God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith headed back to the Baronet's mansion and saw that Amelia was already there, talking to Brandon and Edward right outside the gates.

"Hey guys, good evening." Keith greeted them.

"Look who's here... you're too early by the way." Edward commented when he saw Keith walking towards them.

Keith nodded, "Well... it was hard to sleep when I already slept last night. Anyways, I simply have to keep watch outside the Baronet's room right?"

Brandon shook his head, "Not really. We let you go early, but now that you're here, there's something you must do." he said and paused for a second before continuing.

"Well, the only thing you checked was Clangson's study room, so your job now is to look at every single room in the mansion and report to your senior, who in this case, is Amelia. Just tell her if you find something suspicious."

"Understood." Keith said without thinking too much of it and looked at Amelia who was grinning from ear to ear, "You... wait I forgot that you were the junior until I got hired."

The target hit the bullseye as Amelia expression warped to that of fury, but she didn't say anything lest he counter her with another lewd comment. Instead, she directed her frustration at Brandon.

"Can't we just transfer him to some other district? This kid is too disrespectful."

Edward chucked while Brandon laughed loudly, "You do know that he's an year older than you right?"

"I...."

"It's fine." Keith interrupted before the two guys in front of him angered the girl too much. He had to spend the rest of the night shift with her as his boss and he didn't want an uncooperative partner.

"When it comes to work, age doesn't matter. Isn't that right, sir Edward?"

"You're right." Edward said, the playfulness in his voice gone as he looked at Keith with a serious look on his face, "We must learn when to act professional and when to act like friends."

He then patted Keith's shoulder before leaving and Brandon followed behind him as he stretched his back, letting out a satisfied grunt while doing so.

Keith turned to look at Amelia and a playful smile popped up on his face, "Senior Amelia, I hope you can teach me a lot of things tonight."

"Y- you! Stop making things sound so.... so suspicious!"

"Hahahahaha sorry." he said as he walked in, thinking about Clangson and the words he had said in the morning.

A slight frown formed on his face as he recalled the information.

'He has connection to the black market, so I'll have to try to get some information from him. Once I do, I can give Adam a system and sell the bullets at the black market.'

He silently walked inside and began to scour through the entire mansion with a maid as a guide while Amelia stayed with Clangson. It took him more than 5 hours to check every single room, but once he did, he let out a sigh.

He looked at the butler who was standing in front of him and said, "Tell the oldest daughter of Sir Clangson to meet us in the living room. There are quite a few things that I must ask her."

Keith's gaze the shifted to the maid who had been guiding him until now, "As for you... just bring the item that you have. Once you're done, you're free to leave."

"Thank you, detective.... um."

"Keith."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, detective Keith."

Keith simply nodded and headed towards the living room where Amelia and Clangson were at. Once he got close, he heard a terrible sound coming out of the room and from the notes that were being played, it was obvious that someone was playing the piano.

With an annoyed look on his face, he walked in and saw Amelia sitting in front of the piano with an extremely focused gaze.

Keith clapped twice and the two claps echoed in the room, which prompted the two of them to look in his direction.

"I have news, but it's not exactly good."

"Just blurt it out, please? I was trying to learn this thing."

Keith glanced at the piano and sighed, "Maybe it'll be better to learn somewhere else. If you continue, my ears are going to bleed."

Before Amelia could say anything to counter him, he continued, "Anyways... Sir Clangson, I feel like your daughter might be in danger. Almost every single thing in her room gave me urge to leave the room."

"There's also one object that's on the same level as the skull that we saw in the study room." he said as his gaze shifted to Amelia.

Clangson thought about Keith's words for a second before speaking, "My daughter attends a lot of parties hosted by the other baronets. Maybe it's from them?"

"That's possible, but there could also be other reasons." Amelia said as she got off her chair and walked towards the tea table where the maid had just placed a small fountain pen. She picked it up and looked at Keith, "Is this the one?"

He nodded in response and looked at Clangson, "By the way... this black market. What kind of place is it? And how do you get an entry?"

"It's just a regular market but some illegal things are sold there. There's also a lot of stolen items sold for cheap. As for getting an entry... this is not really a secret society kind of thing. It's available to the public as long as you know where to go.

You simply have go to that theatre that's behind the God of Money's Church and as long as you have enough money, or something valuable, they'll let you in. Just make sure that you're wearing a plain clay mask that's painted white."

Keith nodded as he began to make his plans. There was no need for him to wait for too long if he wanted to visit the black market.

'I'll just go see how things work there and start my business once I get Adam's awakened ability.'
