The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 148

Brody ground his teeth, shooting a sarcastic smile at Brian. “Why don’t we do more jobs together, make some big bucks, and split the rewards fifty-fifty?”

“Hell yeah!”

Brian’s eyes lit up. He jumped to his feet and started to calculate. “Each time I catch you, I get a bounty of thirty million from the boss. Split in half, that’s fifteen million each. A few more jobs, and we could buy a mansion in Rivenwood.”

“Shut up!”Draven saw Vivienne’s displeased face, walked over, and gave Brian a swift kick in the ass. While leading him away, he politely apologized to Brody. “Sorry for the interruption, our big man here was a notorious bed-wetter as a kid. He probably messed up his brain.”

Brody snorted and ignored him, turning his gaze to Vivienne. “Specter Healer, I’ll come looking for you if I survive.”

Vivienne’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She ordered her men to bind Brody immediately. As he watched them approach with handcuffs and shackles, a shadowy glint flickered in Brody’s eyes. As they drew near, he suddenly spat out several silver needles aimed at their faces.

Vivienne was already prepared for his move. Her eyes turned icy cold as she swiftly moved forward. Her right hand snatched at that air and effortlessly captured the needles between her fingers, blocking the attack.

“Taste your own poison.” She retorted, flicking the needles back at Brody. He grunted in pain as his eyes filled with rage, but he was powerless to retaliate.

Brody was a tricky one. Nobody knew how many poisons he had concealed on him. So, Vivienne took it upon herself to shackle him.

Even so, she felt that he was still extremely dangerous. Percival was waiting for her at home to cure his poisoning. She couldn’t personally escort Brody.

Thinking it over, she decided to propose a challenge to Brody. “How about another contest?”

“What kind of contest?” Brody’s eyes suddenly brightened.

“You’re not allowed to escape until you’ve neutralized all the new poisons I’ve developed.” Vivienne stated. She grabbed Brody’s chin and, without any hesitation, shoved a handful of medicinal herbs into his mouth.

After administering the poison, she sprinkled a pile of toxic powder over him and stabbed him with several needles.
