Zephyr's voice was low. "Sephy, our men are on their way, and Nicholas 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 glancing 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't comprehend what it all meant, but the situation was likely far more complex 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 a large 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, glancing 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 place 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?"
