Chapter 674 "Skyler, how do we raise a Bug King?” William asked curiously.
Skyler spoke with deliberate slowness, "You catch a hundred different bugs, put them... put them in a jar, and after a hundred days, only one... one will survive. That's the Bug King. You can use it to make poisons, like a witch's brew. Geoffrey does it that way." "Whoa, dude.” William stuck out his tongue in amazement. "Geoffrey's amazing, a real jack-of-all-trades. If only he'd use his powers for good." Skyler shrugged. "Haven't you read ‘The Three-Body Problem’? Sfolks are conquerors, and others are saviors. Geoffrey's the former. He likes to conquer... 'If you're with me, you thrive; If you're against me, you dive! Anyone who won't submit to him is asking for destruction.” William gasped, thinking, “No wonder Geoffrey wanted to take down Uncle Leopold” Leopold was the head of the foremost family in the West, the King of Elysium. Geoffrey wanted to beat him to prove he was mightier.
"Skyler, | believe you can take Geoffrey down. You're stronger than him" Skyler ruffled his hair with a grin. "I'll... I'l do my best.
When William returned to Blossom Villa that evening, Aurelia was already home.

"We studied biology, identified toxic bugs, and explored antidotes,” William said in his childlike voice.
"Wow, they're useful’ Aurelia chuckled, impressed her son was diving into such complex stuff that she didn't even know.
William cheekily raised an eyebrow. "Everything Skyler teaches is useful." After her son fell asleep, Aurelia slipped quietly out of the villa.
Leopald swung by with news that Tanya would be coming to Elysium soon.
"Jessica has agreed to her visit to Elysium?" "She did. Only to see if Tanya's really ill’ Leopald said.
Aurelia suspected it was a ruse. If Tanya were at death's door, she wouldn't travel all this way.
"If she’s not going to make it through the year, how could she have the energy to cto Elysium? She must be panicking, seeing Skyler close to slipping from her grasp, and she's coming to set him straight.” "Let's wait and see,” Leopold said solemnly.
"Geoffrey might be tailing her with a mask on. We need to keep a close eye on everyone around her,’ Aurelia advised.
Leopold nodded thoughtfully. "Best not to spook them." Aurelia took William to Skyler's place the next day.

“Angel, Orchid, Rose, and Daisy are all blooming." "They're beautiful,” Aurelia smiled softly, whispering, “Skyler, your Aunt Tanya is coming to Elysium." Skyler jumped in startiement, his hand shaking violently, and the watering can fell to the ground.
Then he clutched his head, crying in distress, “Aunt Tanya will takeback to Eastwood Heights. | don't want to go back." William held his hand. "Skyler, don't be scared. Uncle Leopold's got your back. In Elysium, what Uncle Leopold says goes. No one can make you if you don't want to go back." "Right" Aurelia nodded, "Rest easy. You can stay in Elysium as long as you like. You don't have to return to Eastwood Heights.
Remember this. You're an adult now. You have the right to make your own choices, and no one can interfere." Reassured by her words, Skyler calmed down a bit.
Aurelia patted his shoulder. "Skyler, don't go out alone with your aunt. Just meet her at home. We don't want her sneaking you away or taking you to see Geoffrey." "Okay." Skyler nodded vigorously, remembering the painful bites when he didn't obey. He didn't want to be bitten by those bugs ever again.
"I'm sure Aunt Tanya will be with Geoffrey, because he listens to everything Aunt Tanya says. She favors Geoffrey, not Skyler."
