Then she turned her gaze towards Morpheus. "It means if he wins, you have to let me sleep with him!" Morpheus' stare at Louis turned fierce as he clenched his fists.

Persephone's small hand gently covered his arm.

"Don't you want to know what I said?" She chuckled. "I gave him just two words-go die."

Morpheus was stunned, meeting her playful gaze.

He was surprised that she understood Latiumo.

Immediately, Persephone spoke fluent Latiumo to Louis. "Although I don't know where you're from, I understand your language. Don't think of humiliating my husband or trying anything with me! Sleeping with you is impossible because, in a while, my husband will tear your bones apart in the ring and mail them to your mom!"

After that, she loudly interpreted for everyone present.

The fighters laughed uproariously.

Morpheus was surprised yet slightly moved. He pulled Persephone into his arms, patting her head.

Only Louis became furious, veins popping on his neck. He roared and threw a punch at Morpheus.

Morpheus swiftly raised his hand and caught Louis' fist.

"Save your energy." Morpheus smirked. "After all, this is an underground gambling den, and we signed a life-and-death agreement! Wasting your strength now will be a real loss when you die in the ring later!" "You..." Louis, filled with anger and humiliation, spat on the ground and stormed away from the crowd.

Morpheus turned to look at Persephone. "This isn't where you should be. Hurry and leave."

"I want to watch your match!"

"Persephone!"

"I must stay here!" She smiled. "I want to witness you tearing that guy's bones apart!"

Morpheus widened his eyes, feeling helpless and joyful. He stared at her as if engraving her image into his eyes. He rubbed her head with a smile.

"Then... wait for me."

"I'll be watching from the stands."

"You'll be scared."

"No, I won't!" Persephone asserted. "I know you'll win!"

Morpheus smiled, glanced at her one last time, and turned to stride away.

Wynn brought Persephone to the spectator seats.

The stands were packed. Once the two fighters entered the ring, the entire place vibrated with excitement, cheers threatening to break the roof.

Many in the audience were fanatical gamblers, devoid of reason or thought, focused solely on victory or defeat. Winning meant wealth and honor, while losing meant losing everything. Persephone's heart raced.

She thought, perhaps she wasn't so different from these people. They gambled with money while she gambled with Morpheus' heart.

The match was incredibly intense. Morpheus and Louis were evenly matched. The roars outside the caged ring surpassed each other, the fight inside a stage of life or death.

Every time Morpheus got injured, Persephone's heart clenched. But each time, he rose up, hitting back with fiercer punches.

Blood sprayed in the ring.

Persephone stood dazed among the crowd. Tears streamed down her face, yet she felt nothing. She didn't know if that blood was Morpheus or Louis'. In her blurred vision, Morpheus fell and stood up again, surrounded by deafening cheers...
