God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith expected the journey to last almost a month, but to his surprise, it was pretty fast. In just two weeks, he had reached Arthur's dukedom and he could tell that Amelia was more anxious than excited.

"We're finally here huh?" he asked as he looked at Clara who nodded, "Yeah. Amelia was always downplaying how big and prosperous her family was. But now I can see for myself."

Keith smiled as he looked at the various stalls at the side of the road, "Generational wealth is a great thing. But thanks to getting kicked out, I'd say that she's learned more about us commoners than she'd have ever expected to."

"True..."

"Papa! I want that!" Miya exclaimed as she pointed towards a weapons store.

Keith turned to look at the shop and saw various weapons on display, mostly just made of wood.

"Hm, weapons for training huh?" he muttered and suddenly got an idea as he turned to look at his daughter, "Which one? The sword?"

Miya nodded multiple times in a quick succession, only to see her father jump off the carriage.

She panicked and peeped through the window to see Keith standing in front of the shopkeeper.

Before the knights would respond in time, Keith grabbed a sword, placed one zen note on the counter and rushed back into the carriage before giving the wooden sword to Miya.

"Here you go. You'll be training with grandpa here for now. Papa and mama will come and meet you every night but you should keep this a secret okay?"

Miya nodded as she took the sword and hugged it, "Okay... but you should come everyday okay? Promise?"

"Yeah, promise." Keith said as he hooked his pinky with hers.

A few minutes later, the carriages stopped in front of a large mansion and everyone sitting inside, climbed out.

Two women walked out of the mansion and there was a tall young man with them. Keith squinted his eyes and immediately sent a system seed towards him before checking the guy's information.

'Found you, you damn predator.' he thought and turned to look at Amelia, "Hey Amelia, I'm running out of meat. Do you know a place that can sell me a lot of meat in bulk?"

"Yeah, let's go out to buy some meat but not now. Probably at night?" she asked and Keith nodded.

"Sure." he said and paused for a moment before adding, "By the way, which one of those two is your biological mother?"

Amelia smirked and didn't respond. Instead she ran forward and hugged the woman who was taller than the other.

'Okay, got it. But damn these two don't look alike at all.' he thought and walked forward before bowing slightly in front of the two women.

"Mother, this is Keith and Clara. They're my closest friends and without them, I'd probably lose my mind with all the shit that goes on at my job." she cursed and Keith had never expected her to use such language in front of her mother and it was the same with her mother too.

Even she did not expect her daughter to use such language and was stunned for a second before smiling.

"Hahahaha is that so? I'm glad that you found great friends, Amelia." she said and kissed her daughter's forehead but a high pitched voice stabbed her ears the next second.

"You! How could you just brush it off? But it's alright. After all, she doesn't have the Toretto name anymore so it doesn't matter. A commoner can say whatever garbage they wish as long as they don't associate themselves with our household."

Keith turned to look at Amelia's stepmother and then glanced at Arthur. To his surprise, the guy was grinning from ear to ear.

While Keith stood in place, confused on what the hell was going on, Amelia shot back.

"Oh here's the bitch who married my father for money. Hey dad, how many times did this witch ask you to help out her family's business?"

Arthur shrugged, "Don't drag me into your fights..."

"Oh that's great!" Amelia said with a beaming smile on her face before her palm flew towards her stepmother's face. The should was crisp and loud.

Before the woman could speak, or even do something, Amelia slapped her once again.

"Ahhh feels great. I've been holding back the grudge for what you did to me eight years ago. How does it feel to get slapped by a filthy commoner by the way? I hope it feels amazing cuz I really feel great right now."

"Pfft-" Laura slapped her hand on her mouth as she tried to contain her laughter but Keith silently stared at the two females in front of him.

As he saw Amelia's step brother take a step forward with his hand raised, Keith immediately brought out his revolver from his spatial dimension and fired it at the sky with a loud bang.

"Keep your family matters to yourself but I won't stand by idly if I see anyone raise a hand on my people. Or even try to do so." he said as he stared at the guy in front of him.

Arthur frowned and Keith met his eyes before adding, "By the way Duke Arthur, I know that you are not corrupt and do your duties for the empire as you should. But there are people near you who are going behind your back and going illegal things.

Out of respect to you, I'll ignore it. But I hope that you clean this matter on your own by the time I'm done with the others, so you have one year's time."

"Are you threatening me Keith?" Arthur asked, frowning slightly but relaxed once Keith shook his head with a wry smile.

"No, I just don't want you to get betrayed in the future. I'll give you a clue by the way. You should start with the Green Water Port and find a guy named Red Patch Rory.

Human Trafficking, slave trading and a lot of other things are going on in your territory and the one who's responsible for it all is someone really close to you." he said as he glanced at Amelia's step brother.
