The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

The helicopter descended slowly, and Percival leaped from the aircraft, for once not immediately rushing to Vivienne’s side but instead locking eyes with his mentor.

In an instant, the area was swarmed by the special squad agents of the Vanguard Agency.

F-Poison, bound by a robot, was being escorted to the helicopter.

She struggled briefly, her face devoid of emotion. “The family reunion over there. Have you really decided this is the end?”

Percival instinctively shielded Vivienne and Karen behind him, eyes wary as he watched F-Poison.

F-Poison let out a mocking laugh, and the expressions on Karen and Vivienne’s faces changed in unison.

“Get down!”

As their words rang out, explosions erupted around them, igniting a towering inferno!

“Percival! Madam, Captain, are you alright?”

Thomas’s voice bellowed through the flames.

Percival was shielding Vivienne and Karen beneath him, his back already scorched by the fire. “Put out the fire first!”

Thomas quickly organized a firefighting effort. Fortunately, they were on a mountaintop, and the wind was not strong; their prompt response prevented a wildfire.

Leopold arrived with the third squad, first helping the injured to safety before searching the crowd for Vivienne.

“Vivienne! Are you okay? You have to be okay! Otherwise, other disciples will have my head! Vivienne!”

Vivienne was sitting nearby, irritated by Leopold’s wailing.

With a flick of her wrist, she chucked a stone at him. “Shut up already!”

Leopold felt the stone hit his leg, and he scrambled toward the voice, relieved to find Vivienne with just some superficial cuts.

“Vivienne, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you’re fine, or I’d never be able to face the master or our brothers!”
