Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 949: Maybe... maybe not.

”For the sake of your safety and the well-being of your guild members, ignore this call and donʼt go there.”

Arabel didnʼt say those words because she didnʼt want Rachel, Nathan, and the members of the Titan Guild to leave. Of course, their help made a huge contribution to the salvation of the inhabitants of the doomed cities.

In the few days that Rachel had been watching her, Arabel had also been watching everyone closely. She noticed that Rachel, Nathan, and most of the members of the Titan Guild were doing their jobs with maximum dedication.

They cooperated with her not only on Darkiaʼs orders, but also on their own, just like she did.

Knowing that beings from other worlds were behind the summoning of the Federation and the Association of the Awakened, Arabel understood that their goal was to control the locals and use them as tools to investigate Anomalies.

The power of the Anomalies was undeniable. Considering that the beasts had started flocking to them from the very first minutes of its appearance, Arabel suspected that powerful Platinum-ranked creatures were probably already living in the hearts of the Anomalies.

Based on this, going there now without reaching the Platinum rank would be akin to suicide.

”As someone connected to Darkia, you should understand who is behind this call from the Federation and the Awakened Association,” Arabel continued.

”Of course, the seeds of the law are a very rare and valuable resource that everyone wants.”

”And more importantly, itʼs the most valuable resource for Diamond-ranked creatures. And considering that our world has just entered the middle stage and none of the awakened ones have probably reached the Platinum rank yet, having passed the ascension trial, the chances of competing for the seeds of law with creatures from other worlds are almost zero.”

Arabelʼs words had a strong effect on Rachel, and she began to doubt.

Yes, she was familiar with the seeds of law thanks to Darkia, and it would be untrue to say that they did not arouse her interest.

Despite her strength and only a Golden rank, Rachel was confident in herself and in her husbandʼs strength.

She was also aware of the creatures from other worlds and how much they were superior to the inhabitants of Earth in strength.

However, for the sake of the planetʼs future, she was thinking of taking a chance and trying to get the seed of law.

Besides, she and her husband were not only the strongest heroes of the Federation and the most famous Awakened, but also the leaders of the most famous Guild. If they ignored the Federationʼs call, it could seriously damage their Guildʼs reputation and worsen their relationship with the Federation and the Association.

”I was right, wasnʼt I?” said Darkia with a wide smile, looking at Arabel.

”Yes, you were right,” — Arabel admitted. ”Why did you contact me this time?”

”Straight to the point again, huh?” Darkia made a displeased face.

Arabel frowned.

She noticed that Darkia had been showing more and more emotions lately.

”I wonder if sheʼs faking it or is she really experiencing something?” — Arabel thought about it.

But she immediately began to refute her thoughts.:

”Although itʼs unlikely, because sheʼs a System.”

”What if I just want to chat with you? To find out how youʼre doing, are you eating well?” asked Darkia.

”Stop joking, Darkia, I know you contacted me for a reason,” Arabel replied sharply. ”You already know everything about my condition.”

”But Arabel, knowing that is not the same as hearing it from yourself,” Darkia objected.

”This is the principle of trust.”

”I take it you still donʼt trust me?” asked Darkia.

”Yes, I donʼt trust you,” Arabel said bluntly, looking into Darkiaʼs dark eyes without fear.

”Tsch!” — Darkia clicked her tongue, and her expression turned cold.

”Okay, then letʼs get down to business,” Darkiaʼs playfulness disappeared, just as Arabel wanted.

Arabel felt a little uneasy when she saw this rapid change.

”Did I make a mistake?” A thought flashed through her mind.

As if reading her thoughts, a faint smile flashed across Darkiaʼs face, but it quickly disappeared.

”Iʼm offering a new deal,” she said.

”Whatʼs the deal?” asked Arabel.

”Iʼm offering to help you as my people, and in return, I want to get a share — a few seeds of the law,” Darkia explained.

”Didnʼt we already make an agreement earlier?” asked Arabel, frowning.

”Thatʼs different,” Darkia replied, shaking her head. ”This is a new deal, but the old one remains in force. My people will continue to help with the evacuation, regardless of whether you agree to the new agreement or not.”

Remembering Darkiaʼs warning about the imminent appearance of the seeds of law, Arabel immediately suspected that Darkia knew what lay ahead and was taking advantage of it.

”Do you know something about the future?” she couldnʼt help but ask.

”Maybe,” Darkia had her usual big smile on her face. ”Or maybe not.”

”Even if I knew, I see no reason to share this with someone who doesnʼt trust me,” she added.

Seeing that Arabel was silent and just looking at her, Darkia continued:

”I donʼt need your answer right now.”

”Think about it and discuss it with your husband and sisters. When you make a decision, contact me,” with these words, Darkia ended the conversation, leaving Arabel with a lot of questions.

”Okay, Iʼll follow your advice,” Rachel suddenly said after a long silence and deep thought.

Arabelʼs avatar, who was also aware of his real bodyʼs conversation with Darkia, thought that perhaps Darkia had influenced Rachelʼs decision.

But she quickly dismissed those thoughts.

The most important thing right now is the help of Rachel, her husband, and the members of her Guild.

”If youʼre worried about your Guildʼs reputation, then you can blame it on us,” Arabel suggested. ”Suggest something like our Guild is holding you back and not letting you go.”

Considering that her Guild Kingdom doesnʼt have the best relations with the Federation and the Association, a new conflict is unlikely to change their current difficult situation much.

”Are you sure?” asked Rachel.

”Yes,” Arabel nodded. ”Itʼs not that big of a problem for us.”

”Especially considering what weʼre going to do in the near future.”, — Arabel thought, but didnʼt voice those words.
