System vs Rebirth

Chapter 421 Arguments

The two squads had their own circumstances. Although the Demon Hunting Squad was a bit disappointing, they had just returned from their mission, so they didnʼt know what had happened to their base.

They thought their captain wanted them to solve this problem since he focused on the enemies ahead, but it seemed to be not the case.

The muscular guy couldnʼt help but fall silent this time, knowing it was better not to say anything right now. After all, there might be bad rumors spreading from this baronʼs mouth. Although he wasnʼt afraid of him, this city and their headquarters had a good relationship. So, it wouldnʼt be wise to provoke him.

”Hu…” The guy took a deep breath as if rethinking the situation. He then said, ”I know that you want us to focus on those two nests, but we couldnʼt really allow your soldiers to go there without any trump card.

”Weʼll leave one of our fighters with your soldiers. This way, there is a Spirit Master in your army, and you, a peak Spirit Master, should be able to protect the city in case something goes wrong.”

The baron, Paul, and the rest of the Demon Relief Squad were startled to see how fast the guy calmed down and looked at the bigger picture. They thought he was all brawl and no brain, but it seemed they were wrong.

The baron paused for a moment before agreeing to his suggestion. ”Alright. Letʼs do it that way. Though, are you sure you can hunt these demons without this one member?”

”You donʼt have to worry about us. Weʼll have to look at the condition of the nest first before making some adjustments. In any case, weʼre capable of stopping multiple Peak Level Demons if necessary.”

The baron then suggested another thing. ”If thatʼs the case, can you, the Demon Relief Squad send someone to help them?”

Paul frowned. Although he didnʼt mind sending one of them to their squad, he didnʼt know whether this guy was a reliable leader or not.

Still, the baron had asked him personally. It would be bad if he rejected it instantly.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the guy simply shook his head. ”Thereʼs no need for that, Sir Baron. We have enough personnel to complete our tasks. The Demon Relief Squad is not a fighting squad like us, so our combat ability is stronger than theirs. Even if weʼre lacking one member, we are still stronger.”

”…” Paul and the others took their words back. Even if he became rational, the guy really loved to look down on other people.

At the very least, he seemed to have a cool head when making an important decision. So, the baron agreed. ”Alright. In that case, Iʼll be relying on both of you. If you need any reinforcement, immediately inform the soldiers on the gate with this…”

The baron took out two insignia from his pockets. From its look, it was clear the insignia was his family crest.

They could immediately alert the soldiers if they needed to.

Both leaders took the insignia. Instead of leaving, Paul asked, ”Do you mind if we take another look at this map? We want to check the supply route and see if thereʼs something that needs to be fixed.”

”Sure. Iʼll leave you here. If you need anything, Iʼll let my butler stay on the outside. So, notify him.” The baron nodded.

Since there was no more request, he turned around and walked away, leaving these two groups inside.

In that instant, the tension rose as they glared at each other again.

”The Demon Hunting Squad will take care of the demons. You guys from the Demon Relief Squad can just fix the bridge.” The muscular guy didnʼt hesitate to throw a mockery toward Paulʼs squad.

However, Paul didnʼt let it go just like that. He didnʼt care if the others smeared his reputation, but it was better if they didnʼt insult his people.

”As expected of the Demon Hunting Squad, all you can think of is hunting the demons like hunting dogs. Should I call you a dog instead? Come here, doggo…” Paul smirked.

Both of them narrowed their eyes. If they werenʼt in the mansion, they would have fought each other.

”Hmph. Theyʼre just a bunch of cowards. Just look at them, wearing something neat and even putting on some makeup. I bet they never hunt demons.” A short-haired woman snorted. She had a long scar from her left eyebrow to her left cheek, increasing her fierceness. If one dared to approach her, she would have shown them what it meant to be dominated.

However, this woman also looked at Noel, who hid his face with the masquerade. At one glance, she knew Noel was handsome as long as he took off that mask.

But that feminine-looking Noel was something she hated the most. She laughed, ”They even bring a baby here. How about becoming a boy first before going on a mission?”

Rose couldnʼt let go of that remark. She gritted her teeth and released her Spiritual Energy.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind their new guy, trying to capture him.

As if feeling its presence, the short-haired womanʼs eyes flashed as she turned around, punching the figure in the face, only to realize it was just an illusion.

In that instant, Paul and the Demon Hunting Squadʼs Vice Captain released their punch while the others also unsheathed their weapons, pointing them at their enemy.

It only took them a moment for the tension to collapse.

However, there was one person who didnʼt get marked at all due to the difference in number and experience. It was none other than Noel.

Noel was standing between them with a smile. There were two runes next to him. The right one released twelve chains that locked the peopleʼs wrists, while the other was the Hardening Rune that strengthened the chains.

Noel said with a gentle smile as if trying to de-escalate the situation. ”Alright. Letʼs stop here, shall we?”
