Chapter 2383

Austin left the embassy as confused as when he came. After all, he and Dominic hardly talked about anything. On his way back, Austin kept thinking about what the old man said but could not make sense of it.

‘What the hell is Uncle Dom trying to say?’ he wondered.

Alexander and Mike were waiting in the house. When they saw Austin, they quickly went over. “So? Why did they invite you?”

Worried for Austin’s safety, Alexander even had several men escort him in another car. When Alexander and Mike received news that Austin was on his way back, they were relieved and puzzled because he came out alone.

“Did they threaten you? What else did they say?” Mike asked anxiously, “Was it Rhea? What was she up to?”

Only she could make such an invitation and not do anything to Austin.

“No.” Austin shook his head and looked at Alexander. “I met with Uncle Dom.”

“Dominic?” Mike was surprised.

Alexander was just as puzzled because he did not expect Austin to see Dominic so easily.

‘Why would the embassy let Dom see Austin?’ “Yeah.” Austin nodded. “Well, if you can even call it a meeting.”

Mike exchanged glances with Alexander and then looked at Austin. “Why do you look so confused? Tell us what happened!”

Mike and Alexander led him to the living room and poured him a cup of tea.

Austin was thirsty since he did not drink the coffee at the embassy. He blew at the hot tea and drank half of it.

“I met my granduncle, but he told me not to say anything. So, I just listened without telling him much. When I told him to leave with me, he refused and said he had stuff to do.” Austin looked at the bewildered Alexander. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

The latter listened intently. Alexander then frowned and said, “So, Dom refused to leave with you.”

“Uh-huh.” Austin nodded.

“Dom also told you to say nothing and just listen.” After a pause, Alexander asked, “What did he say afterward?”

Austin frowned as he tried to recall his conversation with the old man. “Nothing much, actually. Oh, yeah, he told us to do nothing.”

“What?!” Mike exclaimed. “Is he under Rhea’s control?!”

Austin shook his head. “No, it didn’t seem like it. He’s lucid, and he explicitly told us not to do anything because the matter is beyond us. However, he also says not to be too anxious because there will always be someone who can handle it.

“What we can’t do, others can do for us.” Although he repeated Dominic’s words, he still could not figure out what the old man meant. “That’s why I said I could hardly call it a meeting.”

Alexander stopped Austin and asked, “What else did Dom say?”
