16. Eliminate the Rat
Cam, with subtle dark circles under his eyes betraying his sleepless night, meticulously analyzed the data on his computer. The Moon Ranger's appearances, his inexplicable strength, and his apparent lack of affiliation were anomalies that deeply disturbed him.
"He acts alone, his energy levels are unlike anything we've ever recorded."
Cam muttered to himself, cross-referencing information from the incident sites with witness reports and energy readings.
"There's no pattern to his appearance, except that he always appears at critical moments."
The energy emitted by the Moon Ranger didn't come from any of the known morphing sources. It was something new. Something powerful.
He made a decision: track the Moon Ranger's energy signature and confront him.

In the mansion, Henry relaxed in bed, the hectic morning resulting in a naked Tori sleeping next to him in the large bed. She had a silly smile on her face, she was exhausted, but very satisfied.
Henry felt like he had the power in his hands, living a life of luxury and having a woman to satisfy him every day. That was a life a villain should have, without any morals, just pleasure in life.
He got up, went to the bedroom door and spoke to the door:
"Bring me some hot coffee."
He didn't wait and walked to the balcony, completely naked with his large member swinging.
It didn't take long, a beautiful blonde woman wearing a maid's dress that appears in movies and animations.
She held a tray, with two empty porcelain cups and a kettle of ready coffee.
"Here, Mr. Davis."
The maid placed the tray on the table and gently poured the hot coffee into the porcelain cup, handed it to Henry, she bowed slightly, waiting for him to take the cup.
"You're a good girl, tell me your name."
Henry didn't know he had a maid as beautiful as her, he couldn't resist asking her name, even with Tori sleeping in bed.
"My name is Sophia, Mr. Davis. Thank you very much for the compliment, I'm very happy to serve you."
Sophia — Appearance
Sophia replied, still slightly bent over waiting for her master to take the cup of coffee in her hands.
Henry liked her pose, he didn't take the cup yet, he observed Sophia's body for a few more seconds, delighting in that scene.
"Why do you serve me with such determination? I remember that there is no rule requiring servants to be so respectful to me."
Henry asked doubtfully, he didn't modify anyone's memory to make his servants so respectful and there was also no rule in the mansion that required it.
"In response to Mr. Davis, my family has always been employed in this mansion since its construction. My great-grandfather worked on the construction of the mansion, my great-grandmother was a cook for the construction workers, my grandfather was a driver for the first owners, and my grandmother was the mansion's cook. My parents were all employed by the mansion's owners, and before their deaths, I promised that I would serve the mansion's owner with all the respect and adoration that the owner deserves."
Sophia replied, still bent over holding the cup. She didn't find what Henry was doing disrespectful. For her, everything the mansion's owners do is normal and their orders are divine orders.
Henry's lips lifted in a smile. That was very satisfying, even more so coming from a beautiful woman like the one in front of him.
Henry took the cup of coffee and let Sophia go, but a seed of desire was planted in his heart.
As soon as Sophia left the luxurious room, a system notification rang in her mind.
[New event detected!
Cam Watanabe is investigating the identity of the Moon Ranger and he is very close to finding relevant clues that lead to you!]
[Event Mode has been activated!
Unlike Missions, Events require a choice before the host acts.]
"A new mode? That's good, a new way to earn rewards."
Henry thought to himself.
[Options:
1. Let Cam find out for himself.
2. Interfere and reveal your identity to Cam.
3. Eliminate the threat.]
[Reward:
1. 30,000 US dollars.
2. Small increase in physical attributes.
3. Modification of 1 memory of any target.]
Henry didn't hesitate for a second, he chose option 3, eliminate the threat. He didn't want a stranger to know that he was the Moon Ranger, after all he will be a known villain in this world.
Killing Cam is the simplest and most consistent with Henry's goals. He can't be a villain if he doesn't kill someone from the good guys, right?
Tori wiggled her beautiful buttocks and turned around, waking up from her sleep. She opened her eyes and saw her lover on the balcony, drinking something, thoughtful.
She got up from the bed, still naked. Tori hugged him from behind, placing her hands on Henry's strong chest. She gave a little kiss on her boyfriend's broad, strong back and asked in a whisper:
"What are you thinking about, my love?"
Henry smiled and answered:
"I'm thinking about a rat that's been around the mansion, I think I need to eliminate it before it enters the mansion. I'm right, right?"
Tori nodded with a smile on her lips:
"Yes, you're right... I don't like rats, they're a pest and they carry diseases... I don't want to come to your house and see a rat."
Henry laughed out loud, turned around and kissed Tori's pink lips.
"Then I'll eliminate that disgusting, smelly rat once and for all so that it won't appear in front of you."
