Persephone widened her eyes. It was her ex-boyfriend, the mistake of her four years in university—the youth she misspent, the jerk she misjudged!She had inherited most of the excellent genes from the Hamertons, especially loyalty. Since entering university, she had fallen for this poised and handsome senior. She had poured her heart and soul into their four years together. Yet, on her graduation day, he confessed that he had fallen for someone else..."Sephy, I'm sorry. She's the daughter of the chairman of the company where I interned. Being with her could spare me 20 years of struggle... Please understand, I want a better life!"At that moment, Persephone almost crushed the cup of bubble tea in her hand!Her parents had always taught her to keep a low profile, not just due to their humble and cautious nature but to avoid unnecessary trouble. As such, after attending the international kindergarten, she had private teachers at home starting from elementary school.Even in univers

No one, not even Persephone's parents or the persuasion of Zephyr and Nicholas, could deter her from making her decision.-A few days later, Persephone arrived in Flinge, the central city of the five provinces by the border. It was far from Centrolis, a world she had never seen before. Here, it was different from elsewhere, with its prosperity and darkness, a place of extravagance and infamy.This area was a mix of everything, housing many fugitives, drug dealers, and wanted criminals. It was a haven for crime, as the rumors suggested."I heard Greta was sold to human traffickers by her own father!" Persephone remembered Theodore's words. "There are many human traffickers in Flinge. They torture kidnapped girls in various ways... The place is terrifying. Are you really going there?"Persephone looked up at the neon signs overhead and took a deep breath.In truth, human traffickers posed no threat to her. Even if there was no influence from the Hamertons there, they wouldn't allo

"Oh, Morpheus, still so dedicated!"The sharp voice of the woman made Morpheus furrow his brows involuntarily."I've brought something good for you today!"Before the words could land, Morpheus had already noticed the girl they had brought along.For some reason, his heart trembled slightly at the sight of her. This street was both the most bustling and the dirtiest in Flinge. He had never seen a girl daring enough to wear a long white dress on this street.Wasn't she afraid of getting dirty?As it turned out, just like Fat Jim had said, she was an outsider, unaware of the dangers lurking in these murky waters.Kourtney Moon took a few steps forward, her eyes glued to Morpheus' well-built muscles. She smiled cryptically, her hips sashaying like a serpent.Clad in a striking dress that was fitted to her figure and paired with her bold makeup and fragrance, she exuded a compelling aura.Her gaze roamed over Morpheus' form. As the most famous madam in this area, she always though

Persephone had indeed quieted down, but her claws were still out.Morpheus looked at her with an undecipherable look."Outside..." Persephone also heard the commotion and glanced at Morpheus.Morpheus nodded slightly at her.Oddly enough, how did he know that she wanted to ask if those people outside were the ones who had brought her here?Morpheus leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "It's Kourtney and Fat Jim. They came intentionally to test us."Persephone was puzzled. Test? Weren't those two clearly traffickers? Greta had been bought by them!Morpheus asked, "Hey, can you moan?""Moan... about what?"Morpheus smirked, swiftly lifting her by the waist and tossing her onto the bed.Persephone was startled. She hit her head on the headboard and felt dizzy instantly.The next moment, Morpheus pressed down on her!Persephone screamed, kicking and resisting with all her might, but to no avail. It was then that she finally understood the saying about an insignificant inse

Morpheus gazed incredulously at Persephone.What was she saying? Best hunters? Appearing as prey? It sounded like a joke!Those people's noses were keener than dogs in a place like this. They didn't care if one were a hunter or prey. As long as they smelled money on one, they would resort to all sorts of brutal means to drain one's last drop of blood."Unfortunately, you've got it wrong." Morpheus looked coldly at her. "The person you're looking for might not be on this street. At least I haven't heard that name.""Could it be... Greta changed her name?" Persephone speculated. "What do girls sold here usually do?"Morpheus frowned, staring at her as if she were clueless. No, she probably wasn't clueless. To speak of excellent hunters appearing as prey and maintaining calmness in danger? Such courage wasn't something an ordinary girl possessed. Perhaps in her world, she was clever, even from an elite background.However, this was a quagmire, a bottomless, dirty pit.Falling into
