But regardless of understanding, Campbell's greatest asset was his obedience. He simply did what Stuart told him to do.

Still standing there dumbfounded, Stuart waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, go back. You've done the job. From now on, if there's any benefit, you ask for it yourself." "Oh, okay then. I'll be off."

"Wait."

"Is... is there something else?"

"We haven't seen each other in days. How about we hit the tennis court, get some exercise?"

At that moment, Matthew didn't grasp the gravity of the situation.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours...

"Stuart, let's head back, that's enough."

"Continue."
