Chapter 43 - Helping Hand (2/2)

”I can see that you are taking this whole thing seriously being an alchemist” replied Austin in anger.

”What if you let him know why you can't fight him now and by the look of things, I think the both of you will be able to get the saliva of the horned leopard if you work together. But the problem is to get him to help you” suggested the bracelet.

”You are a genius do you know that” said Jason to the bracelet before turning to face Austin.

Looking at Austin who was angry, Jason couldn't help but let out a sigh as he said.

”I am sorry for not showing up at the appointed time, you see is not that I am taking all this seriously. The problem is with my mother who has been sick for a long time and I am thinking of finding a cure for her illness which is why I have been busy”.

Austin takes a look at Jason once more before taking a deep breath before taking a seat.

”You should have told me earlier instead of keeping me waiting. So tell me, have you been making any progress” asked Austin after calming down.

”Well I have found the cure to the illness” replied Jason as he let out a light.

”Since you have already found the cure then what are you waiting for” asked Austin in curiosity as to why he has not let the grand elder make the pill which he will gladly do.

”The problem is with a particular ingredient which will be needed in making the pill” replied Jason.

”Is the ingredient a rare one or is the price too much for you to handle, just let me know and I will see what I can do” said Austin.

”How wish the problem is with the price then I would have thought of a way but the thing is that the ingredient that is needed is the saliva of a horned leopard” reply Jason with a bitter smile.

”Now I see why you can't show up on the appointed time since it is really a challenging task you have to handle on your own so how about I go with you” said Austin.

”Wait a second, this has nothing to do with you” said Jason as he tried to persuade Austin.

”I know it has nothing to do with me but I will be missing a lot if I should skip this one out” replied Austin with a smile.

”I guess nothing I said will be able to stop you from coming along” asked Jason.

”How can I say no to such a challenge” replied Austin.

”But you might lose your life there” said Jason in all seriousness.

”Don't worry about that, if worst comes to worst I will just have to make a run for it” replied Austin.
