Persephone looked up and nearly burst into tears. "Morpheus...""It's okay." Morpheus smiled, patting her head. "I'm here. Don't be afraid."Tears streamed down Persephone's face. She didn't know how she managed to stand up from that hard, tiny chair. Her whole being felt chaotic, yet she could keenly sense the person beside her, giving her strength and offering reassurance."She's my wife." Morpheus spoke slowly, his sharp gaze scanning everyone. "We finished dinner, went out for a stroll, happened to be at the dock, and unexpectedly encountered the ship explosion.""Is that true?" The officer remained skeptical.However, the officer who had just entered the room clearly had a higher rank than the one questioning Persephone. Despite his doubts, he didn't press further.The officer pondered for a moment, perhaps reluctant, then continued. "Sir, the person in the adjacent room...""His name is Seamus Rutherford, my wife's cousin." Morpheus' expression didn't change. "He's visitin

Persephone's expression changed. She refrained from pressing for details, confident that Seamus would handle everything. What puzzled her was the supposed loyalty of the individuals meticulously chosen by the Hamertons and Thompsons.Yet, there was a traitor among them, targeting her life!Seamus said, gripping her arm, "Sephy, don't worry. I'll always protect you.""Sorry, overheard your conversation." Morpheus' brow furrowed, his gaze heavy on Seamus. "Who do you mean by 'a mole'?""This is our business." Seamus avoided disclosing too much. "Mr. Orton, it's better not to ask. But... Sephy might need to trouble you for a while longer.""Continue staying with me?""Yes." Seamus held his gaze.At this point, he no longer harbored the initial distrust toward Morpheus. He sensed Morpheus genuinely cared for Persephone, providing reassurance.For now, he couldn't stay by Persephone's side. With the traitor identified, he had to handle it. This person had no vendetta against the Ham

"Wynn...""Morpheus has been kind to me, and I hope for his happiness." Wynn looked at her intently. "And you, you're the only girl in this world who has never looked down on me. I hope... you find even greater happiness than Morpheus."Persephone choked up, unsure of what to say. Wynn seemed to understand her thoughts. He patted her head, letting everything rest unspoken."I've never had a proper romantic relationship." He chuckled bitterly. "But I know love is a beautiful thing. Sephy, you can trust Morpheus."Persephone gazed into the distance thoughtfully. A mist hovered over the sea, shrouding her heart as if she could never see the future clearly.However, Wynn's words had an effect on her.After descending the mountain, she inexplicably found herself at the place where Morpheus practiced boxing.The entrance to the underground arena was tightly shut in broad daylight, guarded by people who were vigilant like watchdogs. In spite of this, they recognized her and knew she wa

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 a

The surreal sensation made Persephone feel like she was floating in the clouds. She felt a bit shy but couldn't bring herself to refuse.Morpheus' kiss was intense and fervent as if he wanted to pour all his passion into that one kiss. He wished to transform that moment into eternity."I like you," he murmured against her lips, his voice husky. "Sephy, don't leave me..."Persephone instinctively nodded along. She was engulfed in heat, every cell in her body ablaze, every inch of her skin ignited by him.-At night, Morpheus found himself on that battlefield again in his dreams.It was a scene of devastation, bloodshed everywhere, much like the fight with Louis in the ring today. He trod upon the bloodstains and gradually moved forward, even doubting if this was a dream or reality.He kept calling out those names, those who had fought alongside him, yet they all turned into wisps of smoke, fleeting past him."You'll never find them!" Suddenly, a deep voice echoed from above.Mo
