Zephyr's voice was low. "Sephy, our men are on their way, and Nicholas has already intervened, making contact
with the factions over there... No matter what happens, don't be afraid. We're here for you!"
Persephone's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at the person beside her.
Morpheus remained expressionless. Although the phone was old-fashioned, it didn't transmit sound. Even in this
small, quiet room, he couldn't hear what was being said through the receiver. Besides, he had been constantly
glancing out the window as if on alert.
Persephone remembered his words. The situation here couldn't be resolved by calling the police, and she shouldn't

She couldn't comprehend what it all meant, but the situation was likely far more complex than she imagined. She
was grateful to have him during this time, ensuring her safe survival in this perilous situation.
But if the Hamertons dispatched a large number of people...
Persephone hesitated and said softly on the call, "Grandpa Zephyr, I'm not afraid. I've realized how stubborn and
reckless I've been, making you all worry. I'm truly sorry."
"Silly child, what are you saying? Your safety is the most important."
"I'm safe now." She chuckled, glancing at Morpheus. "And I'm doing fine. Someone is specifically taking care of

Morpheus paused and turned to look at her, his expression difficult to interpret.
"So, you really don't need to worry about me." Persephone lowered her voice. "Moreover, this place is someone
else's territory... Sometimes, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, Grandpa Zephyr. You should
understand this logic.
"Alright, I won't talk with you anymore!" She smiled and regained her cheerful demeanor. "I'll call you on time. I'm
hanging up for today!"
"Hey, Sephy!" Lina urgently called out, "Do you have enough money on you? Where are you staying now? Are you
safe?"
"I'm safe, very safe!" Persephone gently reassured her mother. The money issue did awaken her concern. She

She had been freeloading at Morpheus' place all this while and had yet to understand the hardship without money.
Despite that, she couldn't keep going on like this.
She glanced cautiously at Morpheus and whispered, cupping the receiver, "I want to—"
As soon as she began, Morpheus discerned her intention. He coldly said, "Not happening!"
"I haven't even said what it is!"
"You want your family to send you money, right?"
