Luky sat in his new office in the Dragon Guard subordinate. Holographic screen displays data flow from various ongoing operations against The Consortium. The atmosphere of silence, only the sound of the keyboard was pressed with a rapid rhythm by the analysts.
Commander Ariawan entered the room, carrying a tablet. "Report from the team in the field, Boss. The third priority target, former Director of Finance C
The consortium for the Southeast Asian region has been secured in Manila. He is on the way here to be interrogated. "
"Good," Luky answered without taking his eyes off the screen. "Make sure the medical team is ready. I want him to be able to speak when he arrives."
"It's been arranged, Boss."
Suddenly, the Luky system interface emerged with unusual notifications.
[System Warning: Parameter 'Balance of Life' Hosts close to the critical threshold.]
[Pattern Analysis: Host shows a significant increase in security, strategy and financial parameters, but a drastic decline in social and interpersonal parameters.
[System Recommendation: Host must immediately allocate resources to develop aspects of human relations in order to maintain psychological stability and long -term strategic decisions.
[The new system mission is published: "Dynasty Development"]
[Description of Mission: Rating and Pouring 4 (Four) Women who meet the Elite System criteria: High intelligence, loyalty, supporting background, and superior genetic potential. Purpose: Build a strong family alliance and inherit elite premium attributes.
Prizes: +200 Character development points, strong family alliance networks, increase social status, access to the 'elite heritage' feature.
Time limit: 365 days.
Penalties (if fail): a significant decrease in emotional stability, increased vulnerability to social manipulation, potential failure in long -term missions.
Luky frowned, paused for a moment. "What? Four women?"
Ariawan saw a change in Luky's expression. "Is there a problem, boss?"
Luky raised his hand, giving a signal for Ariawan to wait. He focuses on the system. "Explain the logic behind this mission."
[Elite Premium System is designed to ensure the continuity and expansion of the influence of the host. Genetic aspects and social alliances are critical components of long -term strength. Indonesian and global socio-cultural data analysis shows that polygamy that is managed strategically can be a stable basis for dynasty strength when carried out with strict criteria. Natasha Reid has met 88% of the specified criteria. Host needs to identify and establish relationships with three other candidates.]
Luky sighed. This is no longer just a business or security affairs. This concerns his life personal. He looked at Ariawan.
"Ari, I need to do some ... adjusting personal strategy. This might sound unusual. I recommend ... expanding the circle of my personal relationships. Strategic."
Ariawan frowned, trying to understand. "You mean, like building an alliance through marriage?"
"Something like that," Luky answered. "This is not just about feelings. This is about long -term continuity. Natasha is the first. I need three others."
"Okay ..." Ariawan said, sounded carefully. "Do you already have a candidate in mind, boss?"
"No. That's the problem. The system gives criteria, but does not give a name." Luky stood up and started pacing. "I need people who can be relied upon for this. This requires a very different approach to our other operations."
"I understand, Boss. The Dragon Guard team is ready to support. What do we need to do?"
"The form of a special team. A small team, very discrete. Members of people with expertise in profile research, psychology, and social etiquette. Not to kidnap, but to gather information and create ... Opportunities for natural meetings."
"I have some people who are suitable," Ariawan said immediately. "They used to work in a high level of disguise to approach intelligence targets. I will recruit additional social specialists if needed."
"Do it. Candidate criteria: above average intelligence, excellent physical health, stable or strategic family background, proven loyalty, and ... of course, physically interesting. Ideal age: 23 to 30 years. Priority candidates from Indonesia first, but do not rule out the possibility of other countries if it is very suitable."
"Ready, Boss. I will start a search immediately." Ariawan turned to leave, then stop. "Boss ... Does Miss Natasha know about ... this plan?"
"Not yet," Luky answered, his face was serious. "That will be a challenge. That's my business. Your focus is to find the appropriate candidate."
After Ariawan left, Luky called the system. "Show interface for the 'Dynasty Development' mission."
A new panel appeared, displaying four empty slots. The first slot is filled with photos of Natasha and progress bar showing 88%. Underneath listed: *Natasha Reid - Meeting the criteria: intelligence (95%), loyalty (92%), background (80%), genetic (85%) *.
