymore. There were no longer any obstacles to the vision of mankind!
With the gun still pointed at his head, Caleb began to beg for mercy out of fright when he saw Matthew remaining firm in his stance.
"Please don't shoot! Don't kill me! Please, I beg of you! I was forced into this! They captured my wife and my kids!"
Matthew couldn't be sure if what Caleb said was true or not. But at this point, he didn't need to verify the truth because he had full control of the situation.
He pointed at the medical literature Caleb had pocketed and said, "Give me the medical literature!"
Caleb nodded immediately. "I'll do anything as long as you don't shoot me. I'll give you the medical literature now!"
After he finished speaking, Caleb slowly reached into his pocket while keeping his eyes glued to Matthew. He was being extremely cautious.
Just then, Matthew shouted sharply, "Don't get any funny ideas! You won't be able to put your little tricks into play!"
When Matthew was learning all of the tricks used in the casino from Darrell, the "Old Fox", Darrell had taught him a special technique.
It was called the hidden blade, but this hidden blade wasn't an actual blade or a short knife. Instead, it was a special blade that was slightly larger than an actual blade, but somewhat smaller than a poker card.
Once it was hidden within an individual's palm, it would usually go unnoticed by the average person, which was why it would be incredibly discreet when drawn.
Matthew wasn't sure if Caleb knew of such a technique, but he still decided to intimidate him beforehand in case.
