Chapter 570

"Those people should live with fear and pain, wallowing in guilt and remorse. They ought to publicly apologize online and shake the world awake.”

Skyler cracked a mischievous grin. "My brother Geoffrey always says the strong set the world's rules. If you're strong enough, you can make your own rules.”

William stroked his little chin, pondering deeply. "How can one become the strongest in the world?" With solemnity, Skyler laid out Geoffrey's maxims. “First, you gotta have cash. Second, power. Third, you need some magic. Fourth, be sharp as a tack, and fifth, have a crew that's loyal to the core.” William blinked his bright eyes, a mixture of understanding and confusion on his face.

“It sounds hard."

Skyler tousled his hair reassuringly. "Don't worry. You'll get there"

William stood on his tiptoes, a yearning in his voice. "I wish I could grow up fast. When you're grown, you can do anything.”

"You've got it wrong,’ Skyler waved his hand and corrected him. “It's kids who can do anything. Grown-ups? They get all tangled up in rules. Kids don't need to follow any and can do what they want."

William put on a sly smile as he grasped Skyler's point.

Yeah, who would suspect a thing from a three-year-old kid?

"Skyler, help me get stronger. I want to learn more magic."

“Easy on it? Skyler chuckled.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Elysium, the bodyguards had been reviewing the convenience store's surveillance and discovered that the mysterious man was a petty thief.

Following the trail caught on nearby cameras, they soon caught him red-handed.

He was a typical loafer who was too lazy to work at the factory and always hanging around, up to no good.

Leopold had his people check the park's cameras, too, but darn luck, they were out of service and hadn't been replaced.

After returning from Harmony Hill Mansion, Leopold headed straight for Blossom Villa.

Aurelia didn't want to see him, but in the end, she came out and said, “I'm on my period and feeling awful. I want to hit the sack early. So, spit it out. What's up?"

"Be extra careful these days, avoid chatting with strangers,’ Leopold cautioned

Aurelia's gaze darkened slightly. "Something happened?"

Leopold spoke gravely, "The AK Group has sent someone new, who's said to be more vicious than Kerry. He has cursed Megan.”

Aurelia shuddered at the thought. Megan must have been turned, which meant the AK Group wanted to eliminate the traitor.

"What does being cursed look like?"

Leopold played the surveillance footage from Megan's room.

When Aurelia saw the line "I am a bitch” written on the mirror, she couldnt help but snort with laughter. It was damn accurate.

"This new guy's got a sense of humor.”

Leopold ruffled her hair. "We still don't know who he is. It's hard to guard against the unknown. You must be careful.”

"It's you who should be careful” Aurelia countered. "You're their ultimate target. And you have to protect Kane.

Get home earlier, and don't always leave him alone.”

Leopold felt a little speechless. He had stayed close whenever Kane went out, ensuring his absolute safety.

"I'll keep Kane safe.” Aurelia's attention returned to the video. Megan looked possessed as if controlled by someone else. But apparently, the intent was to scare, not to kill. Otherwise, it would have been a blade, not lipstick, on Megan's face.

"It looks like some kind of drug, not a curse”

She'd heard of crooks using drugs to make victims compliant and handing over their valuables without a fight.
