God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

LIke Keith had expected, the mass of flesh did not come back to life and nor did it regenerate. He thought for a bit and sent the burnt body to Clara's spatial dimension instead of his own as he could not tell whether Ken was trying to fake his death or not.

'Her dimension is empty so it's better to send him there. I can still keep an eye on him, so it's not much of a problem.' he thought as he turned around and looked at the family that was standing behind the cover of a thick tree.

His gaze then moved towards the direction in which Brandon and Edward and rushed to as he got their systems popped up in front him.

All the information lay bare for him as he read through the contents, 'They're cleaning things up so I'll stay here and see what to do with these people.'

The two system screens disappeared and in their place, appeared seven. Two for the concubines and five for the kids.

Keith silently gave a command to his partially sentient system, "Compile all the information regarding their involvement in illegal things with Clangson."

[Affermative... information compiled. Time taken: 1.45 seconds.]

The seven screens in front of him disappeared and only one large screen appeared instead. As he walked towards the family, he silently read through the contents and a frown appeared on his face.

'Both the concubines were involved and so was Clangson's eldest son... the four kids are innocent, but with their dead father's history, there's no way they'll be able to keep the title of baronet anymore. Well, not like it matters to me.' he thought as he halted in front of them.

"I'll take you guys for interrogation, so I hope you answer truthfully. Just so you know, I have an artifact that can tell if someone is lying or not and if you do lie, then your punishment will just become more severe. If you want proof, let me ask you something." he said and glanced at the eldest daughter.

"You slept around with a Count's son, didn't you?"

The girl frowned and shook her head, "No way, I didn't! He tried to force himself on me in one of his parties and I ran away. I didn't let him touch me!"

"Truth." Keith said before leaning closer to her and this time, he asked with a dangerous tone, "Now tell me, you slept with his father that same night, didn't you?"

"..." she stared at him with her eyes wide and immediately shook her head, "N- no! I... I just rushed back home."

"Lies. I'm sure that your whole family knows about this so there's no need for me to do anything else. After all, Clangson told you to do it for the sake of political power and even though you went along with your father's wishes, the Count just tossed you and your family away like rags after that night.

Anyways, just keep in mind that I'll know if you lie to me. As for these young kids... they deserve better parents." he commented as he glanced at the youngest child who was an eight year old girl.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With a sigh, he took a few steps back but he didn't take his eyes away from them.

He didn't have to wait for long as Brandon and Edwards came back with multiple people tied up behind them and to Keith's surprise, he saw a familiar face.

'Robert...' he thought and let out a heavy sigh as he took in his ragtag, scrawny look, 'He looks like he has been malnourished for months... but even though I'm his brother, I can't give him special treatment. It doesn't change the fact that he joined a gang and caused trouble to innocent people.'

He felt slightly complicated as a part of him wanted to help Robert as a brother, but another part of him simply did not care as he had no attachment to the guy. He knew that he was not the Keith from this Earth, but from another.

"Take them to the church's prisons and I'll come to question them. Let's just say that I have an artifact that can tell apart truths from lies." he said and then pointed at the family beside him, "Take them under custody too and get some letters to the royal family ready since Clangson has been involved in drugs and human trafficking."

Brandon nodded and looked at Edward, "Will you go and buy some rope?"

"Sure."

Keith silently watched Edward leave before he sat down on the ground and let out a soft groan, "Ugh."

"Your instincts... I wish you were still a part of out team Keith." Brandon said as he stood tall, keeping an eye on the Clangson family, "You guys, kneel and keep your hands behind your back until we get the ropes."

"We can always work together. You know, like before. Amelia told me that you guys barely have any manpower and heh, as inquisitors, we have perks that you guys don't.

Which means that we are allowed to kill people who cause trouble instead of having to subdue them like you guys.

I also want Caleb, Laura and Nolan to get some experience in these things and also-" he stopped abruptly as an arrow lodged into the ground right in front of him.

It had a letter tied to it, so Keith took it off and unfolded it so he could read.

I'm Silver Thread's Master.

You killed my creation, but I'll give you the win this time. I don't want to meet you, but I do have a proposal. I'm having too much fun playing this game with you, so I don't want to stop. You won, so I'll do one thing you ask me to.

I can hear your words from where you're currently at, so don't worry about anything and just say it out loud. As long as it isn't the disbanding of the gang or anything that might bring me a loss, I'll accept almost anything.
