After Yuu returned home, Ayako immediately set her "scouting plan" into motion. The fact that the lower-level staff would remain unchanged saved her a tremendous amount of effort and prevented unnecessary gossip. In a corporation of the Suzuki Group's magnitude, replacing every single employee with women would have triggered a public relations disaster, potentially leading to gender-based controversies that would tank the stock price.
By only replacing key personnel, the impact remained minimal. According to Yuu's requirements, she only needed to swap out the executive board. Middle management, core engineers, and general staff would remain as they were. The higher one climbed the pyramid, the fewer people there were. For a group this size, there was only one Chairwoman. All told, replacing twenty to thirty executives would suffice.
Furthermore, Yuu had stated he would eventually provide his own candidates for the most sensitive positions. These were, of course, the "Destiny Girls" with exceptional talents—Ran, Eva, Miwako, Yukiko, and others. However, since they needed to be contracted first, this would take some time. Even including personal secretaries, drivers, and bodyguards, the total number of new recruits wouldn't exceed a hundred.
Still, it wasn't a simple task. Yuu had added a specific requirement: he preferred them to be pure virgins. Beautiful mothers with children or widows could be considered on a case-by-case basis. Now that the contracts were sealed, Yuu made no effort to hide his raw desires. The Suzuki women simply rolled their eyes; they had known he was a lecherous man, and now they just accepted that his appetite had grown.
Finding staff for the manor was far easier than finding corporate executives. If the only requirements were beauty and a pristine status, young virgins were plenty. Most manor chores were automated by technology anyway.
The real difficulty was how to "reasonably" move Shiro out. If Ayako ordered it, Shiro would have to comply, but if he started talking to the press, it would be a mess. Killing him wasn't an option—he was the father of her daughters, and without him as a shield, Ayako would be besieged by suitors. A gorgeous, wealthy "widow" with two daughters was an irresistible target for ambitious men. Shiro's death would also trigger a massive corporate investigation.
Ayako decided to talk to Shiro directly. With the help of her daughters and a generous settlement, she hoped for a peaceful separation. She did worry, however, whether Shiro could accept that his wife and both daughters had been claimed by the same man, essentially giving him a very large "green hat" to wear.
As Ayako puzzled over this task, she saw Tomoko sipping tea with a satisfied, squinty-eyed smile. Her eyes lit up. A helper! Serena was still in high school, so she'd keep her out of it for now. But Tomoko was about to graduate university. Ayako could use "inheriting the family business" as an excuse to break Tomoko's political engagement and put her in charge of this specific "talent recruitment."
It would give Tomoko something to do and prevent her from becoming just a "flesh-toy" for Yuu. Ayako pitched the idea, and Tomoko's eyes flashed with a mischievous glint as she agreed. Behind that gentle, squinting smile of Tomoko's lay a hidden, "dark" side. She was already imagining how to use the Suzuki Group's power to coerce and entice beautiful women into the organization. The thought of beautiful women being forced to join and then having their purity taken by Yuu one by one made Tomoko feel a familiar dampness between her legs.
Meanwhile, Yuu was driven home by a middle-aged chauffeur who bowed deeply, hoping to leave a good impression on the "future son-in-law." Knowing the man would soon lose his job, Yuu could only offer a polite, if awkward, smile. He felt little guilt; there were plenty of other positions in the Suzuki empire, and they would be given a substantial raise as compensation.
Back at the apartment on the 26th floor, he saw the sign for Eva's law firm. He wondered if Midori, the secretary, had recovered from her "doggy-style" lesson. However, his exhausted body meant he could only think about it. Sex with a contract target boosted his stats, but overdoing it caused more drain than gain. Until he pulled a "Dual Cultivation" or "Infinite Stamina" talent, he had to pace himself.
Entering apartment 2602, the space felt smaller than before. After the Suzuki manor, this luxury condo felt like a cramped studio. Still, he liked it. Much like women—whether petite or curvaceous—he loved them all. Variety was the spice of life.
"I'm home," he called out, but no one answered. He poured a glass of milk to replenish his nutrients and collapsed on the sofa. His phone was filled with messages. Ran had sent one saying her father had returned home dead drunk and penniless, so she had to stay home to take care of him. Seimi, on the other hand, was out shopping for household supplies with Midori.
Since Midori was Eva's assistant, she knew exactly which brands were best. Seimi, being new to the city, had tagged along. Yuu would have to wait for her to return to tell her she was being reassigned as the Suzuki family's private doctor. The current family doctor was an old woman ready for retirement. Seimi was perfect for the role—capable, professional, and 100% loyal due to the contract.
