Everyone was staring at Golden Cicada in disbelief.
“The Southern Faction is really willing to take us in? Are you sure you're not messing with us, Golden Cicada? Why
would they take us in after we attacked them? What price did you pay to change their minds about this?” Sebastian
asked.
Golden Cicada let out a sigh as he replied, “You don't need to know that. This is between me and the Southern
Faction, and they won't allow me to tell anyone about it. Come on, I'll take you guys over to the Southern Faction.”
All eyes were on Sebastian as they waited for him to make the decision.
Golden Cicada used to be the most trusted person in the Northern Faction.
After his downfall, however, Sebastian took his place and became the heart of the Northern Faction.
“All right, we'll trust you this once. But if I find out that you're lying to us again, I will cut your head off on the spot!”
Sebastian said with his teeth clenched after giving it some thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGolden Cicada nodded. “Don't worry! I'll chop my own head off if I'm lying to you guys.”
Just like that, they all headed over to the Southern Faction with Golden Cicada and Sebastian leading the way.
The group had just arrived outside the base when the guard stopped them. “Stop right there, you Northern Faction
b*stards! How dare you guys return after we decided to spare your lives? Take another step, and none of you will
be leaving this place alive!”
Sebastian turned toward Golden Cicada and asked, “Hey, Golden Cicada! What's going on here?”
“Please calm down, sir. I've already made a deal with Mr. Williams. We have all agreed to submit to the Southern
Faction and take Mr. Williams' side,” Golden Cicada replied with a smile.
The guard was a little doubtful. “Is that so? How come I haven't heard about it?”
“You can go ask Mr. Williams if you don't believe me,” Golden Cicada suggested.
“You guys wait here. I'll go ask Mr. Williams about this,” the guard said after giving it some thought.
He then ran all the way to Zeke's residence and told him about Golden Cicada and the people from the Northern
Faction.
Zeke was a little surprised when he heard that. Who would've thought Golden Cicada would be able to convince that
many people to join us so soon?
He then had the guard lead him toward Golden Cicada and the others.
The people of the Northern Faction calmed down when they saw Zeke show up.
Golden Cicada bowed respectfully at Zeke as he said, “I have brought everyone over, Mr. Williams. Please take us
in.”
Sebastian and the others, too, bowed and said, “Please take us in, Mr. Williams!”
Zeke nodded. “All right, then. You can all stay here.”
The members of the Northern Faction cheered out loud in response.
“Since you're all going to stay here, I'll need you all to do some work for me. Tell me, do any of you know how to
refine spiritual iron?” Zeke asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbout twenty people in the crowd raised their hands, including Sebastian and Golden Cicada.
Zeke's lips curled into a satisfied smile when he saw that.
They have twice as many people compared to the Southern Faction who know how to refine spiritual iron. We'll
finally be able to speed up the process.
With that in mind, he said, “Golden Cicada, lead them and assist with the refining of spiritual iron.”
“Right!”
Golden Cicada waved at the others and had them follow him.
Zeke then turned toward the rest and continued, “The rest of you can help with collecting Spirit Stones.”
“Understood!”
Fearing that they would get kicked out, they immediately began working diligently.
The next few days went by peacefully, but the peace did not last long. Three days after the Northern Faction
submitted to Zeke, Phoenix went looking for Zeke urgently.
Since she and Zeke were close, she barged right into his room without even knocking.
“Bad news, Zeke!” she exclaimed anxiously, only to realize Zeke was still sleeping soundly in bed.
What the... Why is Zeke spending most of his time sleeping? He's such a lazy bum!
Unbeknownst to her, Zeke was sleeping in hopes of seeing Lacey and the old beggar in his dreams again.
