The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel 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'? Some folks 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, I believe you can take Geoffrey down. You're stronger than him."

Skyler ruffled his hair with a grin. "I'll... I'll do my best."

When William returned to Blossom Villa that evening, Aurelia was already home.

"Sweetie, what did you learn from Skyler today?" Aurelia asked.

"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.

Leopold swung by with news that Tanya would be coming to Elysium soon.

"Jessica has agreed to her visit to Elysium?"
