The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 607

The helicopter descended slowly, and Percival leaped from the aircraft, for once not immediately rushing to Vivienne's side but instead locking eyes with his mentor.

In an instant, the area was swarmed by the special squad agents of the Vanguard Agency.

F-Poison, bound by a robot, was being escorted to the helicopter.

She struggled briefly, her face devoid of emotion. "The family reunion over there. Have you really decided this is the end?"

Percival instinctively shielded Vivienne and Karen behind him, eyes wary as he watched F-Poison.

F-Poison let out a mocking laugh, and the expressions on Karen and Vivienne's faces changed in unison.

"Get down!"

As their words rang out, explosions erupted around them, igniting a towering inferno!

"Percival! Madam, Captain, are you alright?"

Thomas's voice bellowed through the flames.

Percival was shielding Vivienne and Karen beneath him, his back already scorched by the fire. "Put out the fire first!"

Thomas quickly organized a firefighting effort. Fortunately, they were on a mountaintop, and the wind was not strong; their prompt response prevented a wildfire.

Leopold arrived with the third squad, first helping the injured to safety before searching the crowd for Vivienne.

"Vivienne! Are you okay? You have to be okay! Otherwise, other disciples will have my head! Vivienne!"

Vivienne was sitting nearby, irritated by Leopold's wailing.

With a flick of her wrist, she chucked a stone at him. "Shut up already!"

Leopold felt the stone hit his leg, and he scrambled toward the voice, relieved to find Vivienne with just some superficial cuts.

"Vivienne, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you're fine, or I'd never be able to face the master or our brothers!"

Leopold lunged for a hug, but Percival kicked him aside.

Percival thought, “Dream on about hugging my Vivienne!”

Vivienne muttered, “Thankfully, you kicked him away in time, or I would've had to make him sing soprano with a needle!”

Leopold blinked, gazing at the woman before him, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Karen watched Leopold, pinched his cheek, and scolded, "After all these years, you haven't changed a bit. You're just asking to be hit!"

Leopold's voice broke, and then he howled.

"Oh, Captain! My dear, respected, and beautiful Captain! You're alive! This is amazing!

Captain, you have no idea how this heartbreaker, Percival, has been bullying me over the years! Waah, it's so good to have you back. I've finally got backup!"

Thomas turned away, unable to watch Leopold's disgraceful display.

Soren, who had arrived much later than the others and did not know Karen, clenched his fists in secondhand embarrassment.

Anna was the first who could not stand it anymore and tossed Leopold out by the collar.

Then she stood before Karen, examining her closely.

Karen had seen Anna's photo with her mother, Daphne, both in Vanguard Agency uniforms, their hair in neat ponytails, the agency's flag waving behind them.

Karen looked up at Anna and playfully tapped her nose.
