System vs Rebirth
chapter-560

"!!!" The masked man was shocked when he heard that information. He didn't know who the person was, but it was clear that she had helped him.

However, what made him believe her the most was when she answered his doubt after that statement.

"Hurry up and go. The Countess has sent me to help you to make sure the goods have been delivered. But since the situation has become like this, it's better to send the message instead of the book."

The voice was small, but it was clear enough for the masked man.

He understood the real intention of this person. It seemed that the Countess knew there would be another ambush. No, she might not be certain, but she certainly had some suspicion. That was why she sent this mysterious person to confirm the goods.

Only the Countess knew about their agreement, so the fact that she knew about the agreement meant they were on the same side.

In that case, the masked man had no choice but to abandon everything and use all his abilities in order to escape from the pursuit.

At the very least, he should let the Third Prince know that the book had been stolen by the two nobles.

Yes, there might be a possibility that the news was fake. But after confirming that the mysterious person came from the Countess, the other person should know about their identities. After all, Countess Christina had been facing the two nobles for so long. So, there should be a lot of information about the two nobles.

That was why the masked man hurriedly ran away as quickly as possible. He didn't know the condition of that mysterious figure.

His only thought was to survive and relay the information.

Unfortunately, the experts also managed to catch up to him and the mysterious person kept distracting them.

In the end, the mysterious figure had to leave since they were near the city. It should be enough for the masked man to remain alive.

And she led one Spirit Master and a few Spirit Wielders, which soon died under her hand.

But for the time being, the information had been delivered.

…

In the end, the people under Count Leinberd and Marquis Walford had to leave after finding their people dead. They were angry, but they had priority.

They didn't realize that the mysterious person was watching them from a distance the whole time.

She was sitting on a tree while letting out a long sigh. She took off the hood, revealing her blond hair.

Yes, she was Anna.

"This is truly hard…" Anna took a deep breath, trying to recover her Spiritual Energy. As expected, it was a bit hard for her to take down these people. Of course, she wasn't alone this time.

She glanced at five women on the ground. They were the elite teams from the brothel that Harley had lent her in order to complete the task.

"Thank you for helping me," said Anna while jumping off the tree. "The enemy has retreated, so we should go to Count Leinberd's city after recovering our Spiritual Energy."

"Understood." They nodded, acknowledging Anna's instruction. Although they were loyal to Harley, the latter had told them to obey Anna since her ability was within Noel's plan. So, they had to obey her.

Anna nodded while looking at the distance. "The second phase has been completed. I guess it's time for the third phase. Time to make everyone the culprit."

Of course, they also sent a letter to Illia, confirming the situation.

As soon as she received their letter, Illia couldn't help but smile.

The manager understood the meaning of that smile and said, "It seems the plan is a success…"

"You know about the plan?" Illia narrowed her eyes. On the one hand, she had never told her about the plan. On the other hand, the manager should be smart enough to guess it. After all, the manager was the one in charge of the brothel branch, so they had to be at least that smart for an espionage organization.

"I don't know about the plan. But seeing your smile alone is enough for me to know that the plan must have gone according to the plan."

"…" Illia fell silent for a moment. It seemed that she had lowered her guard because she was in the brothel. She shook her head and returned to her poker face before saying, "Anyway, I want you to spread some information."

"Understood." She nodded with a serious expression.

"You should know this. The owner is trying to impress someone. So, if you do well in this operation, there is a chance that you will be able to go to the headquarters."

The manager smirked. As a manager, she obviously knew the privilege between the branches and the headquarters. Everyone dreamed of going there, so this was something she wouldn't miss.

"Understood. I shall work perfectly." The manager politely bowed to her and left the room to execute the plan.

Illia glanced at the paper on the manager's hand. It was the list of information that they wanted to spread.

She thought about it for a while before sighing. "One mistake might end up hitting our headquarters as well.

"So, there will be no promotion if there is a mistake since the headquarters might be destroyed and we have to build a new one."

Illia sighed. "To think that the owner didn't exaggerate the Ardagan Family a little bit. Everything is going according to his plan. And we have put the blame on the two nobles. The Third Prince will start destroying them.

"So, all we need to do is to ensure that the information will become blurry and the Supreme Devil Organization and the Third Prince will be confused by the information. Hence, no one can be blamed other than the two nobles."

Illia shook her head helplessly, wondering how Noel came up with this plan. But it seemed that working under him would allow them to prosper even more.

If Noel had been here, he would have seen the change in her affection for him.
