Apocalypse God Mode: Unlocked (Cecilia) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Everyone Has Their Own Secrets

Timothy had to admit that he still held a trace of bias toward Cecelia.

That bias mainly came from his doubts about where she learned about zombie levels and zombie crystals.

He had always felt that Cecelia was hiding many secrets and had never fully trusted them.

And he was the same.

Still, his trust in Cecelia was a little higher than Hendrick’s and Ryan’s.

But when it came time to distribute the crystals and Cecelia was skipped because she had no ability, it clearly showed that lingering distrust–and that he had never truly treated her as a full member of the

team.

To him, Cecelia was more like a reserve teammate.

Ivy was the real teammate who had gone through life–and–death situations with them.

But now Cecelia was saying she would take Ivy and Jerome and leave the team…

That gave Timothy a headache. In the end, he decided to just lay everything out.

He wanted to know where Cecelia had learned about zombie levels and crystals.

“Timothy is right.”

Hendrick narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Cecelia, as if trying to see through her. “The trust issue isn’t just about us not trusting you. It’s also about you not trusting us. Cecelia, the reason you told us about zombie levels and zombie crystals is because you needed us to get stronger. You needed a strong team to protect Ivy and yourself. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes.”

Cecelia didn’t hide it. She admitted it openly. “That was part of my goal. Mutated zombies aren’t easy to kill. You need a team to take down more of them and collect crystals so Ivy can level up. But you benefited from that too.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Ryan and scoffed. “Even he made it to level 3. And you’re telling me the biggest beneficiaries weren’t you? As for my secrets…”

She paused and looked at Timothy and Hendrick again. “Everyone has their own secrets. Whether I tell you or not, whether you believe me or not–that’s up to you. And I won’t deny that I never fully trusted you either. Because instead of waiting for your abilities to grow strong enough to protect Ivy, I’d rather become strong myself and protect her. Why should I rely on you and watch your attitudes!

“To put it bluntly, our relationship has always been mutual use. No one here is more noble than the other.

That left Timothy and the others completely speechless.

Even Ivy hadn’t expected Cecelia to put it so bluntly.

Looking at Timothy’s and the others‘ reactions, her feelings grew complicated.

They had tolerated Cecelia’s earlier behavior largely because of her healing ability.

And even after Cecelia made up for it later, she could still clearly see the wariness Timothy, Hendrick, and Ryan held toward her.

If a team couldn’t even maintain basic trust among its members, there was really no reason to stay.

Ivy sighed and looked at them. “Timothy, Cece isn’t wrong. I can feel that everyone’s attitude toward her

has improved, but you still don’t trust her the way you trust me. Cece is my sister. I’m not the same as you. She’s the only family I have left. So… I can only say I’m sorry to all of you.”

“Ivy!”

Ryan frowned, clearly unhappy. He even sounded a little anxious. “This is just about Jerome. It doesn’t have to escalate like this!”

He turned to Cecelia. “You just want me to apologize, right? Fine–I’ll apologize! This has nothing to do with Timothy or the others. I’m the one who never trusted you. I thought you’d fall back into your old ways and drag the whole team into trouble again.

“That’s why I didn’t like you. That’s why I refused to accept you. But if you’re willing to give up Jerome and stay in the team with Ivy this time, I’ll change my tune. From now on, you’re my sister too. I’ll call you Boss. Is that good enough?”

Cecelia’s mouth twitched. She looked at him and let out a cold laugh. “You’ve got some nerve dreaming that big. You really think you’re that important to me? An apology and a new nickname, and I’m supposed to change my mind because of you?”

“You-”

Ryan’s face flushed red with anger. He glared at her through clenched teeth. “I’m giving you a way out! Why are you so ungrateful? So what if you can kill a level 3 zombie by yourself? What if you run into a level 4 or level 5 zombie while you’re traveling with Ivy? How are you going to escape then? In the end, you’ll just get her killed!”
