While Dark Matter was creating the virus, Ryan was on the phone with Arthur.
"I saw you on the livestream. Are you in trouble? If you need help, just let me know. Don't try too hard to handle it alone," Ryan said.
Arthur was both surprised and relieved to hear Ryan's voice—the lawyer who had once saved him. "My family is facing some trouble right now, but I don't want to trouble you—"
Ryan interrupted impatiently, "Do you need my help? Yes or no?"
Arthur hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully, "I do need help. If you're willing to assist, we'll definitely pay you…"
"Forget about the money. I'm on my way now." Ryan hung up and stepped on the accelerator.
