Percival said nothing and just glanced at his wristwatch.

Soon after, the hooting of a car horn echoed from outside.

Thomas immediately stepped out.

Shortly, he returned, accompanied by an attractive young man who looked to be in his late twenties.

Upon seeing Quincy, the man's eyes instantly moistened. "Quincy!"

"Brother!" Quincy looked stupefied at the man before her. "How could it be? Weren't you..."

She witnessed the GTO gang murder her brother.

No!

It was a lie!

It must have been a lie!

"I didn't die!" Caspian's eyes were glassy with tears. "Ever since you were kidnapped, we searched for you for years with no luck. I swore to join the national forces. After graduation, I joined Captain Percival's team and infiltrated GTO under a false identity. They discovered my cover, but the captain had a contingency plan. They shot me and left me for dead in a mass grave." Caspian glanced at Percival. "Captain Percival sent someone to rescue me."

After seeing the disbelief on Barnaby's face, Caspian stepped forward. "Quincy, I truly am your brother. Nobody is lying."

Thomas moved to untie Barnaby's ropes.

Barnaby reached up to touch Caspian's face as tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother, it really is you! You're not dead!"

She learned of Caspian's undercover mission to infiltrate GTO when they recognized each other. But to fulfill his mission, he had to keep his distance from her. After a brief reunion, they lost contact.

The last time she saw him, she heard that GTO had caught an undercover agent. The higher-ups sent someone to eliminate Caspian. Upon hearing this, she rushed to save him. When she arrived, she couldn' act in time, but Caspian gave her a look, signaling her to stay calm.

She had many internal battles, but in the end, she restrained herself from saving him.

She knew that if she had acted, both she and her brother would be killed.

She wanted to live to finish the business her brother couldn't, and avenge her brother.

"Yes, I'm not dead!" Caspian embraced her as his tears and laughter mingled. "You stubborn girl, why did you change your code name? If you hadn't, the captain would have known that you were my sister." When he infiltrated GTO and met Barnaby, she told him her code name was Black Fox.

So the captain had always thought that his sister's code name was Black Fox.

It was during a mission when he saw Barnaby that he was startled. He didn't react at the moment but reported the incident to the captain after returning to the team.

"I was afraid that the Black Fox code name would leave traces for GTO to discover, so I changed it." Barnaby hadn't expected that a code name would almost prevent her from ever seeing her brother again. "Enough! You can catch up later." Percival suddenly interrupted them. "Barnaby, are you ready to talk to us now?"

After regaining her composure, Barnaby turned to face Percival. "I know what you're going to ask, but I don't know much. Every command GTO issues is executed through tiny tech devices. As for the higher- ups, I only know one, Mr. B."

"Mr. B?" Percival's brows furrowed slightly. "Who is he?"

"I don't know. I've been trying to win his trust and get close to him, but even now, I have no idea what Mr. B looks like. I only know he's in Rivenwood. Rowan and Ismene should have had contact with him. Oh, and Mr. B is the second-in-command of GTO. As for who the boss is, that's still a mystery."

Percival and Vivienne simultaneously furrowed their brows.

The second-in-command?

GTO seemed to be more complex than they thought.

A moment later, Percival spoke up. "I want you to make contact with Mr. B."

"It's no use. Mr. B has an extensive information network. The moment a mission fails on my end, he will know immediately. I can't go back to GTO."

"The news was blocked immediately. My men are disguised as GTO members and are guarding the place. You're safe for now. I'll give you a potion."

Barnaby was taken aback. "You're entrusting me with something this important?"

"Yes. First, win Mr. B's trust." Percival said.

"What's in it for me if I help you?" Barnaby asked after a moment of silence.

"What do you want?"

"I want Vivienne to treat someone for me."

Vivienne raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"A child. She's been injected with something and is on the brink of death. GTO abandoned her, but I managed to rescue her. She's in a safe place now." Barnaby explained.

She knew Vivienne was an excellent doctor. At the moment, saving the child seemed to rely solely on Vivienne.

"Deal!" Vivienne agreed readily.

Upon leaving the factory, Percival and Vivienne climbed into the car. He turned to her and asked, "What do you think? Did you replace anything?"

"She wasn't lying. The psychological test just now showed no fluctuations except when she recognized Caspian. She really doesn't know anything about the virus experiment." Vivienne responded slowly. Percival furrowed his brows. "It seems we can't fully trust the person who sent you the message. It may be Mr. B trying to mislead us."

"Yes." Vivienne nodded. "Regardless, we need to check if there have been any instances of missing infants. The virus experiment is even more terrifying than the potion experiment."

Her mother's potion only amplified a person's strength indefinitely.

But a virus could be spread on a large scale.

GTO's objective was still unclear.

But most importantly, if there were missing infants, they had to save those children.

"Yes, I'll handle this." After a pause, Percival continued, "Vivienne, I plan to hand over the potion to the government."

"Alright." The potion was of no use in her hands.

Her lab was developing an antidote for the potion, and she believed results would be out soon.

At that moment, Vivienne's phone rang.

It was Matthew.

She picked up the call, responded to whatever was said on the other end, and finally told Matthew, "Alright, bring them over."

"Drive me back to the Brooks Mansion." She said after hanging up.

Percival cocked his head. "Who are we bringing over?"

Vivienne gave him a coy smile. "You'll see when we get there."

Percival didn't ask further and started the car.

Half an hour later, they stopped about a mile away from the Brooks Mansion.

Soon, another car pulled up.

Matthew got out, and with him were Dorian and Cordelia.

Percival raised an eyebrow. "Rowan, Ismene?"

The Dorian and Cordelia in front of him were actually Rowan and Ismene in disguise.

Vivienne smirked. "It's only polite to return a favor."

Rowan and Ismene approached her. "Vivienne."

"Hmm." Vivienne responded nonchalantly. "Once inside, just act like before."

"Don't worry, Vivienne. We'll do as you say." Rowan assured her. "But the antidote..."

"You'll get your antidote once the job is done." Vivienne replied indifferently. "Understood."
