Chapter 566 "Skyler, who's your Superman?" William asked with a curious twinkle in his eye.
"He's my guardian angel. Whenever someone tries to bully me, he swoops in to punish them,” Skyler said, patting his little shoulder. "He'll protect you, too, someday." William blinked. “Can | meet him?" "He doesn't like being seen. He wears a mask just like you. He doesn't want to show his face’ Skyler explained.
"Oh" William raised an eyebrow. "So, he's like the Superman, Spider-man and Batman on TV, right?" “Exactly,” Skyler nodded.

"They'll be your friends, too, one day, Skyler said with a smile.
“What about your brother Geoffrey? Is he your twin?’ William inquired.
Skyler nodded. “You got it. We're twins, so we look exactly alike. But he's also fond of wearing masks. I've never seen his face.” Wow. William felt a rush of excitement inside, just like him and his buddy Kane.
"If you've never seen his face, how do you know you look alike?" “He told me so," Skyler looked down. “I don't like Geoffrey. He keeps nasty... bugs that bite." William wasn't a fan of bugs, either, “Why does he keep nasty bugs?" Skyler leaned in with a mysterious allure, whispering in his ear, "Because he's a wizard." William's eyes lit up. "He can do magic?" "Mhm,’ Skyler nodded. “He has a magic wand. Anyone under its spell does exactly as he says." “Wow! That's so cool’ William bubbled with excitement. "I wanna learn magic, too." Skyler waved his hand dismissively. "He practices dark, dark magic. It's not for kids." "But if it's to punish the bad guys and not hurt the good ones, learning dark magic isn't bad, right?" William said earnestly.
Skyler stroked his chin in thought. "Learning magic is complicated. Before that, you need to... you need to learn a lot. | can teach you." "Sure!" William clapped his hands joyfully.
Skyler made a 'shush’ gesture. "These are our secrets, and you must never tell anyone." “I know,” William mimed zipping his lips and locking them.
At night, Aurelia returned home and quickly called William over after learning that he had visited Skyler at the hotel.

"Skyler has a brother, our enemy. He has a crime syndicate that might hurt you,” Aurelia said, hoping her son, who was also a child prodigy, would understand. But William didn't see it that way. If he learned dark magic, he could defeat Skyler’s evil brother.
"Mommy, don't worry. The bodyquards are there. I'm going to Skyler’s hatel room to learn. He's taught me so much," William reassured her.
"What has he taught you?” Aurelia inquired.
"Today | learned chemistry. We did so many cool experiments. Skyler is amazing, nothing like | imagined" William said with admiration.
Aurelia stroked his head. "Then you can only study with him at the hotel. Don't go out, and most importantly, Skyler must never see your face, or you can't go see him anymore." As long as they stayed inside the hotel room, they should be safe, especially with all those bodyguards on watch.
"Don't worry. | was careful. And Skyler doesn't find it strange because so many people around him wear masks," William remarked.
A sharp glint flashed in Aurelia's eyes, and she said, "If you hear anything strange from Skyler, you must tell me, okay?" “Okay; William nodded, aware that some things were a secret between him and Skyler, like the Reaper's Stamp, which he couldnt share with Mommy.
