If he had said he didn't see this coming eventually, he'd absolutely be lying. What Wo Fat hadn't expected, entirely, was the execution. Maybe it was how dead his eyes had looked, like maybe he expected to see even an infinitesimal change in the man ( was he a man? He's not so sure anymore. ) when it came down to it.
Maybe he just expected a gun. Or a hood over his head. Not almost being floored with one, two strikes. It’s how I would have done it, he thinks distantly. With my hands. or the tight cinch of a cord around the neck.
Winded, he staggered back. For a moment, the pain he was in was betrayed in the way his features twisted into a grimace, the ( trembling) hand that held his stomach; the other caught himself on a table when he rocked precariously.
( whatever he was, he was strong. )
Hazel eyes hardened when he took a few deep breaths, a carefully controlled rage burned beneath them. Wo watched him warily. He was treading incredibly thin ice, and he knew it. And maybe that was the reason he didn't immediately lash out, not knowing if MOD intended to do more, or to let him go. He only just restrained himself, electing to catch his breath, hoping to look like he stayed his hand and maybe catch him offguard. It's a long shot, he thinks.
"Then enlighten me," he said, cocking his head slightly. The weight of his gun is a small comfort; he knows if he goes for it now it could go badly, if it wasn’t already heading in that direction. "Because I was under the impression it was just a computer."
It was a risk, provoking him, like it had been a risk jamming the signal. He knew where that ended up - who knew where this would end up at, especially once he lunged, taking a swing for MOD's temple in an attempt to down him quickly. He didn't want to draw it out; didn't even know if he could take the man in a hand-to-hand fight at length.
