NovelOnlineChapter 727 Skyler furrowed his brow, "Why would they hang out with that jerk?" “Birds of a feather flock together. They are all troublemakers, hence they stick within their kind. And we're on the right side of the line, so we band together,” William explained with deadpan seriousness.
Skyler couldn't hide his disappointment in Tanya and Geoffrey for associating with Megan, the ultimate bad seed.
It seemed they were fated to be on opposing sides.
Because Megan was enemy number one to Aurelia, and her enemies were his enemies.
Anyone who helped Megan was also his enemy.
As they spoke, a man approached from a distance, his hands clutching a cage shrouded in black fabric.
His steps were stiff and robotic, his eyes staring blankly ahead, devoid of any spirit.
The bodyguards sensed something was off. As the man drew near, one of them intercepted him, "What do you think you're doing?" The man remained silent, suddenly ripping off the cloth to reveal a beehive inside the cage.

The bodyguards reacted with shock, immediately trying to snatch the cage from him, while the others shielded Skyler and William, ushering them to retreat swiftly.
Releasing his grip, the man let the cage hit the ground, and the venomous bees swarmed out, stinging anyone in sight.
Chaos erupted in the plaza as people screamed and scattered in all directions.
The bodyguards got Skyler and William into the car, while the two who had grappled for the cage suffered stings.
Many were injured in the plaza, including the elderly, children, and a pregnant woman.
The man who released the bees stumbled away in a daze and was sent flying by a truck as he staggered across the road.
William and Skyler were terrified, clinging tightly to each other.
“William, don't be scared, and I'll protect you" "Skyler, I'll protect you too." Once the injured colleagues were in the car, the bodyguards drove off hastily, anxious to keep the bees from entering through any crevices.
Their top priority was to safeguard William and Skyler.
Inside Astral Enterprises’ building.
Aurelia received a call from Kane, informing her of the attack on William and Skyler. She immediately notified Leopold, who had already heard about the incident from the bodyguards.
Together, they rushed to the hospital.
Fortunately, thanks to the bodyguards’ vigilance, William and Skyler had left early and had not been stung.
The injured bodyguards were receiving IV treatment in the emergency room.
The ER was crowded with victims of the stings, with children crying out in pain.
Aurelia wrapped her arms around William and Skyler.

Skyler was just a kid and must have been terrified, and he needed her comfort.
“Thank God you two are safe. You gave me quite the scare, you know." “What happened?" Leopold asked.
"That lunatic came out of nowhere, heading straight for Mr. William and Skyler. Jerry and Vinson stopped him, but who could've guessed he had a beehive in that cage? When he dropped it, all the bees flew out. Luckily, we made it back to the car without getting stung, but Jerry and Vinson werent so fortunate,” explained the bodyguard, Bob.
A cold, sharp glint passed through Aurelia’s eyes, "Leopold, do you think this was a random act of violence, a society reject, or someone targeting Skyler and William specifically?" Leopold was in thought, like a storm brewing in his eyes.
"t's likely the latter" Skyler mumbled, "He looked like he was hypnotized or something." William shuddered, "Could Geoffrey be behind this?" Leopold had already dispatched people to the police station to investigate the incident.
The man was hit and died on the scene, and the police quickly identified him.
He had a history of mental illness, had seriously injured people before, and even killed a pregnant woman.
However, his mental illness shielded him from punishment. After a few years in a mental institution, he was released.
