Everyone Else Has a System

"What are you talking about?" Themis asked, and I replied with another question"do you have any skill that can make you invisible or hide your aura or something?"

"Yeah. I do. You want me to hide myself?" she asked, a bit confused, and I nodded before she observed me for a moment before proceeding to speak.

"[One with Nature]" and soon enough I saw the air surrounding her completely before she started becoming transparent. A few seconds later, she vanished completely from there.

"Merlin, can you check what is going on outside?" I spoke and Merlin looked at me before turning towards the exit and a wide expression appears on her face as she speaks,

"My guards have surrounded your men, however, your friends don't look tense. They are just sitting within a white circle playing some card games as if they were on a picnic." "Did anyone die?" I asked, and she shook her head with slight relief as she spoke,"luckily, it is still all okay."

"Then let's leave then. Themis, stay close to me," I spoke as I began walking outside this room along with Merlin beside me.

Perhaps things proceeded a bit too smoothly this time for some reason… I guess I am luckier in this timeline than last time. Had it been the previous timeline, Merlin would have gone against me, with Themis taking Merlin's side and I might have needed to fight everyone within this mansion. Well, it doesn't really matter though, since I would have come out unscathed, anyway.

'Now, what next?' I thought as I moved down and then towards the throne room, along with the rest of the people here. Watching me coming outside beside Merlin without any signs of damage or anything, all the people on the other side became surprised and shocked.

As for people from my side, they just stood there with a smile on their faces, before Lucas spoke,"you took your sweet time in there. What took you so long?"

"How long have I been in there?" I wondered how much time had passed and Lucas looked at his watch before speaking,"about 5 hours."

'Oh! That's a lot. I was so busy talking with Merlin and Themis that I forgot to notice the time.' I was a bit surprised, but I guess it was fine since the returns were equally good.

'Though, I need to watch over Themis… it was kind of too easy for some reason…' I sighed as even though I wanted it to, I couldn't shake that feeling that it went awfully too smooth there.

"Well, our work is done here. Miss Merlin, I expect a positive response from you within this month," I spoke out of nowhere, making even Merlin look at me with a confused expression.

Though moments later, understanding my intentions, she made a serious expression and said,"You shall receive my response soon."

I nodded at her before walking down each step as I observed Lucas' cousin and uncle observing me with a focused expression. The other elders of the Rose family were observing me as well and ignoring them, I focused on Williamson Rose as I spoke,

"I will be leaving from here. Let's meet 4 months later."

Williamson looked at me and nodded before speaking,"I suppose you are satisfied with this visit." His eyes shifted between Merlin and I many times and I spoke,"yeah. Even though it looked like you guys had other plans for us, I am still satisfied with how it ended, so I will overlook it this time."

Williamson kept his silence when I spoke and I really did not mind how things went because… I would have planned at least 10 times worse than this.

After that, all of us got out of that room and moved outside towards the jet plane, when Williamson asked,"where would you like to go next? At least we can help you reach there."

Without missing a beat, I said,"Take me to the black water lake."

Hearing my words, this time almost everyone, including Merlin, were shocked by this.

Well, it was a place filled with high death energy collected over centuries so anyone who approaches it gets killed immediately without even a moment to save themselves. So, I guess, them getting shocked was viable.

"Are you sure you want to go to that place?" Williamson asked, confirming once again as he blinked with surprise while observing my expression.

"Yeah. Pretty much sure," I replied.

"The Black Water Lake?" he asked again.

"The Black Water Lake," I confirmed this again.

"The place where the death rate is 100%?" he asked again.

"Yeah. Exactly that place," I smiled at him and this time he took a deep breath before speaking,"I guess.. You must have your reasons to go there. Well, good luck with whatever you are trying to do. We will drop you about 10 kilometres away from that lake, though."

I nodded at him before I saw the people who were with me, not really bothered by this information.

'Have they lost their mind or something?' I really questioned their sanity as I looked at their faces. I mean, it would be much more normal if they were surprised, horrified, or maybe furious with my decision. At the very least, they should have asked questions regarding this decision of mine, but yet, they are acting so normal, as if we were going on a picnic.

'Looks like I need to talk to find out exactly what is going on in that brain of theirs.' I decided in my heart to ask that after we board the jet and it takes off.

While my friends moved inside the jet, I moved towards Merlin, who normally should be hiding, was now standing out in the open without any care in the world.

"Shouldn't you be hiding?" I asked, and she pondered before asking with a confused expression,"won't I need to fulfil your promise? Do you want me to do that without showing myself? That's kind of too much to ask for, you know? Just how much do you want this young lady to work?"

I looked at her stupefied before speaking,"well.. You do you, I suppose. I will be leaving from here now. I will send you everything through Williamson soon enough," and then moving away from there under the blank gazes of the Rose Family.

Sitting inside the plane, I saw everyone busy in their own work and after the gate closed; I clapped to gain the attention of everyone before I asked,

"There is something that I am curious about. Can you answer a few questions of mine?"
