The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 701

Percival stared at Arthur with an intensity that seemed to cut right through him as if trying to read his soul.

But Arthur was an enigma, a book whose pages refused to be turned.

Despite Percival’s knack for sizing people up, Arthur, the revered War God of Veridia, remained an untold story to him.

With just a side glance, Arthur seemed to catch onto Percival’s musings and let out a derisive chuckle. “You’re wondering why I know about the elixir of life? Why I brought it up in front of you? Whether I’m a traitor?”

Percival was speechless, thinking, “Can you read minds or what?”

Wait a second.

Why did his tone sound so familiar?

Arthur stood up, his gaze icy as he gave Percival a once-over. “Kid, you’ve got a lot to learn. Some things aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface!”

With that, Arthur turned on his heel and strode away.

Pausing at the doorway, he seemed to remember something and looked back at Percival. “The Vanguard Agency? It’s history as of today!”

Without another word, Arthur left.

Percival watched Arthur’s retreating figure, his eyes shadowed with thought.

After a moment, he looked up at the Vanguard Agency, then walked away.

Meanwhile, Vivienne had made her way to the Frostfire Intelligence Agency, insisting that Matthew focus on finding her father.

After Matthew briefed her on recent missions, Vivienne left. With Percival tied up in work, she suddenly realized she had nowhere in particular to go.
