The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Vance and Micah had turned the place upside down but found no trace of anyone.

Noah had dropped dead as if life had abruptly come to an end.

“Karen, have you ever seen anything like this?” Vance inquired.

Karen shook her head. “It’s not poison, not a concealed weapon, not a heart attack… I’ve never heard of such a death!”

“What in the world is going on?” Micah was equally baffled.

Just then, Karen received a call from Vivienne.

“Mom, F-Poison escaped!”

An hour earlier, Vivienne had led a team from the Nine Mystics Society to F-Poison’s hideout, sprinkling the area with a potent toxin to make sure not even a fly could escape.

But when they surrounded F-Poison’s lair, they found it empty.

Aside from a collection of masks and a variety of clothing and bags, there was no clue about F-Poison’s whereabouts.

Unlike before, F-Poison had left in such a hurry that she had not even had time to cover her tracks properly.

It was like when Vivienne had tracked down a new bomb prototype, and GTO had hurriedly left a model behind.

Vivienne took a deep breath. “Someone tipped her off!”

At the border town between Sea City and Rivenwood, F-Poison, dressed in a pure white dress and wearing Gillian’s face with delicate makeup, strolled along a flowery path.

A man in a sleek suit followed her, his expression solemn.

“Thanks for saving me this time,” F-Poison said, turning around with a bright smile, like a girl in love, innocent and endearing.

The man remained unmoved, his eyes even flashing with disdain.

“You were foolish!”
