Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!-Chapter 228: Something interesting?

While everyone was busy watching the receding silhouette of the dragon-like creature, a rift suddenly opened in front of Irene and Esma. Coco jumped out of it, holding a photo in her paws. After landing on the ground, she placed the photo in front of Irene and, without giving them a chance to speak, jumped back into the rift and disappeared.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the attention was distracted, Irene picked up the photo and looked at it.

Her face immediately became serious when she saw what was in the photo.

The photo showed a fat young man with short black hair, and in front of him was a strange screen that showed Idan in his true form and Arabel in the image of Isabella White.

Looking at the photo, Irene immediately understood why her younger brother was so interested in a young man named Leopold Griffiths. She found out that he was awakened, and naturally awakened.

Now, looking at the photo, Irene agreed with her brother's opinion. She decided that finding out the identity and location of this Leopold should be the most important thing for her. And not only because her brother asked for it, but also because Irene also realized the unusual abilities of this young man.

"No, it can't be..." Irene muttered, suddenly remembering something incredible.

She remembered the news and rumors that over the past year, some hacker or awakened with a special ability had been blackmailing and extorting credits from rich people.

Many people tried to catch this extortionist. There were even requests to the Guilds to find him. And such a request even came to her Guild. But no matter how hard they tried, no one knew who it was, and no one even found any clues.

Even the "Eye of the Web" itself could not find him.

According to the "Eye of the Web", the extortionist uses the web, but skillfully disguises himself and does not violate the security of the web, because of which "she" cannot catch or find the intruder.

The compromising materials provided by the extortionist were all made by him, not through the web. Therefore, this extortionist did not leave any traces.

Remembering all this, Irene had a suspicion that this Leopold was the elusive credits extortionist from the rich.

A smile appeared on Irene's face. She couldn't even imagine what kind of gift her brother would give her. She understood the value of Leopold, and immediately realized her brother's intent.

Even she wanted to recruit Leopold into her Guild, despite the fact that he was a man, not a woman. All she needed was to provide him with a safe room. She didn't need to introduce him to others. The fewer people who know about his existence, the better for her and for Leopold himself.

But then Irene shook her head. No matter how much she wanted to attract Leopold to her, Idan was the first to notice him. Therefore, she decided not to involve Leopold in her Guild yet. Even if he joined her brother's Guild, she would still be able to use his services through her brother.

"Something interesting?" asked Esma, using her Soul Force. She came closer and also looked at Leopold's picture.

"Yes, indeed," Irene confirmed, showing the photo.

"Hey, Irene, — Esma said, without taking her eyes off the picture. "Don't you think Idan looks a little different in this photo?"

After hearing this remark from Esma, Irene also paid attention to her brother. Like Esma, she noticed a dramatic change in Idan's appearance. Only today she had seen him without disguise, and now, comparing Idan in the restaurant and Idan in the photo, she also noticed this change.

"Indeed," Irene agreed with Esma. "Could it be that his appearance has changed so much because of the increase in rank?"

"Well, no, one rank can't affect one's appearance that much," Esma objected.

Not only do the awakened improve their appearance as they level up, but the residents of Junonia also experience similar changes as they rank up. As a resident of Junonia, Esma knew this well. And even for her, such a drastic change in a person's appearance after being promoted by just one rank seemed incredible.

"Look at this! Flames..." With the creature's departure, the Flame Zone began to fade rapidly, revealing a scorched earth behind it.

"Let's go," Irene called to Esma, hiding the photo, and, joining the crowd, they headed deep into the scorched earth.

The destruction caused by the powerful release of energy was obvious. They looked like the aftermath of a long-range explosion. In the very center of the zone, traces of the creature and at least two people were found.

Everyone who could make out the silhouette on the creature's back was now convinced that it was not a figment of their imagination. They saw that there were indeed two people on the creature's back.

This riddle has become the most discussed and mysterious part of this sudden event. For everyone who was there, and not only, the main task was to find out the identity of the two people who disappeared riding a creature resembling a dragon.

***

Idan and Arabel, riding Ned, who had assumed the form of a wyvern, covered a short distance, landed, and waited for Coco to return.

As soon as Coco appeared, having completed her assignment, Idan immediately gave her the well-deserved reward, and she was over the moon with happiness and, munching on her second candy, happily returned to Arabel's arms.

After taking Coco, Ned took off again and headed north at full speed.

"Don't you wonder how someone like Leopold was able to survive his first transfer to Junonia?" asked Arabel, sitting in front of Idan and hugging Coco.

"Of course it's interesting," Idan replied, sitting in the back and gently hugging Arabel. Then he added, "I'm generally curious about how this whole process works for other System Hosts."

Idan and Arabel had just returned to their world the day before yesterday, and so far they hadn't fully understood exactly how the transfer to another world took place and what rules applied there.

"Let's not think about it for now. Get some rest," Idan said. Then, using the contract connection, he turned to Ned, "Ned, after a while, find a quiet and suitable place to set up camp."

Right now, Idan wanted nothing more than to rest and gain strength. And only after that, with clear thoughts, he was going to take stock of everything that had happened over the past evening.
