‘Besides, what about many others who have gotten infected? Is he going to draw all the symbiotes into his body?’
Alexander did not know how to stop Austin, wondering if interrupting the process would worsen things. At that moment, Dominic seemed to have awoken from his stupor and tried to lift his shaking hand.
Austin was surprised to see him moving and quickly said, “Stay still! I’ll alleviate your pain, and you’ll recover soon!”
He was excited, but Dominic was not. The older man lifted his trembling hand and slapped his grandnephew’s face. However, Dominig’s hand merely brushed Austin’s cheek as he was too weak. Even so, his movement exhilarated Austin.
“Are you getting better?” Austin grabbed his granduncle’s hand. “I knew this method would work!”
“Work… my *ss!” Even in a weakened state, Dominic still spoke rather harshly. He tried to struggle free from Austin but could not since his grandnephew was too strong. “Let go... you brat!”
“I can’t. We’re halfway there, and I’ll soon—”
Before he could finish, he was shocked to see Dominic struggling to move his slashed hand. Due to his violent struggle, blood flowed rapidly from the older man’s wound and dripped onto the bedsheet.
“This method won’t work!” Dominic breathed heavily. “Stop it now!”
Austin was puzzled and caught himself before saying, “Why won’t this work? Many books say this is the most direct and effective way to deal with these symbiotes!”
