The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 383

Gunshots echoed through the lab, but the Vanguard Agency was ready for anything. The GTO guards left behind were caught off-guard, especially since their boss had hightailed it out of there. It was a spectacular defeat, like watching petals swept away by a swift stream.

Vivienne continued to monitor the screens, her fingers dancing over the keyboard with urgency, "The left passage is clear. Follow it."

She was analyzing the layout of the building, switching to real-time mode, and connecting to infrared imaging to track Scott's possible escape routes.

Although Percival had come prepared, they were short on hands, what with all the kids around.

Scott knew the place like the back of his hand; if he had planned an escape route in advance, he would be a tough one to catch.

Suddenly, Vivienne spotted a blinking light on the screen. "Mr. Wolf, watch out, there's a bomb!"

A loud explosion rocked the area 800 meters from the lab entrance.

The thermal imager fizzled out, and the screen became a flurry of scrambling red dots.

Vivienne cursed under her breath, slammed her laptop shut, and sprinted toward the blast site.

"Mr. Wolf! You oka..."

"Vivienne." Percival emerged from the ashes, one hand gripping Thomas, the other holding Leopold. "I'm fine. Check on these two."

Leopold let out a groan. "Vivienne, my hand's done for."

Thomas gestured to his own left hand. "Same here."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Vivienne quickly picked up some scattered wooden planks and expertly fashioned splints for their broken hands.

"This will do for now. We'll get it fixed back at the base. It's not a big deal."

Vivienne's gaze met Percival's.

He was staring into the rubble, his expression grave, eyes sharp as blades.
