Chapter 1909


    Zephyr’s voice was low. “Sephy, our men are on their way, and Nichs has already intervened,


    making contact with the factions over there… No matter what happens, don’t be afraid. We’re here for


    you!”


    Persephone’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at the person beside her.


    Morpheus remained expressionless. Although the phone was old-fashioned, it didn’t transmit sound.


    Even in this small, quiet room, he couldn’t hear what was being said through the receiver. Besides, he


    had been constantly ncing out the window as if on alert.


    Persephone remembered his words. The situation here couldn’t be resolved by calling the police, and


    she shouldn’t endanger more people.


    She couldn’tprehend what it all meant, but the situation was likely far moreplex than she


    imagined. She was grateful to have him during this time, ensuring her safe survival in this perilous


    situation.


    But if the Hamertons dispatched arge number of people…


    Persephone hesitated and said softly on the call, “Grandpa Zephyr, I’m not afraid. I’ve realized how


    stubborn and reckless I’ve been, making you all worry. I’m truly sorry.”


    “Silly child, what are you saying? Your safety is the most important.”


    “I’m safe now.” She chuckled, ncing at Morpheus. “And I’m doing fine. Someone is specifically taking


    care of me!”


    Morpheus paused and turned to look at her, his expression difficult to interpret.


    “So, you really don’t need to worry about me.” Persephone lowered her voice. “Moreover, this ce is


    someone else’s territory… Sometimes, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, Grandpa


    Zephyr. You should understand this logic.


    “Alright, I won’t talk with you anymore!” She smiled and regained her cheerful demeanor. “I’ll call you on


    time. I’m hanging up for today!”


    “Hey, Sephy!” Lina urgently called out, “Do you have enough money on you? Where are you staying


    now? Are you safe?”


    “I’m safe, very safe!” Persephone gently reassured her mother. The money issue did awaken her


    concern. She didn’t have any money left!


    She had been freeloading at Morpheus’ ce all this while and had yet to understand the hardship


    without money. Despite that, she couldn’t keep going on like this.


    She nced cautiously at Morpheus and whispered, cupping the receiver, “I want to—”


    As soon as she began, Morpheus discerned her intention. He coldly said, “Not happening!”

    “You want your family to send you money, right?”


    Persephone froze, and the next moment, she sumbed to Morpheus’ overwhelming presence.


    “Mom, I have money,” she said into the phone. “Don’t worry. I won’t mistreat myself! Alright, this phone


    belongs to someone else. Don’t call this number. I’ll contact you, okay!”


    With that, she hung up the call.


    Morpheus crossed his arms, his eyes slightly narrowed. Persephone wasn’t exactly dumb. She knew to


    inform her family not to call this number. In that case, she should understand why he didn’t allow her


    family to send her money.


    “Once you’re in contact with your family, some things wille to light. Although, I’m not sure what


    those things might be,” Morpheus murmured.


    Persephone remained silent for a while, nodding as if understanding but not quite.

    Flinge was a peculiar city, shrouded in darkness, with many areas untouched by sunlight. A small


    misstep could cause a chain reaction, like the butterfly effect. The consequences were something even


    Morpheus couldn’t predict. That was why he didn’t want her to have contact with the outside world—to


    minimize this possibility.
