The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 160

Thomas shook his head.

“No, I’ve covertly checked out every student. So far, I haven’t found anything unusual.”

“We must continue searching.” Percival’s voice was gravelly. “That girl is the key to investigating what went wrong with Lark’s last mission. We have to find her.”

“Understood,” replied Thomas. “But, during our investigation, we found out that, besides us, two other groups are also on the lookout for this girl, one being the GTO, and the other seems to be the Nine Mystics Society.”

“Why on earth would the Nine Mystics Society get involved?”

The Nine Mystics Society was an incredibly ancient organization. They were shrouded in mystery and wielded enormous power; they were even more elusive than the GTO.

The people of the Nine Mystics Society seldom made their moves.

Yet this time, they were mobilizing for this girl.

“We haven’t figured that out yet.” Thomas shook his head. “All we know is that Lark is tangled in too many secrets.”

Just then, Vivienne, who had finished setting the revision schedule for the remaining half–month and managed to settle the transfer student, Coral, heard the name “Lark” coming from Thomas.

Her eyes narrowed subtly as her gaze rested on Percival’s back for a moment with a barely detectable glint in her eyes.

A moment later, she walked over. “What about Lark?”

Percival gave Thomas a look.

Thomas immediately responded. “A friend of mine has recently taken to bird–keeping and ended up with a lark, which is a protected species, and got fined.”

Vivienne didn’t press further. Her eyes were fleetingly scrutinizing the faces of Percival and Thomas.

“Everything arranged?” Percival asked Vivienne.

“Yes.” Vivienne nodded. “We’re down to the last physical education class for the seniors. When do you plan to schedule it?”

“The day after tomorrow afternoon.”

With the college entrance exams just half a month away, the physical education class couldn’t possibly be scheduled in the last week before the exams.

“Alright.” Vivienne nodded and headed towards the staff office.

Percival followed her after a glance at Thomas, who left on his own.
