The man in the black T-shirt was downright petrified. He had worked for Nicholas for quite some time and knew Sophie’s importance to the man. Not daring to take things lightly, he immediately gave Nicholas a call.

Glancing around, Arius ascertained that no one was around before whipping out a small syringe and jabbing it into the man’s neck without warning.

“What are you…”

Arius struck at lightning speed, so fast that the man in the black T-shirt hadn’t any time to react.

The substance in the syringe was meant to make someone’s body stiff and rob the person of mobility.

For that reason, the man in the black T-shirt was still cognizant of everything around him but lacked the ability to speak or move.

“Let me give you some advice, young man! You’re still in the prime of your life, so you’ve got to choose a good boss, you know? Nicholas is evil to the core. There’s no future in working for someone like him.”

While speaking, Arius unhurriedly took the phone out of the man’s hand.

Then, he added, “You’d best leave quickly when this matter is over. Otherwise, you’d be dead before you even know it. I’m truly warning you out of the kindness of my heart.”

After saying all that, he circumvented the surveillance cameras and went back into the room.

Only when he had done so did he remember that he had forgotten Tristan’s phone number.

Nonetheless, he was too embarrassed to admit it.

It’s just ten digits, yet I can’t remember them. Ugh! It’d be pretty mortifying for me to confess to that.

“What’s wrong? You’ve already gotten a phone, so hurry up and make the call!” Barney couldn’t help urging. Once we’re discovered, it’d be too late!

“I don’t remember Tristan’s phone number anymore.” Arius gazed at Sophie helplessly.

At that, Sophie couldn’t resist scoffing. “What’s the use of you? You’re a genius doctor, yet you can’t even remember a phone number!”

“Let me tell you this, Sophie! You can’t forget yourself! Who am I here for? Besides, who is Tristan to me? Why must I remember his phone number?” Is that even necessary?
