NovelEnglish"Is he trying to force Skyler to cough up the antidote?" Aurelia squinted slightly, her eyes revealing a razor-sharp edge.
"If I'm not mistaken, he's not just looking to detox Megan, and it's also because he's pissed off to high heaven.
He probably thinks he's the bee's knees in creating bio-weapons, pressing everyone else's nose to the grindstone, but he can't even crack the poison his own despised brother cooked up. This is a slap in the face to his authority and smarts, and he can't stand it." Skyler perked up at this, "Angel, does that mean I'm better than Geoffrey?" Aurelia's smile was gentle, "You've always been better than Geoffrey. Evil can never overcome justice." "Right, I'm the messenger of justice." Skyler grinned broadly.
Leopold spoke in a deep voice, "For now, you all better stay indoors and just have fun at home." William whispered, "Actually, Skyler and | went out on purpose, trying to draw Geoffrey out. We thought we might have been wrong, that Geoffrey wasn't tailing Skyler after all. But it turns out he had Skyler's moves down pat, like a shadow." Leopold ruffled his hair, "Next time, you gotta tell me and your mom first, no more going rogue." "Okay." William nodded, "We wore tiny cameras made by Kane. Let's check the footage later for any clues." Aurelia massaged her temples, suddenly feeling like she was not as smart as a three-year-old.
After dropping Skyler off at the villa, Aurelia and Leopold took William back to the Stirling Mansion.

Leopold pulled up the surveillance video captured by the tiny tiger lapel pin camera.
As a teacher in artificial intelligence and cutting-edge tech for Kane, Leopold was an undisputed king in his domain.
"Dad, the madman came on foot, no car, no bus or subway, so he must live nearby." Kane analyzed.
Leopold booted up an Al robot capable of searching for targets in video feeds, pinpointing them even if they're just a barely visible speck on the screen.
In no time, the Al had found all the footage with the target, zooming in to maximum clarity for the human eye.
Across the plaza, there was a dilapidated alley slated for demolition, surrounded by ruins, desolate and deserted.
William's seat faced the alley, and his camera had captured a crucial moment.
A man in a full black outfit with a black helmet held a chain with a sinister pendant at its end, apparently saying something to another man.
"He's hypnotizing the madman," William exclaimed.
Unfortunately, the man's back was to the camera, and with his helmet on, even a frontal shot wouldn't have revealed his face.

However, there was a hexagram tattoo on his wrist.
"Could it be Geoffrey?" Aurelia asked.
"It's not Geoffrey," William shook his head, "Skyler says Geoffrey can hypnotize people out of thin air, without any tools. This guy needs a pendant to do it, so he's nowhere near Geoffrey's league." Aurelia figured there must be more hypnotists within AK Group; Geoffrey wouldn't show up in person.
Leopold saved the surveillance footage and sent it to Kevin to pass on to the police.
Whether or not Geoffrey showed himself, he was definitely in Elysium.
William stroked his chin like an adult, deep in thought, "I'm really curious, how does Geoffrey manage to track Skyler anytime, anywhere?" Kane pulled out another piece of his high-tech weapon from the drawer.
