Vivienne's eyes narrowed as she and Percival rushed to the attacked stronghold of the Miller family.

"Imogen's got some nerve," Percival said, his voice turning cold.

Launching a preemptive strike on the Miller family's stronghold, she aimed to distract Vivienne, buying herself time to escape.

Draven would often stay here when he was on missions.

It had always been secure.

But now, it had been struck with devastating damage!

Aaron was there, talking to them, trying to piece together how the blaze had started.
