The hospital room was bathed in the soft glow of city lights filtering through the blinds, casting delicate shadows across the walls. The rhythmic beeping of monitors had long faded into background noise, repced by the quiet, steady breathing of Alicia, who y curled against Hezri's chest, her bare skin warm against his.

  His fingers absently traced through her dark hair, the silken strands slipping between his fingers as he stared at the ceiling, deep in thought. There was something profoundly crifying about these quiet moments—Alicia’s presence, her trust, the way she slept so soundly against him as if no harm could ever reach her here.

  The Mind at Work

  He considered the system’s patterns—how loyalty was earned differently than familiarity.

  He strategized his next moves—Maya and Lena needed to be tested, their loyalty solidified.

  He pondered Dr. Lakyus’s resistance—was it intellectual defiance, or was she simply harder to break?

  Alicia stirred slightly in her sleep, her naked breasts pressed further into his chest.

  This—this closeness—was more than just physical. It was control, yes, but also trust. The system rewarded loyalty, but it was moments like these that forged it.

  Alicia had been his second true conquest after Sara Croft. Now, she was something more.

  He exhaled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head before closing his eyes.

  The grand conference room of the city hospital was bathed in the warm glow of chandelier light, its mahogany table polished to a mirror sheen. Seated in his wheelchair, Hezri cut an imposing figure despite his injuries, his sharp gaze locked onto the Administration Director and Medical Director across the table. Sara Croft stood behind him, her hands resting lightly on the wheelchair’s handles, a silent but formidable presence.

  Alicia, ever the diplomat, moved gracefully between the two older bureaucrats, refilling their wine gsses with an expensive Bordeaux. Her smile was effortless, her charm disarming—yet her eyes flicked to Hezri occasionally, awaiting his cues.

  The Negotiation

  Hezri’s voice was calm, but carried undeniable weight.

  Hezri: "I propose two new appointments—Dr. Lakyus as Head of Ward Management, and Nurse Renner as General Manager of Nursing."

  The directors exchanged gnces. These were lucrative, high-ranking roles—less clinical grunt work, more administrative power.

  Medical Director (clearing his throat): "Those positions don’t exist in our current structure—"

  Hezri (smirking): "They do now. In return, I’ll donate 471,000 to your Cancer Department

  ??1,000,000 to autism research department.

  The directors’ eyes widened. The hospital had been struggling for funding.

  The Hidden Motives

  His bank bance (6,471,000) was excessive—he needed to offload some without raising suspicion.

  An experiment—would the system refund donations like it did gifts?

  Power consolidation—Lakyus and Renner in high-ranking roles meant less work for both girls and more power for them.

  The directors agreed. Hezri transferred the funds—1,471,000 total.

  The system’s response was immediate:

  [Donation Detected: Non-Refundable]

  [Current Money:

  6,471,000→5,000,000]

  A loss, but not a fatal one.

  The Aftermath

  Dr. Lakyus was stunned when the Board’s official letter arrived—her new role meant no more graveyard shifts, just strategic oversight.

  Renner nearly dropped her coffee when she was handed the General Manager title—her nursing days now mostly paperwork and policy.

  Both women exchanged gnces. This was Hez’s doing.

  The donations bought more than goodwill—they bought institutional influence. The hospital was now, in part, his.

  System Alert:

  [Lakyus - Loyalty: 40 → 55] (Professional debt acknowledged)

  [Renner - Loyalty: 55 → 65] (Unshakable devotion solidified)

  Hezri leaned back in his wheelchair, satisfied.

  Money well spent.

  Upon returning to his room, Lakyus and Renner were waiting.

  "Renner and me. We have a lot of free time because of you."

  Lakyus and Renner undressed themselves until they were finally naked.

  They hugged Hez and started kissing while their breasts and dies' parts were being stimuted by him.
