"Maybe they just went in to shower…"
Standing in the hallway, Ben Foster had such a thought, "Perhaps the showers on their floor really are broken."
But as soon as the thought appeared, he dismissed it himself.
Tom Hardy is a sworn enemy of Matthew and James McAvoy. is it just a coincidence that he's going to the showers now?
Ben Foster stood in the hallway, looking down at his feet, knowing these were all excuses.
If only Tom Hardy had gone in, he definitely wouldn't have hesitated, but the problem was that Johnny Lee Miller, one of the biggest stars in the crew, had gone in with Tom Hardy!
He was just an insignificant small actor, and if he offended one of the biggest actors in the crew, his future days in Morocco would definitely not be easy.
Ben Foster was still hesitating, both worried that these two would harm Matthew and afraid of offending Johnny Lee Miller.
"There are two of them, and only Matthew is in the shower room…" he muttered, "If a conflict breaks out, Matthew will definitely be at a disadvantage. Matthew has been good to me…"
Talking to himself up to this point, Ben Foster suddenly remembered that just this afternoon, Matthew had helped him once; if Matthew hadn't acted in time, he would have surely hit his head.
Thinking of this, Ben Foster no longer hesitated, and ran towards Matthew and James McAvoy's dormitory.
Tom Hardy and Johnny Lee Miller entered the shower room, immediately locked the door from the inside to prevent anyone from disturbing them, then took out a handheld camera from a bag, turned on its light, quickly adjusted the lens in the changing room, and then walked into the shower stalls one after another.
Matthew had just rinsed the foam from his head when he heard a sound outside, but he didn't pay attention, as it was a public bathroom, and he assumed someone else had come in to shower.
He picked up the shower gel, and just as he opened the cap, he heard footsteps, followed by a dazzling white light. He vaguely saw two people, one of whom was holding something.
The light in the shower stall was too dim, and the light over there was too bright. Matthew instinctively squinted, unable to clearly see the situation on the other side for a moment.
"Wow… wow… whoa…"
An exaggerated sound rang out,
and the voice was a little familiar, "John, look, it's too much!"
This voice immediately made Matthew think of someone, and as his eyes gradually adjusted to the light, he could vaguely distinguish the situation on the other side.
Matthew didn't think twice, pulled down the nearby towel, and wrapped it around his waist.
He had seen clearly; the people who came in were Tom Hardy and Johnny Lee Miller. Tom Hardy was holding a handheld camera, and Johnny Lee Miller was carrying a bag.
"Don't hide." Tom Hardy stood slightly inside the doorway, the camera lens still pointed this way, "Everything that needed to be filmed has been filmed!"
He was clearly in a good mood, "I didn't expect it, Matthew Horner, you're really well-endowed. It's a waste to be an actor; you should change professions."
Tom Hardy laughed heartily, "Some bars in Los Angeles would definitely welcome someone like you!"
He seemed overjoyed, laughing uncontrollably.
Matthew turned off the shower, a towel wrapped around his waist, drops of water rolling down his strong muscles, his gaze sweeping over Tom Hardy and Johnny Lee Miller one by one.
He knew very well that the other party must have filmed something.
"What do you want?" Matthew looked over there, very calm, "Speak."
"Nothing!" It was Tom Hardy who spoke again. He turned off the camera, "Just filming some material."
Matthew looked at them. Did these two guys want to threaten him with a naked video? He was a man, not a woman!
As if guessing his thoughts, Johnny Lee Miller took off the bag from his back, unzipped it, and as he took things out, he said, "I want to play a game with you."
Tom Hardy added sinisterly, "John has some very special hobbies."
When they came over, they didn't see anyone nearby, and there was only Matthew Horner in the shower room. He had plenty of time to torment this bastard, just like Matthew Horner had done to him in the bar.
First verbal humiliation, then physical assault, and finally making him a laughingstock across America! Tom Hardy felt that only this way could he release the long-suppressed anger.
Matthew instantly became alert, and then saw Johnny Lee Miller taking out one item after another from his backpack: clips, candles, chains, whips, handcuffs, a syringe that looked like a pistol grip… and several other items he couldn't name but knew the purpose of.
The other party took them out slowly, deliberately shaking each one at him, as if to create psychological pressure.
Johnny Lee Miller actually had such hobbies?
He hadn't filmed anything about this back then, and seeing it now, he couldn't help but be surprised, but then he remembered the six female models' exhausted appearance that time, and instantly understood.
Even if Johnny Lee Miller was very strong, it would be impossible for such a situation to occur with him alone against six women, so he must have used some illicit methods.
Unfortunately, it wasn't filmed then.
