NovelOnlineChapter 623 He was like a mythical hero with Herculean strength, a master of disquises who could reach the heavens or delve into the netherworld with his cloak of invisibility.
"Is Geoffrey really that amazing?" “Yep.” Skyler nodded with the certainty of a child who believed in superheroes. "He's a rare gem in this world, a genius who can hypnotize not just people, but animals too." "Has he ever hypnotized you?” Aurelia inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Not everyone's susceptible to hypnosis. Scatterbrains like me or William here, we're immune." Skyler explained with a grin.
"Why's that?" With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Skyler stuck out his tongue, "Because we're kids, and our attention’s all over the place, so it's super tough to hypnotize us." "Oh." Aurelia arched an eyebrow. She had heard from Leopold that it was indeed difficult to hypnotize children.
"Do you think someone like Megan would be easily hypnotized?" Skyler flashed a sly smile, “Next time | see her, I'll give it a shot for you." Aurelia raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Skyler, | think you could be even more impressive than Geoffrey because you've got brains just like him. But what's more important is you've got a kinder heart.” Skyler stuck out his tongue again, "Then why do people say that only the good die young and the bad live forever?" Aurelia choked on her words. She had no answer to that.
It was an unfair world, after all, where from the moment of birth, people were ranked and categorized, survival of the fittest, with no real sense of fairness.
"The big bad wolves who commit crimes end up behind bars, munching on bread and water, not living a thousand years, right?" Skyler sighed, "That depends on where you are. Like in Country Verdecalma, the law is practically non-existent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's all about who's the top dog." His words cut to the core, highlighting why Verdecalma, with its factional divides and chaotic status quo, allowed groups like the AK Group to thrive.
Aurelia poured him a glass of yogurt, "Skyler, you know so much. You must have traveled a lot." “Yep.” He nodded. "Tanya took me. She'd always bring Geoffrey along too. She dotes on him, always scolding me for not being as smart." William puffed up his cheeks, "Skyler, you're a genius, not dumb at all. We all like you. Your aunt is a real oddball, liking the bad kid and not the good one." Skyler stuck out his tongue again, "That's why | don't want to go back. | want to stay here." Aurelia took a bite of a lemon bar, steering the conversation back.
"Can sleepwalking be cured?" "It's like mental illness; you can control the symptoms, but there's no total cure. A psychological trigger or stress can cause a relapse." As he spoke, Skyler shrank back a little, "Angel, you better keep Leopold away from her. She would want to start slicing watermelon in the middle of the night." Aurelia had no sway over Leopold, and it was a miracle if he listened to her at all.
"Now that everyone knows about Megan's sleepwalking, he'll be cautious." William blinked, an indescribable look fleeting across his eyes.
“Mommy, why are you so interested in Megan's condition? You should be happy she has sleepwalking. She's the one who stole Uncle Leopold from you." Aurelia gently pinched his cheek, "I'm not concerned about her. It's just that now she's going around accusing me, claiming | cursed her. | don't want to take the fall for that.” William furned, “Such a bad woman, accusing you, that's downright low." "Yep." Skyler agreed wholeheartedly, and Megan was the villain.
“Curses are like those superstitions, blown out of proportion when it's really just poison mixed with psychological suggestion.” Hearing it, Aurelia's eyes widened in surprise, "Wow, Skyler, you know so much, even about that?"
