"Ah!"
Screams echoed through the floor, as the girls in the room frantically shook the railings in front of them.
"Let us out! What on earth are you doing? Why was there an explosion?"
The mayor barely managed to regain his footing on the unsteady floor, as Vivienne, not far from him, raised an eyebrow in his direction.
"Was this your doing?!" the mayor pointed at Vivienne, furious, his eyes bulging with anger.
Vivienne chuckled, "I told you before, you're no match for me."
The townspeople who had rushed over were either dead or injured from the bomb dropped outside, and the few who remained ran up in panic to the mayor, "Mayor, it's bad! Someone's bombing us outside!"
The mayor, annoyed, pushed one of them to the ground, "You think I'm deaf?!"
The entire town was in disarray after the bomb, everyone dropping what they were doing and running home.
Carly, watching from her room, pulled the curtains closed and leaned against the wall, murmuring, "Did you manage to do it?"
The mayor was still negotiating with Vivienne, "Even if you level this place, you won't escape. Why not cooperate with us?"
Hearing this, Vivienne paused, locking eyes with Percival, who saw a hint of something different in her gaze.
Alright, his Vivienne was up to something again.
Percival smiled indulgently, "Whatever Vivienne wants to do, I'll always support her."
The mayor was baffled by the couple's exchange, thinking, isn't this the worst time to be lovey-dovey?
Gregg: "Are we just pawns in your game?"
Vivienne ignored their stares and smiled at Percival, "Okay~"
Turning to the mayor, Vivienne's smile vanished, "What cooperation? Let's hear it."
Everyone was startled by Vivienne's sudden change of demeanor. Little did they know this fierce and powerful woman was a hopeless romantic?!
Percival: No, I'm the romantic one, not Vivienne.
The mayor, grimacing, took a moment to compose himself before responding, "With your capabilities, why not join us? We can offer you something that will definitely satisfy you."
Vivienne scoffed, unimpressed, "If I wanted to take you all down in one fell swoop, I would have done it already. Why the need for all this talk?" She raised her bow, aiming it at the mayor's forehead, "I could end you right now. Still want to talk?"
The mayor broke out in cold sweat, not expecting Vivienne to be so resolute.
Vivienne pulled out a bunch of keys from her pocket, and the mayor instinctively searched his own pockets, realizing what he needed was indeed in Vivienne's hand.
