"Bait?"
William asked, perplexed.
"Haven't you noticed? Your family is actually a bloodline of the Extraordinary, originating from an ancient lineage - you are a descendant of it," Aaron said. His gaze rested on William's slightly purple-tinged eyes as he continued, "Your lineage is near extinction, and it has not happened due to natural causes, but because it has been targeted by some dark force... Don't tell me you haven't had any inklings! Think about your parents' death. Do you really believe it was just a typical accident?"
"Dark force..." William's eyes gradually turned red as he growled, "Who are they?"
"I have a guess, which is why I kept you here. They would have found you sooner or later, and you are my bait..." Aaron admitted, unapologetic about using William for his plans. "Of course, this is also because you seemed to have no intention of using curses to get ahead. Otherwise, I would have let your carcass float down the Dorsum River!"
