Chapter 605 Target?
Noel closed his eyes for a moment and said, "Uncle… Is it possible for you to reveal anything to me?"
"If you are talking about your father's location, I know where, but I don't think I can tell you. They are alive and well… That's for sure. But that's the extent of it."
"If you want to ask me about his plan, it's better for you to figure it out yourself. After all, the situation might change if I tell you about it."
"If it's about my daughter's hand in marriage, you are the only one who can change my daughter for the better. So, ask her instead. I agree if she agrees."
"But if you want to know about the Supreme Devil Organization, all I can say is that I'm going to cooperate fully, especially this time. The Plant Lord is preparing something. I don't know what it is, but I know that it will be able to cause a lot of problems for two Spirit Grandmasters. The rest shall be handled by the demons…"
"Huh?" Noel's eyebrows twitched as if he had just heard something disturbing. "I think I misheard it…"
"Haha." There was no need for Noel to continue. The marquis added, "To be honest, I have been planning to change my daughter. She has been brainwashed by her teacher and the royal family. It is perfect to become a cover, but there's no way I want my daughter to be that way forever.
"I knew that you were going to know the truth and find me eventually. At first, I thought about allowing you to reform her. As long as she didn't die, I could let you do whatever you wanted with her. After all, you were the most affected by the entire scheme.
"Though, I don't know when it started, but it seems that you have managed to reform her… Maybe after joining the Demon Banner Army? Either way, I'm grateful for what you've done. As for what I mean… To be fair, I don't really care who she is going to end up with. Even if she's going to marry a commoner, I'll allow it. I simply have to beat her husband and train him to become someone who won't be underestimated. So, you don't have to worry or misinterpret my words."
"…" Noel was speechless, but after that explanation, there was no need to talk about it anymore.
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose first and asked, "Before that, how do you know me?"
"I was involved in the creation of that mask. To be precise, the one who created that mask was my acquaintance… So, your father created that mask through my connection."
"I guess it's impossible for me to know about the whole truth and scheme. There is one last question before returning to the topic. How far are you planning to go?"
Kevin's expression suddenly changed. "Until the Supreme Devil Organization disappears from this world."
'There is no shred of doubt in that statement…' Noel gasped inwardly. He turned serious and said, "Since I have got the confirmation, let's return to the matter at hand. May I know what you are going to do with the current matter?"
"To be honest, I can't really do much in the current situation. If someone knows me making a move, the royal family will take advantage of it to do something to me, Anna, or even my family.
"So, I'm planning to sabotage them in one way or another while I'm here. Instead of my plan, I should be the one asking you. If you get my cooperation after understanding my circ.u.mstances, what do you want me to do?"
Noel looked down for a moment, contemplating. The circ.u.mstances made him adjust his plan a bit.
After two minutes, Noel said, "What if we allow him to do whatever he wants?"
"Hmm?" Kevin narrowed his eyes. "So, you're saying that we should walk into traps?"
"Yes. No matter what, it's hard to prove his involvement with the Supreme Devil Organization. Or do you have any evidence to prove it?"
"No." Kevin shook his head.
"Exactly. Instead of prosecuting him or sabotaging him, we should let him expose himself." Noel smiled.
"Hmm? But how are you planning to do that?"
"Septa is going to cooperate with me. He is going to watch over the Plant Lord."
"Even so, the Plant Lord has reached the area before Septa. He might have hidden something before his arrival."
"That's why I'm there." Noel smirked. "If you think about it, the Demon Relief Squad was targeted back then because we foiled the organization's plan multiple times. The Demon Extermination Squad found this place and the Plant Lord came before anyone else… You should be able to see the connection, right?"
"So, the Plant Lord was the one recommending the Demon Relief Squad? I see… It seems that the organization is still planning to crush your squad…"
"Yes." Noel nodded. "That's why the entire squad shall become bait… No, I will become the bait."
"Hmm? You? Why not the entire squad? Are you sure they're targeting you?"
"The Plant Lord should be targeting the squad, but the organization might be targeting me." Noel raised his hand and formed a rune in front of him.
"Is this the rumored rune that everyone is talking about?"
"Yes. The organization, specifically my father's younger brother, should be able to figure out that Iadre is only an alias. After all, I've learned Runes far before anyone else.
"It won't be hard to see that I'm Noel. That's why I'm sure that they are planning to get me…"
Kevin fell silent. On the one hand, it felt like Noel was overestimating himself. On the other hand, he couldn't deny that possibility.
After all, Noel's uncle was indeed targeting the Ardagan Family for the sake of the inheritance. He wanted everything that the Ardagan Family's ancestors left behind. When he got his hand upon the inheritance, he was afraid that a new Spirit King would be born.
Kevin thought for a moment before asking with a serious expression. "What do you want me to do then?"
An evil smile appeared on Noel's face.
