System vs Rebirth

Chapter 802

"Where are the tools?" A middle-aged man was staring at the construction of a big bridge not far from the city.

"I have asked my man to grab them from the shop, Sir." The butler that stormed Douglas's shop earlier reported.

He nodded with a serious expression. "All of his tools are excellent and he has all the perfect tools for everything. He even sells them at a low price. That's why we've been developing the city at a fast rate. How about the other projects?"

"They are steadily progressing."

"Good." The man looked at the paper in his hand. "There are a total of ten big projects and sixty smaller projects. We have to begin changing our tools to new ones."

"Of course. I'll definitely bring you all the tools, Sir."

"You're a good butler." The man nodded in approval.

But as he just acknowledged him, a huge problem occurred. The man, who the butler sent earlier, had returned. He appeared to be rushing and without the carriage that was supposed to bring the tools.

"Report… Bad news!" The guy shouted while panting.

"How rude of you? Don't you know you're in the presence of the Count?" The butler hurriedly shouted, glaring at him.

However, the Count was more focused on the bad news and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I…" The guy hesitated for a moment before reporting what he saw. "I've gone to the shop, but… he has disappeared."

"What?" The Count and the butler were dumbstruck. The Count asked, "What did you say? He left the city?"

"That's what most likely had happened. When I reached the store, all the items had disappeared. I investigated a bit more, but there was no sign of him living there anymore. All the clothes and other necessities had disappeared. Only…" The guy took out a piece of paper that had been folded neatly. It didn't seem the guy had seen it because there was "For the Count" written on it.

The Count hurriedly grabbed the paper and read what he had left.

'It's time for me to go. This is how I'm going to repay what you've done to me… especially that butler. Have a good day.'

It was a simple but powerful message.

The Count understood that Douglas had left the city. And the butler might be the reason for it.
