System vs Rebirth

"…" Everyone was shocked because they couldn't understand what had just happened.

"This is…" Paul gasped and panicked. He hurriedly went to the Valley Master to check his condition.

Meanwhile, the butlers and the maids were shocked because they didn't know what to do with this situation.

"Master, Master!" His personal butler came to him and checked his condition. Without hesitation, he declared, "He's poisoned!"

"What?!" All the people were shocked, not understanding what had happened. They looked at each other with pale faces.

The butler glared at Noel and the others at first, but he said, "This must be the work of someone in the kitchen or the maids and butlers."

Noel and the others never touched anything before the last moment, so it was clear that there was a mole hiding in this place.

"This is…" Anna gasped, thinking, 'No way. Is this the reason why this place fell in my past life? The Valley Master was poisoned? And because Noel wasn't here, Paul and the others had to face both the demons and the Supreme Devil Organization.'

Anna realized that even if they had prepared, there were only two captains who would help us with this problem.

Even if they wanted to kill the Devil Bishop, it was impossible because they lacked one more person that could tilt the battle in their favor.

That was why Anna bit her lips, thinking they couldn't achieve anything in this situation.

"Kh." Anna tried to find a solution that only she knew.

The butler, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and shouted, "We need to bring him to his room right now and call the doctor."

"We'll help you bring him to his room and you can call the doctor," Paul suggested.

The butler thought for a moment and pointed at one butler. "You… lead them to the master room."

They didn't know what to do in this situation other than follow the head butler since he was closest to him.

The butler led the Demon Relief Squad to bring the Valley Master to his room while the head butler tried to find the doctor.

"What is this? How in the world does this happen?" Paul bit his lips, not knowing why there would be poison in his drink.

However, he soon remembered what Noel had told him about the mole. Back then, Noel suspected there was a mole among them who would call the Supreme Devil Organization. "Don't tell me…"

Paul looked at Noel and asked, "Are we going to be attacked now?"

"I'm afraid so." Noel nodded with a serious expression, confirming his doubt. Now that the Valley Master had fallen, no one would be able to stop him anymore.

"Noel. I'll be taking care of this, so you take care of the group. I know you're smart, so do everything you can right now! And we need to find a way to inform others."

As soon as he received the command from Paul, Noel immediately gave his instruction. "Who is in charge of sending the message?"

"Me. We have a small bomb that can release a bright light in the sky, so we'll use it to inform the people that we're in an emergency. I'll send them into the sky with my strength." Jonathan explained.

"In that case, Jonathan and Stella will inform them. However, not now."

"Not now?" Jonathan became confused. He thought it would be too late if they didn't inform them right away. But Noel ignored his reaction and said, "Rose and Ben will go to the wall and watch the movement. I'm afraid there will be demons from the north and people from the south. So, inform Jonathan right away after finding them and that's when you're sending the signal."

"But…" Jonathan wanted to argue, but it seemed Noel had another plan in his mind.

"Alright. We'll go straight away."

"What are we going to do then?" Anna asked with a serious expression.

"You'll be with me to do something." Noel had a reason for keeping Anna by his side. The only person who should 'kill' him was Anna, so it would be best if he kept her near him to see an opportunity to execute their plan.

"Anyway, that's the current instruction. I'm sure that the two captains standing by will know what they're supposed to do in this situation."

"Alright then. Let's go with this plan." Stella nodded and turned to Jonathan, signaling they had to go to prepare their item.

Rose and Ben also planned to leave, but Noel suddenly grabbed Rose's arm, stopping her.

"Noel?" Rose was confused since they were in a serious situation.

Noel made a determined smile as if assuring Rose that everything would be right. "Rose. I know that the situation doesn't seem like it, but I'll make sure that you can get your revenge today. But to do that, I need you to mark all the people who know about this poisoning incident."

"What are you—" Rose was completely dumbfounded, but Noel had let her go, asking her to go on her way.

Noel had turned around and dragged Anna to another place.

"Oi, Noel. What are you planning to do now?" Anna gritted her teeth. She never expected that they would be overwhelmed from both sides and had no chance to turn the situation around. "We're in a very dangerous situation. There is even a mole that we have to handle to make sure that nothing happens in this city. Do you understand what this means?"

"I know." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "You just have to stay by my side since this is a perfect chance for me to 'die.' Make sure you don't waste that chance."

She thought she had prepared for it, but she still felt a bit hurt to know she would be separated from Noel. They had done a lot of stuff together, so it was such a shame that they had to go separate ways from here.

"But we have a more important task. Now that the Valley Master can't do anything, how do we fight them, especially with the mole?"

Noel smirked and said, "Don't worry. Everything has been set up perfectly. All we need to do is to kill them."
