Vivienne rose from her seat. Her aura had now taken a dark turn.
She changed into her clothes, her face stern. "Have the police been informed?"
"They've been alerted. The cops are at Ivan’s place, querying the situation." Lysander replied.
"I see." Vivienne hung up the call.
As she made her way out, she dialed Jaylan Lockwood’s number, speaking concisely, "I need all the surveillance footage from the stretch between Havenwood Gymnasium and Cloudcrest High School."
The school bus of Cloudcrest High had been hijacked, and Jaylan, as the head of the local detective unit, was on the case in no time.
After hearing this from Vivienne, he was initially taken aback but quickly understood. "Alright."
Vivienne was the young Mistress of the Nine Mystics Society.
When her students were in trouble, she couldn't possibly sit idle.
Jaylan was quick. He sent the surveillance data to Vivienne’s phone within two minutes.
In the living room, Dorian and Cordelia looked up to see Vivienne exiting. Her face was stormy, and she was making calls as she walked.
Vivienne dialed another number. “Matthew, gather all disciples. Tell them to meet here in Havenwood and seal off all entrances and exits.”
On the other end, Matthew, upon hearing Vivienne’s call, realized something was wrong.
He hurriedly responded, “Yes. I'll arrange it right away!”
After a pause, Vivienne gave him another order. “Pick me up at Tranquil Estates.”
“Affirmative.”
After hanging up, Vivienne dialed another number. “Draven, issue an Order of the Nine Mystics Society. Everyone must seal their city entrances, including all major mountain roads. Block all exits from Havenwood!”
Draven looked horrified. “Mistress, what happened?”
This was the second time the young Mistress had issued an Order of the Nine Mystics Society. The last time was against the Hawthorn family, but only a portion of the members were mobilized.
This time, she was mobilizing everyone and blocking all exits from Havenwood.
Draven could sense the gravity of the situation.
“My students have been kidnapped.”
She only said a few words, but Draven could sense Vivienne’s simmering rage.
He knew better than anyone how protective their young Mistress was of her own!
Even if she couldn't remember all their names, she would protect anyone under her.
Not to mention those students whom Vivienne personally cared for.
Who dared to mess with her students?
“I understand. I'll arrange it right away.”
As Vivienne stepped out of the house, Dorian and Cordelia were left aghast.
Did they just hear something about blocking all roads?
What was going on?
What was Vivienne up to?
Before they could react, the door had already shut.
At the entrance of Tranquil Estates, as soon as Vivienne stepped out, Matthew’s car drove up.
In fact, Matthew stayed close to Vivienne. He was ready to act at a moment's notice.
Vivienne climbed into the car and quickly switched on her phone, transforming it into a minicomputer.
If anyone else was there, they would be amazed. This was the latest minicomputer developed by Alliance Enterprises. It was not yet available on the market.
Vivienne quickly made a few moves on the computer, soon finding the footage of the hijacking.
The culprits, all masked, acted swiftly. After stopping the bus, they stabbed Ivan and threw him off without mercy.
Then they seized control of the students with their weapons.
This was the footage from the outside of the bus; the inside was blurred.
