God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith and Clara walked out of their room and saw the trio grinning from ear to ear.

"Looks like the beast has been tamed by the lioness." Laura teased with a playful grin on her face while the others laughed.

Keith shook his head and just plopped himself onto the couch before looking at Amelia, "I'll add you to the team as a temporary support member. This way, you'll be able to attend the banquet with us and it'll be nice having you there since none of us here have any experience with grand banquets."

"So... wanna come with us or not?" he asked and waited for a response as he kept his eyes fixed on her.

"But Brandon..."

Keith shrugged, "You guys barely have any serious cases anymore and you also told me that there was a new face in the team too."

Amelia nodded and sighed, "Yeah, her name is Juliet and she acts like a damn child. It's a good thing that Edward is the one who's in charge of her and I'm so glad that it isn't me."

"Heh, but how does it feel to have your junior become a head inquisitor?" he asked and smirked, only to get a "tsk" in response.

She dodged the question and instead gave him a nod, "Fine, I'll join you guys. It's December now and if we wish to reach the capital before the birthday ends, we'll have to use the water route instead of horse carriages.

It'll be an uncomfortable journey, but that's our only choice. The best thing to do right now is to get things packed and leave by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll go get permission from Brandon, but I'll need an official letter from you too." she said and looked at the group.

"What are you all looking at? Start packing!" she commanded and the trio rushed towards their rooms while Keith stopped Clara from leaving.

Once he saw that they were gone, he spoke, "It's fine, there's no need to hurry. I'll write the letter for Amelia and then we can go buy some food for our travels."

He then paused and gave both of them a sheepish smile, "Um... I need a paper..." he said and headed to his room at the end.

Clara stayed back with Amelia while Keith wrote his letter and once he was done, he gave it to the girl.

"I have to do some preparations for the business that I planned, so I'll leave the shopping to you." he said and took out two zen notes that had the number 10 printed on them along with a leather pouch filled with brak coins.

"Okay." Clara said and took the money before the three of them left to take care of their responsibilities.

Since the meeting with the baronets, slightly more than four weeks had passed and Keith had a lot of vodka ready at this point in time.

'I planned on sending everything to them after another week, but this should also be fine.' he thought and headed towards an inn that was close to the edge of Auberg district.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He listed out the names of 12 people and the owner of the inn helped him with calling those people out of their rooms.

"The product is ready. Did you guys get the containers prepared?" he asked as he looked at the people in front of him who were all trusted aides of the baronets.

All of them nodded and then looked at each other. One of them took up the responsibility to talk for everyone.

"We all talked to each other and decided to buy two hundred barrels, with each one of them having a capacity of a hundred liters. They're all stored in a warehouse so as long as you're ready, we'll take you there."

Keith nodded as he did some calculations in his head before frowning slightly, "Well, I only have 200,000 liters of the product. So you guys will have to split them among yourself depending on the amount of reach your baronets have."

"That's doable, shall we go?" one of them said and once Keith nodded, they set off to the warehouse.

On the way, they discussed about their quota and Keith kept an eye on the system screens in front of him to make sure that they weren't hiding information from him or lying, which they didn't.

While they did try to get an advantage over the others by telling Keith about the advantages of giving higher quota to their baronets, this was something that Keith didn't mind.

Getting nice deals was a part of a merchant's skill set, so he decided to give them the goods based on their efforts in indirect bragging.

Keith first made them line up their barrels and keep them in groups to separate them from each others.

Once the preparations were done, he sent them all out and closed the doors before he took the barrels into this spatial dimension so he could fill them up.

A large ball of liquid floated in the air and once a group of barrels popped up inside the dimension, the vodka would fly in and fill up the barrels.

The cycle continued twelve times and once everything was done, Keith opened the doors and told them to take their quota.

"I'll be heading over to the capital since I got an invitation to attend the tenth Princess's coming of age banquet. Due to this, I'll be absent for four to five months but rest assured, Once I come back, you'll receive more vodka from me." he said and talked to them for a few more minutes before leaving.

As he walked back home, his thoughts wandered to the events that happened in the novel and sighed.

'The succession wars are going to get brutal so I originally didn't want to get involved, but now that I have some amount of power in my hands, I guess it won't be so bad... I don't really like the royal family though.'
