The game 'Trial of Heroes' featured the Geminis as a villain on the first and second arcs of the game. They didn't have much of a role in the first arc but did play a major antagonist role in the later part.
The House of Gemini currently has five members. The head, his two wives and three sons. Being a Marquess they had a large influence on the society and had control over many vassals.
Out of all the noble families, the Geminis were the most hated. Mainly because of how they treated the commoners. They used their assets to develop the city, just so they could show off to the other nobles.
They thought of themselves as the mighty, not just in the city but the entire human kingdom. But, they were always below the Dexers. That is why they tried to bring down the Dexer and would always fail.
The method they tried to destroy the Dexers was simple but inhumane. Use human sacrifices to summon a certain devil. However, that devil in addition to human sacrifice needed another abundant material.
The Brimstone.
'Only if they didn't have that mine?'
The Gemini had landed the golden mine of Brimstone.
Brimstone was found abundantly but only in certain areas and the Gemini in the past had found it, monopolising the whole market. There were other sources as well, but extracting those materials took a lot of time and money.
It was ironic how Levi was using the items the family produced to spy on them.
In the game, and now as well Siras had a vision of the Gemini doing so but he needed concrete proof.
That is why he had sent Levi.
'Why did he have to send me though?'
There were more highly skilled people in the church than Levi and it made no sense for sending him on such a risky one.
Levi wanted to summon his lesser eyes but even with their sneaky power, they wouldn't escape eyes of this many guards.
Levi looked to his left side to see a huge factory that had even more security than the mansion itself. The factory was separated into three different dome structures, made from high-quality glasses, not see-through and filled with barriers on each and every panel.
Each one of those domes had its purpose. One to mine, another to process the mineral and the last to store and refine it.
Levi activated Sense and felt mana fluctuation coming from the factory, not above but way below the ground, from where the extraction was going on.
However, getting there from the factory wasn't possible. There was only a single entrance to all of those three domes, from where only the miners and other staff were allowed to enter.
Also, the guards standing at the gate had a mana detector.
In any other place, Levi would easily enter but in this place, mana was heavily controlled. He was invisible but his presence still was there.
One single fluctuation of mana from him and every guard in the area will come for his head.
'So there is only one way left.'
Levi looked straight at the mansion in front of him. A two-storey building, made from pure white marble, larger than two football fields. The garden was bigger than the house itself as it needed more than 100 people to maintain it.
One thing that elevated the mansion's beauty was the family logo placed right on the middle and upper end of the mansion, just like any nobles do.
But not every noble could make an effort to make their family's logo out of pure gold. Two curved lines rotated, separated by other two straight lines.
Levi had seen the logo before in the game and also in real life. Some of his friends loved astrology and shitting on anyone with the Gemini zodiac.
The reason he was going to infiltrate the mansion was simple,
'The family also needs to get to the bottom of the mine to check on whatever they are doing. But these egoistic bastards aren't going to take the same, dirty routes that the commoners do.'
He couldn't sense anything odd in that mansion but that didn't mean nothing was there. They just had done a good job hiding it.
Levi started walking towards the mansion, passing by the factory. He could see some miners coming out to drink from a relatively well-built well, considering how poor conditions those people had to work in.
Those worn-out gloves, blunt and about-to-break pickaxes and low-quality equipment worn by the miners said a lot about their working conditions.
The guards looked straight and not at the people coming out from the mine, exhausted, their hands so shaky that they couldn't hold their glasses properly.
Humanity inside of them hadn't died but disobeying their orders could result in them losing their job. All they could do was stand tall, while they watched their fellow work to death.
Levi looked away. There was nothing he could do for them. Their fate was to work on low wages until death. Levi was to use them as a distraction and quietly walk away.
However, he couldn't help but look this time as he could see one of the miners getting slammed into the ground. It was one of the workers, in his 40s, shirt torn and a burnt mark on his shirt and stomach. He held his stomach and coughed in pain.

*Bam*
Before the man could look up, his head was rubbed into the ground.
Levi looked at the miner and then the high-quality leather boot on his head.
"You useless mongrel, This is the fourth time I have seen you come out for a drink"
Levi recognized that voice. After being in this world for almost two months, he finally found somebody who sounded exactly like in the game.
'Sometimes never change.'
Levi looked at the guy's face and didn't even have to think about who he was.
'Herald Gemini.'
Pink hair and pink eyes with porcelain-like skin. Seeing him at first, everybody would think of him as an angel-like creature, but his acts were worse than those of a demon.
He put more weight on his boot and scowled,
"I don't care if you have diabetes and want more water. Work and drink your sweat. Do you think the water comes for free?"
He smacked the miner's head, who didn't sort any resistance.
"I will ask your manager to cut your salary for how much glass you have drunk?"
Herman lifted his legs and was about to walk away. but the miner grabbed it,
"Please lord, forgive me. I won't touch the jar ever again so, please don't cut my salary. My daughter isn't well these days and the medicine isn't cheap…... Please, young master."
Herald kicked him again and again shouting,
"Don't…touch"
*Kick*
"Ever again."
Herald stopped his assault and spitted on the lowly man, bleeding from his nose. He looked at one of the staff, holding some documents shivering,
"Cut six months of his salary and don't you dare try to be clever. Otherwise, you might just lose your wife. You know how I like to steal others right."
"As you wish."
The man said, clenching his fist, his head lowered.
Herald then pointed at the miner and shouted,
"If anybody picks him up, I will cut his hands, give him money and I will make your life miserable. Understand?"
