Dracon finally turned his attention to Gillian.

Three days prior, Gillian had come on behalf of Vanguard Agency to check on Yorick and had met Dracon for the first time.

As they chatted casually, they touched upon Percival and the Perez family's current situation. It was only then that Dracon realized that Gillian had a bone to pick with Vivienne. Upon further conversation, it became clear that their mutual grievances ran as deep as any of his own.

Their shared desire to deal with Vivienne made them natural allies.

Dracon took a deep breath, "Alright, spill it. How do you want me to work with you? Just as long as it doesn't harm the Linklater family's interests."

Dracon was not a fool; while the other kids in the family did not need to lean on the Linklater family for anything, he had to stand firm with them. Without the family's support, he would be lost.

If avenging Diana meant harming the Linklater family, it was not worth it.

Gillian curved her lips into a sly smile. "I want to get into the Rivenwood headquarters of the Vanguard Agency."

"You're leaving the comfort of Sea City for Rivenwood? That place is crawling with Percival's cronies!" Dracon exclaimed in surprise.

Gillian's smile deepened, a hint of ferocity flashing across her face, "Of course I know. It's all Percival's people there, but how else am I supposed to get close to him?"

Dracon looked Gillian up and down. She was attractive enough, with a nice figure to boot.

But compared to Vivienne, she did not hold a candle. Given the choice between the two, he reckoned no man would pick Gillian over Vivienne. Of course, he would not dare say that to Gillian's face. "Fine, I'll get you into the Rivenwood General Administration."

In the back garden.

Yorick led Karen and Vivienne to an herb garden.

Karen had been here before, but it was a first for Vivienne.
