Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1926

"Ms. Hamerton, please don't be angry. I'm just worried about you."

"Enough!" Persephone was upset. "Worried? Where were you all when it mattered?! All of you are extraordinary experts, but the moment we arrived in Flinge, everyone went missing!"

Seamus lowered his head, embarrassed by her scolding.

"If it weren't for Morpheus, I'd probably end up in the red-light district as a corpse!"

"Miss..."

Persephone turned her back in annoyance. "And, I've said it before. Drop the address in front of Morpheus!"

"Alright."

After a while, Persephone calmed down. She turned to him and asked, "You brought me out here. Was there something else you wanted to tell me?"

Seamus regained his focus, cleared his throat, and whispered, "After we arrived in Flinge, we were targeted by some factions here... This is the reason we lost contact with you earlier."

Persephone's expression changed. "Who are they?"

"Faction forces," Seamus explained briefly. "The factions here are complex, and Flinge is far from Centrolis. Even if Mr. Hamerton came, he wouldn't be able to control these local powers immediately. They have their rules and criminal methods, making it challenging for the local police to handle them as well..."

"Are they targeting us?"

"Not exactly." Seamus shook his head. "Any new face on that street draws the factions' attention... In short, we've run into trouble this time.

"And Kourtney…" Seamus looked at Persephone with concern. "She might not know your true identity, but she has most likely investigated you. With her capabilities, discovering your identity should not be difficult. So, you mustn't fall into their hands. Otherwise, they'll use you to threaten the Hamertons and Thompsons! Do you... understand?"