Nobody spoke, everybody stood in silence.
"If you understand, lower your fu*king heads."
Everybody did so, as they stood there, forced to act inhumanely.
Nobody picked up the miner, as he slowly stood up. He lifted his pickaxe and walked into the factory crying, the tears washing away his mudded face.
Levi watched the frail man walk inside, as he unconsciously clenched his fist. He didn't take pity on that man.
Herald then started walking to the mansion and Levi followed him like his shadow. Seeing Herald, Levi wanted to take out his knife and stab his empty head, again and again, until his eyes started to drop out from its socket.
He wanted to kill, rip apart Herald. Not for the old man but the psycho he had buried deep inside of him.
'The time will come. Control yourself, Levi. Think about good things, chocolate, flowers, boobs..... No, that's just horniness.'
Levi just slapped himself and got back on track. Both of them reached the entrance to the mansion.
The large white, chiselled doors opened and there was just a line of maids, bowing to Herald.
"Welcome back, master."
The maids said in unison, in the same harmony. It felt like being in an opera.
One of the maids quickly kneeled down and started taking off Herald's boots. Another came behind him and took off his coat.
Herald let out a small scuff and looked at the maid behind him. He cupped her cheeks and smelled her hair.
The girl stood still motionless, acting emotionless but her shivering fingers could tell Levi what she was going through.
"You, prepare a bath for me and bring me a glass of wine.."
He then looked to the oldest maid in the room.
"Decorate her for me."
He said as if the girl wasn't a human and one of his dolls. He walked up the fancy stairs, decorated with red carpet, made from the skin of a wyvern that Herlad killed on his own.
Outside his room, was the invisible central eye floating above the door. It had managed to find the source of mana fluctuation but couldn't enter it properly.
'Tell the lesser eyes to alert me if anything out of place happens..'
[Yes]
Central eye said as he flew back onto Levi's shoulder, the only one who was allowed to call it home.
Herald opened the door and before he could close it, Levi quickly squeezed himself in, the door clipping his little brother.
'Why is everything trying to decapitate my dick?'
Levi said started tiptoeing around the fancy room in pain.
'There is a secret compartment somewhere along here but my Sense isn't finding anything.'
The central eye was also looking but it too didn't have any idea.
The room was exactly how an arrogant and corrupted young master would want it. Heads of animals, Herald himself had killed, painting of himself all over the wall, a large king-size bed, with see-through curtains and the largest mirror Levi had seen, placed opposite to the bed.
Soon the maid entered, forgetting to ask for permission to get inside. Her head was down as she walked into the bathroom attached to the room.
Herald seeing this felt a sense of sadism take over him, as he licked his lips and walked into the bathroom.
Levi on the other hand was busy trying to find the contraption that unlocked the secret door.
He and his floating minion looked for more than ten minutes but nothing came into his view. At that time, Herald again came back, wearing a leopard pattern robe and sat on the bed. He then cast a sound barrier around the room, smiling and imagining the perverted things he was about to do.
And Levi's mana ran out at the worst time. He could see the brimstone invisibility of the armour start to wear off.
He quickly slid under the bed causing a thud sound.
'Shit'
Herald heard it and was alerted. He immediately stood up and took out a sword attached to the wall.
But before he could do anything, his mind was distracted, when the bathroom door opened, and a girl with purple hair and black eyes came in, wearing red lingerie, her hands covering her chest and her head dropped down.
Herald filled with lust, took in a deep breath as something a part of his robe started to rise.
The girl slowly made her way to Herald and stood in front of him.
The lust-filled heir stood up and pushed the girl on his bed. The maid couldn't hold in her emotions anymore. She put her hands on her mouth but the sniffling sound wouldn't stop
" Cry all you want, after a while other parts of you will cry as well. I will take you to another world today."
Herald said, taking off his robe. He pulled the girl's leg over the edge and dropped down to get down to the business.
Levi, on the other hand, got a glimpse of Herald's small knight and just closed his eyes. He just took out a mana potion and drank it, reactivating the invisibility.
'Why is it so small?'
Levi couldn't help but think about the small 4-inch knight lost in the curly forest.
'This….is going to haunt me for the rest of his life.'
As Levi was contemplating what he saw, the central eye, hiding under the spot with Levi, hit its head on a small lever attached to the bed.
It turned back and it saw a small lever attached right at the edge of the bed.
[Master there is a lever]
The eye then placed its feet on the lever.
[ Maybe if we pull this.]
' Ok.pull it.....wait..No''
Levi at first wanted to get out of this situation but realized that opening the secret compartment right now was the worst idea when the owner of the room was in the room about to fuck.
Levi reached out his hand and tried to stop the eye. His hand grabbed onto the lever but a different one.
'Eww'
He pulled his hand back without losing his grip.
"Ahhhhh"
A deafening scream entered the whole room, as Herald in pain jolted causing him to hit his head on the edge knocking him unconscious. Even an A-rank like him couldn't handle the pain caused to his precious brother.
Soon another scream echoed around the room,
"Ah"
The maid, not knowing what had happened, thinking she had screwed up also fell unconscious.
The central eye had pulled a lever and the floor under the bed started to move, revealing a secret compartment half the size of a king-sized bed.
Levi just crawled to the compartment and was welcomed by a series of stairs. He slowly walked down and felt the gaze of the eye that landed on his shoulder.
[Master...you just touched that man's dic-]
'Don't talk about it. We need to keep it a secret until we die.'
Levi said as he casted a Cleanse spell on his hand.
