System vs Rebirth

"Do you enjoy your second life?"

That question struck Anna's heart as she couldn't help but shiver in fear. She looked at the old man with a horrified expression. "You…"

The old man ignored her reaction and simply walked to the cave as though it wasn't important. He asked them, "You come all the way to this place to meet me, right? Are you going to enter?"

"…" They were confused. On the one hand, this would be their only chance to escape. On the other hand, there was completely nothing they could do once they followed him.

That was why Noel instantly made his decision. "You may stop here."

Even though he said those words, the first thing he did was actually step forward, following the old man. At the very least, he knew that the Affection Medal was not lying. Even if he entered, there was a high chance the old man wouldn't kill him.

Dimitri and Damian looked at each other. Dimitri had a clear conscience. Since he was here to protect his master, there was no way he was going to return. Meanwhile, Damian was interested in what it entailed. He had entered so deep that it would be a shame if he retreated.

Hence, both of them followed Noel into the cave.

The only one who remained confused was Nicole. She came here for the sake of Anna. Yet, Anna had a pale expression as if the old man was threatening her.

'Is he going to kill us?' Nicole muttered inwardly, thinking about the danger and Anna's reaction.

Little did she know, she completely misunderstood Anna's reaction.

Anna wasn't scared because the old man wanted to kill her. She was terrified because the old man knew about her secret.