Matthew also realized something at the same time: since Johnny Lee Miller was here, he probably confirmed his relationship with Angelina Jolie… "Don't worry, don't worry…" Tom Hardy suddenly laughed, "We're just filming some things, we won't hurt you."
As he spoke, Johnny Lee Miller took out two stun guns from his backpack.
Tom Hardy first placed the camera in a dry spot near the door, took one of the stun guns, and then said, "We spent a lot of money to deal with you; it's not easy to get these things here." He pressed the stun gun, and a faint current sound was heard, "Matthew Horner, don't resist. We'll let you go after we're done filming."
Johnny Lee Miller then took out a black hood, preparing to put it on his head.
He had only said one sentence from beginning to end; the rest was Tom Hardy rambling, "Do you know, there are websites for these special enthusiasts on the internet now? We'll edit your video and put it up there, guaranteeing you overnight fame!"
Matthew's gaze swept past the two of them, looking at the exit behind them.
Although he had been working out and training continuously, and had even done a long period of boxing practice recently, there were two opponents, and Tom Hardy was very robust.
If it were just one person, even with a stun gun, he would have a ninety percent chance of taking them down. With two people, it would be difficult.
Matthew wouldn't be arrogant enough to think he could easily take down two strong men. Perhaps it was possible, but he couldn't afford the risk. Once he was stunned by either Johnny Lee Miller or Tom Hardy, what awaited him was imaginable.
If it were then uploaded to the internet, it would absolutely be a lifelong disgrace that could never be erased.
"No need to look." Tom Hardy snorted coldly and said, "We've locked the door! You can't escape! And there's no one in the hallway outside, no one saw this way! Your cries for help are useless!"
Matthew looked around, searching for something that could be used as a weapon, and at the same time said, "I will call the police!"
He hoped the police would scare them away.
Tom Hardy laughed heartily, "Your phone? Are you going to take out your phone and call the police?"
Matthew was instantly speechless. Who carries a phone when showering?
"Calling the police is useless!" Tom Hardy seemed to have considered everything thoroughly, "This is Edwards Air Force Base; the police have no jurisdiction here! Reporting it to the crew is also useless…"
He clearly intended to corner Matthew step by step with words, enjoying that inexplicable pleasure, "With Johnny here, you're nothing to the crew! Even if someone saw us two come in, it doesn't matter. You'll be kicked out of the crew, and an important role will become vacant. What if Johnny suggests to Jerry Bruckheimer that he take your place?"
Tom Hardy took a step forward, "Do you think anyone will stand up for you?"
Matthew had to admit that Tom Hardy was making a lot of sense. This was a circle where people stepped on others to climb, where everyone was busy fighting for fame and fortune… From Tom Hardy's words, he also gathered some information: Johnny Lee Miller must have gotten into the crew through Jerry Bruckheimer's connections.
Jerry Bruckheimer was the most powerful person in the crew, and he had no relationship with Jerry Bruckheimer.
But none of this helped to resolve his current predicament: running? The door was locked, and he couldn't get out immediately. If he didn't run, could he take down these two guys?
Matthew's gaze darted around, trying to find a suitable weapon.
The metal pipe connected to the showerhead was fixed to the concrete wall with expansion bolts. Before he could even remove it, the two guys would probably have stunned him with their stun guns.
He looked again, at the shampoo and shower gel, and the wet towel around his waist.
"Alright!" After Johnny Lee Miller had taken out all the items, he picked up the whip with his right hand.
Tom Hardy nodded and walked towards Matthew first. He walked slowly, seemingly enjoying the feeling of a cat playing with a mouse.
"You'd better let us tie you up obediently." Tom Hardy pressed the stun gun again, and electric sparks seemed to dance, "The taste of being electrocuted is not pleasant! You'll see it yourself on the internet then…"
Matthew slowly retreated. He remembered that some stun guns could fire bullet-like objects.
Johnny Lee Miller suddenly spoke, "Matthew Horner! Today you will pay for what you've done!"
Tom Hardy looked at Johnny Lee Miller in surprise, still not understanding why he hated Matthew Horner so much.
There was no need to dwell on such matters; his willingness to team up against Matthew Horner was enough.
Johnny Lee Miller said sharply, "Matthew Horner! Do you remember what you've done? You despicable, shameless bastard! You vulgar, filthy driver!"
"I thought you couldn't speak." Matthew only then realized that Johnny Lee Miller had been holding back a lot of words. Although the origin of the matter between him and Johnny Lee Miller was on his side, he couldn't just let himself be slaughtered, could he? As he retreated, he said, "Can we calm down? We can totally resolve this in a different way."
The two men didn't listen at all, slowly closing in step by step.
