System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1320 Decisions

After getting engaged to Luke, Leysha ended up following him everywhere. Of course, it also meant she learned a lot of new things about the Ardagan family, the demons, and even the creation of the four kingdoms.

Of course, Luke became a monster in the business world. It didnʼt take too long for him to become the richest man in the Muivell Kingdom.

When the Supreme Devil Organization made a mess, Luke would come to fix everything in the pretense of charity.

After doing it for a long time, Lukeʼs name had become prestigious. Without them realizing it, his name had spread all over the kingdoms.

And there would be a person who would go with him every time. It was none other than Leysha.

They often got attacked by the Supreme Devil Organization, but their plan worked extremely well. Whenever Luke was about to leave, the organization sent assassins to kill them.

Of course, Silvester and Raven worked together in the shadows and killed them. Still, one or two people sometimes slipped past them and that was when Leysha came in.

By the time Luke reached 23 years old, he was finally blessed with a child with Leysha.

It was supposed to be a joyful experience, but something had gone wrong the moment Leysha was pregnant.

There was a fire outbreak inside the mansion, and this fire was not just any fire. It was Ardaganʼs black fire, which completely stunned Luke and Leysha.

”Whatʼs going on?” Leysha asked, extinguishing the fire with her ice. ”Kh. To think I would use 70% of my spiritual energy just to extinguish the fire… What is going on here, dear?”

Lukeʼs face was distorted. ”No way… Why? Why are you so cruel? Why canʼt you choose me? I wish to end everything so that my descendant doesnʼt have to suffer, but why would you choose my descendant instead of me?”

”Dear?” Leysha tilted her head in confusion.

”…” Luke bit his lips. ”I have told you about our familyʼs heirloom, right?”

Leysha nodded.

”There is one message that has been passed down from one generation to another. Only the head of the family is allowed to learn about this…” Luke clenched his fists. ”When there is a threat coming from the demons about to plague the entire world, the Ardagan sword will come back to life and choose the heir of the Ardagan family so that he can wield it to exterminate the demons.

”Our Ardagan family… can only give birth to a single child due to our bloodline. Thatʼs why weʼre doing our best to protect our child.

”If the bloodline is cut off, that means no one will be qualified to wield the Ardagan sword anymore, which will plunge the world into chaos.”

”What? Doesnʼt that mean…” Leysha gasped as she couldnʼt help but look at her own belly.

Luke nodded with a grim expression. ”Our child… is the one to bear such a heavy burden. Why?”

Luke was never greedy for the sword. His goal was to fight against the demons and the Supreme Devil Organization with or without Ardagan. And that was because he didnʼt want his descendants to bear such a heavy fate.

Yet fate played tricks on him.

…

Leysha blinked her eyes a few times, recalling the horror of that day.

Raven and Silvester looked at each other, while Milfa couldnʼt help but ask, ”So, Noel is the one bearing that fate. Is that the reason for his strength?”

”Yeah. We donʼt really want him to get involved in this, though.” Leysha let out a long sigh. ”After knowing about this cruel fate, in the end, we made 5 plans.

”After so long, I finally returned to the Ezenholm family. Even though it was shameless to ask, we asked my father to help Noel if he was in trouble. In fact, we asked him to take him as a refugee so that he didnʼt have to bear the burden.

”The second decision is regarding the approach. Even after trying our best, we know itʼs impossible to deal with the Supreme Devil Organization completely…

”Hence, we sided with the Third Prince just to take advantage of him in creating that time window for Noel to grow.

”You should already know the result of that decision…”

Milfa nodded. ”Your execution.”

”Yes. We never expected the Third Prince to win. However, thanks to that connection, we were able to send Noel to the Demon Banner Army, which should be able to protect him fair and square. And if anything happened…”

”Dimitri would act.” Milfa nodded.

”Yes. Thatʼs why the third decision was to have someone from the Demon Banner Army take care of him. Laufey ended up recommending Dimitri. Because of our new plan, Laufey had no choice but to infiltrate the Supreme Devil Organization.

”So as to not raise their suspicion, Laufey… suffered a lot. He even brainwashed himself to hate Noel…” Leysha clenched her fists as she couldnʼt help but recall the time when his tears were streaming down his cheek just to make himself hate Noel. ”Laufey gave one last present, which was Dimitri.

”He tricked Dimitri into going to the Ardagan family and ultimately became the butler of the family.

”Meanwhile, Laufey brought some inheritances of the Ardagan family to make the Supreme Devil Organization believe him. Due to the brainwashing, they wouldnʼt notice. However, Laufey… being Laufey… thereʼs no way he will create a plan without Noel having the solution to it.”

Milfa looked down. The first time she helped Noel was against Laufey. If he brought more people than that, he would have crushed Noel without the latter being able to fight back. When she looked at the incident this way, she realized Laufey was truly calculating everything.

”The fourth decision is the pillars of the family. Luke immediately reconstructed the family and built the pillars of the family, consisting of the most competent as well as the most loyal people, which would help Noel to rebuild the Ardagan family.”

Milfa could see how successful the plan was. Those pillars had truly become the backbone of the family. They were the reason for the family to grow this big in a short amount of time.

”As for the fifth decision…”
