Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 134: New task and New problem

The unfortunate man was still screaming in pain, but no one rushed to his aid. Even the Guild staff did not consider it necessary to intervene. No one wanted to incur the displeasure of a Diamond-ranked being.

Eulalia called Sierra and the couple, and they all disappeared through the door leading to the rented rooms, leaving numerous onlookers discussing what had happened and wondering what would happen next.

As they walked to the rented rooms, the couple, to everyoneʼs surprise, remained silent, and both had a strange expression on their faces.

They couldnʼt find the words. The system has made its move again.

As soon as someone started talking about the fact that the guy who tried to stop them was a subordinate of the Staff Hero, the couple received a new task from the System. They were already a little used to the sudden messages from the System, but they still almost jumped when they heard what they were assigned.

[Ding! A task has been issued! Get your hands on one of the Sacred Weapons - the Sacred Staff. The reward for completing the task is unlocking the ability to make individual orders for forging weapons or armor through the ”Trade” function directly to the ”Supreme Blacksmith System”. Failure of the task – items related to the ”Supreme Blacksmith System” in the ”Trade” function will be blocked for purchase. The deadline for completing the task is 2 days!]

”System, — Idan said in a surprisingly calm voice, devoid of any emotion, ”do you realize that the task you assigned us is related to a person who has managed to reach the higher realms?”

[Host, the System understands this perfectly well. I recommend that you carefully study the contents of the assignment once again,] the System replied.

Idan opened the notification window and reviewed the contents of the task. Everything was exactly as he had expected, nothing new or unusual. The task was related to a Higher Realm being like Sierra and Milica.

Idan almost asked the System a question, but changed his mind at the last moment. He realized why the System found this task feasible. There was no direct indication in the terms of the task that the owner of the Sacred Weapon should be eliminated. The system, in fact, required them to obtain the Sacred Staff in any way. Theft, murder, exchange—all means were acceptable.

”This is the fifth ʼSupremeʼ system...” said Arabel, drawing attention to the name of the new ʼSupremeʼ system.

”I thought we could get some rest before the Reset, but it looks like we wonʼt be able to,” Idan said to Arabel as they entered the room Nemo had rented.

Nemo and Eulalia rented two rooms, one for men and the other for women. Both rooms were identical and designed for a group of four people with separate sleeping places. There was a shared living room, a bathroom, and even a restroom.

No one stood on ceremony, and everyone, having entered and found a comfortable place, settled down.: who is on a soft black sofa, who is on a chair next to the table, and who is in an armchair.

”Well, Iʼm not surprised...” Sierra broke the silence, looking at Eulalia.

Although she wasnʼt part of the group, she was still connected to them because of a small deal with the couple, and at the same time, she was curious to see what would happen next.

”Of course, Iʼve heard that the Staff Hero is a scoundrel, but this...” Eulalia had no words to express her shock.

Itʼs one thing that the Hero of the Staff failed to win the heart of her Master, but itʼs quite another that he takes out his anger on members of her race because he was rejected and almost castrated.

Eulalia was furious. She longed to strangle the Hero of the Staff, if she had enough strength.

Eulalia was not stupid and understood that she could not do it. And now that they had offended the Staff Hero by harming his subordinate, they had brought unnecessary trouble upon themselves.

”If you persist in saying that this is your fault, then I have to say that we are to blame for this. If we hadnʼt asked you both to come to this city, then none of this would have happened,” Idan added.

Nemo did not engage in polemics with his interlocutors. His thoughts were straightforward: Whatʼs done is done. Instead of looking for the culprits, you should think about how to proceed.

Sierra again preferred the role of a bystander, enjoying the unfolding action.

”And now what?” Eulalia asked.

”One thing is for sure: we have insulted the Staff Hero, and he will not leave it unanswered. Especially if he finds out that there was an elf among those who insulted him,” Idan expressed his opinion. ”However, as long as we are within these walls, we are safe.”

”Yes, but only if the Guild doesnʼt decide to expel us!” retorted Eulalia, doubting that the Guild would take sides in this conflict or remain neutral, as she claims.

After all, the incident happened at the Guild branch.

”Since weʼre going to have to deal with the Hero of the Staff, does that mean sheʼs going to be involved?” This particular question was addressed to Sierra.

Sierra, upon hearing Arabelʼs question, just smiled broadly and did not answer her question.

Although Sierraʼs smile did not please Arabel, her smile made it clear to her that she was right.

If the Staff Hero was already involved in this matter, then along with him would come another problem that Arabel was most eager to avoid.

She already had a bad impression of the other Valkyrie they had encountered today, and now this case, which would involve this problematic person.

Arabel stared at Idan without saying a word.

Idan, on the other hand, was lost in thought and didnʼt pay any attention to it.

The more Arabel thought about Sierraʼs words in the Forest of Doppelgangers, the more strange she felt. The air around her began to rapidly cool, and with it, her emotions became increasingly rigid and distant.

Sierra almost burst out laughing, watching the changes taking place with Arabel.

Arabel closed her eyes, trying to sort out her thoughts, which were starting to get confused. Then, opening her eyes and continuing to look at Idan, she said to herself:

”Let her come. Let her try. Whatever she does, heʼs mine!”
