Chapter 1872

All of Austin’s initial attempts had failed, but he immediately succeeded when Mike gave him a plan.

Then Mike made no more appearances after that.

‘Why would he help if he didn’t have ulterior motives? Would he be so kind as to help Austin without hoping for anything in return?’ Alexander could not believe it.

After pondering momentarily, he blurted, "Mike?"

Austin was stunned.

"You know him too?"

A moment later, he added, "It was him! He was the one who saved me! He told me how to escape the place and what I should do along the way.I shouldn’t have trusted him! If I knew this would happen, I'd be better off in there!"

Alexander felt conflicted upon hearing Austin’s words as he could not determine if Austin was telling the truth.

‘Did Mike really do this on purpose? Based on my understanding of Mike, he would think otherwise.However, his son is captive now, and he did not mention doing anything for Nick.Mike might’ve done that under the organization’s immense pressure or threats.

‘If that’s the case, Mike might know what kind of virus this is, or rather, what type of symbiote it is"

"Uncle Dom won't allow me to leave! I would find that organization and look for that b*stard Mike if I could! I swear I'll spread the virus back to them!"

Austin was so furious that he would kill Mike if they were in the same room.

Alexander snapped back to his senses.

"That's right.You shouldn’t leave.I’ve got my people to guard this place, so no one can come near.As for your necessities, I have people taking care of that too.Also..."

A short pause later, he added, "The old man wants you to help him up in three hours."

"Yeah, I got it."

Austin nodded and looked at the clock on the wall.

"His herbal bath should take about six hours."

"What does this herbal bath do? Can it remove toxins from his body?"

"I'm not sure either because he put quite a few herbs in that bath."

After staying at his granduncle’s place for some time, Austin became more mature.

He would not claim Dominic was being biased again for teaching others his expertise but not him.

In retrospect, Dominic taught him a lot as well.

Although Dominic did not want to take Austin in as his student, he still taught Austin everything the young man needed to know.

Talent was always the deciding factor.

No matter how much hard work one puts in, it would be nothing compared to someone with talent.

Plus, Austin was never as hardworking as he thought he was.

"Uncle Dom told me to boil the herbs and pour them into the bathtub.He said he’ll be soaking himself for six hours and doesn’t want anyone to interrupt him."

Alexander nodded, believing that Dominic knew about the situation.

It was just that Dominic did not have the energy to deal with it now, so Alexander decided just to wait a bit longer.

"Take a rest.I'll be looking after Galen.Also..."

Alexander finished his sentence after a moment, "Can you cook?"

Austin was speechless.
