Riches and Bitches: I have a gate to an isekai and leveling-up system!

Chapter 326 Realm of supreme

The group of seven black cars rushed to our side, only to split up and then surround the entire scene.

The drivers knew their duty well, cutting off any angle of potential attack with the reinforced bodies of their vehicles, just in case the attackers still had some sort of hand left to play.

But by now...

"Damn man..." Makary muttered, finally dropping his high-alert mindset. He shook his head and dropped his chin a little before turning his face to steal a glance at me and Fay. "I kind of noticed it back in the forest, but you guys..."

Makary shook his head again.

"You guys really are something else," Makary shook his head again before finally raising his face right as the men started to jump out from the cars all around.

"Secure the area!"

"Watch the preimeter!"

"Platoons, split on a clock!"

Several shouts of military lingo followed as the men fanned out, covering every spot and angle they couldn't block with their cars.

"Wait a second," breaking the curse of her usual silence, Madam silently spoke up as her eyes widened. She took a step towards me and even reached out with her hand...

"That's why I'm always telling you not to travel light, you dumbass!"

A sudden, powerful voice filled the entire area.

It was so full of energy that it made me twitch, something no man on the other side of my portal managed to achieved below the level of monsters like Etaria or Madam.

And following the voice, a tall yet slim figure rushed right past my eyes with a storm of long, straight, golden hair flowing on the wind behind it.

Stay updated with empire

Pac.

Right to the side of me, the figure slammed into Makary, unbothered by any of his men around.

Stunned, I looked over at the driver... only to see him put up a brave yet clearly troubled face.

In the corners of his eyes, I could see faint sparks of fear.

"You dummy!" the golden-haired figure whined as she rubbed Makary's face right into her heavily exposed bosom, cradling him like some sort of delicate baby. "Do you have any idea how worried I was when I've heard the news of the attack?!"

I raised my hand and scratched a sudden itch that I felt behind my right ear.

"Ekhem... Excuse me?"

'Don't forget about it unless you want me to think about replacing your husband.'

This last part, I didn't say out loud. But to the best of my ability, I transmited it over with the fierce look I gave the woman.

After all, right now, replacing Makary... would be actually quite a lot of trouble. And while it was certainly possible...

Still, Selene's eyes flared up, indicating she was near instantly ready to go on a rampage...

"Guys, stop. Selene, that includes you!"

Makary's sharp shout set his wife down, even if only for the slightest of moments. Thankfully, that proved to be enough as in the very next second, Makary's arms wrapped around his wife's waist, holding her back and putting an end to any hopes she might harbor at assaulting me or Fay again.

"I'm sorry for that, she can get a little fierce at most random times..."

If it was a treat to see Makary cuddled up in Selene's boobs, then watching him act all troubled and borderline ashamed...

"It's fine," Fay took it on herself to step out. "But she should better watch her strength," Fay added as a vindictive look appeared in her soul as she drilled her eyes into Selene's face, "or I might forget to do the same."

If she said it an hour ago, Makary would likely disregard it as a merely an off-handed and meaningless comment, aiming at nothing more than banter.

But after the display of our abilities we just finished, the look he gave Fay and then carried over to my face was a lot more tense than I would expect it to be just an hour before.

"I will make sure to restrain her," Makary spoke, pretty obviously glad that the situation was getting back under his control...

"Restrain me?" Selene's eyes widened even further than before as she broke free from Makary's hold with a single twist of her hips. Then, before I could even force myself to believe she would do something so out of line, she rushed ahead, reaching with her hand for Fay yet again... and putting me at a loss.

For how I was supposed to salvage this mess?

Restrain her and risk Makary's ire if I did it too heavy-handedly? Limit my strength too far and then fail to deliver on the threat Fay just made? Or, the worst of all, leave it to Fay to do what she just proclaimed she would...?

"Sit your ass down, kid!"

Madam's voice was as calm and silent as usual, and yet, it rang so deep in my ears, it reached the very core of my soul.

Thankfully enough, the intent within Madam's voice wasn't directed at me, sparing me from falling down to such a defeated if not outright humiliated position.

Unable to even think about resisting, Selene simply slumped down directly on the road only to fall down on her ass and remain seated, just as ordered.

"You shall not raise a hand against my daughter, not now, not ever," Madam spoke again, upholding the strange nature of her words...

Only to then fully disregard both Makary and his wife as she turned and took two steps toward me.

"I'm quite certain you didn't notice yet..." she muttered, ignoring what just happened as she leaned over and looked closely at my chest while raising her hand to rub her chin.

"But you pretty much tapped into the realm of supreme."