The other three slots are empty. There is a 'Potential Candidate Scan button' button.
Luky pressed the button.
[System Scanning Databases That Can Be Accessed ...]
[Warning: Scan requires 15 character points. Confirmation?]
"Confirmation."
[Scan ...]
[Potential Candidate 1 Found: Dr. Aisyah Lestari, 28 years old, a cardiologist, Jakarta Premier Hospital. Graduates of Cum Laude University of Indonesia and Johns Hopkins University. Daughter of Prof. Dr. Lestari Gunawan, Professor of Law, University of Indonesia. Status: Single. Meet the criteria: 92%.]
[Potential Candidate 2 Found: Chiara Andiani, 26 years old, world class violin player, owner of the "shades" art gallery. Putri of H. Andi Wijaya, Property Conglomerate. Graduates of the Royal Academy of Music, London. Status: Single. Meet the criteria: 89%.]
[Potential Candidate 3 Found: Major Sofia Santoso, 29 years old, helicopter pilot in Squadron 8. daughter of General (Ret.) Santoso, former Army Chief of Staff. AAU graduates with the best achievements. Status: Single. Meet the criteria: 91%.]
Luky read the three profiles. The system is not playing games. All candidates have extraordinary qualifications.
"Ari," Luky spoke through Interkom. "I already have three initial names. Dr. Aisyah Lestari, Chiara Andiani, and Major Sofia Santoso. Mobilize the team to start gathering in -depth information. I want a complete report on their routine, preferences, personality, and social circles in 48 hours."
"Received, Boss. The team will move now."
Two days later, Ariawan handed over three thick reports to Luky.
"Dr. Aisyah is very focused on his career. He spends most of his time in the hospital. He likes philosophical books and black coffee. Routine exercise at the hospital gym every 5 am before shift.
"Chiara Andiani is very social. Often attend charity events and art exhibitions. He likes classical music and wine. Routinely practicing violin every evening in his gallery. Having many friends, but not having a permanent girlfriend."
"Major Sofia served at Base Halim Perdanakusuma. He lived in the Mess Officer. His hobby flew the fighter aircraft simulator and read the thriller novel. He tends to be quiet and dislike the crowd. He will immediately reject the approach."
Luky listened carefully. "Good. Now, design a meeting scenario for each. It must look coincidence and natural."
"For Dr. Aisyah, we can arrange a small 'accident' in the gym. A team member can pretend to faint and need emergency medical help when only he is there. You can 'coincidentally' passed to visit the same hospital executive."
"For Chiara, we can buy one of the paintings in his gallery at a premium price. You can come personally to take it and invite him to discuss about art."
"For Major Sofia, this is more difficult. Maybe through his father, General (Ret.) Santoso. You can invite the General to be an honorary advisor to the Dragon Guard, and 'accidentally' met Sofia in a family event."
"Agree for Aisyah and Chiara. For Sofia, find a more direct way. I don't want to be seen using her father. Maybe through the army? Has he ever attended public events?"
"Yes, Boss. He sometimes becomes a speaker at the Seminar of Aerospace."
"Fine. Look for the nearest seminar schedule where he is the speaker. I will be present."
The plan was executed.
Meeting with Dr. Aisha went smoothly. A "patient" fainted in the gym, Luky who happened to be by helping to take him to the ER, and met with Aisyah who was on guard. They spoke briefly about the importance of health.
With Chiara, Luky visited his gallery and bought an expensive abstract painting. They talked about music and art for almost an hour. Luky invited him to drink coffee next time, and Chiara accepted him.
The meeting with Sofia took place in an aerospace seminar. Luky sat in the front row and asked technical questions about the future of a military helicopter that made Sofia impressed. They talked briefly after the seminar.
Luky reported its development to the system.
[Progress of Mission "Dynasty Development":
Candidate: Dr. Aisyah Lestari - Status: identified, has met. Interest rate: 35%.
Candidate: Chiara Andiani - Status: identified, has met. Interest rate: 40%.
Candidate: Major Sofia Santoso - Status: identified, has met. Interest rate: 30%.
