"Ms. Hamerton, please don't be angry. I'm just worried about you."
"Enough!" Persephone was upset. "Worried? Where were you all when it mattered?! All of you are extraordinary
experts, but the moment we arrived in Flinge, everyone went missing!"
Seamus lowered his head, embarrassed by her scolding.
"If it weren't for Morpheus, I'd probably end up in the red-light district as a corpse!"
"Miss..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPersephone turned her back in annoyance. "And, I've said it before. Drop the address in front of Morpheus!"
"Alright."
After a while, Persephone calmed down. She turned to him and asked, "You brought me out here. Was there
something else you wanted to tell me?"
Seamus regained his focus, cleared his throat, and whispered, "After we arrived in Flinge, we were targeted by
some factions here... This is the reason we lost contact with you earlier."
Persephone's expression changed. "Who are they?"
"Faction forces," Seamus explained briefly. "The factions here are complex, and Flinge is far from Centrolis. Even if
Mr. Hamerton came, he wouldn't be able to control these local powers immediately. They have their rules and
criminal methods, making it challenging for the local police to handle them as well..."
"Are they targeting us?"
"Not exactly." Seamus shook his head. "Any new face on that street draws the factions' attention... In short, we've
run into trouble this time.
"And Kourtney..." Seamus looked at Persephone with concern. "She might not know your true identity, but she has
most likely investigated you. With her capabilities, discovering your identity should not be difficult. So, you mustn't
fall into their hands. Otherwise, they'll use you to threaten the Hamertons and Thompsons! Do you... understand?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPersephone frowned, biting her lip.
Since childhood, she had been well-protected and shielded from the world's malicious speculations, which made her
live a somewhat self-centered life. Her focus was solely on finding her childhood friend, causing her to overlook the
family supporting her and the harm that her recklessness brought upon them.
"Miss..." Seamus halted, changing his words. Sephy, we must leave this place as soon as possible!" Seamus patted
her shoulder. "Also, although our people were ambushed last time, we've learned some information... I'm afraid
you won't find the person you're looking for here."
"What?!" Persephone was taken aback.
Seamus hesitated before slowly saying, "Greta might have already been sold overseas."
