System vs Rebirth
chapter-707

Since the village was bad news, the group obviously had to remain in the city and group up with the rest.

"So, this is Wedell…" Noel looked around the town. It was bustling with people and he didn't find anything that made him sour. There were still some people who didn't even have a basic need, but their number was certainly far lower than all the cities he had seen.

He thought this city was better than he originally thought. Since this was a covert mission, there was a chance that the enemy was hiding some spies inside the town. So, all four groups had to stay in different inns.

The Demon Relief Squad was placed in the Go Goat Inn. It wasn't the best inn in the city, but they weren't that bad either. So, there was no complaint from the members of the squad.

They gathered in one room to discuss what they had to do.

Paul gave them a briefing. "Alright. Since we have arrived in this city, we'll be meeting the other groups tonight. Of course, all of us can't go. I can only bring one or two people with me. So, I guess Iadre and Rose will be with me."

Surprisingly, Noel raised his hand and said, "I'll pass this time. You should ask Ben to go with you. I have to meet some people in this city. Of course, I'm not talking about hidden schemes or anything. I just want to gather some information."

They looked at each other before Paul nodded, agreeing to Noel's decision. "Alright then. You are free to go anywhere. But if you get into any problem, make sure to tell us immediately."

"Got it." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

Since they had come to an agreement, Paul dismissed the group, telling them they could do whatever they wanted before the operation started.

Noel didn't waste any time. He headed straight to the place where he could get that information.

But people would surely misunderstand Noel when he visited this kind of place as soon as he arrived in the city.

Yes, the place he visited was none other than the brothel, specifically the Sleeping Flower Brothel.

The sun was about to set, so the brothel was ready to open. The women began to enter the brothel, preparing to take customers.

But since they hadn't officially opened, there was no one who came to Noel to persuade him to spend some time inside.

That was normal, and it was more convenient for him. After all, he could enter the brothel without any suspicion or judging stares.

But when he was about to take a step forward, someone suddenly hugged his right arm. A sweet perfume entered his nose and he felt the soft sensation wrapping his arms. A seductive voice whispered to him. "It seems Sir wants to visit us. Please don't hesitate to enter and pick me, I'll give you a good time."

Noel was startled, thinking there was a woman from the brothel that approached him. And since other women didn't even bother to look at him, he thought this person must be an influential person since she might know about his identity.

The woman didn't hesitate and dragged him inside the brothel. It seemed that she was trying to stop him from looking at her, but Noel noticed the familiar figure and hair. It didn't take too long for him to realize who she actually was.

"A—" As he was about to call her, the woman picked up the pace and finally dragged him inside.

She didn't hesitate to bring Noel to the receptionist, who was still cleaning the table. The receptionist obviously didn't recognize this woman, but the woman didn't do anything as though she was waiting for the man to do something.

Noel couldn't help but make an awkward smile while taking out a badge and putting it on top of the table. "Can I see the manager?"

It seemed the receptionist recognized the badge. She hurriedly grabbed it as if she was trying to prevent anyone from seeing it.

She dropped her mop and put on a big smile. She extended her hand to the side and said, "Please. I'll lead you to our VIP Room."

Noel nodded with a smile. Both of them followed the receptionist to the room on the highest floor. It was a wide room. But since this was a brothel, the bed was big and there were many decorations that could be used for a lot of things. He could even see some cabinets filled with tools and salves.

When the receptionist left the room after asking him to wait in this room, Noel finally sighed while glancing to the side. "So, what are you doing here, Anna?"

Anna stepped forward. Her hands were still hugging his arm. She looked at him with a playful smile. "Hehe. Do you think I don't know you're going to this brothel as soon as you arrive in the city? You told me that you're going to surprise me in six months, so I calculated that you'll visit this city, specifically the brothel, to get the information."

Noel shook his head in defeat. Anna had truly changed. One year ago, she wouldn't be able to see through him. But right now, she managed to move ahead of him.

"So, I'm wondering what kind of surprise you have for me." Her smirk was indirectly telling him that she wouldn't be surprised by something normal. Unless it was something beyond her imagination, she would surely be disappointed.

And it seemed that Noel had taken up the challenge.

"Before that, I wonder why you need to act like one of the women from the brothel." Noel suddenly dragged her to the sofa and put her down.

After that, he placed his hands next to her shoulders to prevent her from escaping.

Anna was startled. She raised her head and saw Noel's face approaching her from above. Her heart couldn't help but beat rapidly, remembering the time Dimitri sent her Noel's message that could easily be misunderstood.
