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."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPersephone 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 inspecting Persephone. "So, this is
Morpheus' girl? Ha! How can she take him when she's so petite?"
She laughed out loud. "Oh, wait! He only looks strong on the outside. He can't last in bed. Hahaha..."
"Don't push it, Shirley!" Wynn couldn't take it anymore. "What business do you have with them?"

"She's Morpheus' girl," he said seriously. "I don't care how he is, but we all know how powerful his fists are! Don't
you dare offend her!"
"You." Shirley looked at Persephone and scoffed. "Yes, I can't afford to offend her! I suppose she has a fetish, or she
wouldn't be friends with a monster like you. Do you guys have threesomes? Or else why are you always clinging to
them? You guys sure are fun people. We can't compete with you on that!"
Wynn's cheeks flushed. "Shut your mouth!"
"You're flustered already?" Shirley got even more excited. "She's saying nothing, so why are you so worked up?
"Hey, you!" She mocked, "Are you deaf or mute? Why aren't you saying anything?"
