"Help her take over the Bloodthorne family?" The mere suggestion echoed in his mind, and he couldn't escape the gravity of its implications.
His brow furrowed in contemplation as he mused aloud, "Wouldn't that venerable old lady willingly relinquish control of the family affairs to Evelina once she learns the truth? That girl practically got raped trying to save her." Rick was confused.
As he pondered further, a revelation struck him like a bolt of lightning. "Perhaps the system expects me to expedite the process," he mused, the pieces of the intricate puzzle falling into place. The elderly matriarch, upon awakening, would likely feel compelled to pass the torch to Evelina. However, the road to family command was fraught with peril, and the murky waters needed cleansing.
"The old lady may be ready to surrender, but she will need to pave the way for Evelina, clean house, rid the family of the treacherous rats," he surmised. A shrewd smile played on his lips as he foresaw a timeline stretching ahead, a tapestry of intrigue and manipulation.
"It will take time, perhaps a span of a couple of years," Rick continued, his mind already devising the intricate steps of the impending power play. Meanwhile, Evelina will just have to play the second fiddle all this time."
"This is seriously amazing," Rick mused, relishing the sheer power coursing through his veins. The notion that a single decision could either build up or tear down a formidable family of mythical creatures left him buzzing with excitement. "I owe you one, system," he muttered with a smirk, acknowledging the unseen force that had thrust him into this exhilarating game.
Snuggling into the coziness of the bed, a wide grin stretched across Rick's face. His mind was ablaze with scheming thoughts on how to deftly manipulate the grandmother into bequeathing her vast fortunes to Evelina.

As Rick stirred from his slumber the following morning, he found the Rabbit already perched beside him, looking all eager. It extended its furry paws toward him, cradling a mysterious dark brown pill.
"Master, here, take this," the Rabbit chirped, its enthusiasm palpable.
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Rick squinted at the offering. "What is it?" he mumbled, his voice still carrying the weight of drowsiness.
Seventeen, without uttering a single additional syllable, executed a slight bow, a display of deference that seemed more programmed than courteous. His movements were deliberate, each step calculated, as he turned on his heel to carry out Rick's bidding.
Left alone, Rick took a deep breath, and opened the door for the old Matriarch's room and went inside to wait for everyone else.
A minute or two later, the entrance swung open once more, and Evelina gracefully stepped into the room, Seventeen in tow — silently shadowing her every move. The room began to fill as the ensemble gathered, each member finding their designated space. Jack, his demeanor marked by a well-worn leather jacket, flashed a smirking acknowledgment from a discreet corner.
Michelle, adorned with vibrant hair and an array of piercings, assumed a casually defiant pose, leaning against the wall with arms crossed.
In the familial dynamic, Michelle and Martin's wife exchanged subtle glances, an unspoken language flowing between them, a shared understanding that eluded the rest. Finally, Geoffrey materialized, completing the tableau
The ambiance in the room took on a serious note, thanks to the doctors and nurses bustling about in their white coats, their expressions matching the gravity of the situation.
Breaking through the awkward silence, Rick injected a dose of casual humor, saying, "Finally, the gang's all here. Alright, everyone, thanks for showing up. We are all aware of why we are gathered, right?"
Jack, never one to beat around the bush, retorted, "Cut the crap, Rick. What's the deal? Why did you call us here?"
Rick, adopting an easygoing shrug, replied, "Hey, don't look at me. I didn't ring any of you up, except maybe your daughter. So, if you are clueless, blame your squad of incompetent rats for not squeaking in your ears."
Evelina's frown deepened as she scolded Rick, "Can you stop getting distracted for once?"
Rick, feeling the weight of accusation, complained, "Why do you always blame me? I am always on the receiving end of your family's verbal diarrhea."
An air of tension lingered until Evelina decided to assert control, her voice cold and intimidating, "Enough. Everyone just shut up."
Michelle, attempting to diffuse the atmosphere with her pleasant voice, innocently remarked, "But no one is speaking, dear," only to be met with a sharp glare from Evelina.
"Have you gathered us here for your useless gibberish?" Evelina's expression mirrored the angst that seemed to have shadowed her since her return.
With a triumphant gesture, Rick raised his fist, declaring, "All done."
"Your grandmother's life? It is in my hands."
