System vs Rebirth

"To think my daughter would invite me to this place so that I can meet you…"

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock and immediately turned around, finding a middle-aged man sitting next to him. The middle-aged man had blond hair and a pair of purple eyes like Anna.

Although he'd never seen the marquis, he knew that there was only one person who would talk to him like that.

In other words, the man before him was none other than his father's best friend, Kevin Stargaze.

Noel didn't know how to act in a situation like this. On the one hand, he didn't know whether Kevin was still his father's best friend. On the other hand, he couldn't be rude to him either since he couldn't prove otherwise.

Kevin raised his hand as if he was trying to calm Noel down. "Don't worry. I'm here not as your enemy. I've heard from my daughter that you want to talk to me, so let's have a chat, shall we?"

Noel glanced to the side, wondering if there were people listening to their conversation.

But Kevin added, "Don't worry. It seems that you don't know about my reputation as well as my power. My title as an Arbiter is Fleeting. I can cause distortion so that it looks like we just sit next to each other for a short time despite talking for five minutes. So, you don't have to worry about the people around us."

"…" Noel bit his lips, never thinking that the gap between them was this big. Not only did he fail to recognize the Spiritual Energy Kevin used, but he also failed to feel the threat around him.

If Kevin wanted to kill him, he wouldn't know how he died.

Kevin looked at Noel with a smile as if he remembered something. "You truly look like Luke and Leysha. Your hair, brain, and eyes look like him. Your boldness is like Leysha's.

"Even when your father calls me his best friend, I'm only at the receiving end. That's why I'm here to talk to you. I wonder what you have prepared for me."
