Chapter 536: Arrival of subordinates
[Host, three subordinates have arrived in the Capital]
The system, which had been silent lately, suddenly became animated, reminding Arabel of the arrival of the three girls from the northern city of Rumbus.
This notification made Arabel think. She drew attention to the fact that the System has become less active lately and rarely gives them tasks. Usually, when Idan and she learned something new or heard about something interesting, the System almost always gave tasks related to it.
However, yesterday, when they decided to speak out against an organization abducting young women and received information about a mysterious armed group, the System did not react in any way and did not offer a single task related to this.
"Fine, they arrived on time," — Arabel said in her mind.
"System, ask them to come to this address," she said, and dictated the address of the building that Hailey had purchased and where they were going now.
On the way, Arabel contacted Esma through their contract and also gave her the address. She asked her to tell Irene and Arslan to come there if they wanted to return to the territory and see their son.
After taking a taxi to the right place, Arabel saw the building that would become a branch of their Guild.
The building Hailey had bought was more modest than the headquarters of the Red Fox Guild, which Arabel had personally visited. But in Arabelle’s opinion, it was perfect.
It was a new modern building with several floors and an underground level in case of emergencies. It was obvious that it had been built recently and specifically for sale to the Awakened.
"It’s just wonderful," Arabel Hailey praised for her choice. Hailey, of course, was very pleased to hear that Arabel appreciated her taste.
"The finishing of the upper floors has not yet been completed, but I have been assured that the construction will be completed in the next couple of weeks," Hailey said.
"Oh, even so?" said Arabel.
"Yes, the demand for this building was very high, so I had to invest all my savings and even ask Felicia for help. I think this building is perfect for a branch of your guild, mistress," Hailey replied. "And most importantly, with the help of the Awakened Ones’ identity, I have resolved all issues regarding all ownership documents, and the building can be said to already belong to you."
"You did a great job, Hailey," Arabel said.
"Think about it and tell me what you need, and I’ll try to get it for you if your desire is reasonable." Arabel decided to reward Hailey for her diligence and the contribution she has made since she started following them.
"Really? Thank you, Mistress," Hailey did not expect such a surprise and was very glad to get this chance. She immediately began to think about what to ask for.
Hailey knew that the couple had a mysterious ability that allowed them to obtain many amazing things. All of these items were unique, and it was impossible to find them not only in their world, but also in Junonia itself.
In comparison, the Rank 4 artifacts promised by the Beings of Light seemed insignificant.
While Arabel and Hayley were looking at the building, two SUVs pulled up behind them and parked. Ten young people got out of them.
Noticing them, Arabel and Hayley turned around and began to study the guests.
"Hmm... they’re all awakened," — Arabel remarked, being in the form of Elsa.
"Heh," — Hailey grinned, and then, turning to Arabel, said: "They are the ones who fought against the Beast Wave in the North with Master."
"Oh," — Arabel said, studying the newcomers carefully.
She expected to see only three girls, not ten young people.
Arabel used her Identification Eye to get a better look at them and extract information.
----------------------------------
**Identification:**
Name: Nico
Race: Human (Golden Rank)
Age: 19
Random information: A natural awakened one.
----------------------------------
One of the two Awakened groups was led by a young man with short black hair and a slender figure. He was followed by three other guys and two girls.
Three of them, two guys and one of the two girls, were Golden-ranked, while the other three were Silver-ranked.
----------------------------------
**Identification:**
Name
: IonaRace: Human (Golden Rank)
Age: 19
Random information: She has an affinity for the element of ice.
----------------------------------
The second group, consisting of four young Awakened Ones, was led by a girl with long black hair. All four of them were wearing the uniform of the Awakened Association. Besides the three girls, there was one guy among them.
All of them, with the exception of the girl leading the group, had the Silver rank of Awakened.
It was obvious that the group of two awakened ones were familiar with each other.
"Hmm, the affinity to the element of ice, right?" Arabel looked at the girl named Jonah with interest. "If she has an affinity for the element of Ice, then she is the owner of a Rare System. As far as I understand, this is the owner of a Rare System, whose System has oath allegiance to our System."
Arabel immediately considered making a second Ice Valkyrie out of her. But then she quickly discarded the idea, deciding to come back to this thought later, when she knew more about this girl.
Two groups approached Arabel and Hayley, looked at them carefully, and then began to look around, as if looking for someone.
"He’s not here," Arabel replied bluntly, immediately realizing who they were looking for.
"I was only waiting for three," Arabel said, looking at all the Awakened Ones. "Why did you bring the other seven with you?"
When Arabel asked this question, there was a lot of pressure coming from her. All the Awakened, except for Iona, who had a rare System, felt the obvious superiority of the girl standing in front of them.
Nico and the other Awakened Ones had never felt such a clear superiority over themselves before. Even the leaders of the organization they belonged to didn’t make that impression on them. They were once again convinced that their decision to come here today was the right one.
Iona and the other two girls, besides the pressure, felt submission from her. They could not understand why this was happening, unlike their Systems, which, thanks to the oath of allegiance, knew about the uniqueness of the Idan and Arabel System and the existence of two Hosts.
The three girls’ systems looked at Arabel in awe, recognizing her as the other half of the Paired Supreme System.
