This mercenary group had a reputation for being ruthless. They had taken countless lives, showing no respect for the value of human existence.

Katelyn didn’t hesitate to speak the truth, shaking her head firmly.

“I’m not entirely sure, but it’s clear they want me dead.” Sophia had already made multiple attempts on her life. Although each one had failed, the murderous intent behind Sophia’s actions remained unchanged.

A deep frown creased Seymour’s face as his gaze turned more anxious.

“Katelyn, you need to take care of yourself. If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to ask. They’re not people you can handle lightly.”

Before, it had been one thing to be unaware of such dangers, but now that he knew, how could he stay calm?

Katelyn gave a nod, her voice steady as she reassured him, “I understand.”

A sudden thought crossed Seymour’s mind, and he spoke up without hesitation.

“Now that I think about it, the last time the T Organization was destroyed, it had something to do with royal secrets. It could be tied to the royal family.” After all, why else would they go after a mercenary group?

Katelyn froze, caught off guard by his words.

At this moment, Yata was under Douglas’ influence. Could this possibly be linked to him?

Katelyn reflected on her past dealings with Douglas. Somehow, it didn’t add up. It didn’t seem like his doing at all. If Douglas had truly wanted her dead, he wouldn’t have waited this long. He could have killed her back when she was in Yata.

But now that Seymour had raised this point, Katelyn realized she needed to be extra careful.

Katelyn gave Seymour a firm nod.

“Alright, I understand.” Seymour was about to warn her to stay more cautious when someone entered from outside.

Vincent returned after finishing his call. Seymour chose not to say anything further.

Katelyn, sensing that the conversation was over, smiled at Seymour, her expression warm.

“Are you really sure you don’t want to come back with me? You could stay at my place.”

A hint of worry lingered in her eyes. She was still uneasy about him being alone here.

Seymour waved his hand as if dismissing the idea.

“There’s no need. I’m fine here. Life’s quiet. But you should be careful.” The moment he found out she was being hunted by the T Organization, a constant unease had settled over him. He couldn’t seem to shake the feeling of worrying about her.

Katelyn couldn’t ignore the fact that her safety was at risk now. The thought of bringing her mentor back with her didn’t seem like a good idea. And lately, Zoey had been taking steps of her own.

Not wanting to push him, Katelyn smiled gently and said, “Okay then, please get some rest. I’ll head home now. If you need me or want to talk, just let me know, alright?”

With a gentle touch, she tugged his coat a little tighter, her gaze full of concern.
