Chapter 663
After a moment of silence, William asked again, "Skyler, do your folks know about Geoffrey?"
"No, they don't, Skyler shook his head.
"Was he like, kidnapped by some bad guys right when he was born? Is that why he was separated from you guys?" William inquired.
"Yeah, he was snatched away by some evil dudes right at birth. Mom went abroad to look for him and got into trouble, which is why she split from Uncle Leo. Luckily, Dad found him and rescued him. Otherwise, he might have ended up a bad seed like Geoffrey; Skyler took a sip of his juice and whispered, "I think he was taken by Aunt Tanya, you know? ‘Cause he's always been with her."
William's eyes widened in shock, "Man, your aunt's way out of line. Why would she do something like that?"
“I dunno,’ Skyler hung his head low, "Aunt Tanya's always been strange, and she's always mean to me, even hits me. I don't... I don't like being around her at all, but Dad keeps making me spend time with her."
William pouted, "Your family sounds like a bunch of weirdos. Lucky for you, you're staying in Elysium now. You won't ever have to do stuff you don't want to do anymore."
“Yeah, Skyler perked up, smiling again, “I love Elysium. It's way cooler here than back in Eastwood Heights."
As William munched on a chocolate chip cookie, he asked, "So, your brother Geoffrey, he's here in Elysium too, huh? He's not planning on sticking around, is he?"
Skyler put his hands on his hips and stomped his foot, "I'm not playing with him anymore. His nasty bugs bit Angel, and I... I'm mad at him."
William clenched his little fists, "That's why we gotta be stranger than him, to protect Mom.
"Right? Skyler nodded in agreement, "We'll beat him. After we finish the cookies, let's practice the third level of my hypnosis technique."
As the name suggests, this kind of hypnosis technique was Skyler's own creation, a stealthy method of putting people under hypnosis, even capable of mass hypnosis.
He also had a technique to prevent being hypnotized by enemies, known as the hypnosis defense technique.
William was his chosen apprentice, the chosen one, and Skyler was determined to pass on all his secret skills to him.
In the CEO's office at Astral Enterprises.
