God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith didn't have to wait for even a minute as he suddenly heard and saw one of the windows break into pieces.

Each window had one sixteen sections of glass that were separated and kept in place by the help of wood. One main "+" design with the wood and in each of these sections, there was another "+" sign.

Pieces of wood and shards of glass fell into the room and Keith saw a man climb in with a silvery white mask. The guy turned his head to look in Keith's direction before multiple strands of hair uncoiled and revealed his face. Keith squinted his eyes and immediately shot out a system seed at the guy.

'Silver hair, handsome and also having feminine looks, slender yet slightly muscular... is this silver thread? I don't really want to fight that menace but I didn't expect him to come out in the open. Usually he likes operating in the shadows so did something go wrong?' he thought and immediately, an error message popped up in front of him.

Stay tuned for updates on empire

[System Error: System Seed could not be activated as the target is not a human being.]

This message make Keith feel a sense of fear as this was something he had never expected. Silver Thread was barely given screen time in the novel and whenever he was mentioned, it was from other characters, rumors, riddles or other indirect ways.

'He didn't pay too much attention to Clark at the start of the novel, so Clark grew pretty strong. But even then, Silver managed to stay alive and play with Clark like he was playing with a toy.

It's so hard for forget the things he did to cause trouble to Clark and I'd rather not have someone like this as my enemy.

I originally thought that he was human but this is so unexpected...'

Keith's thoughts did wander, but he kept his eye on Silver who silently stood amidst the broken glass shards.

"Keith... Zenister." He said as he stared at Keith before smiling, "I request you to hand over the family you wish to protect. They've done things that they shouldn't have and their existence is something that is annoying."

Clangson angrily glared at Ken, "Who gave you the right to declare that I did wrong things? Huh?!"

Ken shifted his gaze to look at Clangson before smirking, "Let's start from when you were fourteen years old, shall we? You studied in the royal academy and passed with average scores, but you managed to earn a lot of money during the five years at the academy by selling aphrodisiac drugs to your peers.

You used that money to start your own textile business and in a few years, you expanded to making wine. Though, that's all on the surface. Away from everyone's gazes, you continued your drug business and began selling different drugs and poisons too.

Then you married your wife whose father partook in slave trading and you took over that business too, which is illegal. As for your beautiful concubines, you forced their fathers into debt and got them to hand over their daughters to you.

I'll give you one chance, trash. Will you give away your life for your family, or will you drag them with you by resisting?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keith turned to look at Clangson with a surprised expression on his face. The women beside him glared at him with hatred as they placed their hands on their kids' shoulders.

Clangson on the other hand, looked absolutely afraid as he heard Ken's words. He thought desperately for a few seconds before proposing a request.

"I- I'll give you whatever you want, please let me live and please don't tell people about this. I'll lose my title... I'll lose everything."

Keith squinted his eyes as he watched him trying to negotiate and to his surprise, Ken chuckled playfully instead of pushing forward.

"Do you really think that you'll be safe even after I left you alone? You literally confessed in front of an inquisitor and he's not a normal inquisitor either. He's a captain of a team who has the power to set up a manhunt for your head." he said and shook his head, "You're such an idiot... but you should know that you still have an exit. After all, you've worked in the shadows for so long."

Clangson grinned as he nodded repeatedly, "Of course. What's the price for this inquisitor's head and my safety? You can take these two commoners along with their kids, but just leave one for succession."

Keith silently watched as the two concubines panicked, and so did their kids.

Ken laughed loudly when he heard Clangson's proposal and shook his head, "Nope, I'll give you another offer instead. You'll sponsor a certain group and on top of that, you'll have to pay us protection fees every week. As for how much, that'll depend on your profits."

Before Clangson could react, Keith took out his revolver and pointed it directly at the baronet's head, "Move an inch and I'll pull the trigger."

Clangson froze in fear while Ken chuckled, "You're forgetting about me, aren't you?"

"Not really. You need money and it looks like you're the one who's controlling the gangs in this district. I'm just curious about how you managed to evade my group so efficiently, but I guess that's related to the person who has a power related to shadows.

I just have one question. What is your goal? If it's something that doesn't directly clash with mine, then we can come to an understanding and maybe we can have a partnership. Though, I have another question about Clangson. Did he involve innocent kids in his shady businesses?"

Ken looked at Kieth with an amused expression on his face, "Looks like you don't want direct confrontation unless absolutely necessary, ey?" he said and then glanced at Clangson before smiling amicably.

"Children huh? While he didn't sell child slaves, he did gather them and kept them for himself. He taught them how to create his drugs, taught them how to trick people to drop their guards so that he could scam them into poverty before he gave them loans with absorbent interest rates." he said and paused for a second.

"Oh wait, he also used them to test his drugs, which resulted in deaths of more than a hundred kids."
