Levi wanted to avoid the possibility of a tragedy. Furthermore, he wanted to stop his men from fighting. Could it be an attack from Erudia’s soldiers? Whatever it is, I need to put a halt to it right now!
Besides, the Fiend’s forces were concealed in an elaborate hiding place. Until now, they had remained a secret. Of all times, why were the whereabouts leaked now? Something must have gone wrong.
“Master, the situation isn’t looking good. There was a traitor amidst us that leaked our whereabouts! It is all our fault!”
Along the journey, the Seven Fiends had already discovered the truth.
The concept of betrayal wasn’t something that Levi hadn’t experienced before.
One of his past experiences of betrayal occurred in Wildefield.
They were the ones who pushed Forlevia and the rest into the fire pit.
It was a grudge that Levi still harbored to this day.
Deep in the mountains located at the South of Erudia, a bloody battle occurred.
“Mr. Little, we were the ones who rescued you! Don’t forget to testify for us, alright? We will always be on your side instead of following Levi!” A small group had rescued Trenton and his men.
Trenton’s rescuers were the same men who betrayed the Seven Fiends and revealed the hiding place of the Fiend’s forces.
The reasons for their betrayal were simple.
Although the Seven Fiends had yielded to Levi, most of their subordinates were discontent with Levi’s rules. They were especially frustrated with the rules that prohibited them from murdering others and restricted their freedom. The unbearable constraints motivated them to betray the Seven Fiends.
When they followed Cyrus, he never tried to exert control over them.
On the contrary, he gave them their utmost freedom to do whatever they pleased. He even allowed them to go on a rampage in order to intimidate others.
Most importantly, he taught them an important value—only the fittest will survive.
During the Fiery Demon Era, they were not afraid to get their hands dirty and created a bad name for themselves.
Nevertheless, Levi was a stark contrast to Cyrus.
The audacity of Levi to ask us to discard our past selves. Everything about him is contradictory to our beliefs!
Although Levi’s extraordinary strength allowed him to subdue even The Cardinal Hall, countless people were dissatisfied with his leadership.
They yearned to return to their wild pasts and longed for their freedom. Hence, they did not want to follow Levi’s rule anymore.
After a brief discussion amongst themselves, they decided to betray Levi.
They rescued Trenton and his gang before revealing the location to ensure their safety in Erudia.
Finally, they left Erudia to seek shelter with the other followers of Fiery Demon overseas.
After Cyrus vanished, a portion of his group was forced into the harsh territory.
Another part of their group fled overseas. In foreign lands, the Fiends formed connections with several authoritative figures and founded an immense organization.
Their organization was later given the codename—Sacred Organization.
After fleeing overseas, the traitorous group wanted to rely on Sacred Organization.
After all, they wouldn’t have the guts to betray Levi if Sacred Organization didn’t exist.
“Don’t worry. You’ve saved us. It’s an act of gratitude that I will never forget,” Trenton reassured them.
Under Trenton’s protection, the traitors managed to flee successfully without any hitches in their plan.
By the time the others discovered their betrayal, they would have already made it overseas safely.
“Let’s go. We need to leave this place too!” Trenton waved his hand to signal Josephine and Yasmin to follow him. “Once I call for reinforcements, I will enact my revenge on Levi.”
Yet, they did not heed Trenton’s words. Instead, the duo remained rooted to the spot with hesitance.
“What? Are you hesitating? Have the two of you become Levi’s women? Did you forget that he’s a big demon? Why would you want to stay with him?” Trenton yelled in anger when he noticed their reluctance.
“Take them away!” Trenton ordered his men to forcibly capture Josephine and Yasmin.
Not long later, Levi and the Seven Fiends arrived at the scene to halt the battle.
Fortunately, they managed to keep the casualties to a bare minimum.
“Where are the traitors?” Levi demanded.
Immediately, the Seven Fiends exchanged looks between each other as an awkward look painted their faces.
“What’s the matter? Where are they?” Levi asked again.
“They’ve fled overseas to join Sacred Organization.”
“Sacred Organization? What on earth is that?” Levi turned to them with a look of burning curiosity.
“The existence of the organization itself is terrifying,” The Seven Fiends replied solemnly.
