The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 673

Chapter 673

The twisted soul of a creep like that would never do a good deed unless he had been scared out of his wits.

Despite his young age, my boy has quite a sharp tongue.

William pulled a face. "I spooked him with a ghost story. Can you believe it?

He thought about donating and then asking for a refund. What a rare breed of weirdo.”

Arnold smirked with a hint of mockery. "A high school dropout scoundrel could do anything. Be careful with these types, kiddo. You're still young, and if he gets desperate, you could get hurt.” William sneered with disdain. "Uncle Leopold and the bodyguards were there.

He nearly wet his pants seeing us. Guys like him only bully the weak. Deep down, he's a coward.” "Safety first, regardless,’ Arnold cautioned.

William nodded, showing he understood. He and Skyler went to check ona little kitten at the vet clinic the following day.

The kitten's wounds were healing, but it was still jittery around strangers due to past trauma. "Hey there, Mittens,” William waved. “I'm William. I've got great news for you.

Daddy has agreed to adopt you, so you won't have to go to the shelter.”

Mittens had been arching its back, fur on end. But upon seeing William and hearing his voice, recognition seemed to dawn on the little creature. It relaxed and meowed softly.

William broke into a grin. “Skyler, Mittens remembers us."

Skyler nodded with a smile. “Sometimes, animals are nicer and more grateful than humans. They never forget... Animais will always be like that, while some people don't even deserve to be human.” "Those who refuse to act humanely should fearn their lesson, like that cat abuser,” William said firmly.

Skyler patted his head. "Did you ever consider what might have happened if that guy hadn't been nabbed for his animal cruelty? The cops could do nothing with him, and he'd keep causing trouble at the Wildlife Foundation, demanding his money back. Not all bad guys respond to a gentle slap on the wrist."

William fell silent. He was still too young to grasp the complexities of human nature. Maybe he would find a better solution when he got older and wiser.

After playing with Mittens for a while, they headed home.

William settled on the couch, picking up a psychology book.

"Skyler, understanding psychology is crucial. To crack the criminal mind, to break through their defenses and outmaneuver them mentally, he mused.

Skyler chuckled. "That's criminal psychology. Regular psychology is more about treating mental health issues like depression, sleepwalking, obsessive-compulsive disorder...

He casually ate a piece of fruit, continuing, "Magic comes in two ways. One is white magic, which focuses on healing and helping, and the other is dark magic, which is all about punishment and domination.”

William's eyes widened. "So you practice white magic, and Geoffrey practices dark magic?" "Something like that,’ Skyler shrugged nonchalantly.

William declared earnestly, "I want to learn both. I want to be the most powerful person in the world"

Skyler made a silly face. “Would you keep venomous bugs, too?"

"No way! I hate nasty bugs!" William shook his head vigorously like a bobblehead toy.

For some reason, William felt Skyler was different that day. He seemed to have grown up and looked like an adult.

Skyler's mouth twisted into a half-smile. "But without keeping the venomous bugs, how will you find the antidote?"

William paused, realizing the logic. "So, we keep them in secret?"

"Just one, the Bug King of the poisonous bugs,” Skyler whispered conspiratorially.

Okay," William nodded in agreement.
