Chapter 496 A Deal

"Sir, you've got a guest." A middle-aged man entered the Water Lord's office. Due to the previous incident, the butler had changed into a newer one.

The Water Lord frowned and asked, "You might be new here, but you should know that I'm not accepting any guests easily, right?"

"Yes, Sir. However, she said that she is from the Demon Relief Squad and she wants me to give this to you." The middle-aged man handed the letter.

"Hmm?" The moment the butler mentioned the Demon Relief Squad, his expression turned grim. He immediately glanced at the letter and took a look at the content.

In that instant, he said, "I'm going to meet them tomorrow morning."

"Understood. I shall tell her about it." The butler nodded and started walking away.

But before he left, the Water Lord added, "Also, tell them to have a nice rest tonight."

"Yes, Sir."

When the butler left, the Water Lord looked at the ceiling as if he was overwhelmed by the content of the letter. He leaned on the chair and muttered, "Now I finally understand what happened back then."

Rose was also surprised by how easily the Water Lord agreed to the meeting. It seemed that Noel had predicted everything.

She was wondering what kind of letter he had given her. At first, she thought it would be Noel revealing his ident.i.ty, but there shouldn't be any matter left between Noel and the Water Lord.

Even though he helped him tremendously, it didn't change the fact that Noel had just done so according to his role as a member of the Demon Relief Squad.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get the answer.

Obviously, Noel kept it a secret until the next day when they met the Water Lord.

The next day.

They finally arrived at the Water Lord's office.

The three of them sat in front of each other. The Water Lord had a calm expression while observing the other two, especially Noel.

"Water Lord" Rose opened her mouth to melt the awkward atmosphere. "I believe this is the first time we meet officially like this. I'm Rose. The reason why I'm here is for"

Before Rose finished her words, the Water Lord waved his hand as if asking her to stop talking. He continued, "I know. I'm more surprised by the fact that I have been deceived by a kid right, Noel Ardagan?"

Rose's body shook as she turned to Noel, realizing that the content of the letter was actually his introduction.

However, her doubt was quickly resolved when the Water Lord handed them back the letter. "Still, how do you know that I need your help?"

Rose was confused and took a peek at the letter.

'I know you need help with your current project. I have the ability you need.'

She didn't find anything that could give away Noel's ident.i.ty other than the fact that the one sending the message was a part of the Demon Relief Squad.

Noel shrugged. "It's simple. The moment you see me that favorably the instant you know about my purification ability, I know that you need my ability. I don't know what kind of project you have, but I'm sure that I'm the only one you know that has the purification ability."

"" The Water Lord narrowed his eyes for a moment before giving up. "I can finally understand why your name is Ardagan. To be honest, I underestimated you."

"Well, thanks."

"Before I ask for your help, I want to know about your price."

[Mission: The Valley Master's Interest.]

[Description: The Valley Master requires your ability for his project. Help him.]

[Reward: Affection Medal.]

[Penalty: None.]

Noel shook his head. "I don't need any reward. Besides, I'm pretty sure you're already aware of my request."

"I guess so." The Water Lord nodded his head. Noel only had one request. He always wanted to re-establish his family.

The Water Lord closed his eyes for a moment before nodding his head. "Alright. I can help you with that."

Noel nodded.

"Wait a minute. If you don't know about what kind of project he is doing, how do you know we can fit it into our schedule? We have limited time, so" Rose frowned.

Instead of Noel, the Water Lord was the one to answer that question.

"Don't worry. It won't take longer than a week. I can a.s.sure you that." The Water Lord waved his hand. "In addition, I'll give you another reward. I know that you don't want anything, but I think you want to know about this information."

"Hoh?" Noel narrowed his eyes, wondering what kind of information he needed.

The Water Lord smiled. "It seems that you're under a lot of stress against the Supreme Devil Organization."

"" Noel and Rose became serious in that instant. Their gazes felt like they suspected him of being one of the people from the Supreme Devil Organization.

But he dispelled their doubts by saying, "I have been investigating the Tower a.s.sociation after that attack. Although it's only the beginning, I have found a few suspects."

On the one hand, the fact that the Supreme Devil Organization had some spies in the Tower a.s.sociation was a big thing, and their Demon Banner Army needed it. On the other hand, this was the Tower a.s.sociation's matter, not the Demon Banner Army.

Even if he gave them the information, he should be the one to solve this problem.

Still, it meant a lot for Noel since he planned to fight against the Supreme Devil Organization and the royal family.

So, Noel agreed without hesitation. "Alright. It's a deal."

"Great." The Water Lord smiled. "I know that you're on a tight schedule, so let's not waste any more seconds and start."

Noel nodded. "Alright. How about her?"

The Water Lord glanced at Rose for a moment before asking Noel, "Are you going to be responsible for her?"

"Yes," Noel answered without hesitation, showing his stance.

The Water Lord immediately stood up and led them to another place. He actually led them to the garden inside the castle, where he worked on his project.

It was separated by a giant double door.

With antic.i.p.ation in their hearts, they saw the Water Lord open the gate.

"Welcome."
