System's POV

Chapter 624: Mail To Order Bride 



Thirteen felt light taps on his cheek, which made him open his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Erica looking down at him, making him blink in confusion.

"Rise and shine," Erica said. "The second half of the Auction is about to start."

It took a while for her words to register inside his head. When he remembered that he was inside the auction house, he casually propped himself up and looked at Erica.

"Thanks for the lap pillow," Thirteen replied.

Erica smiled and showed him her palm. "Pay up. My legs are worth more than gold, you know?"

"How much?"

"A hundred thousand gold coins."

"So cheap."

The corner of Erica's lips twitched. She didn't think that this would be Zion's response. For some reason, she felt like he had called her a cheap woman, which made her want to pinch his waist to oblivion.

Seeing that she might do something reckless, Thirteen decided to butter her up for a bit so that things wouldn't escalate in the wrong direction.

"As payment for letting me rest properly, I'll buy you one item from the auction," Thirteen replied.

Just as he expected, his words made Erica look at him in surprise.

"Anything?" Erica asked in a teasing tone.

"Anything," Thirteen replied.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Erica smiled. "Good! Don't go back on your word, okay?"

Thirteen nodded and looked at the stage, where the hostess of the auction was located.

"The short break has ended, and we will now resume the second round of the auction," Dorothy said with a smile.

Behind her, the curtains of the stage parted, revealing a two-meter-tall monster that made Thirteen and Erica glance at each other in surprise.

"This is an extremely rare mutated monster that cannot be usually seen in the wild," Dorothy stated. "And this isn't an Avatar, but a real monster recently captured in the Cygni Continent.

"According to our records, this monster is called a Blaze Chad Skunk. However, since it is female, it is better referred to as a Blaze Stacy Skunk. It is a Rank 5 Sovereign and a very powerful monster in its own right.

"Unfortunately, due to its aggressive nature and dangerous ability, we had to give it some tranquilizer shots and put it to sleep. However, the abilities it possesses will now be showcased on the projection above me."

As soon as Dorothy finished her speech, the abilities of the Blaze Stacy Skunk appeared, allowing everyone to view it freely.

Arthur and Michael, who were seated in the VIP Seats, looked at the Blaze Skunk with a weird look on their face.

They knew for a fact that Thirteen had a Blaze Chad Skunk as a Beast Companion, so seeing something like this in an auction would definitely catch his interest.

What they didn't know was that Thirteen had already summoned Giga by his side, and let him look at the Blaze Skunk inside the cage to see how he would react.

"Bro, she's the one!" Giga said as she pointed at the sleeping Blaze Skunk in the cage.

"I got you, fam," Thirteen replied. "Watch how I get you a mail-to-order bride."

Erica, who was seated beside Zion, might not be able to understand monster language...

But for some reason, she felt like she didn't need to know monster language to know what the two were talking about.

Suddenly, Dorothy's voice broke her out of her daze, pulling her focus back to the hostess of the auction house.

"Bidding starts at two hundred thousand gold coins," Dorothy declared. "The increment will be ten thousand gold minimum. Bidding starts now!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred fifty!"

"Four hundred!"

Thirteen didn't even think twice and made his bid.

"Five million," Thirteen declared.

The bidders who were only curious about the monster all looked in the direction of VIP Room Number 13 with shock.

"Five million for a Rank 5 monster? Is he insane?"

"Maybe it's just a young master who has too much money on his hands."

"Is this monster perhaps something special? This is the first time I've seen and heard about a Blaze Stacy Skunk. Maybe it's special?"

The people in the VIP Rooms used their connections to know who was seated in the VIP Room Number 13.

It didn't take long for them to get the information that they were looking for.

"Your grandson sure has a unique taste," Claude said to Arthur. "It seems that the Leventis Family spoiled him too much."

Arthur wasn't in the mood to reply to Claude and simply remained silent. His no-good

grandson was a special presence in the Leventis Family.

With his help, they were able to mine precious minerals, ores, and resources in the Rigel Continent without the need to share them with anyone.

The Earth Dragons also had a good relationship with Zion.

The measly five million gold coins he bid for the Blaze Skunk was merely pocket change for the current Leventis Family, who was earning billions of gold coins due to their profitable business in the Rigel Continent.

Seeing that Arthur didn't want to reply, Claude decided to mess around for a bit.

"Six Million," Claude said with a smile.

Thirteen and Giga glanced in the direction of the VIP Room Number 1 at the same time.

Clearly, they didn't expect that someone would also bid for the Blaze Skunk, so it caught their

attention.

Thirteen knew that someone from the Monarch Clans or the Prestigious Family was purposely messing with him, but instead of being angry, the corner of his lips rose up into a smirk.

"Bro..." Giga patted Thirteen's shoulder as if worried that someone would outbid his Master. "Someone actually dares to steal Giga's future wife?" Thirteen sneered. "Courting death!"

Thirteen was already hell-bent on letting Stacy meet Giga and was looking forward to seeing if the two of them would click with each other.

He didn't care who it was that decided to mess with him.

He would give his Bro a wife even if it made the Leventis Family go bankrupt!
