Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 220: On the way

”Follow us,” Esma ordered Ned, and he nodded and followed her wordlessly.

After Arabelʼs sudden disappearance and the appearance of Ned in her place in the form of Idan, a charming blond man, and the realization that it was really Ned, Esma and Irene, taking him with them, went to the place where the rest of Ireneʼs group were waiting for them.

With Arabel gone, Esma decided to just follow Irene, canceling her transformation.

”Who are they?” asked Irene, getting into the back seat of the car that the guards had prepared for her. She immediately realized that this Idan, whom Esma had named Ned, was similar to the one Arabel had summoned and named Bera.

Irene was still in a state of shock after seeing Bera turn into her exact copy.

”Theyʼre called Doppelgangers,” Esma replied, using her Soul Force so none of Ireneʼs guards could hear them. She then briefly brought Irene up to date on who these Doppelgangers were.

Esma, following the example of the couple, did not want to reveal their secrets to anyone without their consent. Doppelgangers, she realized, were one of those secrets. Thatʼs why she only told Idanʼs older sister, Irene.

When Irene found out about the existence of such creatures, she was pleasantly surprised. A desire to have the same creature as her contract flared up in her. Although she had heard about them from her brother and Arabel before, she hadnʼt given it much thought at the time and hadnʼt even imagined that it was possible to tame these amazing creatures.

Esma, seeing the desire in Ireneʼs eyes, just smiled. She herself had dreamed of such a unique creature as her contract. As Arabelʼs sister, she did not lose hope, and perhaps soon she will be able to fulfill this desire.

Two armored SUVs, following each other, drove out of Ireneʼs apartment and at high speed, turning on sirens and a special signal, moved towards the borders of the city in the direction from where the energy of madness emanated.

Idanʼs act caused a small commotion in the capital. The military declared a state of emergency and asked all civilians to stay in their homes. All services were put on high alert and began patrolling the city.

Esma watched the scene with great curiosity. It was a novelty for her to see such events. She was well aware that all these people were mere mortals, and she was amazed at the level of development they were able to achieve.

The SUVs reached the city border unhindered and, joining other vehicles, headed towards a distant fire that lit up the night sky.

Taking advantage of the moment, Irene used her Soul Force to ask Esma questions about her life and about the Valkyries. And Esma, without hiding anything, shared her knowledge as they drove.

Along the way, three more of the same vehicles joined Ireneʼs two SUVs, and the convoy of five identical armored SUVs continued on their way.

Upon reaching the road section, the convoy stopped, and everyone got out of the SUVs.

Esmaʼs gaze immediately attracted the statuesque beauties who got out of the SUV one by one. They were all tall and slender, with perfect proportions.

Esma, pouting slightly, looked at each of them curiously, and then turned her gaze to herself, and her mood noticeably soured.

”Leader!” all the beauties greeted Irene enthusiastically, and Esma noticed in their eyes a note of fanatical worship for Irene. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced suspiciously at Irene, who, noticing her gaze, simply smiled back.

”Who are they, Leader?” the beauties asked, noticing Esma and Ned, who was standing behind her.

”Iʼm Ireneʼs younger sister, Esma, nice to meet you!”—before Irene could say a word, Esma hurried to introduce herself first, smiling broadly and generally behaving like a teenager.

”Wow! The Leaderʼs younger sister,” the beauties were surprised and stared at her in awe, while Ireneʼs right eye twitched at Esmaʼs unexpected act.

”Whoʼs that?” one of the beauties asked, pointing at Ned in embarrassment.

”This is my doggie.” said Esma proudly, seeing how the beauties were interested in Idanʼs appearance in the image of a handsome man. This statement caused everyone, including Irene, to exclaim in surprise. Everyone turned their attention to Ned, waiting for his reaction to such a statement, but to everyoneʼs surprise, he did not show the slightest concern.

”Esma! Do you understand that Ned is now in the form of Idan, in which he registered as an awakened one?” Unable to stand Esmaʼs antics any longer, Irene asked the question through the Soul Force.

