Chapter 184
Vivienne rose from her seat. Her aura had now taken a dark turn.
She changed into her clothes, her face stern. "Have the police been informed?"
"They''ve been alerted. The cops are at Ivan’s ce, querying the situation." Lysander replied.
"I see." Vivienne hung up the call.
As she made her way out, she dialed Jan Lockwood’s number, speaking concisely, "I need all the
surveince footage from the stretch between Havenwood Gymnasium and Cloudcrest High School."
The school bus of Cloudcrest High had been hijacked, and Jan, as the head of the local detective
unit, was on the case in no time.
After hearing this from Vivienne, he was initially taken aback but quickly understood. "Alright."
Vivienne was the young Mistress of the Nine Mystics Society.
When her students were in trouble, she couldn''t possibly sit idle.
Jan was quick. He sent the surveince data to Vivienne’s phone within two minutes.
In the living room, Dorian and Cordelia looked up to see Vivienne exiting. Her face was stormy, and she
was making calls as she walked.
Vivienne dialed another number. “Matthew, gather all disciples. Tell them to meet here in Havenwood
and seal off all entrances and exits.”
On the other end, Matthew, upon hearing Vivienne’s call, realized something was wrong.
He hurriedly responded, “Yes. I''ll arrange it right away!”
After a pause, Vivienne gave him another order. “Pick me up at Tranquil Estates.”
“Affirmative.”
After hanging up, Vivienne dialed another number. “Draven, issue an Order of the Nine Mystics Society.
Everyone must seal their city entrances, including all major mountain roads. Block all exits from
Havenwood!”
Draven looked horrified. “Mistress, what happened?”
This was the second time the young Mistress had issued an Order of the Nine Mystics Society. Thest
time was against the Hawthorn family, but only a portion of the members were mobilized.
This time, she was mobilizing everyone and blocking all exits from Havenwood.
Draven could sense the gravity of the situation.
“My students have been kidnapped.”
She only said a few words, but Draven could sense Vivienne’s simmering rage.
He knew better than anyone how protective their young Mistress was of her own!
Even if she couldn''t remember all their names, she would protect anyone under her.
Not to mention those students whom Vivienne personally cared for.
Who dared to mess with her students?
“I understand. I''ll arrange it right away.”
As Vivienne stepped out of the house, Dorian and Cordelia were left aghast.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Did they just hear something about blocking all roads?
What was going on?
What was Vivienne up to?
Before they could react, the door had already shut.
At the entrance of Tranquil Estates, as soon as Vivienne stepped out, Matthew’s car drove up.
In fact, Matthew stayed close to Vivienne. He was ready to act at a moment''s notice.
Vivienne climbed into the car and quickly switched on her phone, transforming it into a minputer.
If anyone else was there, they would be amazed. This was thetest minputer developed by
Alliance Enterprises. It was not yet avable on the market.
Vivienne quickly made a few moves on theputer, soon finding the footage of the hijacking.
The culprits, all masked, acted swiftly. After stopping the bus, they stabbed Ivan and threw him off
without mercy.
Then they seized control of the students with their weapons.
This was the footage from the outside of the bus; the inside was blurred.
Vivienne’s face turned grimmer as she closed the surveince, continuing to operate on theputer.
Soon, the inside surveince footage appeared on herputer.
Just as Vivienne hacked into the surveince, a man in a golden mask waved at the camera. “Hi,
friend, I knew you would find me. I''ve been waiting for you.”
Vivienne squinted, and her body began emanating an icy aura.
“How about we y a game? Let''s see if you can find me and rescue your students.” The man propped
his chin up with his finger as a yful glint appeared in his eye. “My original task was to get something
from you, but I’m apetitive guy. You hacked myputerst time, and that bothered me. Let’s do
this. If you can rescue them from me, we’ll call it even.”
Vivienne stared at the surveince footage as her lips curled into a smile.
So, it was the same man who had helped Arabe frame Dorian online, the one whoseputer she
had hacked, the one whose back was all she had seen.
Another attack from GTO.
Interesting! She hadn’t even gone looking for them, and here they were.
Relentlessly trying to bring her down.
“Oh, and you have to not only save them but also your fiancé''s sister. What was her name? Isolde?
Yes, that''s it!”
The smile froze on Vivienne’s face as she quickly pulled out another phone and dialed Cecilia.
As soon as the call connected, Vivienne asked, “Cecilia, where’s Isolde?”
“Isolde has been kidnapped!” Cecilia was crying hysterically on the other end. “Vivienne, what do we
do? If anything happens to Isolde, I won’t be able to live!”
Vivienne’s face grew colder. She now looked as cold as a cier in the arctic. She suppressed her
rage and spoke with patience. “Tell me what happened first. How was Isolde kidnapped?”
"We were just about to hit the hayst night when, out of the blue, some thugs broke in and snatched
Isolde." Cecilia’s voice was trembling.
Vivienne furrowed her brows. "Didn''t Mr. Ellington arrange for your protection?"
"Yes, but they were too many. Initially, they targeted me, so Percival''s men were too busy fending them
off to notice Isolde. They took advantage of the chaos, grabbed her, and made a quick exit. We couldn''t
catch up."
Vivienne pinched the bridge of her nose. "Go to my ce for now. There will be people to protect you.
Leave the rest to me."
She hung up and nced at the surveince video footage inside the school bus.
The man seemed to know that Vivienne would check on Isolde''s safety, so he kept silent.
When he thought enough time had passed, he began. "This is a multiple-choice question, my friend.
Let''s see, would you save your students or your fiancé''s sister? I''m quite impressed with myself for
Once the time is up, the game is over."
The man finished, and the screen went ck.
Vivienne closed herptop with a poker face.
Matthew pulled up in front of a club and turned to Vivienne. "He probably has your students and Isolde
in different locations. We only have half an hour. We can only save one. What do we do? Who should
we save first?"
Vivienne didn''t answer. Her fingers were speeding over her phone.
She had to save them both.
But she had to save her students in ss Eighteen first.
If it came down to the wire and someone had to die, she could not let forty-five students perish.
It was a tough choice.
But she had to make it.
Soon, two locations popped up on herputer screen.
Vivienne got out of the car.
Suddenly, eight formidable figures approached.
"Mystic Mistress! Where is your so-called fiancé?" Dawson stormed over, looking ready to tear Percival
apart.
Vivienne didn''t have time for idle chatter. She ordered curtly, "Jerry, you and your team block the south
city exit. Daniel, you take the north. Donald, Brian, you guys head to the city gate."
Her gazended on Eric. "You wait here. Someone wille to you. Go to this location."
She handed Eric the coordinates for Isolde''s location.
Eric was a skilled medic and a fighting master. Vivienne felt relieved after entrusting him with Isolde''s
safety.
As she left, she added, "Remember, keep her safe at all costs, until I get there."
The eight men instantly grew serious. "Yes!"
