God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 35: Bottom Lines

Amelia and Clara stared at Keith who nonchalantly exposed his bulging stomach after he had eaten a huge portion of food once again.

"How do you even live after eating so much...."

No matter now many times she saw the same thing, Amelia just couldn't get used to it. Seeing a lean guy lying on the floor with a bulging stomach after eating for two whole hours was amusing but also slightly scary.

"Gotta get some of that muscle." he replied as he patted his stomach, "Anyways, let's rest for a bit and then we can go meet Adam. He's most probably at the police station."

"Mhm." she replied and patted Clara's back, "Before we go, it'll be better to get some blessings."

Keith nodded and looked at Clara who avoided his gaze, "Oh dear angel in disguise, please give me your divine blessings."

"Already did." she said softly before getting up and heading to her room.

Amelia saw this and smirked, "Wow just look at that. A girl who isn't phased by most of the things is unable to handle staying in the same room as you. Just what did you two do last nigh- oow!"

Keith's eyes followed the small wooden box that had just bounced off of Amelia's forehead and caught it.

"Hai hai, I never expected to see a shy side to her." she added before lifting her hands, "Okay okay okay!!! I'll stop."

Keith couldn't really see what Clara was doing as he was sleeping in an awkward position and was too lazy to move. For the next two hours, he chatted with Amelia until some of the food was digested and then left the place.

The two of them didn't have to walk into the police station as Adam was standing outside with a mug of coffee in his hands.

"Hey!" he said and waved his hands, but when he saw Amelia, he paused. He then looked at Keith, hoping to find some kind of answer but was unable to find anything.

Keith silently walked towards him, "Listen, I just want to talk about something important. I mean no harm."

Adam sighed and then looked at Amelia, "Well, I guess I know what you want to talk about. Come with me."

Saying that, he walked into the police station and went straight into one of the smaller rooms after grabbing one chair from the main room where the Sheriff's table was at. Keith silently followed him into the room with Amelia right beside him.

The door of the room had one sign stuck to it which said, "Interrogation Room"

Keith and Amelia walked in and saw Adam take a seat on one end of the small table. On the opposite side, there were two empty chairs.

As for the rest of the room, it was completely empty. Keith silently sat down and went straight to the topic.

"Is it true that you prefer men over women? If yes, I want to know the reason why you married my sister."

Hearing this, Adam glanced at Amelia and then shifted his gaze back to Keith, "Can I smoke..."

"I don't mind." Keith said before Amelia could give out an answer. To him, this was a family matter and Amelia was simply here for his protection.

Nodding in response, Adam took out a pipe from his pocket and filled it with what Keith could only guess, as dry tobacco leaves. He then lighted up a match, which he used to get the tobacco heated up.

He took a long puff and exhaled, which looked more like a long, tired sigh.

"Well, if people find out, I'll be executed but yes you're right. As for why I married Rebecca... well, I wanted kids and to get kids, I needed to marry a woman no matter what. Rebecca already knows everything and we've talked about it long ago. Before we married.

I just want a loving family with kids that have my own blood flowing in them. As for Rebecca, she's fine with it as long as I provide for her and our kids. Though, she had a condition and that was for our kids to not find out about me.

Does that answer your question?" he asked and took another puff of smoke before exhaling.

Keith coughed a few times due to the smoke before nodding, "As long as you take care of my sister, I don't really care what you do. Also, my friend here was just worried that you'd target me and that's the only reason why she told me about you. I hope that you don't hold it against her."

"Nah, we're good as long as the wrong people don't find out." Adam said and looked at Amelia, "Just so you know, miss. Your brother is the same as me but he's... well he's, to put it mildly, crazy. Doesn't care who it is or how old they are. Unfortunately it was too late before I found out and by then, he had harmed way too many people.

Even now, I have no means to stop him and the feeling of powerlessness I get... it's hard to explain. Haa... no matter how useful my ability is, touching a Duke's kid is almost impossible."

"Can you give me the details?" Keith asked, frowning deeply as he compared Amelia's brother to a certain guy in the music industry from his past life.

'Though I wasn't there to see what actually happened in the end, this is my bottom line. Every single pedo, children manipulators, and groomers... I will stop them.'

There was a limit to how much of the "When in Rome, do what the Romans do." that Keith would follow and this was his bottom line. He could accept multiple things but taking advantage of little ones was something that was the vilest and the most disgusting thing to him.

He silently listened to everything that Adam said and the anger in his heart simply grew further and further. Amelia was also extremely shocked when she heard Adams words.

'I'm sorry Amelia, but your brother must and will mysteriously disappear some day.' Keith said mentally as he glanced at the distressed girl beside him.
