Arthur spent the rest of the evening weighing his options. He thought about the potential benefits and drawbacks, but ultimately, the chance to make a difference won him over.
The next morning, Arthur picked up his phone and dialed the number Marcellus had given him.
"Marcellus," the voice on the other end answered.
"Arthur Prott here," Arthur said, his voice firm. "I've thought about it, and I'm in."
Marcellus's tone was triumphant. "Excellent choice, Arthur. I'll send a car for you at 3 PM today. We'll finalize the details then."
Arthur nodded, even though Marcellus couldn't see him. "I'll be ready."
As he hung up, Arthur felt a mix of excitement and trepidation. He knew that his life was about to change in ways he couldn't even imagine.
He looked at his parents, who were watching him with a mix of concern and pride.
"I did it," Arthur said, a small smile on his face. "I'm joining the team."
His parents nodded, their faces reflecting their support.
"We'll be here for you, no matter what," his mom said.
Arthur nodded, feeling grateful for their love and support. He knew that he was making the right decision.
