Chapter 172 The Obedient Little Beast.
Milly woke up from the pain. Her whole body felt as if her bones had been crushed and reassembled, it felt alien to her.
Low growling noises buzzed in her ears, creating a chaotic din… She forced her eyes open, despite the pain. The first thing she saw was the metal ceiling. Was I still in the basement?
The events from before flooded back into her mind–attending the banquet with George, buying an experiment subject who looked remarkably like her mute brother from the orphanage, the explosion, and shielding the experiment before losing consciousness…
Oh no, could he be in danger?
“Apollo!” Milly forced herself to sit up despite her discomfort.
Her shout immediately drew Apollo’s attention. Just moments before, he had been poised to attack, but now he whimpered softly and approached her like a cat being soothed.
He didn’t know how to heal her, but seeing Milly lying weakly before him made him incredibly anxious. Suddenly, he had an idea. He bit into his own wrist, and in a rush, pressed the bleeding wound to her mouth.
“Ahhh…” He couldn’t speak, so he anxiously pushed his bleeding wrist toward her. Milly didn’t understand his self–destructive behaviour but saw that he was now willing to be close to her. She smiled, forcing herself to endure the pain, and tried to calm him, “How about we go see a doctor?”
Apollo tilted his head, not understanding what she meant.

In the lab, the people in white coats always liked his blood. Drinking his blood made them happy and energetic. But… why didn’t she like it?
In his frustration, he bit into his wrist again, causing more blood to flow. Nervously, he pressed his wrist to her mouth. “Ahhh …
Milly didn’t understand his actions. Seeing his wrist bleeding profusely, she grabbed his arm to stop him from hurting himself further. “Don’t bite it. Are you in pain somewhere?”
“He means he wants you to drink his blood. He’s an experiment subject, injected with various substances since childhood. His blood probably contains special components that can rapidly heal wounds,” came George’s voice.
Milly looked over and saw George and several mercenaries cornered at one side of the room. Many of the mercenaries were covered in blood, as if they had been in a fierce battle. Even George had numerous wounds, blood flowing freely
Milly frowned. “How did you get injured? Was it those intruders?”
George frowned at her words and then glanced at the figure beside her. He didn’t plan to hide the truth and spoke honestly, “No, it was Apollo.”
He also began to call the experiment by his name.
“I told you before, he’s an experiment subject–emotionless, highly skilled in combat, an unparalleled

“He can kill anyone with ease. So far, no person or weapon has been able to subdue him effortlessly.
“In short, he’s dangerous.”
Milly looked at Apollo sitting next to her, his big eyes filled with dependence as he gazed at her, and she
was stunned.
Did he really do it?
But he looked so thin and weak–how could he have fought off all those mercenaries? They even had guns.
For the first time, she doubted George’s words. “No way, Apollo is very well–behaved…
As she spoke, she reached out and ruffled Apollo’s hair. Apollo immediately nuzzled against her like a cat, as obedient as could be, completely at odds with the ruthless image George had painted. Milly giggled, clearly having already forgotten Apollo’s earlier snarling, ferocious demeanour in the cage.
George narrowed his eyes, watching this scene unfold, and fell into deep thought.
He hadn’t expected that Apollo, as an experiment subject supposedly devoid of emotions, could become so close to a human.
Just moments before, when the bomb exploded, George had intended to rush forward and pull Milly away. But Apollo had moved faster, breaking the chains on his limbs with brute strength and, with incredible speed, grabbing Milly and shielding her from the blast.
However, the force of the explosion still caused Milly to lose consciousness.
As George approached, Apollo immediately looked at him warily, emitting a growl similar to a beast’s. He then suddenly launched a lethal attack aimed directly at George’s vital points.
Despite being prepared, George quickly found himself at a disadvantage against the experiment subject, who had been trained as a weapon for years.
The mercenaries who arrived to help couldn’t’use their guns to shoot to kill, so they resorted to hand–to- hand combat. However, they were soon covered in wounds as well.
Dragging long chains attached to his wrists and ankles, Apollo stayed close to Milly to protect her, never straying too far.
If he had fought without restraint, the room would likely have been drenched in blood by now.
Thinking of this, George sighed deeply. He had intended to give the experiment to Milly, but not in this way. Still, it seemed they had managed to tame him.
As long as Apollo was willing to protect Milly, that was enough.
Milly sat up and checked herself, relieved to find only minor injuries.
She used the key to unlock the chains still wrapped around Apollo’s wrists and ankles, then examined his injuries. They were severe, with old and new wounds crisscrossing his body in a horrifying pattern.
“We need to go to the hospital.”

Apollo didn’t understand her words but tilted his head and blinked innocently. Seeing her take his hand and start walking, he obediently followed.
However, as soon as he saw George approaching her, he transformed back into a wary little beast, growling from deep in his throat. “Grrr
He stood in front of Milly, baring his teeth at George, ready to pounce and tear his throat out if he got too
close.
George raised an eyebrow at Apollo’s vigilance, exuding a menacing aura in response..
Apollo glared back defiantly.
It seemed like they were seconds away from a fight.
