System vs Rebirth Chapter 368 Manipulation

Chapter 368 Manipulation

*Boom!*

The explosion stunned all people whether they were in the city or outside the city.

"This is…" A bald man observed the huge light in the sky with a serious expression before he shouted, "Let's do it! We shall conquer this city!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The Supreme Devil Organization had moved out. The Blood Berserker was releasing his bloodl.u.s.t to the surroundings as he became excited since he could kill so many people tonight.

Meanwhile, the other two captains who had been watching the city from afar frowned.

"This is… Shouldn't they have the bomb to give a signal? As for this ability, this looks like Jonathan wasting his Spiritual Energy…" Clara frowned, trying to understand their situation. "Still, it doesn't feel right… Even the Water Lord hasn't made his appearance even though the Superior Demon is about to reach the city."

It didn't take too long for Clara to realize something was wrong with their plan. She immediately jumped forward to a.s.sist them before feeling an ominous presence from the south.

"!!!" She turned her head around with a serious expression. "This is…"

Clara wasn't the only one making her move. After seeing that signal, Zion recognized it and said, "This is Jonathan's ability."

"Huh? Doesn't the Zero Squad have the signal bomb to use?"

"Yes. We should have one. That's why I don't understand why they waste their Spiritual Energy like this."

"Unless the situation is not going according to the plan."

"!!!" They became serious in an instant, knowing they had to help them as soon as possible.

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Sir."

Both of them hurriedly moved toward the city to help them before feeling the overwhelming pressure from the south like Clara.

When they turned around, they could see a group of people coming down the hill. The leader was a bald man who was emitting an extraordinary killing intent.

"A Devil Bishop…" Both Clara and Lucian stopped for a moment, thinking they had to stop them.

"Captain Lucian, it's not the time for you to make your move yet. We've called another Captain, so we can lure him first before taking his life." Zion stopped him, reminding his position as a Demon a.s.sa.s.sin Squad's leader.

"I know. I'm more concerned about the town's situation. Even at this time, the Water Lord hasn't come out to deal with the Superior Demon, so it's clear there is a problem with the Water Lord himself."

"Then are you planning to…"

"Yes. We'll stop the Superior Demon first while raising the soldiers' morale. After that, we will s.h.i.+ft our plan gradually depending on the situation."

"Understood. In that case, I'll go to my comrade to know about the situation before informing you about the change of plan."

"Let's go." Lucian accepted it and began to move toward the Superior Demon.

While the people outside the city were confused with the development, the people inside were panic-stricken. There were rumors about their city getting destroyed because the Water Lord had been poisoned.

However, they stopped for a moment when they saw the huge blue light in the sky.

"This is…"

The people were confused, but the one panicking right now was the members of the Supreme Devil Organization.

"What? Haven't we disposed of the signal bomb?"

"That's right. They shouldn't be able to inform them before it's too late. How did they do it?"

The people were trying to figure out the situation before another guy came in and shouted, "So, this is where you are. I'm a Devil Inspector under the Blood Berserker. What is happening right now?! Is there a change of plan?"

"We don't know either. We have disposed of their signal bomb."

"Tsk." The guy clicked his tongue and said, "Then, we have to change our plan. The bishop is besieged by two Captains of the Demon Banner Army right now. So, I need all of you to gather the remaining members to this place right away. I'm going to lead you out of this city to regroup with the rest."

"U…Understood!"

They nodded and dispersed to the area, trying to gather all their members.

Surprisingly, there were a total of one hundred people who had been spread in this city. They were disguised as farmers, shopkeepers and even butlers in the castle.

It was shocking because there were too many people infiltrating the city.

"Sir Inspector. We have gathered everyone here. Other than another Inspector who is currently dealing with the Water Lord, everyone has gathered here," said one of them who seemed to be their leader.

"Alright. Let's go." The guy nodded with a serious expression as he led them through a few alleys to sneak out of the city.

But suddenly, they stopped in a big alley, surrounded by buildings.

"Why did we stop?"

They became confused because the guy was supposed to lead them out of the city.

However, five shadows appeared on top of the building, surrounding them.

"This is…" They looked at those figures, not recognizing all of them.

"No, you're not from the organization!" One of them shouted, realizing they had walked into their trap.

"Leave some of them alive and kill the rest!" Noel's voice echoed in their ears.

The guy, who led them here, smiled as his body glitched a few times before the illusion disappeared, revealing a woman figure. She was Rose.

​ Meanwhile, those five above the buildings were none other than Noel and the rest of the group.

Rose's plan was to trick them and lure everyone to one place so that they could capture some of them. Meanwhile, Noel's plan was to make Rose realize her plan so that they could eliminate all of them.

Upon realizing it, Rose sent Stella to inform Noel about their plan and it was at that time Jonathan and Ben came back.

It turned out Noel had been manipulating them the whole time. Noel knew that the mole would remove their signal bomb and Ben would come back with Jonathan because they had to help Paul. The same applied to Rose and Stella, allowing them to regroup immediately.

It first started from when the Valley Master whispered something to Noel's ears.

He said, "There is going to be poison in my drink or probably in my gla.s.s since it's impossible for me not to notice poisonous liquid. I will distract everyone's attention while you remove the poison. I'll fake the entire situation to win this battle. I know you're smart, so you figure out the rest."

This was the message. The Valley Master knew there was a mole among his employee, but he didn't know who was the mole. Hence, he used this tactic to lure the mole out, which turned out to be the head butler.

And this was also the time Noel learned he had been holding back when making his plan this whole time.

'That's right. No wonder I'm not my father's match. All of my plans are about how I can solve the problems while my father always manipulates all the people around him to create a new problem that he can solve.

'In that case, instead of trying to solve the moles by finding them, I should have gathered them in one place so that they will be eliminated altogether.' Noel smirked as he waved his hand, shouting. "Kill them!"
