Didn't he also get punched just now? I didn't see him being punched so hard that he couldn't even stand up.
Yet Matthew Saxon remained still. Knox Simmons glanced down and noticed his face seemed to have turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
At first, Knox thought Matthew was scheming something, acting out for him to see. But as he looked closer, he sensed something was off.
Matthew didn't seem to be pretending.
He had overlooked one thing: Matthew, being such a proud person, would never use something that tarnishes his image as part of his schemes.
Getting punched so hard he can't even get up - that's a complete image-damaging situation, something Matthew Saxon would never do.
After pausing for a moment, Knox felt a bit flustered and squatted down, nudging Matthew's body: "Matthew, what's wrong?"
Now closer, he heard Matthew suppressing groans of pain, as if he'd reached the extreme of agony, forcing it down with sheer will.
