Heinz glanced at him indifferently, ignoring his question.
"Is it really that simple?" Michael almost could not believe his own ears and asked again.
He was still suspicious about whether Heinz had any more conditions. He did not believe that Heinz would let him go so easily. He felt as if he was on an emotional rollercoaster. His emotions were shifting so drastically from one moment to another that he felt as if they were about to break him.
"It really is that simple," Heinz replied in a low voice.
Michael gasped. Nonetheless, he still looked at Heinz somewhat warily.
So, was Heinz just fooling with Michael just now? Michael wondered.
"Are you really willing to let me go? You're not joking, right?" Michael asked again uncertainly.
Heinz answered in a deep voice, "As long as you clean up your act and behave, I won't punish you for what you did this time. But if it happens again, your fate won't be as simple as becoming a eunuch."
