System vs Rebirth

Chapter 385 News

While Noel was receiving his training from Dimitri, the rest of the Demon Relief Squad had just received heavy news from Rose.

”What did you say?!” Stella widened her eyes in shock. She couldnʼt believe what she had just heard. ”Noel died?”

Paul frowned as he asked to confirm it. ”Are you sure Anna killed Noel?”

Rose nodded while gritting her teeth. Her expression was filled with anguish and anger. If Anna had been here, she would have torn her into pieces.

Obviously, Clara had told them about the end of the Blood Berserker. She couldnʼt help but remember what Noel said about fulfilling her revenge.

”Iʼll fulfill your revenge even if it costs me my life.”

Noelʼs voice echoed in her ears, making her regret even more. She thought she had told him enough that Noel wouldnʼt do it, but it turned out she had to put on a leash on him to ensure Noel didnʼt do it.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Rose bit her lips. ”Yes. I personally saw it. Anna stabbed Noel with her sword and pushed him off the cliff.”

Jonathan, who had been Noelʼs mentor in Spiritual Energy Control, had some special attachments to Noel. He considered everything properly and muttered, ”In the normal condition, Noel wouldnʼt have a hard time landing on the bottom of the cliff. But if his body is stabbed by a sword, itʼs a different matter.”

”Where is Noelʼs corpse?” Clara asked.

”Iʼm sorry, Captain. After fleeing from those demons, I hurriedly checked the site. However, I could only see blood splattered in the area and ripped clothes.” Rose shook her head.

”What? His body has been eaten by the demons?” Stella roared while unsheathing her sword.

”What do you think youʼre doing, Stella?” Clara glared at her.

However, the rage in Stellaʼs heart overwhelmed her feelings toward Clara. She simply stated while emitting killing intent. ”Iʼm going to hunt her down and make her pay!”

”Stop it. This is my order as your Captain!”

”Captain. Canʼt you even see whatʼs going on here?” Stella bit her lips, standing in front of Clara as if she wanted to challenge her.

”I havenʼt bonded too much with him, so I donʼt have any special attachment to him. However, I canʼt deny the fact that a squad member has died. Thatʼs why you are going to stop here and I shall report this to the commander… personally!” Clara glared back.

As she said, she had never worked together with Noel, so she didnʼt have any attachment to him. That was why her opinion was colder than the rest since she also had to consider the Demon Relief Squad as a whole.

Besides, there was something in her mind that also caught her attention. Though, she didnʼt say it to the rest of the group due to the lack of proof.

*Knock!*

*Knock!*

Clara and the rest turned around, wondering who was coming to their room. However, the Water Lordʼs voice soon echoed through the door.

”Iʼm sorry, but I overheard your conversation. May I come in?”

Jonathan glanced at Clara, asking for her opinion. As soon as she gave the nod, Jonathan used his Telekinesis to open the door.

The Water Lord also had a troubled expression on his face, considering Noel had made a huge impact on his plan and him personally. Hence, it was a shame to know the person who piqued his interest died just like this.

”Is it true that Noel Ardagan has died?” The Water Lord entered while asking. He didnʼt get the answer, but their expressions confirmed it. ”I see…”

The Water Lord paused for a moment before explaining, ”The entire plan could work because of him. That was why I was planning to reward him more than anyone else here. However, I didnʼt expect him to die like this.

”Still, it doesnʼt change the fact that he has saved this place. Not only could I get rid of all the demons, but I also managed to eradicate the Supreme Devil Organization in my territory. I owed him.

”Although his noble family had fallen and his name wouldnʼt be remembered, I shall give him the status of ”Hero of the Silica Valley” to honor him.” The Water Lord sighed. ”If thereʼs a chance to prosecute Anna Stargaze for his death, you could contact me. I will do my best to help you.”

The Water Lord gave him the status so that his name would still be remembered by the people. This was the least he could do for Noel.

Though, he doubted anyone would try to prosecute Anna or the Stargaze Family upon his death. After all, Noelʼs status wasnʼt as high as his fatherʼs former status.

Clara nodded her head. ”Iʼm grateful that you do something like this, Water Lord.”

”No, itʼs something I should do.” The Water Lord waved his hand as if telling her it wasnʼt a big deal. ”What are you planning to do, Captain of the Demon Relief Squad?”

”Itʼs not something that the Water Lord has to be concerned about. We will simply continue our work, including fixing your land a little bit.”

”Well, if thatʼs what you like. Iʼve said everything I wanted to say, so Iʼll take my leave here.” The Water Lord politely nodded to them before leaving the room.

Clara pinched the bridge of her nose and said, ”Anyway, you all are to continue your work here for the land restoration. Meanwhile, Iʼll go back to the headquarters to discuss this matter with the commander.

”I think I have to remind you once again, especially Stella and Rose. I know that you are trying to avenge him, but I forbid you from doing it. This is an order. The matter between the Stargaze Family and the Ardagan Family is a complicated matter, so I have to consult with the commander first.

”Paul and Jonathan too… You are forbidden to do anything about this matter. Ben and Zion will keep an eye on them, understood?”

Clara gave them a cold gaze as if she didnʼt take ʼnoʼ for an answer.
