Soon, he arrived at the Spirit Stone storage of Southern Faction, and he was flabbergasted by what he saw. Back
then, there were only a few in Southern Faction who knew how to refine spiritual iron. Now, they have around thirty
people refining spiritual iron! Furthermore, I don't even know who most of them are!
Speedy swept his gaze across the place and quickly found a familiar face. Isn't that Golden Cicada? Isn't he the
leader of Northern Faction Centuria? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Have I gone mad? What is this? Everyone
knows about the rift between Southern Faction and Northern Faction. Northern Faction was even planning on wiping
Southern Faction out! Now, the leader of Northern Faction is helping Southern Faction refine spiritual iron! Did
Southern Faction and Northern Faction join forces? That can't be, right?
Instead of racking his brain, Speedy went up to Golden Cicada and asked, “Golden Cicada, why are you not in
Northern Faction? What are you doing in Southern Faction?”
Everyone immediately lifted their heads when they heard those words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they saw that it was Speedy, they all reacted differently.
While Golden Cicada was utterly embarrassed, Draco was sweating bullets.
Draco scolded the guards inwardly. Didn't I tell them to inform Mr. Williams the moment they see Speedy? They
were supposed to let Mr. Williams deal with this bloke. What am I supposed to do now that he is here?
With that in mind, Draco instructed a subordinate nearby, “Let Mr. Williams know about this. Hurry!”
“Got it!” The subordinate sped away.
Speedy was getting annoyed when he said, “Golden Cicada, why are you in a daze? I asked you a question. Why did
you suddenly come to the base of Southern Faction Centuria?”
Golden Cicada felt even more embarrassed, and he chuckled awkwardly. “Oh! It's nothing. I was free, so I came for
a stroll.”
Golden Cicada couldn't possibly tell Speedy that he had brought Northern Faction Centuria over to join Southern
Faction. That would be shameful.
Obviously, Speedy wasn't convinced. “Why are you lying? Did you think I was going to believe you? Tell me the
truth. What's going on?”
In the end, Golden Cicada had no choice but to tell the truth. “I... I brought Northern Faction Centuria here to join
Southern Faction.”
Huh? Speedy was stumped. “You're Golden Cicada, the leader of Northern Faction Centuria, no? You were so high
and mighty. How did you end up submitting to Southern Faction? Haha! How funny is this?”
Golden Cicada's face flushed bright red when he heard those words. I want nothing more than to skin Speedy alive!
Speedy laughed for a while more before adding, “Be honest with me, okay? Did the new leader of Southern Faction
make you submit to him?”
Golden Cicada nodded in response.
“I see. It seems like the new leader is rather capable. He's so much stronger than Draco. Draco had been the
leader for so many years, but Southern Faction was still so much weaker than Northern Faction. There was no way
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe could do this. By the way, Golden Cicada, since you've already submitted to Southern Faction, you must've
brought along Spirit Stones from the storage in Northern Faction, right?” Speedy asked.
Golden Cicada nodded again.
It would be too embarrassing for him to tell Speedy that Zeke had taken all Spirit Stones from Northern Faction.
Speedy was filled with excitement when he said, “That's excellent! Coincidentally, Southern Faction Legion lacks
Spirit Stones. Quick! I want to check out the Spirit Stone storage.”
With that, Speedy wanted to enter the Spirit Stone storage in the cave.
Draco panicked and instinctively stood in front of Speedy to stop him in his tracks.
“Speedy, please hold on. You can't enter the cave,” Draco said.
Annoyed, Speedy asked, “Why not?”
“Well... Uh... The cave is full of traps. If you go in now, you might get caught off guard. Let's wait for the new
leader's arrival. I think it's safer to have him lead the way,” Draco replied. Mr. Williams isn't ready to give these
Spirit Stones to Legion! If Mr. Williams finds out that Speedy has taken them, Mr. Williams is going to punish us!
In a cold tone, Speedy said, “Traps? Do you think your traps are able to do any harm to me? They're merely cheap
tricks! Step aside, will you? I'm going in.”
