"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..."

Persephone 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?"

Persephone 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."

Persephone's mind went blank as she leaned lightly against the wall.

Seamus didn't know how to comfort her. He did what he used to do when she was upset as a child-grabbed her hand and let her hold his ear, making her laugh again. But this time, that method seemed to fail.

Seamus sighed softly and whispered, "I've already arranged it. Three days from now, I'll take you by boat. This place isn't far from Southeast Aciatic, and our ship will circle through the Southeast Aciatic sea area before returning to Centrolis. Our people will be there all along the way, so don't worry."

He paused. "Sephy, hurry back home. Mrs. Hamerton is losing sleep worrying about you all the time. Can you bear to see her like that?"

"Yeah, I understand." Persephone nodded. "Three days later, I'll leave with you."

Seamus smiled. "Okay."

Persephone managed to force a smile and tugged at his ear.

The door creaked open at that moment, and Morpheus stood before them.
