The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 390

Vivienne entered the hospital ward, leaving Percival waiting outside, seated opposite Jasper and Yuri.

Jasper and Yuri exchanged brief pleasantries with Percival before disengaging, preferring to keep to themselves.

Percival appeared engrossed in his phone, but with a few discreet taps, he had pulled up thorough profiles on the two men sitting across from him.

Jasper Perez, head of the prestigious Perez family and chairman of Perez Enterprises.

Yuri Perez, the Perez family's fourth son and the CFO of Perez Group.

The Perez family held a status in Sea City comparable to the Ellingtons.

With its century-long history and wealth rivaling that of nations, the family was a force to be reckoned with.

However, the Perez family were known for their discretion, rarely making public appearances and abstaining from social events.

These facts were available to the public, but Percival had accessed more sensitive information using Vanguard Agency's resources: the Perez family was an ancient warrior lineage. The details of such ancient warrior lineages, hidden in seclusion, were nearly impossible to trace without tapping into national databases.

Ancient warrior lineages typically remained out of the public eye, drawing income from their corporate ventures or offering highly sought-after security services at exorbitant prices. The Perez family, alongside the Martinez family of Rivenwood, were one of the few to step out into the world.

The Perez family had emerged publicly earlier than the Martinez family and conducted their affairs openly, so their warrior lineage identity was a well-kept secret.

Another piece of information piqued Percival's interest. Thirty-five years ago, Sasha, the ten-year-old daughter of the Perez family, had mysteriously vanished and was still missing. Sasha's photograph, though blurry, hinted at her beauty.
