System vs Rebirth

Chapter 494 Figuring Out The Situation

Anna sucked a cold breath. This was the first time she got a coded message from her father. It was hard to decipher it, but she was thankful to both Noel and her father.

After all, Noel had been teaching her a lot through experiences while her father actually supported her.

This also showed that her father had trusted her enough to handle this conspiracy.

ʼAnd with this coded message, I finally know what my fatherʼs stance is. It seems that my father and Noelʼs father are truly best friends. Even in this situation, theyʼre still working together.

ʼBut because of the circumstances, none of them can make their move right now. Noelʼs father is hoping for Noel to be able to decipher the situation and move toward the goal.

ʼMeanwhile, my father has never given me any trust because of my actions in the past. I was too immature and would continue to live in that bubble for the rest of my life if I didnʼt get a second chance through rebirth.

ʼAnd with this letter, my father has shown me that Iʼm trustworthy to be his hand that stretches all over the kingdom. He finally allows me to participate in this grand scheme.ʼ

Anna couldnʼt help but smile. She never got involved with her fatherʼs plan because she was brainwashed by her teacher.

If she had gone through this in her past life, she might be able to get along with Noel. In fact, the reason why Noel never killed her was probably that she was just a pawn in the grand scheme. And he was trying to change her to convert her.

When that happened, the royal family and the Supreme Devil Organization would be panicking because they lost one of their greatest pawns.

ʼIʼm happy that my father has involved me now, but the situation doesnʼt change. It seems Noel wonʼt be available for the time being. But the fact that heʼs leaving for more than three months, it means he wonʼt be there to discuss the update of the situation with me.

ʼDoes it mean weʼll ignore the next meeting and focus on the one six months away? Or does he want me to go to him during his vacation…ʼ

Anna was confused about Noelʼs intention. On the one hand, she had already got the information, so it was possible to track him. On the other hand, the one who gave this information was her father.

If it was only her strength alone, she doubted she could get this information, meaning she wouldnʼt know where Noel was going this time around.

ʼIf I know Noel correctly, he should be using this trip to get stronger. In other words, the aim of this trip is to reach the Spirit Master Level.

ʼIt seems I shouldnʼt go to him right now so that I can reach the Spirit Master Level as well. Wait a minute, I still remember that I have to tell him about the firebird demon that can strengthen his fire… Iʼm sure heʼs going there right now since his strength is enough to fight against a Spirit Master.

ʼI see.ʼ Anna nodded her head a few times. She was enjoying the time she took to connect all the dots to figure out Noelʼs plan.

Anna had to consider her mission as well.

ʼSpirit Master, huh. The Third Prince will make contact with him and give him a new mission. What happened when Noel reached the Spirit Master Level in my past life…ʼ

Anna recounted all the memories from her past life.

ʼThere are simply too many things that have changed from the past life. In the past, Noel would have to subjugate Kirika, who had caused the deaths of one thousand knights.

ʼWait a minute. That amount of demons… Iʼm afraid that the demons were related to the Count. In this life, the Supreme Devil Organization couldnʼt get the Count to set up the farm and Kirika to lead them.

ʼIn other words, this shouldnʼt happen in this life. Iʼm just afraid that the Supreme Devil Organization is trying to do something to them…ʼ

”!!!” Anna dropped her jaw when she realized something was wrong with the situation. ʼWait a minute. He shouldnʼt have left yet in the past life. If Iʼm not wrong, the normal schedule is still a few months away.

ʼIf thatʼs the case, what compels him to take this decision? Thereʼs no way the Demon Relief Group would have realized all this conspiracy, so this must be Noelʼs plan.

ʼSo…ʼ Anna paused for a moment and immediately grabbed the report about the previous event.

ʼThe Demon Hunting Squad was attacked by a huge number of demons. Then, there was the Demon Nest, the Supreme Devil Organizationʼs spy, and Noel going to the Demon Hunting Squadʼs base…ʼ

Anna was connecting all the dots before finally figuring out the situation.

ʼWait a minute. The Supreme Devil Organization was the one who forced him to make this decision. If thatʼs the case, he should have recognized that the Demon Relief Squad wasnʼt strong enough to take them on, so they had to go into hiding for the time being.

ʼIn other words, this trip…ʼ Annaʼs expression became serious. She had noticed the change in the Supreme Devil Organization.

The Demon Relief Squad, specifically Noel, had been in their way multiple times. They had lost a lot of people, including the Blood Berserker and another bishop that Anna wasnʼt aware of.

So, it wouldnʼt be strange for the Supreme Devil Organization to focus on wiping out the Demon Relief Squad first.

In the past life, the original and strong Demon Relief Squad were no more, so they didnʼt need to focus on them because Noel didnʼt trust that team completely.

Everything made sense in Annaʼs thoughts. In other words, further meeting with Noel would be dangerous because the Supreme Devil Organization and the Third Prince would be watching Noel.

She had to prepare herself too, since her power was needed for what was going to come.

ʼIt seems that I have to change my focus as well…ʼ
