The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 190

Leopold, with a team at his disposal and the full cooperation of Jaylan, swiftly located the bomb.

Felix had planted it underground.

Moreover, not too far from the bomb was a hidden tunnel. If things took a turn for the worse, Felix could escape through the tunnel while activating the bomb.

It was clear that this was not a last-minute plan. Felix must have had the tunnel dug out a long time ago.

When Felix saw the bomb being discovered, he was already calm.

From the moment this plan started, he anticipated all kinds of unexpected situations. His failure was also within his calculations.

What he did not account for was how powerful Vivienne was.

Not only was she Shadow Wolf and a fighting master of high caliber, but her bomb-dismantling skills were top-notch too.

Of course, another thing he did not foresee was that the supposed good-for-nothing heir of the Ellington family was far from being a waste.

Once the bomb was defused, Vivienne and Percival set Felix free.

Felix glanced at them as his eyes closed resignedly. "I lost. If you want to kill me, just do it."

His failure was his own doing. Even if Vivienne and Percival did not kill him, his organization would.

The task given to him by the organization was to get the reagent.

The reagent he had injected his subordinates with was indeed the latest innovation of the organization, but it was far from perfect.

It had many drawbacks. For example, those subordinates would soon die in a violent explosion.

But after Vivienne breached his firewall last time, a knot formed in his heart. He wanted to play this game to prove the strength of his hacking skills.

Alas, he lost.

Vivienne took out a tissue and wiped her hand that had touched Felix. A cold glimmer filled her eyes. “I told you that death is not the outcome you will get. I will make you wish you were dead.”

She was about to make her move with a silver needle in hand when Percival stepped in front of her. He caressed her head gently and said in a doting tone, “Let me handle this. Don't dirty your hands.”

Vivienne paused, and for the first time, someone was standing in her way, protecting something pure inside her.

She lifted her head and showed a smile as warm as a spring breeze. "Alright."

Percival lifted his hand, and soon a man came up to him. “Break his arms and legs, feed him the drug, and dump him in the potter's field.”

Vivienne looked a bit surprised.

After seeing her look, Percival smiled and asked, "Too lenient a punishment?"

“I initially thought of throwing him into the wolf den.” Vivienne half-closed her eyes, her smile bright yet chilling.

Percival’s cold lips curled up in a smile. His voice was melodious and pleasing to the ear. “Don’t spoil the wolves’ stomachs.”

Vivienne's smile grew even brighter. "Yes, your punishment is better than feeding him to the wolves."

Their conversation was casual, but Felix shuddered at their words. "Vivienne! Just shoot me!"

Even with his strong mental fortitude, after being mutilated and left in the potter's field, he would surely break down.

Vivienne lifted her eyes. She placed her hands in her pockets and slowly approached him, still showing a chilling smile. “Death is never the worst punishment.”

With that, Vivienne turned around to feed an unconscious and injured Matthew a pill, then gave out an order to Jerry and the others. "Take him to the hospital."

She had checked, and the bullet hadn't pierced Matthew's heart.

Her pill could save his life, and the hospital just needed to remove the bullet.

Percival didn't even spare Felix a glance. He turned around, took Vivienne's hand, and left with her under the moonlight with everyone watching.

The only sounds left were Felix's horrid screams.

Those who were watching Vivienne and Percival leave, like Jerry and the others, felt like they were watching a beautiful painting. The two figures in the lead were ethereal. They were almost inhuman.

After a while, Dawson was the first to snap back to reality. "Damn! The Mystic Mistress and her man are gone!"

The rest quickly snapped out of their daze and chased after them.

After a few steps, Dawson remembered Vivienne's order and had Leopold's men take Matthew to the hospital, then he too chased after them.

The men were unsure why they were being ordered around. But it was clear these people were with their captain, Leopold.

Matthew lying on the ground was seriously injured, so they lifted him and left.

Leopold also shook himself out of his daze, quickly gave a few orders, and hurried off.

But by the time they got to their cars, Vivienne and Percival had already driven off.

They quickly got into their cars and followed.

Meanwhile, Dorian and Cordelia were still at the original place, looking confused.
