Revolting filth spewed from the mouths of those two men.
In that instant, Persephone's mind went blank. She remembered the note also said: [Don't board the ship. There's danger.]
With what those two men said... Her heart dropped, and she felt as though she had stepped off a cliff into an abyss!
Persephone forced herself not to link these two things together, but could there really be such a coincidence in this world?
If the heiress the two men spoke of wasn't her, then what about the note?
Persephone slumped against a pillar, breathing heavily with cold sweat running down her body. However, she quickly calmed herself, turned to look at the two men, and discreetly followed them.
Shortly after, she witnessed the two men circling around the waiting room, then sneakily boarding a certain ship...
Under the moonlight, she discerned the ship's number on the hull—0829. It was the very ship Seamus had arranged to take her back to Centrolis!
Persephone felt hollowed out, like a bomb exploded in her mind, rendering her thoughts into blank chaos. She held her breath, suppressed her racing heartbeat, and subconsciously looked for Seamus.
As she ran back, she hesitated.
How could those two men board the ship? Hadn't Seamus arranged everything already?
Could it be... Seamus had also arranged those two?
Impossible!
Persephone squatted on the ground and clutched her head, tears streaming uncontrollably. Her world felt like the vast, endless black of the sea before her. It was an abyss of despair.

Seamus waited for quite a while. The ship's captain had sent people several times to urge him to board, but he saw no sign of Persephone.
He went to the restroom, finding it empty, not a soul inside.
The two men stared at each other, and Seamus swung his stick, hitting them repeatedly. Blood gushed from their heads, forming rivulets down their faces.
Enraged, the two men lunged forward to confront Seamus.

Persephone saw the commotion on the ship from afar. The vessel rocked on the sea, seemingly at the mercy of every small wave, as if ready to be swallowed by the ocean.
Her heart clenched, and she staggered back to the waiting room.
At that point, the other two bodyguards were also agitated, desperately trying to board.
"Where's Seamus?" Persephone shouted.
"He's on the ship!" One bodyguard blocked her, instructing the other, "You stay here to protect Ms. Hamerton. I'll go help Seamus!"
