The Million-Dollar Heart

Vivienne didn't bother with a reply; she simply lunged at "Delilah," foregoing her usual silver needles for a blast of her powers.

She had arranged for the Brooks family to be under protection, opting to only share the precarious situation with Leopold and Dorian. The directive was clear: if anything unusual happened, they were to whisk Cordelia and the others away to safety. That was precisely why she had signaled Mr. Wolf to head over. As long as Thaddeus was within their circle, he'd be safe.

However, she hadn't anticipated that Abigail would target Cordelia.

Dorian had always been particularly attentive to Cordelia. If she were in any danger, he would undoubtedly rush to her side.

Seeing Vivienne unleash her powers, "Delilah" couldn't help but smile smugly, her body effortlessly rising to dodge the incoming blast. "You're no match for me. Resorting to your powers is a death wish."

Vivienne's gaze was icy as she retorted, "And what if I add the Millennia Aegis into the mix?"

"Delilah" shot her a look of disbelief. "You've mastered the Millennia Aegis?"

As Vivienne attacked, the cold determination in her eyes was unmistakable. "You've been baiting me with that information, haven't you? Waiting for this moment?"

"Delilah" conjured a protective wave of light around her, yet the force of the energy made her stagger back.

Luckily, she had acquired a teleportation spell from the Wright family, allowing her to instantly move several feet away.

Steadying herself, "Delilah" looked at Vivienne thoughtfully, her smile widening. It seemed Vivienne's prowess only delighted her more.

"Excellent. It seems you've figured out how to wield it."
