The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)
Chapter 189

Felix's fingers hovered over the remote control. He was about to push the button when the expressions of Vivienne and Percival simultaneously darkened. With lightning speed, they lunged towards Felix.

Vivienne, being closer, managed to grab Felix's hand just as he was about to release the button, pressing his hand firmly.

Frustrated, Felix lashed out with a kick to Vivienne's midsection.

Meanwhile, Felix's henchmen all focused their attacks on Vivienne.

With both hands occupied holding the remote, Vivienne couldn't fight back. If she were to release her grip, even for a moment, they were all doomed.

"Vivienne!" Percival's face twisted with worry as he sprinted towards her.

At the same time, led by Jerry, the eight disciples from the Emerald Monastery arrived.

Upon seeing the situation, they all roared in unison. "Mystic Mistress!"

"Save the students!" Vivienne ordered sharply. "Don't worry about me!"

Percival skidded to a halt under Vivienne's icy stare. He tightened his grip on his own hand, turned to his men, and commanded, "Save the students!"

With that, he moved to the nearest student, expertly cutting wires and defusing the bomb.

Jerry and the others rushed to Vivienne's side, driving back the henchmen attacking her.

One by one, the students were rescued. Percival's team tried to lead them away, but they refused to leave.

"Ms. Vivienne! We'll help you!"

Everyone joined Jerry and his group, attacking Felix's men.

Even with their drug-induced strength, Felix's men were not invincible. Despite the onslaught, they remained standing.

For now, Vivienne had no time to worry about them. She could only keep pressing Felix's hand, her concentration at its peak.

With Percival's help, all the students were rescued.

Now that every student was safe, Felix sneered. "You think you've won? Hahaha!"

A sense of foreboding filled Vivienne as Felix pulled another remote from his pocket. Her face went pale as she yelled, "Get out! There's another bomb!"

She had no hands free to stop Felix now.

But in this critical moment, a figure darted forward.

Percival gripped Felix's wrist with one hand as his other hand pressed on the remote control. His deep, icy eyes bore into Felix, and his voice was as cold as winter frost. "You're going to pay!" Felix, pinned on both sides by Vivienne and Percival, was immobilized.

Even after realizing that his defeat was inevitable, he still laughed wildly. "Haha! I may have been careless this time, but you'll never replace the second bomb. Keep me here... If you dare!" Vivienne ignored him and turned to the students of Class Eighteen. "Get out of here!"

"We're not leaving!" Logan stepped forward, his face serious. "Ms. Vivienne, you gave us hope and made us believe that there are people who care for us in this world. We won't leave you to face the darkness alone."

"Yeah, we're not leaving! If we die, we die together!" Even the unconscious Oberon woke up, joining the students in fighting Felix's men.

But they were only students; their combat skills were no match for Felix's men.

So, in order not to drag Jerry and the others down, the students of Class Eighteen had retreated to one side.

Now, when Vivienne wanted them to leave, they refused.

Vivienne was deeply moved by Class Eighteen. Even in the face of death, they wouldn't abandon her.

The rest of Class Eighteen echoed in unison. "We're not leaving!"

Vivienne was exasperated with these stubborn kids.

She looked at Jerry and the others, who were still fighting Felix's men.

She knew their strength. They could easily handle ten men each, but now the eight of them were struggling against Felix's men.

The drugs Felix gave them were the same ones her mother had taken years ago.

Her mother had told her that all the drugs were destroyed except for the ones she had. How did Felix get them?

Vivienne turned her gaze back to the situation at hand. After seeing Leopold dazed, she ordered, "Find cages. Lock these men up and arrange for someone to take the students back. Jerry, you and the others follow Mr. Ellington's men and replace the bomb."

Even though she and Percival could restrain Felix and prevent him from triggering the remote, they couldn't continue like this forever.

Leopold, pulled back to reality by Vivienne's voice, was completely baffled.

How did his other eight disciples end up here?

And why was Jerry calling Vivienne 'Mystic Mistress'?

What was going on?

Lost in his thoughts, Jerry walked over and slapped him across the forehead. "What are you dazed for? Didn't you hear what the Mystic Mistress said?"

"Ah? Oh, oh!" Leopold snapped back to reality. Ignoring his confusion about why Jerry was calling Vivienne 'Mystic Mistress.' He quickly dialed the Havenwood Divisional Administration.

They had been live streaming for so long, and yet the Havenwood Divisional Administration hadn't arrived. The only explanation was that they hadn't been able to trace the location of the live stream.

But the situation was urgent now. The warehouse was huge, and they didn't have enough people to thoroughly search for the bomb.

...

Soon, led by Jaylan, the personnel from the Havenwood Divisional Administration arrived, surrounding the warehouse.

They had also watched the live stream. When they received Leopold's call, they arrived as quickly as possible, even bringing over forty cages.

Joining them were Dorian and Cordelia.

Upon receiving the address, they hurried over, but Tranquil Estates was a considerable distance away. By the time they arrived, they ran into Jaylan and his crew.

Cecilia was supposed to come along too, but when she was given two addresses, she guessed that the other might be where Isolde was kept. Hence, she decided to check it out.

When the police arrived, Jerry and his gang stopped their attack and worked with the officers to corner the men. They gripped the bars of the cage. Their faces twisted with anger as they shook it violently. No one had the time to pay them any attention though.

The police forcibly removed the students, leaving only Vivienne's group and Percival in the warehouse.

Vivienne and Percival faced each other, while Felix watched them with a scowl on his face. "Shadow Wolf, why are you interested in a loser like Percival? With your skills, you should rejoin our organization." Percival glanced at Vivienne. He was as surprised as everyone else to replace out she was Shadow Wolf.

For years, he'd only had one rival: Shadow Wolf.

Their fights had always been evenly matched, with their victories split straight down the middle.

Who would've thought that Shadow Wolf was none other than his own Vivienne?

Suddenly, Felix leaned in close to Vivienne with a wicked grin on his face. "I know you guys are more than capable of replaceing the bomb, but Vivienne, you can't escape your past. Your mother destroyed the drug our organization spent years developing. She paid for her mistakes, and now it's your turn. No one who steals from us gets to live a peaceful life."

Vivienne lifted her icy gaze to meet his as a chilling aura surrounded her.

Felix didn't seem to care. "You've seen what the drug can do. We've already developed a new reagent. The one you have is irrelevant. Vivienne, you better prepare yourself for my organization's judgment." Vivienne's red lips curled into a wicked smile. "Don't worry, before I die, I'll make sure you know what it's like to wish you were dead."

Felix smirked. He was truly unbothered. "I've accepted whatever fate I may face."

"Is that so?" Vivienne's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light. "This ending won't be what you wanted."

Felix glanced at her but said nothing more.
