Ethan breathed deeply, but he forced himself not to act on his desire. He turned away from the tempting sight of Martha and walked toward the window, peering out. He observed the alley and the partially visible back of Alfred's pickup truck. Everything looked normal, but his heart pounded as if something terrible was about to happen.

He turned back around, and Martha was suddenly standing right beside him.

"I'm so sorry for making you use that medicine on Alfred. We thank you so much, and we will do everything we can to pay you back." She paused, her voice dropping to a husky whisper as she leaned in close to his ear. "Everything we can to pay you back."

Ethan's skin instantly prickled, and his cock became completely rigid.

He felt a soft hand close around his erection through his pants.

"Do you need some help with this, my boy?"

Ethan couldn't resist. He grabbed her, pulling her close, and kissed her passionately. Their tongues intertwined aggressively. He massaged her buttocks with one hand and kneaded her breasts with the other.

Martha wasted no time, moving her hand up and down, further exciting Ethan, who was completely lost in the pleasure.

As they kissed, a flash of clarity—the image of Alfred's unconscious face—slammed back into his mind. He pulled Martha away, his breathing ragged. "I'm sorry. I can't do this... This is wrong. Very wrong. I can't do this to old Alfred."

He spun around and bolted from the room. Lilly saw him pass at lightning speed; she tried to shout his name, but Ethan didn't stop. He ran down the stairs and out of the house.

Lilly did not follow him. Instead, she walked into the room where Martha was standing, a predatory smile already on her face.

"You couldn't help yourself, could you, you old slut?"

Martha smiled, her eyes gleaming. "You know the boy has always made me hot ever since we first met him. It's a miracle I managed to hold out until now without devouring him."

"I know, but you promised his cock would be mine first. Don't forget that. I'll screw him first, and then you can have him."

Martha raised an eyebrow, a challenging glint in her eyes. "You should hurry, because he was strong just now. Who knows? Maybe next time he'll give in and give that juicy, huge cock to me. I'll tell you one thing: I felt it, and it's the biggest I've ever seen. Are you sure you want that cock for your first time?"

Lilly nodded fiercely, her gaze unwavering. "I don't care if it splits my cunt in two or leaves me in a wheelchair. I decided he would be my only man, and I'm not changing my mind."

Ethan ran out of the house, his heart pounding a frantic rhythm of shame and desire. He didn't stop until he reached the relative safety of the alley outside the pizzeria, where he leaned against the cold brick wall, panting heavily.

[Look at you, Champion! Running away like a little girl! You're a wimp! A chicken-shit! You had a woman literally open her cunt for you, a woman who already has points attached to her, and you said no!] the System's voice mocked him mercilessly.

Ethan leaned his head back, his eyes closed. "I can't do that to old Alfred," Ethan finally said, the words strained and full of guilt. "I feel awful just for kissing her. I feel like I failed both Lilly and Mr. Alfred."

[You are so naive, Ethan. You still don't see the signs. You're blind.]

"What signs?" Ethan demanded, his eyes snapping open. "What are you talking about?"

[You'll know soon, but it is not the moment yet,] the System only replied cryptically.

Ethan sighed, too emotionally exhausted to argue. He said nothing, pulling himself away from the wall.

As he looked down the alley toward the street, he noticed several figures approaching the pizzeria. They first lingered near his BMW, looking inside, clearly contemplating theft. Deciding the car was too much trouble, they moved toward the closed storefront of the pizzeria. They were carrying sticks, rocks, and steel bars.

They clearly intended to destroy the place. Ethan watched, his previous guilt momentarily forgotten, as they began to slam the steel bars against the security mesh and smash the already broken windows, frantically trying to force their way inside.

The sight—the destruction aimed at the people who had protected him—snapped his emotional chaos into singular, deadly focus. His guilt over almost sleeping with Martha, and the burning memory of Alfred's bleeding forehead, fueled a blinding rage.

He bolted from the alley, screaming at the top of his lungs. "HEY! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THERE!"

The thugs—seven men in total—turned, startled by the sudden, furious intervention. They immediately confronted him, hurling threats and insults, recognizing him as the young man who had interfered before.

"Look who it is! The rich little hero is back to play tough! We're going to end you this time!" shouted one of the thugs, swinging a heavy, spiked bat.

In that instant, Ethan thought of Alfred's bloodied face and activated his power. "Harder Than Steel!" he thought, and he felt the familiar, dense hardening of his entire musculature.

The thug's bat swung hard and fast, aimed for Ethan's head. Ethan raised his forearm instinctively to block. Instead of his arm shattering, the wooden bat snapped and splintered into pieces against his skin with a loud CRACK.

Ethan didn't hesitate. He was too angry, too focused. With his body impervious and his mind running on pure, lethal vengeance, he charged into the group, a whirlwind of fists and elbows.

The thugs tried to retaliate, swinging steel bars and wooden clubs, but the blows simply glanced off Ethan's skin. A steel pipe, aimed at his ribs, crumpled slightly upon impact, leaving Ethan completely unfazed.

He delivered a brutal, merciless beating. His punches were devastating, shattering jaws and collapsing cheekbones. The thugs screamed, not from mere pain, but from the terrifying realization that their weapons were useless against this human wall of flesh and iron. Ethan fought with the savage intensity of a man who had lost all his inner constraints.
