"Eh?"
"Eh?" Noel also had the same reaction, realizing that her target was actually the brothel.
Noel immediately pinched the bridge of his nose while saying, "I think we need to discuss this matter carefully. So, do you mind talking about it first?"
Anna glanced at Rose, who remained calm even after seeing her like this. She didn't know whether she could cooperate in this matter since she didn't know Noel's stance.
But it didn't hurt to talk about it.
"So, I'll tell you about my mission first." Anna took a deep breath before explaining, "My mission is to investigate the brothel.
"We have some suspicion that the brothel is involved with a certain noble who has a connection to the Supreme Devil Organization.
"Although our organization doesn't really handle the Supreme Devil Organization, we still handle the noble.
"So, because of this connection, I'm tasked to investigate the noble. And after knowing their relationship with the brothel, I decided to infiltrate the brothel first for that information.
"I'm not sure if you know about this, but the brothel has a certain reputation… According to my intel, it seems that the brothel is a front for a certain organization that specializes in espionage. I'm not sure which organization, but you get the idea.
"I'm planning to enter the brothel to get a hold of all the information." Anna finished her explanation with a smile as if everything was under her control. It was true that if the brothel was just a front, it would be good to get a hold of their information.
Not only would it be useful to be used against that noble, but the information should be massive enough to bring down more people.
So, investigating the brothel was something that Noel would recommend.
However, the problem was that the person running this brothel was none other than his father's former subordinate. Before confirming the person's intention, he didn't plan to take direct action against him.
Noel thought for a moment and shared his side of the story. "Alright. Hear me out first. The person in charge of that brothel is actually my father's former subordinate who is in charge of the espionage of the family… or that was what I heard.
"So, my objective was to visit the brothel and talk about rebuilding the family's information network.
"That was my objective before I learned about your mission. I also had some suspicion about him having some relationship with the noble and the Supreme Devil Organization. So, I'd like to take action at first…
"After all, there is a big difference between a subordinate and a former subordinate. The latter couldn't be controlled anymore, so they often switched sides.
"Though, after listening to you, I couldn't help but think of another possibility.
"He is my father's former subordinate. My father has been fighting the Supreme Devil Organization in the dark, so there is a possibility that he is actually in a covert operation to investigate the Supreme Devil Organization.
"He might be getting along with that noble in order to find out about them. That's why I'm wondering what I should do now."
"…" Anna fell silent. She never expected that her target was actually related to the Ardagan Family.
On the one hand, if she took action against this person, it might be seen as Anna trying to eradicate the remaining members of the Ardagan Family. On the other hand, she didn't want to cause more trouble for the Ardagan Family.
So, she also couldn't decide what to do.
"Hmm…" Both of them looked down, contemplating their choice.
Rose looked at both of them, wondering how these two could actually do the same thing. Their actions were in complete sync.
She couldn't help but ask herself, 'Are they in a relationship or something? The Stargaze Family hasn't done anything about Anna's fiance and the Ardagan Family has been destroyed before Noel could marry. There's no information about Noel's marriage partner as well.
'Considering their fathers are best friends and Noel's father is the one who controls everything behind the scene, there is actually no bad blood among them right now.
'In fact, I couldn't help but think their fathers actually want them to get together… By pitting them against each other, they will see each other very often. And after resolving the misunderstanding, their relationship might get better…'
Rose narrowed her eyes. She didn't know how much her prediction was true. In fact, she could be completely mistaken.
Either way, it didn't change the fact that Noel and Anna were in sync.
Rose couldn't help but ask, "Is there any reason why you shouldn't destroy the brothel?"
"Obviously. Since we're talking about an organization specializing in espionage, we can get a lot of information from them." Anna nodded with a serious expression.
"Yeah. If the other party is still on our side, we can take advantage of the information network to help us re-establish the family." Noel agreed with Anna.
"…" Rose shrugged. "Then, why don't you just get there and talk about it?"
"Hmm…" Noel suddenly fell silent. "I wanted to do that at first. After all, the other party was my father's subordinate. Just that fact alone made me wonder about his strength… If I go there carelessly, I might end up losing my life."
"Yeah. And I am a woman, I can infiltrate as one of the women there, but I've to learn about their layout and identities before going there. In other words, I won't go there for another five to seven days."
Noel and Anna looked at each other.
"So, you are saying you can enter there…" Noel narrowed his eyes.
"So, you are saying you can check their power…" Anna also narrowed her eyes.
It seemed both of them had the same plan in their mind. It turned out they needed each other to complete their own objective.
"You'll help me go there while I'll try to check their levels," Noel smirked.
"If they are allies, we can form cooperation. If they are enemies, I can sneak in with your information." Anna nodded in agreement as a smirk appeared on her face.
Suddenly, both of them said the same thing at the same time, "Then, hit the noble!"
