Following the execution of Sion, he bribed Sion's subordinates to spread false news of Sion going "hunting."
Sion's predilections were well known not just to the city lord but also among the city's nobility, hence, to this day, no one suspects Sion's disappearance.
Golden placed one of the three masked knifemen in each of the groups belonging to Skes, Moxis, and Joel during the southern city selections.
His original plan was to eliminate these unstable elements during the selections, but this plan was thwarted by the fierce competitor named Hammer.

Thus, Golden decided to let them cause some trouble for the three families.
