Vivienne was no stranger to using her imagination. She rummaged through her bag and handed Aaron a stack of papers. "I need the final product in three days. Get it done."

Aaron accepted the papers, and to his surprise, they contained plans for a state-of-the-art camera system made from transparent crystal material. If installed as the eyes of a bionic robot, they would be indistinguishable from human eyes!

"I assure you, the task will be completed."

This was Aaron's first mission since joining the Nine Mystics Society, and he could not afford to take it lightly.

He had to nail it to impress Vivienne and to prove that he, not Percival, was her most capable assistant.

"Good." Vivienne nodded, watching Aaron's confident demeanor.

This was his chance to prove himself, and whether he succeeded or failed, she would finally be able to flush out the traitor.

The reason she had tasked Aaron was to test him, to ensure he was not naively treating the Society like some kind of adventure game.

As Vivienne prepared to leave, Aaron opened his mouth to speak when a deep, magnetic voice called out from ahead.

"Vivienne, I'm here."

Both Vivienne and Aaron looked up, their expressions changing. Vivienne was elated. Aaron, on the other hand, was clearly annoyed.

"Mr. Wolf! Did you bring the strawberry cheesecake?" Vivienne ran over like a schoolgirl, throwing herself into Percival's arms, her eyes lighting up at the thought of her favorite treat.

Percival chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Don't you want to see me instead of just eyeing the cheesecake?"
