The Million-Dollar Heart

Declan's eyes flickered with unease.

After a moment, he finally spoke, "She has a team of operatives with extraordinary abilities." Vivienne frowned, "What do you mean?"

Declan seemed genuinely wary of the subject, his demeanor tense as he spoke.

"These people are usually kept sedated underground, only brought out when she needs them."

"But they were all nurtured by Abigail with special abilities, and with the aid of drugs, their physical capabilities can skyrocket by seventy percent at her command, readying them for combat almost instantly-one of them could take on a hundred." Vivienne's gaze turned icy. This team sounded eerily similar to the operatives trained by the Global Tactical Organization (GTO), except the GTO used serums to push human endurance to its limits.

She hadn't expected Abigail to have her own squad.

Raised with special abilities, they could be even tougher to handle than the drug-enhanced agents of the GTO!

Vivienne narrowed her eyes and asked, "How many are there?"

Declan shook his head, indicating he didn't know, "No one knows for sure."

"This is Abigail's trump card for world domination. She won't reveal them lightly, nor bring them out unless absolutely necessary."

A chill settled in Vivienne's eyes.

It seemed Abigail planned to unleash these operatives in a grand, chaotic bid for power after securing immortality.

The conversation shifted as they left the prison. Vivienne, with her team in tow, headed to the hospital.

On the third floor, Vivienne knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Colin, seated by the window, mistook the entrance for a nurse's routine check and responded without looking up from his book.
