Kenneth swallowed hard, quickening his pace to catch up with Percival.

“Bro, what the heck is going on? Isn’t our home security top-notch? How could someone leave this on our doorstep? Should I tell Grandpa?”

Percival suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing Kenneth to crash into his broad shoulders. His nose stung, and tears streamed down his face without warning.

Rubbing his nose, Kenneth muttered, “Bro, what was that for?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be at practice today?” Percival asked, his tone indifferent.

“Aw, crap!” Kenneth nearly forgot. Reminded by Percival, he hurriedly changed into his gear, grabbed his backpack, and dashed off.

Finally, Percival had some peace and quiet. He sat back on his bed, contemplating the gorgeous weather outside. It would be a shame not to go out and enjoy it.

[Vivienne, let’s go out on a date!] He texted.

Vivienne had just woken up. Seeing the message on her phone, she chuckled and replied, [Suspended and still in the mood for fun?]

[Yeah, a rare break from the grind.]

Stretching lazily, Vivienne sat up, about to agree, when another message came through.

It was a top-secret code.

Her fingers flew over the screen, deciphering the message. It was Quincy!

After all her time undercover at GTO, this was her first direct communication.

[The boss is back; orders are to hit the Miller family!]

Vivienne narrowed her eyes. GTO had set their sights on the Miller family?

Or did they think the Millers were holding Belle?

The Miller family had always been under the protection of the Nine Mystics Society. It was not surprising that GTO had caught wind of them. They did not deserve to have lasted this long if they could not even sniff out that much.

But that was all they would find.
