Chapter 1267
Austin looked helpless. "I genuinely didn’t tell them so. There's nothing I can do if they think that way! I
can't keep telling people I’m not your last student every time I meet them, can I?"
Dominic snorted. "Enough of your excuses!"
Austin was making excuses, but he was not entirely in the wrong.
The truth was that the others regarded him as Dominic's last student. Of course, he might have
somehow misled them, but he had never precisely made such a claim. Therefore, it might not be
technically correct to say that he had been flaunting Dominic's name.
"You're just the same as your grandpa, incapable yet filled with deviant ideas!" Dominic rebuked him
and said no more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, Lily did not say the young man did anything appalling.
Austin didn't think anything of Dominic's reprimands because he was used to them.
He leaned in with a smile and licked his lips. "Since others think I’m your last student, why don’t you
take me as one? Considering I’m your kin and you've taught me before, you might as well make me
your student.
"This way, you don't have to worry about me ruining your reputation, and I can even bring it to new
heights! Also, none of your students achieved anything. Besides the ones that have wandered around
the world, your last student has never shown himself or done anything worth mentioning. It's such a
waste of your skills! But if you take me as your-"
"In your dreams!" Dominic cut him off impatiently while waving. "Don’t bother to think about it!"
He scowled and snorted. "With your limited talent, you're not even qualified to be a servant to my
students! Don’t think that I've not seen you through. Do you want to tell me you'd like to learn medicine
to save people's lives? Do you want to do it for the sake of humanity? Save it!"
Ì..."
"You're simply planning to provide your service to the rich and powerful for money, aren't you? You
don't wish to bring new heights to herbal medicine. All you care about is bringing glory to your family!"
As Dominic had correctly guessed what was on Austin's mind, a look of embarrassment flashed across
Austin's face. However, the young man soon thought his intention was justified.
"What's so wrong about that? We pour our energy, time, and resources into learning herbal medicine,
so what if we make money? Also, while it’s true that I'm trying to bring glory to our family, don't forget
that you're also one of us. It's our family you're talking about, and I'm your sibling's grandson by blood,
Granduncle!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDominic chuckled coldly as his face lost all its gentleness and looked forbidding. "Do not call me that. I
have no children and don't deserve to be your granduncle."
"I..."
"All right, I'm getting tired. Why don't you go home and take good care of your grandpa? Can someone
please show him the door?" He whipped around and went upstairs unceremoniously. It was evident he
did not want to say anything more to Austin.
Although he did not want to give up, Austin knew what the older man was like. He worried that if he
were to say anything more, he would be barred from entering the house ever again.
He could only stare after the man in resentment. 'Then have some rest. I'll visit you another time.”
Hearing no answer from Dominic as he went out of view, Austin let out a sigh of relief. 'At least he
hasn’t blacklisted me yet.’
Austin left the manor and saw that the red sports car at the gate was already gone.
"Tsk! I wonder what kind of man drives such a car. It's so girlie, no matter how I look at it!'
