Benny locked eyes with Matthew, glancing briefly at Matthew’s thigh before flashing a frosty smile.
“It was a surprise to see you here.

The shareholders waited, glancing at each other, curious about Matthew’s reaction.
Benny was known to be tough to handle.

His face was serious, and his eyes shone with an intense, icy anger, as if he was about to attack Matthew.

Matthew shook off his hand, his voice low and edged with a warning.
“Benny, I know those tricks of yours. I’m always ready to take you on if you don’t back down.”
