Wow! I'm in luck! Just minutes ago, I was worried that they would refuse to submit to the Southern Faction, but they
seem to be yearning for it! In that case, I might as well lend them a helping hand! Hahaha! This is great!
Having made up his mind, Golden Cicada came up with a plan and hit himself on the chest to cough up a mouthful
of blood.
He then smeared it all over his body and acted as though he was severely injured as he limped into the base.
Sebastian was the first to notice him the moment he entered the base.
“Hold it right there, Golden Cicada! How dare you come back here? You'd better not try anything funny, or I'll kill
you on the spot!” he shouted furiously.
Sebastian's loud yelling instantly drew the attention of everyone in the area.
Realizing that Golden Cicada had returned, everyone swarmed toward him and confronted him angrily.
“You've got some guts coming back here, you f*cking b*stard!”
“Hmph! What, have you not done enough damage? Are you here to finish us off or something?”

“Why are we wasting our energy yelling at him? We should just kill him right away!”
Golden Cicada let out a huge sigh as he replied, “Please just hear me out here, you guys. I know you all hate me for
what I did, but I didn't have a choice.”
“Heh... Are you trying to justify your act of betrayal? You can save your breath, Golden Cicada! We're not going to
believe you!” Sebastian exclaimed.
Golden Cicada then coughed up a huge mouthful of blood on the spot. He was struggling to breathe and looked like
he could die at any second.
He then scanned the crowd with a look of melancholy in his eyes as he said, “Word of advice, don't bite the hand
that feeds you. Trust me, you'll regret it...”
What the f*ck?
The crowd exploded with anger when they heard that.
“How dare you lecture us when you should be apologizing to us? Do you have a death wish or something?”
“Just give the word and we'll kill him, Sebastian!”
“I can't relieve the anger and hatred in my heart unless he's dead!”
To their surprise, Sebastian motioned for them to quiet down.
“Quiet down, people! Let's hear Golden Cicada out. I want to know how we're biting the hand that feeds us here.
Golden Cicada, you'd better give us a good reason, or we will kill you.”
Golden Cicada coughed up yet another mouthful of blood to make himself look as pitiful as possible.
“You can drop the act, Golden Cicada. So what if you're severely wounded? Our comrades have lost their lives! You
should consider yourself lucky that you're still alive!” Sebastian snapped at him.
Golden Cicada waved at him as he replied, “I'm not trying to put up an act. This is just my body responding normally
to these injuries. I don't need your sympathy. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Look, I'll be honest with you all
here. A part of what Draco said is true. It wasn't the Southern Faction that wiped out Centuria. Instead, it was their
enemy, Elder Erebus, who did it.”
Golden Cicada then coughed up a huge mouthful of blood on the spot. He was struggling to breathe and looked like

Elder Erebus?
Everyone exchanged confused glances as they had never heard of that name before.
“Don't bother asking around. None of you here know who Elder Erebus is because he's simply far too powerful. It's
common to not know about someone who is out of our league. Now, you guys might be wondering just how
powerful Elder Erebus is. Well, let's put it this way. With the snap of a finger, he's able to summon hundreds of
shadows and have them enter the bodies of my subordinates. The next thing I know, my subordinates have all
become his puppets. After that, he gave an order that caused all of my subordinates to die on the spot. After killing
my men, he wanted me to submit to him and have my men attack Southern Faction. He threatened to kill me if I
refused to do as he said. Being a man of honor, I told him that I would rather die than sacrifice my subordinates. To
my surprise, he then decided to threaten me with you guys instead. He said he'd kill all of you and feed your
families to the fishes in the ocean if I didn't comply. Please do not doubt Elder Erebus' words because he most
certainly has what it takes to keep them. So, after weighing the pros and cons of my options, I eventually decided to
do as Elder Erebus said. At the very least, my men would have a chance at surviving the battle against the Southern
Faction. It was either that or certain death at the hands of Elder Erebus,” Golden Cicada continued.
