Chapter 1116

Percival's gaze snapped to the source of the noise, his pupils dilating in shock at the sight before him.

"Who said you could lose focus during our duel?!" Gregg roared, rage fueling his voice as he launched another punch towards Percival. At this moment, Percival's anger had reached its boiling point. With a swift move, he charged at Gregg.

Gregg only felt a gust of wind brush past his face before he found himself, along with his weapon, crashing through two trees.

Crashing to the ground, it wasn't long before Gregg spat out blood, the effects of his potions completely worn off as he passed out. Though Percival had dealt with Gregg, more challengers like him kept appearing, preventing him from reaching Vivienne's side in time. Vivienne's eyes, cold and devoid of warmth, fixed on Mayor Thompson. "How did you manage to take them away?"

Mayor Thompson couldn't help but burst into laughter at her question. "You think you're all that, but you forgot our master is even more cautious than you? These kids were brought here by him personally. You'd be gloating if not for that fact, wouldn't you? Unfortunately for you, the kids are in my hands now!"

Connor had already prepared a backup plan, ready to whisk the children away at the first sign of danger to ensure their safety.

Hearing Connor's words still echoing, Mayor Thompson smirked at Vivienne, "I tried to reason with you, but you wouldn't listen. So, there's no point in further discussion. I'm about to use your precious children to activate the ritual!"

Turning on his heel with a child in tow, Mayor Thompson started to walk away. Vivienne attempted to follow, but was suddenly blocked by a crowd of people.

They quickly obscured Mayor Thompson from view, leaving Vivienne glaring at these obstructive pests. "You're courting death!"

The girls in the room witnessed Vivienne's ruthless efficiency, her blade swinging without hesitation, each strike lethal.
