"I dislike how you worded it," Deep Waters sternly said. "Strictly speaking, the project he's operating back then was my bargaining chip; I was against the work itself, not the person. He just happened to be in charge of it, so he became the object of suspicion, which was why he ended up bearing the consequences. I swear that that's not something premeditated. I'm not that type of guy!"
