System vs Rebirth

"See this? I hope you are not a vegetarian since I'm going to give you meat." Anna pointed at the toes. "Don't worry, Count. I'm sure I can help you digest everything. You shouldn't waste food, you know."

"You…" The Count was speechless. His body was shivering, realizing Anna was much more devilish than his imagination.

Anna suddenly stopped as if she remembered something. "Ah, right. I'm making soup. So, I should boil this first…"

Anna saw the Count's horrified expression. "Ah, do you not like soup? If that's the case, I can deep fry it. Or maybe you don't like this one?

"I'm good at cooking, you know. I can make you anything you want…" Anna thought for a moment and asked, "How about a meatball? Of course, I won't be using this as the filling…

"That's right. How about using your wife's eyeball?"

The Count gritted his teeth and shouted, "Have you thought about karma after doing all this? You're going to the deepest depth of hell!"

Anna tilted her head in confusion. "Well, I'll certainly go there."

She knew she would go there after dying from her past life alone. No matter what good thing she did during this life, she would have to atone for the mistakes of her past life.

Since she already knew she would go to the deepest layer of hell, nothing stopped her from doing all this.

Anna said, "Anyway, we're talking about your breakfast here. It doesn't seem like you like this. Then, how about I change the ingredients? How about using your son?"

The Count was shocked once again. He wanted to stop Anna, but the latter didn't pay him any attention as she walked toward the first son of Count Swirzel.

After seeing what happened to his mother, he panicked and started shouting, "What… What are you doing? Don't come here. Help me, Father, Mother! Help me! No, don't come here. Stay away! NOOOOOO—!"

The guy screamed at the top of his lungs. But before Anna reached him, the Count suddenly said, "Spin the handle of my desk twice and it will open a secret compartment. That's the location of the letter… Please spare my son."

If his hands and feet were free, he would have groveled on the ground, begging. However, this was the only thing he could do to stop Anna's madness.

"Well…" Anna stopped and walked away as if to grab it. It didn't take too long for her to return with the letter.

As soon as the Count confirmed it, he said, "Since you've got what you want, please spare us."

"Hmm, should I?" Anna tilted her head in confusion. "If I let you go, you might try to gather force to pressure my father."

"I won't do it. I swear I won't do it." The Count had had enough of this cruelty.

However, Anna added another possibility. "Or you can tell those people about this and attack me…"

"No, please. I just don't want to do anything with this anymore." The Count lowered his head.

"Well, I also haven't received the compensation since I have to submit it to the organization."

"I'll prepare the payment today and send it right away."

"…" Anna thought for a moment, glancing at the Count's defeated face. The answer came in the form of action as blood suddenly splattered on the Count's face, startling him.

"You?!" The Count looked at Anna in shock. The swing was fast and killed its target in an instant. And that target was none other than his wife. "What have you done? I'll do anything you want."

Anna shook her head. "Sadly, you can't be trusted. You should have known that after evading tax, fund embezzlement and even smuggling… Do you think I will just blindly trust you?"

"You—" The Count raised his voice, only to find Anna's sword planted on his heart. He widened his eyes, looking at the bloodied shirt. He couldn't even let out his last words before he died.

After killing him, Anna walked toward the Count's son and smirked evilly, scaring him. "Since the Count has passed away, you are going to be the next Count. That means you have full authority over the treasury now. So, you're going to pay, right?"

He couldn't give an answer because he was too afraid of her. Anna looked like a devil in human clothing. Even the devil might look cute compared to her.

"Right?" Anna asked again. "Also, you have to hide everything about this. Just tell people that the Count and his wife have decided to commit double suicide because their business is failing. If other people know or if you're planning to take revenge…"

Anna came closer to him, whispering in a chilling voice. "I'm going to show you something worse than this."

The son gulped down and furiously nodded his head.

It seemed Anna would get what she came here for from this guy. And there was no need to fear this person since her image had been planted in her mind.

For better or worse, Noel never saw this side of Anna when his parents were 'executed.' If he had seen something like this, his hatred would be on a whole different level.

Of course, Anna planned to do the same to Risha and Myzik to get the information they had. Unfortunately, they were professional. They had burned the letters unlike the Count who loved to store them so that they could be a weapon one day.

She could only get the statement from both of them and had to leave the city without evidence, except for that single letter.

After finishing her job, Anna let out a sigh, looked at the sky, and said, "To think it would drain me this much…"

Her body was shaking, not from excitement but from guilt. She had gone a different way in this life and it clashed with the darkness from her past life.

Her mental state was unstable. She just fell on her butt while clutching her head. "I have to go through more of this as long as I'm in the organization…"
