The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 326

Sun Park was a park in name, but it had been abandoned for many years.

Tucked away in a remote location and overrun with weeds, it was rarely visited during the day, let alone

at the witching hour of eleven at night.

Vivienne drove the van into the park, parking it next to a statue and killing the engine.

The kidnappers had chosen this location for the drop–off it was a place so quiet that you could hear a

pin drop it didn’t look like a place anyone would be

Vivienne looked around and casually said. If you ve called me here, there’s no need to keep hiding ”

Hardly had her words faded when about a dozen masked men emerged from the bushes immediately

surrounding her

Each one held a sharp dagger with a blade that gleamed menacingly under the moonlight and the tips

were tinged with a sinister hun

Poison

Vivienne couldn’t help but smirk. It seemed like these guys were determined to end her life

“Where’s my brother? She had no time to play cat and mouse with them, so she cut straight to the

chase

The leader of the masked men was momentarily stunned, then began heartily laughing You’re still

worried about your brother? Do you really think you’re going to walk out

of hele alive‘

They had been given a kill order. No matter what, they had to kill Vivienne

Whoever could deliver Vivienne’s head would not only get the ransom but an additional 20 million

dollars

Which assassin wouldn’t be tempted by the prospect of receiving 30 million dollars for the head of a

seemingly defenseless young woman?

“It’s just you guys” Vivienne responded with a sarcastic smile

Had been so long since she had flexed her muscles that they thought she was incapable of defending

herself?

“Do you have any idea how much your head is worth? The leader drawled “Coming here today was a

mistake!”

Attack

With a sudden command he brandished his dagger and the others followed suit. They all lunged at

Vivienne with murderous intent

But they barely managed to take one step toward her. With a mere flick of her finger, they suddenly

collapsed to the ground, limp as marionettes

Whats happening? Why can’t I move?”

The masked men were shocked to find their limbs devoid of strength. Their mouths were the only part

of them still able to move

Forget about killing Vivienne they couldn’t even save themselves now

“What did you do to us? The leader growled

As Vivienne listened to their frustrated yells, she casually walked up to them and said, ‘I told you, you

can’t touch me

in the instant they had lunged for her she had sprinkled a powder she had developed herself that left

them incapacitated

“Where is my brother? She asked as she looked down at them coldly

“Your bluffing! We will never tell you where your brother is Stop dreaming!”

The masked men remained defiant, seemingly not believing Vivienne held any significant power

ry well Vivienne nodded and pulled out a silver needle from her pocket

Without even bending down she threw it towards the leader of the masked men

Three silver needles accurately hit his pressure points. The next moment, he broke into a wailing

cacophony of laughter and tears it hurts/ it’s so itchy) What’s

He felt as if a thousand ants were crawling on his back and a scorpion had stung him at the same time

His back was soon soaked in cold sweat it was as if he had just been pulled out of the water

“Help! | apologizer | wont do it again! Please let me go!

The leader was begging mindlessly. He was relentlessly pleading with Vivienne to spare hum

Vivienne nesily removed the needies from his body, and he finally calmed down while gasping for

breath on the ground.

Vienna looked the masked men sprawled on the ground and asked. “Who else wants to try?

Try their ass

The masked men internally swore that they would never let themselves go through that

Who would want to experience that kind of pain and torment?

They had underestimated the beautiful girl standing before them

Without drawing a weapon or shedding blood she had managed to inflict unbearable pain on their

steadfast

It wasnt physical torture but it looked more untwaratre

“We were wrong, Vienne Please stow us mercy we won’t øvel

The masked men looked at each

offend you again

“Answer two questions Vivienne pulled out an antidote from her pocket and waved it

“Ask away! We’ll tell you everything we know!”

“Where is my brother night now?

The masked men’s leader immediately answered Thaddeus ia in

ndoned factory i

“Good Vivienne nodded She was sailed with the answer Second question, who ordered

Thaddeus being kidnapped was just a smokescreen

On the surface, the kidnappers wanted a ransom, but they were actually after her life.

As soon as she appeared as agreed, the masked men would swarm her and end her life

This

The masked man hesitated, realizing that if he confessed, his fate would be dire

But if he didn’t. Vivienne wouldn’t spare him either

“Seems like the pain wasn’t enough? Noticing his hesitation, Vivienne brought out the silver needles

again. “How about we add two more and see how that feels?

“No, no, no!” The masked man was so scared that he almost bit his tongue Ta

He did not want to experience that inhuman torture again.

“It was Paul, the eldest grandson of the Ellington family

Paul?

He was the expected culprit, but Vivienne didn’t expect him to have the guts to plan this

Vivienne raised her hand again, scattering another type of powder

The next second, the masked men were surprised to find that they could move their hands and feet

again.

This miraculous powder was the first of its kind they had encountered How was it capable of instantly

paralyzing a person’s nerves and then restoring them in

Thank you for keeping your promise. Vivienne We are eternally grateful!”

After their brief encounter, the masked men realized Vivienne was not someone to be trifled with

She could easily take down a dozen men or more. Her hidden strength was akin to that of an iceberg

submerged in water

Competing with her was like throwing an egg at a rock.

“Where’s your vehicle?

The van was too cumbersome She needed something lighter for her operations.

The masked figure quickly brought out one of the smaller cars and handed it over to Vivienne

This vehicle is yours now Vivienne gestured to the van nearby “You can do whatever you want with the

money in the van, but as for Paul

She paused for a brief moment, and the masked figure understood what she meant. “We get it, we get

it. We’ll teach him a lesson for you”

Not only did Vivienne spare their lives but she also kept her promise, giving them a ransom of 10

million dollars

Where else could they find such a good deal? The masked men naturally wanted to show their

gratitude

Vivienne got into the car and drove towards the abandoned factory in the west district, following the

directions they gave her
