In the car, there was a brief silence between Percival and Vivienne before Percival broke it, his grip tightening on Vivienne's hand. "We need to split up. I'm heading over to Vanguard Agency to confront Vance. He's up to his neck in this heist, and I'm sure he's involved. You should visit your grandpa. With this mess involving the ancient warrior lineage, he might know how to help."
Vivienne suddenly remembered that Leopold's imprisonment was due to pressure from members of the ancient warrior lineage, which left the Vanguard Agency unable to intervene.
The Perez family might just have a solution.
With that thought, Vivienne's eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
She had spent ten years training at the Emerald Monastery, taking time each year to build her circle of influence.
She founded the Nine Mystics Society, strengthening the Monastery's influence, believing she had become strong enough to protect those she cared about. Yet, facing the ancient warrior lineage, her power seemed insignificant.
The Nine Mystics Society was like an ant in front of the ancient warrior lineage, easily crushed.
And her control over GTO, which she thought was firm, had slipped through her fingers.
It was time to act.
"Okay, I'm on it," Vivienne said, squeezing Percival's hand back. "Make it quick. We can't let anything happen to Leopold."
"Right. Our Husky? No one's going to pluck him without a fight."
They parted ways then and there, Percival driving straight to Vanguard Agency.
Thomas, Anna, and Soren were all waiting in the deputy director's office, trying to get a hold of Leopold.
When they saw Percival return, they all approached him eagerly. "Deputy!"
"Where's Vance?" Percival's voice was grim.
