System vs Rebirth Chapter 533 Unexpected Encounter

Tamworth.

A man was sitting in his office, looking at the report from his subordinates. “Hmm?”

“Hestia.” The man surprisingly let out a feminine voice as he was staring at the door as if calling the person that stood by in front of his room.

Despite being a male, he was actually wearing makeup. There was nothing wrong with a male putting on makeup, but this makeup actually made him look beautiful like a woman.

His skin was smooth and his gesture was gentle. He even put on a dress like a woman. If only his voice was one iota higher, one could easily mistake him for a woman. In fact, as long as he remained silent, no one would recognize him at all.

Hearing her name being called, a woman entered the room with a cold expression.

“Do you need anything, Ma’am?” The woman, wearing a maid uniform, asked while staring at this guy as if not bothered by his appearance.

“Who gave this report?” He asked, tossing the report.

Even though it was paper, it flew a few meters without being disturbed by the wind.

Eventually, it reached the maid’s hand. It took her a glance to recognize the writing. “This is from Lisette. If I’m not wrong, the person she accompanied last night came from Styxcanva.”

“Hmm…” The guy looked down, contemplating for a moment.

“Is there something wrong with this information?” The maid asked without a change of expression.

Unfortunately, she didn’t receive an answer as the guy had fallen into deep thought. After two minutes, the guy actually gave her an order. “I want you to tell the ladies to be on the lookout during our business hours… at least for one week to two weeks.”

“Is there something wrong? Is there any description so that we can keep the person out?”

“No.” The guy shook his head with a serious expression. “You shouldn’t chase away that guy. However, you shouldn’t let him in easily.”

“Huh?” The maid was confused.

The guy waved his hand. “Tell the girls to prepare for the ‘banquet.’ Remember, you have to be courteous to him.

“As for his description… I’m not very sure what kind of disguise he has right now. But apparently, he is going with a female friend, who comes from the Demon Banner Army.”

“…” The maid nodded. “I understand. In that case, I’ll tell them to find out information about the gate, especially about the people related to the Demon Banner Army.”

“Yeah. Do that.” The guy confirmed.

“Is there anything else?”

The guy pinched the bridge of his nose. “Hmm, how is the deal with the noble?”

“Everything works perfectly. I don’t understand your decision, Sir. If the Demon Banner Army knows about this, we’ll be in a bad position. So, why do you suggest holding a ‘banquet’ instead of assassination?”

“How long have you followed me?” The guy asked while narrowing his eyes.

“Two years.”

“Exactly. That’s why you don’t know much about this matter. For now, just follow my instructions and don’t ask. If the opportunity arrives, I’m going to teach you about the current matter.”

“I understand.” The maid nodded and immediately stepped back, stopping her curiosity. She immediately left the room to tell the others.

Meanwhile, the guy was letting out a long sigh, staring at the ceiling.

“Everything has gone far quicker than the prediction. It seems that I have to get involved soon…” The guy suddenly made an evil smile as if he was scheming something.

His expression darkened and his tone became deeper. “Oh, Young Master Noel. Why would you even come to this place? If you’re planning to visit me, then you should be prepared. After all, I’m going to give you a big present.”

…

After a long journey, Noel and Rose finally reached their destination, Tamworth.

Because this city was near the border, it was protected by a tall and robust wall. There was even a ditch that would stop the monster for some time. The wall was reinforced by Spirit Enchantment that would stop the monsters from destroying it with their own power.

It was a defensive city and this kind of city was spread all over the kingdom. Even the Water Lord had a similar protective measure.

When Noel looked at the wall, he couldn’t help but ask Rose, “By the way, do you feel anything weird from the outside?”

Noel looked a bit worried since they were going to the enemy’s den. They didn’t know whether Luke Ardagan’s former subordinate was still an ally or not. Even though Dimitri had told them to head here, Noel still raised the suspicion so that Rose would be vigilant.

“Hmm… Our destination is the brothel, right?” Rose asked.

“Yeah. We’re simply passing by to confirm his intention. After handling some matters and thinking about how to deal with the enemies, we’re going to head to the Countess’s city to talk about cooperation before visiting the Lelelei Fort, our original destination.” Noel nodded while explaining.

“Hmm…” Rose looked down, contemplating for a moment. “There is nothing visible from the outside. We have to check everyone’s expressions first…”

“I’ll leave that matter to you.” Noel nodded. They were about to enter the city as their turn to be checked by the city guard was two people away.

But the plan seemed to love to go sideways. It might be fate playing them.

After all, the one who was being checked suddenly raised her voice.

“What are you doing? I have given you everything. That’s all.”

This voice sounded extremely familiar to their ears. Rose and Noel couldn’t help but glance at each other.

“You’re not thinking the same person as I’m thinking… right?” Noel’s eyebrows twitched.

Rose gave a facepalm as the answer.

They both took another glance at that person, whose blonde hair was slightly coming out of her coat.

They were sure about it. This person was actually Anna. Who would have thought that they would actually meet in this city and in this situation?
