The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

Chapter 188

On the freeway to Havenwood, a luxury sedan was speeding along.

Inside, Percival's face was grim. A tense aura was radiating from him.

His fingers were flying over his laptop keyboard.

Leopold, sitting in the front row, was watching Felix's live stream on his phone.

He urged the driver anxiously. "Thomas, hurry up! We only have three minutes left."

They were originally heading to Rivenwood when they were ambushed on the road.

Their attackers didn't confront them directly. They just delayed them.

Percival, sensing that something was wrong, immediately ordered a helicopter to Havenwood.

On the helicopter, they turned off their phones, so they were clueless about what was happening in

Havenwood.

Luckily, they were close to Havenwood and reached there within half an hour.

As soon as they landed, Cecilia called, telling Percival that Isolde had been kidnapped.

At the same time, their subordinates reported that the students of Class Eighteen had been kidnapped

too. The kidnappers were live-streaming and demanding Vivienne to make a choice.

By the time they rushed to Havenwood, Vivienne had already appeared on the live stream.

They were beside themselves with worry.

"We're almost there! Just a few hundred meters!" Thomas said, accelerating the car.

Screech.

The car came to a sudden stop, followed by two more vehicles fully equipped with armed men.

Once they got out of the car, they stood in front of Percival, waiting for his command.

Percival closed his laptop and coldly gave out orders. "Thomas, you take some men and rescue Isolde.

Leopold and the rest will come with me to save the students."

Percival looked around, assessing the terrain. They outnumbered their opponents, but in order not to

alert them, they parked the cars three hundred meters away from the factory.

Percival raised his hand, signaling for an attack. "Move out!"

Two dozen men, like arrows released from their bows, sprung into action.

...

Meanwhile, Matthew pulled out a pair of scissors and handed them to Vivienne.

He was a bit unusual. He always carried sharp and dangerous tools like hammers and scissors.

Vivienne took only a glance at the bomb's wiring and quickly cut one of the wires.

Time stopped.

The viewers in the live stream and the students of Class Eighteen were stunned.

Even Felix was flabbergasted.

How did she disarm the bomb so quickly?

Before he could react, Vivienne immediately untied the bomb from the student and pushed him towards

Matthew. "Get him out of here!"

Without wasting time, Matthew quickly led the student out of the factory.

Vivienne, without any hesitation, began disarming the second student's bomb.

But Felix had finally snapped back to reality and smirked. "If I let you disarm all the bombs, wouldn't

that mean I've lost?"

With that, he lunged at Vivienne.

Vivienne was entirely focused on the bomb and didn't dodge when she saw Felix attacking her.

Time was of the essence. With less than 3 minutes left, she had to disarm all the students' bombs as

soon as possible.

So when Felix kicked her, she took it head-on.

Matthew had just settled the student when he walked in and saw this. His face turned pale, and he

quickly attacked Felix.

With Matthew's help, Vivienne had time to continue disarming the bombs.

But Felix's target wasn't Matthew. He picked up his gun and fired at Matthew.

No matter how skilled Matthew was, he couldn't dodge a bullet.

The bullet went through him, and he fell to the ground, looking at Vivienne with worry. "Get out of here!

If you don't, you'll die too!"

Vivienne glanced at Matthew, then focused on the task at hand.

Felix walked towards Vivienne with his gun, but she had no time to deal with him.

Her hands moved rapidly, and within a few dozen seconds, she had disarmed two more bombs.

She caught Felix approaching her from the corner of her eye and said to the students in a low voice,

"Get out. Now."

The students started to run, but halfway through, they stopped and looked at Vivienne with tears. "Ms.

Vivienne, you..."

"Go!" Vivienne shouted.

The students were heartbroken, but they knew that the best way not to hinder Ms. Vivienne was to get

away as fast as they could.

They ran with all their might.

Felix glanced at them as a cold smile appeared on his face. "Trying to escape? The one who got away

was an accident. Now, no one is leaving."

With that, he aimed his gun at the two students. But at that moment, Vivienne kicked him.

She was so fast that Felix didn't have time to react.

He was about to pick up his gun again when Vivienne kicked it away.

Furious, Felix attacked Vivienne with his bare hands.

While fighting off Felix, Vivienne moved back towards the students, disarming the bombs with her other

hand.

Felix’s rage burned as he watched Vivienne disarm the bombs under such circumstances.

His attacks became fiercer.

"Ms. Vivienne, disarm mine first. I'll help you!" Anna, who was a meter away from her, suddenly

shouted.

Vivienne's eyes narrowed, and she quickly moved towards Anna.

Vivienne took the opportunity to cut the wire on Anna's bomb.

Because she was focused on the bomb, Felix managed to kick her in the back. He put all his strength

into the kick, and Vivienne knelt on one knee as blood trickled from her mouth.

"Ms. Vivienne!" Logan and Charlotte were frantic.

Charlotte was crying. "Vivienne, forget about us. Just run!"

Vivienne swallowed the blood in her mouth. Her face was pale but determined. "I am your teacher, and

I will protect you. Today, unless I die, I will get you out of here!"

With a solemn expression, Vivienne glanced at the bomb's timer. Her brows furrowed in worry. There

was only a minute and a half left, and many of the students' bombs hadn’t been disarmed yet.

Vivienne composed herself and turned to Anna. "Are you confident you can handle this?"

"As long as you can distract him for a minute, I can get it done." Anna declared while starting to disarm

the bomb.

Without wasting any more time, Vivienne lunged at Felix before he could react.

Uninhibited, her movements were fierce and ruthless.

Felix struggled to keep up.

After a brief skirmish, Felix was knocked to the ground.

Vivienne didn't have the luxury to deal with him. She was about to join Anna in disarming the bomb

when Felix suddenly pulled out a syringe and injected each of the fallen people on the ground.

Immediately, they all seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline, breaking free from Vivienne's pins

and attacking her like wild beasts.

"Miss Vivienne!" Anna called out in worry.

Vivienne shot a glance at her. "Focus on your task!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

With that, she threw herself back into the fray.

Her movements were swift, accurate, and ruthless. The silver pins in her hand targeted their vital points

with deadly precision. Under normal circumstances, none of them would have stood a chance.

However, whatever Felix had injected them with seemed to render Vivienne's attacks useless.

Her expression was grave. Vivienne didn't have time to figure out why. She could only do her best to

fend them off.

The first bombs Anna managed to disarm belonged to Logan and Charlotte. She instructed them,

"Throw all those weapons out."

Upon being freed, Logan and Charlotte knew what to do. Logan would dispose of the weapons, while

Charlotte would assist Vivienne.

"Vivienne, I'm here to help!" Meanwhile, the factory door was pushed open as Percival and his crew

barged in.

Felix's face changed. He scowled at Vivienne as he stood up. "It seems I've lost this round. Well then,

let's all go to hell together!"
