System's POV - Chapter 856

Chapter 856: Thirteen’s Goal [Part 1]
As soon as he got out of the shower, Thirteen found himself hugged by two beautiful ladies, who had been waiting inside his room without his notice.

‘I’m sure I locked the door of my room earlier,’ Thirteen thought. ‘Did Erica use her skill to unlock it?’

The teenage boy didn’t bother to think about this matter too much since he didn’t mind having the two ladies with him.

He accepted Sherry’s deep kiss on the lips, which he returned with a kiss of his own.

“Feeling better?” Thirteen asked as he hugged the young lady in his arms.

“Yes,” Sherry replied. “Much better.”

“Good.” Thirteen planted a kiss on her forehead before shifting his attention to Erica, who was patiently waiting for her turn.

Exchanging kisses had already been a routine for the three of them, and the one who pushed for it was none other than Erica and Sherry.

They believed that no matter how hard the ice covering Zion’s heart, they could melt it with human touch.

Fortunately, they were right, and Thirteen reciprocated them.

This made the two ladies feel like their efforts had been worth it. They also couldn’t help but love the teenage boy even more since they understood that he was doing this for their sake.

When Thirteen’s and Erica’s kiss finally ended, the teenage boy hugged the two ladies closer to him and closed his eyes.

He liked feeling their warmth because it made him feel “more human”.

Although he was tired from working hard to create the power suits for those who were part of his inner circle, the presence of the two ladies gave him a bit of strength to last until nighttime.

“Erica, can’t you wait until tonight?” Thirteen asked. “Your hands are touching something you shouldn’t touch until later.”

“Fine,” Erica replied, but she still kept prodding little Zion, who was starting to react to her touch.

If Thirteen were any other man, he might have folded then and there and allowed the Sorceress to have her way.

But he wasn’t an ordinary human.

Thirteen had already seen Gods and Goddesses, whose beauty had surpassed human standards. Also, since he was a System, he was practically immune to charms and similar abilities.

It was very easy for him to resist any kind of temptation, even if there were tens of thousands of naked beautiful girls in front of him.

He might even say, “Aren’t you ladies cold? Go wear some clothes,” which would probably make all of them spit at him for being dense.

After giving Erica’s backside a light squeeze as punishment, Thirteen pulled back and went to his closet to choose some clothes to wear.

He had just picked out a random shirt, shorts, and underwear because he didn’t really care about fashion and the like.

As long as they were comfortable to wear, he was fine with wearing anything.

After placing his clothes on the bed, Thirteen disrobed and handed the towel to Sherry.

On the other hand, Erica helped him wear his clothes, like a loving wife helping her husband.

A few minutes later, the three left the room and went to the living room to meet his parents.

However, the moment he arrived, he noticed that someone had come to their house uninvited.

The teenage boy sighed in his heart, but since his grandfather was already there, he had no choice but to meet him.

“Finally, you’re here,” Arthur scoffed. “Do you know how long I waited for you to leave your laboratory?”

“Gramps, calm down,” Thirteen said before sitting on the couch with his lovers.

Erica sat on his right side, while Sherry sat on his left. Both ladies held the teenage boy’s hands, which didn’t escape the old man’s sight.

“Okay Gramps,” Thirteen stared at the old man with an exhausted look on his face. “What do you want?”

Arthur glanced at the two ladies before frowning. He had important matters to talk to Zion, and having unrelated people might complicate things.

Perhaps understanding what he was thinking, Thirteen made sure to speak up for them.

“Erica and Sherry are my future wives,” Thirteen declared. “In my eyes, they are my family. Since they’re family, there’s no need to talk in secrecy. Speak your mind, Gramps.”

“You little rascal,” Arthur sighed. “Fine, you win. I’m sure you already know the reason why I’m here.”

“No, I don’t. So enlighten me.”

“It’s about sharing confidential information with the Central Government.”

“Ah. You’re talking about that.”

Thirteen eyed the Patriarch of the Leventis Family and understood what his grandfather was thinking.

“Gramps, why are you so impatient?” Thirteen asked. “Is fame and influence that important to you right now?”

“Zion, the Leventis Family have already been enduring for years,” Arthur replied. “It’s time to change the status quo.”

This time, it was Thirteen’s to sigh. He knew how ambitious his grandfather was.

However, no matter how powerful and influential Arthur was, there would always be one person restricting him.

This person was none other than his Grandson, who had become the most important person in their family.

The teenage boy glanced at Michael and Hans, who were standing behind Arthur. Both of them kept silent and only listened to the conversation.

Michael was the second-in-command of the Leventis Family, while Hans was there to make sure that Thirteen’s Grandmother, Lady Callista, would know what had transpired during this meeting.

Both of them were there to spectate, leaving Arthur and Zion to deal with each other.

“Gramps, do you want to hasten the destruction of the Leventis Family?” Thirteen inquired. “While the Central Government wouldn’t watch to see that happen, what you’re trying to do right now is invite trouble when you should be sharpening your fangs for the real battle up ahead.

“You should be wiser than this. Why are you acting so impatient? Did Grandma make you sleep on the floor or something?”

Gerald, who was pretending to watch TV with Rhia, suddenly burst out in laughter. Clearly, he was very happy to witness his son give his father a hard time.

For him, Zion was a treasure of their family. A treasure that Arthur wouldn’t dare to break, even if his face had already turned beet red out of anger.

“Zion, what is your real goal?” Arthur asked. He ignored his no-good grandson’s taunt earlier because that wasn’t important.

He could accept Zion’s ridicule, contempt, and taunts. But he couldn’t endure the feeling of uncertainty that he was feeling.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the mighty Patriarch of the Leventis Family felt like he was only dancing on the palm of his no-good grandson’s hand.

If Zion wanted to destroy their family, he could destroy it easily.

If he wanted their family to rise, he could do that as well.

Arthur even believed that if his grandson wished to become the ruler of the world, it would happen without a doubt.

This was why he wanted to know just what was going on inside Zion’s head.

The Patriarch of the Leventis Family believed that if he wanted his family to survive, he should not defy Zion’s wishes and stay in line with his goals in life.

This was also the reason why he asked what his real goal was.

Knowing it would allow him to make the right decisions, which would ensure the prosperity of the Leventis Family for many years to come.
