Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1706

Since it was a poison, there would always be an antidote. Finding the poisoner was the most direct and convenient way to get the antidote. Who would have thought the person would be "dead" before he found her?

With this sudden change in the situation, Elijah could only pin his hopes on Dominic.

"He's not poisoned. He's injected with a catalyst."

This stunned Elijah. He blinked, almost doubting his ears. If his ears were fine, there must be something wrong with his comprehension.

‘What is…a catalyst?’

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand. What is a catalyst?" This was his first encounter with the term.

"Well, it's similar to poisons. It also damages bodily functions. The only difference is that catalysts accelerate the growth and division of the body cells to improve one's physical fitness and other aspects," Lily explained in the most layman's terms possible.

As expected, Elijah tilted his head and thought momentarily before hesitantly asking, "So, it's something like a stimulant?"

"Yes, and no. It's similar, but the nature of it is completely different." Lily shook her head before she continued, "In short, it is counterproductive. Every cell in everyone's body has its own growth speed and cycle.

“Now they are forcibly changed and accelerated by drugs. Although he may be physically strong, his body can barely hold itself together. The contrast is what is causing him pain."

As she explained, her two hands gestured into a rope, and the two hands pulled in opposite directions. Austin's body was the rope, so he would be in extreme pain whenever he had an attack.

Just as he reached a dead end, Lily showed up. Her presence was unexpected, but she came at the right time. After cozying up with her son for a while, she went to look at Austin, checking his pulse.

Dominic was better than his apprentice regarding medical skills, but after being in seclusion for so long, his lack of modern medical knowledge prevented him from cracking the code.

He had only seen these things in sci-fi movies. He did not expect someone to research it or even experiment with people around him. This was the hardest pill to swallow.

"Then…is there a way to stop this catalyst?" Elijah asked cautiously.

‘Now that we know what it is, is there a way to detoxify Austin's body?’
