The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 1032

Vivienne nodded in agreement.

It seemed Mr. Watson had sniffed something out to have unearthed this blueprint.

She glanced down at the spot marked with a red dot, her finger landing on the most obvious location, and asked Matthew, "What's this place?"

Matthew recognized it instantly, looking up to reply, "Vivienne, this is precisely where we found those antique jewelries last time. We've already searched it once; there wasn't anything else suspicious."

But Vivienne kept searching. Mr. Watson's marks on the blueprint were usually in the deepest part of the basement, and in the garden's peculiar features like unusual rock formations and gazebos.

However, one spot seemed off to her.

She pointed it out to Matthew, who couldn't immediately place it.

Percival squinted, slowly stating, "Looking at the overall layout, this should be part of the main building. The most secluded part should be the study."

They stopped in front of a classic burgundy door, the lock posing no challenge to them.

The room's setup was untouched. With the original blueprints, finding the study's secret chamber wasn't difficult.

The real challenge was unlocking it.

It required a specific fingerprint to open.

This lock was highly secure, making Matthew hesitant to proceed, fearing he might trigger an explosive device.

Vivienne stepped forward to examine it closely, just about to start when a hidden weapon shattered the window, aiming straight for her temple with lethal intent.

Glass littered the floor, yet Vivienne remained still.

As Percival moved to intercept, Vivienne had already harnessed her unique ability, keeping the danger at bay.

Looking up, she saw a figure in black vanish from the rooftop.

Vivienne's eyes turned cold.

In that moment, she hadn't sensed the presence of anyone there.

Leopold's expression darkened as he watched the figure disappear, leaping from the balcony, "Vivienne, Percival, stay here. I'll go after them!"

Anna and Matthew positioned themselves in front of Vivienne, shocked by the sudden attack.

Neither had noticed the assailant.

Percival's eyes turned icy, "Assassins."

Vivienne neither agreed nor disagreed, "And not just one."

As she spoke, more hidden weapons flew from different directions, the window now enveloped in darkness.

Several assassins appeared, targeting both Percival and Vivienne.

Their swift movements caught Anna and Matthew off guard, barely giving them time to react before a massive wave of energy enveloped them.

The projectiles halted mid-air, their tips glowing a ghostly blue.

Having accompanied Vivienne for years, Matthew recognized the deadly poison on the weapons.

These people were after their lives.

Percival utilized over 70% of his ability, the surrounding area vibrating with the release of energy.

Assassins, unlike regular killers, were controlled by drugs, relentlessly pursuing their target even at death's door.

The commotion drew the attention of the Wright family's guardians, rushing to the scene.

Despite the assassins' combined powers, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of abilities, quickly succumbing to internal injuries.

Members of the Nine Mystics Society arrived too late to capture these unexpected attackers, only to see them end their own lives, leaving no trace behind.

Vivienne watched coldly.
