The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 789

Vivienne and Percival's paperwork went through without a hitch. After a quick lunch, they wrapped up all the formalities within half an hour and collected the various IDs and permits issued by the authorities. The newlyweds' first stop was to drive to the HK Penitentiary.

The security was so tight, a fly couldn't buzz through the air without being zapped by one of the hidden laser guns in the corners.
