Chapter 1900


    Persephone was clearly afraid yet determined to tough it out. She clearlycked the ability, yet insisted


    on barging into hell. Was she now left with nothing but stubbornness and pride?


    Morpheus sighed, his voice much gentler. “You’ve provoked Kourtney and Jim. Now that they’ve


    noticed you don’t expect to leave unscathed. This ce hasplex gang rtions. The entire Klinge


    is just gang territory.”


    He looked at her. “You’ve already gotten involved, and you won’t be able to pull yourself out. Besides,


    you still want to continue searching for your friend’s whereabouts, right?”


    Persephone thought for a moment and nodded. “So… what should I do?”

    “Stay with me for now.”


    “With… you?”


    Morpheus raised an eyebrow. “Am I not good enough for you?”


    Persephone was momentarily at a loss for words, her mind nk.


    “Just kidding.” Morpheus chuckled. “We’ll stay together temporarily, making them think you’re with me.


    It’ll keep you safe.”


    Persephone sat quietly, not saying a word. The feisty, wed little cat had suddenly be a docile


    rabbit. The softest spot deep within Morpheus was unintentionally stirred.


    After a while, he sat next to her and solemnly said, “Rest assured. I won’t touch you.”


    Persephone looked up abruptly. His gaze was cryptic, but she could see a glimmer of warmth like the


    setting sun breaking through dark clouds and gradually softening him.


    She nced at her bracelet, the pendant still dark. Unable to contact her people, he might be her only


    reliance for now.


    “Okay,” she said softly. “When I safely leave this ce, I’ll make sure to thank you properly.”


    “Don’t worry about leaving for now. If the timees, I’ll hBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    lp you.”


    “Okay.”


    “But first, you need to tell me your name.” Morpheus turned to look at her, smiling. “I’m Morpheus


    Orton.”


    He then took out paper and pen from the drawer to write down his name.


    Persephone smiled sheepishly.


    “What’s your name?”


    “I’m Persephone Hamerton.”


    Morpheus stared. “Did your birth cause your parents a lot of trouble?”


    “You…” She also red at him, writing her name on the paper.


    Once finished, they exchanged a smile.


    “Persephone” and “Morpheus” were written side by side on the paper, just like the two of them were


    sitting closely together in front of the table.


    “By the way, there’s one more thing,” Morpheus said with a serious tone. “The people outside earlier


    were Kourtney and Fat Jim. Kourtney will surely ask you about me tomorrow…”


    “Ask me about what?”


    Morpheus coughed, feeling a bit awkward. “Just follow what I taught you, alright?”


    “Oh.” Persephone struggled to understand. “Then how should I respond?”
