Chapter 1911

Persephone was taken aback, looking at the woman with doubt.Meanwhile, Wynn appeared awkward, tilting his body as if dodging her."What's wrong?" Persephone asked."She's Shirley," he said softly. "She's with Kourtney."Persephone thought fast, connecting that with his past, and roughly guessed the grudge between them.There were many nightclubs on the street, and Kourtney was a powerful madam. She certainly had many "generals" under her wing. Shirley seemed to be one of them.Meanwhile, a "skirmisher" like Wynn had no support. They must have boycotted him. Given his special identity as a man, they likely looked down on him and bullied him. However, they dared not go over the line. After all, he had Morpheus behind him.The most they would do was what she was doing now—teasing and humiliating him before leaving him alone.He grabbed Persephone and gestured toward the alley. "Sephy, let's walk there.""Hey, don't go just yet." Shirley crossed the line, blocking them and rudely

Just as Shirley teetered on the edge of losing her composure, she abruptly detected an imposing presence emanating from the girl before her. A chill ran down her spine, prompting an instinctive step backward.Persephone smiled, yet her eyes exuded an icy demeanor. She took a deliberate step forward and said, "My friend and I are heading to the shopping mall now. Do you still intend to stop us?"Shirley breathed heavily and glared at her fiercely."Also, there's something I'd like to make clear." Persephone displayed no hint of fear. "I don't know what issue you have with Wynn, but everyone has the right to live life on their terms. I respect his choices, and I'm willing to be his friend. That's none of your concern. I don't need you dictating my actions! If I catch you being rude to him again, I won't let you off easily!"Her assertiveness stunned Shirley.She had assumed the girl Kourtney had handed over to Morpheus to be weak, never expecting her to be quite resilient. Now infur

Wynn couldn't catch Persephone. As such, he could only accompany her into the shopping mall with his head held low. It marked the first time he saw her in a different light. Her eyes lit up as soon as she entered.Despite being nothing compared to Centrolis, the mall boasted a collection of global brands and luxury items. Its location at the border intersecting a couple of provinces made it unique. This made many limited edition collections available, and their prices were 1/3 cheaper than in Centrolis.Persephone felt like she was in heaven, behaving like a happy bird that had flown out of its cage.Wynn followed her, feeling uncomfortable as shop assistants looked at them with judgment. However, she indulged herself, oblivious to the stares."Sephy…" He said softly, "It's almost time. Let's go?""We're leaving now?" She was stunned. "We've just come in!"Wynn forced a smile. "I can't even afford a cotton pad here!"She pouted.However, she was familiar with these brands."I

There seemed to be a voice inside Persephone that said, "Don't do this. It's someone else's money."She recalled what Wynn had told her. Morpheus' life hung on the edge every day working at the underground arena. The slightest mistake could cost him his life.However, the audience watching the competitions were avid gamblers who cared little for the fighters' lives, deriving pleasure from the adrenaline of gambling.Her hands shook.She glimpsed Morpheus' blood-stained wrist wrap, a testament to the toll he paid for every cent earned. Yet, she...After some thought, she held onto the credit card."What's wrong?" Wynn asked softly."I-I'm sorry." She turned to face him. "I suddenly remembered that this is Morpheus' hard-earned money. Even though he gave me his card, I shouldn't spend it thoughtlessly. Also, taking credit for using his money to buy you things doesn't make sense…"She was sincere, "Wynn, can we buy these later? When I have the money, I—""Of course!" He smiled ha

Chapter 1915

Persephone stood in stunned silence as the voice echoed. A tall figure approached, his broad shoulders reaching out to grab her.Unintentionally, her gaze caught two shadows on the wall, merging into one, and she blushed.Morpheus swiftly took the credit card from her hand, slamming it onto the counter. "What are you buying?" he asked.Caught off guard, she stammered, "N-Nothing...""Buy anything you'd like," he commanded, his voice gentle despite his fierce appearance. "I have money. Let's see who dares to look down on you here!"A tickling sensation warmed Persephone's heart, an odd but pleasant feeling.Seeing that Morpheus was so muscular and fierce he could totally play a bandit in a movie, the shop assistant dared not offend him, even though she looked down on him."Alright, sir." She smiled, packing the items Persephone had chosen. "I'll ring up the bill."Morpheus remained silent, coldly staring.After paying, Persephone held his arm and playfully said, "Morpheus, she

"Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Morpheus asked."Umm…" Persephone pursed her lips. "Do you think I was being unreasonable at the store?""What?""The brand is known for its quality. Basically, nobody would get a refund," she said softly. "As soon as the manager finds out that someone requested a refund, the shop assistant will be questioned and might be fired.""What? You can't bear for that to happen to her?""No." She looked into his eyes. All the words were stuck in her throat—she had no idea how to say it.It was not that she couldn't bear to do it—she cared about what he thought.She was worried he might think she was being stubborn and stirring trouble.She was worried she might become an unreasonable and self-centered girl to him.Even she was shocked when that thought came up. Why did she care about that so much?"That's how the world is." Morpheus' voice was deep. "If we don't bully anyone, we can't just take it blindly when we're bullied. Is it fair if y

Chapter 1917

Persephone froze as she gazed at Morpheus.He bore numerous wounds, spanning from his neck down to the back of his feet. Positioned with his back to the bathroom door, he appeared to be tending to an injury on his back.Bruises, swelling, cuts…There were bruises and patches of dried blood, silently proclaiming to the world that he had endured a brutal and vicious battle.Yet, at the shopping mall, he had displayed nothing.It turned out he had been suppressing his pain.Persephone felt a jolt in her heart. Her hand, covering her mouth, slowly dropped."Aren't you... sleeping?" he asked."I woke up," she said softly. "Your wounds…""It's nothing."Morpheus seemed calm, but his heart was in turmoil. Grabbing his clothes quietly, he accidentally aggravated the wounds on his back in his haste.He bit his lip, striving to endure it."L-Let me tend to your wounds!" Persephone suddenly said.Morpheus was stunned—doubt flashed through his eyes.His reason urged him to keep his d

Chapter 1918

Persephone had never witnessed the cruelty of life, nor had she fathomed the extent to which it could push a person. While her brother, back in the Hamertons, had a boxing trainer to enhance his physique as a personal interest, Morpheus engaged in it for survival.The realization hit her, and a wave of sadness washed over Persephone, prompting tears to fall. She struggled to speak, her voice choked. "Who... was it... Who subjected you to such brutality... Does it... hurt?"Morpheus' heart tightened at her words. Slowly, he turned to face her, questioning if the glistening tears on her face were for him. Touched by the unspoken emotion, he refrained from expressing it overtly.After a prolonged silence, he handed her a bottle of ointment. In the darkness, his deep voice resonated. "I can't reach my back, indeed. Please apply this for me."Persephone was taken aback. Wiping away her tears, she accepted the bottle. As she ceased crying, he softened his demeanor.In the quiet house,

Morpheus battled insomnia that night, tossing and turning in a restless struggle. Despite his weariness, sleep eluded him, his mind consumed by thoughts of Persephone.Unable to divert his focus, he found himself immersed in memories of her. Yet, in the rare moments when her image faded, all that remained was the haunting specter of his life, besieged by bullets.The merciless brutality of the battlefield lingered in his thoughts—the shattered ruins, the blood-soaked drains.He curled into a ball and closed his eyes, a sharp pain radiating from the depths of his heart. Trembling and breathless, he grappled with the overwhelming anguish.Morpheus summoned his strength and compelled himself to sit up, seeking solace in the bathroom. Cold water cascaded over his wounds as he cleansed them repeatedly.Gazing into the mirror, he confronted his reflection, a visual narrative of scars, old and new. Perhaps, he mused, his involvement in the gritty underground arena served as a deliberate

Persephone pointed at them. "These two herbs together are for promoting blood circulation and removing bruises. Soaking them in bathwater and using them to wash can reduce swelling and alleviate pain..."Morpheus gazed at her steadily. Yet, Persephone interpreted his complex expression as his surprise.Waving her hand, she chuckled and continued. "No need to thank me. These are small matters to me! And you don't have to worry about the proportion. It's absolutely precise!"Morpheus narrowed his eyes. The herbs were quite common, but not in Flinge, not even familiar. However, in Southeast Aciatic... His heart lurched, and his gaze toward Persephone deepened."Hey, this is the culmination of my lifelong learning!" Persephone looked at him. "You should go to the pharmacy for them when you have time!"After a prolonged silence, Morpheus asked in a low voice, "How do you know these prescriptions?"Persephone felt proud. What was so difficult about it? Her grandmother was a descendant