”Of course I know, donʼt worry, Irene,” replied Esma, realizing what she was doing.

Esma recently read how some people call their loyal subjects and servants loyal dogs. On the one hand, she wanted to repeat this, and on the other, she wanted to protect Ned from these beauties by passing him off as a simple servant.

So, thanks to Esma, Ned, that is, Ethan Goldwing, became her faithful dog. Many of the girls immediately lost interest in him, but some continued to steal glances at him. Seeing this, Esma cursed inwardly.

”Well, I tried.” she thought. As a caring sister, Esma wanted to distract the attention of the beauties from her younger sisterʼs boyfriend, but she did it in such an unusual way.

Besides Ireneʼs group, there were other groups from different Guilds, and they were all awakened ones called up by the military.

The rest of the way had to be covered on foot.

From the conversations, it was clear that everyone was curious about what had caused such a commotion.

All the awakened ones gathered felt a strange energy emanating from the distant fire.

Only three of them knew what, or more precisely, who, had caused this situation, but even they couldnʼt say exactly what had happened.

Ireneʼs group consisted exclusively of beautiful, slender and serious women. However, Ned, in the guise of handsome Idan, stood out from their background.

As for Ned himself, he didnʼt give a damn.

His master gave him a simple order: ”Follow Esmaʼs orders.” He didnʼt care about the rest.

Looking closely, Irene immediately noticed the representatives of all the famous Guilds, and this made her frown. She really wanted to scold her younger brother. No sooner had he returned than he began to attract the attention of all the influential people.

Even the members of the Titan Guild, the number one Guild, were here. However, it seems that not all the Guild leaders came in person, as Irene did.

Lately, Irene rarely appeared in public due to her pregnancy, and her sudden appearance caused a bit of a stir. She even noticed a few famous loners among the crowd who preferred to act without joining Guilds.

”Letʼs go!” commanded Irene, leaving her guards to keep an eye on the cars. Taking only the Awakened Ones from her Guild, she and her group headed towards the Flame Zone.

Like her, all the guilds were watching warily at first, trying to figure out who had come and who had not. It was only after that that they started moving towards the fire one by one.

In Ireneʼs group, Esma stood out especially among the tall and slender beauties with her height and long sea-green hair.

Ireneʼs guild was called ”Queens,” and all of its members truly epitomized that name with their appearance and behavior. However, Esma behaved like a spoiled teenager: she constantly turned her head, admiring the world around her. It was like she was a princess among all these Queens.

All the members of Ireneʼs guild, including herself, couldnʼt help but smile as they watched Esmaʼs behavior. For some reason, with the exception of Irene, everyone else in the group suddenly wanted to protect this ”little princess.” Unaware that behind this charming exterior was a real old being with a very strange mindset.

While the group was moving towards the Fire Zone, keeping some distance from the other groups, Esma and Ned suddenly stopped, attracting the attention of others.

The restriction that had been holding them back suddenly disappeared, and their rank rose from ”Silver” to ”Golden”.

Although this was not a breakthrough, but only the lifting of the restriction, the sudden change in rank did not attract the attention of others. However, their own group, who were closest to them, clearly sensed this unexpected event.

”What happened?” Irene asked Esma.

”Our rank has increased!” replied Esma, glancing at Ned and confirming that his rank had also increased. She conveyed her words to Irene through her Soul Force.

Irene frowned, not knowing that the rank of Esma and Ned was closely related to that of her brother and Arabel.

”Irene, originally our rank was higher than that of Idan and Sis. After the contract was signed, our rank was lowered to the same level as theirs,” Esma explained, seeing Ireneʼs confusion.

”Are you saying that Idan and Arabel have just raised their rank?!” asked Irene anxiously, using her Soul Force.

Esma nodded affirmatively, confirming her words.

Irene, upon seeing this nod, realized that her younger brother and future sister-in-law had just completed their Ascension Trial.
