Chapter 174 A Confusing Situation
The food was great, but Edward and Brandon left early since they had to go back to the Clangsons. Keith followed them until the doorway, but the moment they opened the door to walk out, Keith felt his pink twitch.
'It's been weeks since I've felt this...' he thought as he looked at the two, "You're going back to Clangson's mansion right?"
Edward turned around and nodded, "Yeah, the danger increases during the night time so we both have to go. Today, I'll stay inside the mansion while Brandon will keep an eye outside but usually it's the opposite that happens."
Keith stared at them for a few seconds as he thought about his danger sense.
"Okay, I have a weird feeling that something might go wrong tonight." he said and saw their expressions change, "So, give me a second. I'll bring the others with me."
Saying that, he rushed back to the living room and looked at the group before sighing, "Everyone, I need your attention please."
"I have a feeling that something bad might happen around Brandon and Edward so I'll be going with them. And before you ask how, it's thanks to my danger sense." he said and looked at the trio and Amelia, all of whom had glasses of wine in their hands.
Laura, Nathan and Caleb looked absolutely drunk while Amelia was slightly flushed.
'She has a good resistance but I don't think I should be taking her...' he thought and turned to look at Clara, "Stay here with them just in case."
Clara nodded and stood up quickly before she walked up to him, "Wait." she said and placed her hand on his chest as she summoned a creamy white armor. It was sleek and good looking unlike Nathan's bulky plate armor.
Keith looked similar to a iron armored flying super hero from a certain franchise that started with M in his old world. The armor didn't have any core or reactors and it also didn't have a cool unmasking helmet either.
Instead of the moving parts, it had tinted glass that let him see the outside while keeping the inside hidden.
"How much of a boost does this one have?" Keith asked and Clara winked, "Four hundred percent on top of your original strength, so a five times boost. I'll go and give one to Brandon and Edward too." she said and groped his trench coat.
"Hmm, where's your revolver?"
Keith instantly made it appear in his hand and handed it over to her.
"Great." she said and placed her hand on the revolver before a pale white light enveloped the weapon. A few seconds passed and the layer or light slowly dissipated, revealing a creamy white revolver instead.
Keith took it from her and asked curiously, "What boost did this one get?"
"Range. As for how much, I don't really know."
Keith nodded and walked towards the two men who were standing at the main door. Clara gave both of them an armor each before nodding to herself, "Great, now your powers are doubled. I'll need the rest in case of an emergency."
'Hmm, she did say that the maximum boost she can do is an additional 1000%. She gave me 400 and these two got 100 each, which means that she has 400 more. Yep, she's got enough to protect the other four.' he thought and gave her a hug before leaving.
He rushed over to Clangson's mansion and felt his pinky twitch at a higher frequency compared to before, but he didn't let it bother him much. Instead, he looked at the other two.
"I'll stay outside, so you guys should head inside instead. I'll give you a signal if I spot something."
Just as he said that, he saw a flaming glass bottle fly towards one of the windows of the mansion. The bottle crashed into it and while the window did not break, the bottle did.
The contents splashed and burned as the liquid stuck to the window and the walls. Most of it fell onto the garden below and began to burn the green plants.
Keith raised his hand and with a single snap of his fingers, the fire was doused. He then walked toward the place were the liquid splashed and slid his fingers on the liquid before bringing it towards his face.
The helmet prevented people from seeing from outside and it also wasn't possible to remove it but Keith was still able to smell the thing on his hand.
"Hmm... alcohol." he said and turned to look at the other two, "And it's very concentrated."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Brandon nodded before pointing at a certain direction, "It flew from there so maybe we should check it out?"
Keith looked at the direction before nodding, "I'll do it."
Before the other two could respond, Keith rushed towards the direction where Brandon had pointed and felt his pinky twitching slow down.
'Wait, the true danger lies near the mansion?' he thought and immediately skidded to a halt before rushing back.
"You two should go check it out. This mansion is giving me a bad feeling so I'll stay back instead." he said and his ex-colleagues nodded.
He silently watched them run and yet again, he felt his finger twitching slow down.
He frowned and looked at his hand before his gaze shifted to the mansion beside him, "Just what in the hell is going on?"
It didn't take him too long to come to a conclusion.
'My finger twitching reduced the further I got from Brandon and Edward... which means that they're the ones in danger right now. Should I really leave this place and rush towards those two?' he thought but even though he wanted to leave the place, a certain part of him felt like there was something missing.

"Tch." he clicked his tongue, feeling frustrated as he rushed into the mansion and then to the living room where the whole family had gathered.
"You guys, go and hide somewhere safe. Close the doors and don't make any sounds." he said, but at the exact same time, his left arm began to sting like it had received a strong electric shock.
