Soon, the group of Centurions finally saw Golden Cicada.

What they couldn't believe, however, was how their commander had gone from being high and mighty to becoming

all grubby and unkempt. They'd have thought he was a beggar if they didn't know any better, though, to be honest,

even beggars looked cleaner than him!

Golden Cicada's eyes were dull as he stared blankly at the ground. He was, without a doubt, a far cry from the awe-

inspiring leader he once was.

“Thank goodness you're still alive, Commander Golden Cicada!” Sebastian exclaimed while approaching the man.

Golden Cicada merely lifted his head and surveyed his surroundings, the fear in his eyes clear as day.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before he calmed himself down. “I'm glad that you guys are okay. I'm glad...”

“Commander Golden Cicada, I went to your base earlier and found it completely destroyed. Can you tell us what

happened?”

“Southern Faction... It was the Southern Faction!” Golden Cicada mumbled, the mere thought of the horrific

bloodbath still making him anxious and fidgety. “Southern Faction killed my Centuria. We have to wipe them out!”

The faces of the Centurions instantly clouded over.

Since Golden Cicada had confirmed his Centuria was annihilated and that even he had almost died, a battle with the

Southern Faction was now inevitable.

That also meant the good, peaceful days would soon become a thing of the past.

“Hmph! Southern Faction has gone too far!” Sebastian said through gritted teeth. “We in Northern Faction don't like

stirring up trouble, but we definitely won't stand by and do nothing, either! Down with Southern Faction!”

“Down with Southern Faction!” the Centurions chimed in.

Back in Southern Faction, Zeke, Sole Wolf, and the rest had been on around-the-clock alert, afraid that people from

Netherworld might launch a sneak attack on them.

Fortunately, the Netherworld people might've also realized they couldn't avoid Zeke's watchful eye, so no one dared

to show up.

On the second day of his guard duty, Zeke suddenly received a call from Killer Wolf.

Killer Wolf had headed into Theos Island to search for Lacey, so the fact that he was calling might very well mean

that he had tracked her down.

Needless to say, Zeke was beyond excited.

“Killer Wolf, have you gotten any news about Lacey?”

“I'm sorry, Zeke. We haven't found any traces of her. That said, please don't worry. We'll do everything we can to

track her down.”

“All right. What's your reason for calling, then?”

“Oh, it's because we discovered people secretly transporting Spirit Stones to the outskirts of Theos Island,” Killer

Wolf replied. “It all seemed pretty iffy, so I wanted to let you know.”

Zeke furrowed his brows. “Huh? Transporting Spirit Stones to the outer district? That's not right! The stones should

all be sent to Legatus or Camps North and South, where they can be used to forge divine weapons. They shouldn't

be leaked outside of the island. In any case, I'm sure there's something fishy. Catch some of the people transporting

the stones and interrogate them, Killer Wolf.”

“I did, Zeke. But as soon as I caught them, they took their own lives. I couldn't stop them at all,” Killer Wolf

grumbled. “That being said, my endeavors weren't all in vain. Those people reeked of negative energy and moved

like stiff, mindless zombies. I strongly suspect they were under the control of those from the Netherworld.”

Upon hearing that, Zeke clenched his jaw. Netherworld again? D*mn it!

“There must be a reason the Netherworld people are transporting Spirit Stones to the outskirts... Leave this matter

to me, Killer Wolf. I want you to concentrate on tracking down Lacey.”

“Got it!”

Having ended the call, Zeke pondered for a moment before dialing Zander's number.

Once a traitor of Eurasia, Zander Keach was now a ferryman for Theos Sect, whose job entailed picking up the new

believers and transporting them to Theos Island.

After his last meeting with Zeke, the latter helped him, so Zander pledged his loyalty to Zeke ever since.

I always thought I'd only need Zander's help when leaving Theos Island. Who knew I'd require his assistance so

soon?
