Chapter 2639It was all thanks to Zeke.
Draco was very grateful that the Southern Faction was conquered by Zeke. Otherwise, he would've
been trapped by Golden Cicada sooner or later.
Golden Cicada resentfully roared, “You can't touch me, Dragon King!”
“Hah. Even when you've lost, you still have the courage to say such a thing. Tell me why I can't touch
you, then.”
“Because I'm the leader of the Northern Faction! If you want to touch me, you must ask Legatus for
permission first! Only when you obtain his permission can you touch me! Otherwise, he'll punish you
with death!”
Draco couldn't help but chuckle. “Your own people captured you and delivered you to me. Right now,
you're nothing, yet you still unashamedly call yourself the Northern Faction's leader. How shameless.”
“Did you forget Legatus' words, Draco? He said before that he's the only one who can appoint and
dismiss the leader of the Northern and Southern Faction. I will remain as the Northern Faction's leader
as long as Legatus doesn't dismiss me from my position!”
Furrowing his eyebrows, Draco contemplated his words. Golden Cicada is right. Legatus did say
something like that in the past. If I kill him now, I'll piss Legatus off.
noveldramaJust as he was wondering what to do, a deep and authoritative voice exploded behind him. “Send him
to my room.” When the crowd turned back, they saw Zeke and the others had returned.
Draco promptly agreed, “As you wish, Mr. Williams.” He's back right on time. I'll just let him deal with
this troublesome jerk.
When Golden Cicada noticed Zeke, he was so spooked that he stiffened and shivered. If Master views
him as an enemy, this means he's as powerful as Master! I bet I'll suffer a fate worse than death if I fall
into his hands! D*mn it! Now, I think I'd rather die painlessly in Draco's hands earlier!
He didn't dare to resist Zeke, so he obediently followed the latter into the latter's room.
The moment he stepped into the room, he dropped to his knees in front of Zeke without hesitation.
“Please, spare me, Mr. Williams!”
Coldly, Zeke informed, “Relax. As long as you cooperate with me, I won't take your life.”
A sigh of relief slipped out of Golden Cicada's mouth. He was glad enough to be given a chance to live.
“Of course, Mr. Williams! I'll definitely cooperate!”
“Tell me everything you know about Erebus. How did you get to know him?”
Just as he was wondering what to do, a deep and authoritative voice exploded behind him. “Send him
to my room.”
Golden Cicada appeared confused. “Who's that? I don't know him.” “He's your master.”
“Oh, okay. Sure, I'll tell you everything. He suddenly appeared one day. When he showed up, he
wanted me to submit to him. At first, I was against it. But then he released multiple shadows and
inserted them into my subordinates' bodies, essentially controlling them. After that, he told my
subordinates to chop their heads off. The scene frightened me so much. Besides, he wanted to chop
off my head, so I had no choice but to submit to him. He was the one who told me to frame the deaths
of my Centuria on you guys and borrow the Northern Faction's strength to oppress the Southern
Faction.”
Zeke didn't care about any of the stuff Golden Cicada said.
The only thing he wanted to know about was Lacey.
Hence, he asked, “When you interacted with Erebus, did you notice a woman by his side? Or perhaps,
have you heard him mention one?”
Shaking his head, Golden Cicada responded, “Woman? No. He's always alone. Besides, I didn't talk
much with him, and he didn't mention any woman.”
