Aurelia was in thought, "You know, | get the feeling there's bad blood between Geoffrey and Tanya. Even a mother and son can have a rift, especially when power and profit are on the line. Blood ties can be forgotten." This thought resonated with Leopold.

"A rift is good for us. We can exploit it, divide and conquer." The next day, Aurelia took William to Skyler's room to invite him for breakfast.

"Skyler, did Thomas really hypnotize you yesterday?" Skyler scratched his head and offered a sheepish grin. "Actually, no." William snickered behind his hand, "Mom, Skyler has a PhD in psychology. How could he fall for hypnosis that easily?" Aurelia's face lit up with surprise and curiosity, "Wow, Skyler, you're amazing. Spill the beans, what happened?" Skyler raised an eyebrow smugly, "Angel, when Thomas took out that necklace, you smelled something sweet, right?" "Yes," Aurelia nodded.

"That was a hallucinogenic agent. He hid it inside the necklace, and when he swung it, the drug would be released, fogging the mind, making forced hypnosis possible." Pausing for effect, Skyler continued, "When he tried to hypnotize you in the hallway, | caught onto the necklace's secret. | pretended to have a stomachache, dashed to the restroom, and secretly took an antidote. That way, the drug did not affect me. So, no forced hypnosis for me." Aurelia gave a thumbs up, praising, "Brilliant, Skyler. You never show your full hand." Then she adopted a more serious tone, whispering, "When Thomas freaked out, slapped Tanya, and yelled at her, was that some kind of reverse hypnosis you performed?" "No, | didn't hypnotize him." Skyler shook his head.

Aurelia was taken aback, but he didn't seem to be lying.

"Could it be that there's another hypnotist on this cruise?" Aurelia was curious.

"Looks like it." Skyler pulled a funny face, exchanging a glance with William, who was internally gloating - he was the other hypnotist.

Aurelia would never suspect him, her mind churning with the thought of another hypnotist aboard. Who could it be? "Hopefully, if there is another hypnotist, they're a friend, not a foe." William's voice was soft and childlike, "Mommy, | don't think he is an enemy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hypnotized Thomas." "That's a relief." Aurelia smiled, not wanting to scare them, and dropped the subject.

William suggested, "Mommy, let's head to the dining hall. Skyler and | will join you in a bit." "Okay." Aurelia left the room first.

As the door closed, William grinned. "Skyler, how'd | do?" Skyler chuckled, "Great. You're ready for level five training." William had a knack for hypnosis, and he was bound to become the best hypnotist.

William bounced with joy, "Thomas is in for it now. | wonder how Tanya will manage to bail him out?" Skyler stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Escaping might be his only chance." William was startled, "You mean jumping overboard?" "Yes." Skyler nodded, "Maybe Geoffrey's men will pick him up at sea." William quickly said, "Then we need to alert Leopold and keep a tight watch on him. We can't let him escape. He used those poison bees, and we've got to hand him over to the police." Meanwhile, Tanya made her way to Leopold's room.

"Leopold, how's Thomas?" She asked.

Leopold spoke in a hushed tone, "Tanya, I'm starting to suspect he might be a spy planted by the criminal organization to keep tabs on you."
