In the backyard of the sprawling estate, the kids huddled together, an island unto themselves amidst the manicured gardens. No

one else was around.

How did Geoffrey find out? Was he using sgadget to spy on him?

He glanced upward, scanning the skies for drones, but found nothing.

Mossy Rock Retreat boasted state-of-the-art security systems, with guards patrolling around the clock, ensuring not even a fly

could sneak in or a mosquito buzzed out. How on earth did Geoffrey know he was munching on chocolate chip cookies?

[Skyler, surprise much? I've got my eyes on you, always watching. Nothing you do escapes me.]

Skyler pursed his lips in annoyance, [How did you know? You put cameras here?]

[I've got my ways, but I'm not about to spill my secrets. I've told you before, I'm unstoppable. I can reach the heavens above and

the depths below. There's nothing I can't do.]

Skyler scoffed, [Yeah, right. You're so full of it, your bragging's hit the stratosphere.]

He didn't believe for a second that Geoffrey had any godlike powers. The guy must have tampered with the systems and planted

scameras.

[Don't get cocky. We've got the latest detection equipment here, and it won't be long before we find and dismantle your spy

gadgets.]

[I bet you could search for a century and still cup empty.]

[Don't overestimate yourself. You'll end up eating your words. ]

[Confidence is my middle name.]

Skyler pulled a face at his phone.

[All you do is talk big. When have you ever beaten Leopold? Never. You couldn't even defend your own lair, so cut the act.]

He was baiting him, hoping to get a rise out of Geoffrey.

And it worked. Geoffrey's response was a string of furious emojis.

[You backstabbing mutt, puffing up others while putting down your own brother. Once I take care of Leopold, you're next. You're like

a gnat to me, and squashing you is nothing. If you weren't my brother, you'd already be pushing up daisies.]

Skyler retorted, [If you could've takenout, you would've by now. You just don't have it in you. My life's too big for you to handle.

Even if you sentto the Grim Reaper, he'd turnaway because I'm the good guy, and good guys live long lives.]

[Bull. This world is survival of the fittest. The bigger the baddie, the longer they last. ]

Skyler clenched his teeth, wishing Geoffrey wasn't his brother. Geoffrey was insufferable, a true villain.

[So you admit you're a scourge? Always causing chaos in the Stirling family. Aren't you bored? Why not get a real job?]

[Taking down Leopold and ruling the Stirling family is my job.]

[Too bad for you, you're never going to make it.]

[Don't underestimate me. Just wait and see. When the tcomes, don't be kneeling before me, begging for mercy. I won't forgive

you, you traitorous cur. I'll end you unless you turn over a new leaf right now.]

[It's you who should be turning back. There's always a chance for redemption. And trust me, you'll be the one crying in the end.]

Just then, William and Kane noticed Skyler's distress and crunning over.

"What's wrong, Skyler?"

"What happened? What are you looking at?"