Candidate: Natasha Reid - Status: In relationships. Interest rate: 95%.]
The next step is the planned date carefully. Luky uses the 'Simulation Strategy' feature to predict the results of various approaches.
For Aisha, simulation shows that intellectual discussions about medical ethics and health technology will be the most effective. Luky arranged dinner at a calm restaurant with a view of the city.
For Chiara, the simulation suggested a date at a private room music concert, followed by Wine Tasting. Luky rented a small concert room and invited a well -known classical music group to play exclusively.
For Sofia, the simulation recommends challenging adrenaline activities. Luky invited him to try Dragon Guard's sophisticated flight simulator which is usually used to train his pilot.
Each date goes successfully, assisted by Luky's deep knowledge about the interests of each woman, obtained from the team's report and his abilities that have been improved.
Meanwhile, Luky also had to face Natasha.
They were having dinner at Natasha's apartment. "Luky, lately you look ... very busy. Even more than usual," Natasha said, trying to read Luky's face.
Luky took a deep breath. "Nat, there's something I have to talk about with you. This ... is not conventional." He explained about the "pressure of the system" to build a strong and stable alliance for the long term, and that it means establishing a relationship with other women as well.
Natasha was silent for a long time, her face did not show an expression. "So ... this is not about love? This is about ... Strategy? Genetic?" His voice trembled.
"That was the beginning, Nat. But with you, it's different. I love you. That's real. The other ... is an obligation. A mission. I need your strength in this. I need you to understand."
"Understanding? Luky, you ask me to understand that you will marry another woman?" Natasha stood up, walking to the window. "This is crazy."
"I know. But our world is crazy, Nat. The consortium, this system ... I must use every tool that exists to survive and win. And to build a safe future. For all of us."
"And what about my feelings? The feelings of other women? Will they only be a 'tool' for you?"
"No. I will treat them with respect and honesty. They will know about each other. There will be no secrets. This will be a partnership, a family, not just harem."
Natasha looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. "I need time to think about this, Luky. This ... Too big."
"I understand. Take your time."
A few days passed. Luky continued his "mission" with three other women, while waiting for Natasha's answer.
Progress is achieved. Aisha's interest rate rose to 65% after Luky donated sophisticated medical equipment to his hospital and was involved in an in -depth discussion of the future of medicine.
The level of interest in Chiara reached 70% after they attended several joint art events and Luky showed sincere appreciation of his work.
Sofia's interest rate jumped to 75% after they flew a helicopter together in a tense battle simulation exercise.
Luky checks the system.
[Progress of Mission "Dynasty Development":
Candidate 1: Dr. Aisyah Lestari - Interest rate: 65%.
Candidate 2: Chiara Andiani - Interest rate: 70%.
Candidate 3: Major Sofia Santoso - Interest rate: 75%.
Candidate 4: Natasha Reid - Interest rate: 85% (down from 95%).]
The decline in Natasha was painful.
Finally, Natasha called. "Luky, we need to talk."
They met in a park near Natasha's apartment.
"I've thought," Natasha said, her voice was calm but firm. "I love you, Luky. More than anything. And I understand the pressure you are experiencing. Your world is not a normal world." He took a breath. "If this is what must be done to make you safe, to win this war ... then I will accept it. But with one condition."
"What are the conditions, Nat?"
"I'm the first. I'm the main. And you have to be honest with me about everything. Forever."
"That's my promise, Nat. You're always the main thing." Luky hugged him tightly. "Thank You."
With the blessing of Natasha, Luky felt more relieved. He can now focus more on three other candidates.
He arranged meetings with each woman to discuss serious topics.
First, with Dr. Aisha in a lonely research laboratory.
"Aisha, what do you think about polygamy?" Luky asked suddenly.
Aisha was surprised. "Polygamy? Medically and socially, it's complex. Why ask?"
"Because I am interested in you. And I already have one future wife. An extraordinary woman named Natasha."
Aisha looked at him, trying to understand whether this was a joke. "You're serious?"
"Very serious. My life ... full of big responsibilities. I need a strong, intelligent, and trustworthy partner on my side. You are one of them."
