System's POV

Vincent was someone who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Seeing that he was at a great disadvantage, he gave Shasha a wink before running away in haste.

Shasha found this quite amusing, and curiously watched as the young man ran around, being chased by countless young men.

Thirteen, who was watching the bastard run away, also noticed a few young women in the group chasing him.

Whether these girls were fans of Shasha or girls who liked Vincent because of his good looks, the teenage boy didn't really care.

Vincent left the Colosseum in haste, knowing full well that he might have offended all of Shasha's admirers. However, a man needed to do what a man needed to do, so he made his declaration known to the world regardless of the consequences of his actions.

When everything settled down, Thirteen shifted his attention to his brother, Mikhail, and waited for him to tell him his wish.

However, Mikhail only said that he would ask for his wish another time because he still hadn't thought of what he wanted at this time.

Thirteen nodded in understanding before looking at Char and Shasha.

Before Shasha could even say her wish, Char took a step forward and made a declaration.

"I wish for you to become my fiance, Zion Leventis!" Char said as she pointed at the teenage boy on the stage.

Thirteen, his siblings, and his family, as well as everyone in the Colosseum and the viewers watching from home, all looked at her in disbelief.

They thought that Vincent's marriage proposal was already enough. But now, the beautiful young lady, who was also a well-known celebrity, just also proposed, asking Zion to be her fiance as a reward.

Erica, who was still a little upset about what happened a day ago, forgot her grievances with Zion and glared at Char.

Clearly, she didn't like what she heard, making her hair stand up on end as if something important to her was about to be taken away.

However, before she could even do anything to the thieving cat, Shasha took a step forward and made her wish known.

"Zion, my wish is for you to cancel her wish," Shasha said icily. "I will not allow anyone to become your fiance unless she gains my approval."

"Wish granted," Thirteen, who was more than happy to get away from the sticky situation, replied without hesitation.

Char, whose wish had been denied, didn't seem angry. In fact, she covered her lips with her hand and giggled as if she thoroughly enjoyed what had transpired after she made her wish.

Erica, who was about to erupt earlier, finally calmed down.

Her emotions had not been stable as of late, so she wasn't confident that she would be able to stop herself from attacking Char to vent the anger and frustration that she was feeling at that time.

When Thirteen's gaze finally landed on her and Mildred, Erica blanked out.

She hadn't seen Zion since her outburst several hours ago, so seeing him look at her with an encouraging look made her heart skip a beat.

Seeing that Erica was not saying anything, Mildred took a step forward and made her wish.

"I want a Mythical Weapon," Mildred said, her tone casual as if Mythical Weapons were cabbages that could be bought at the local market.

The Monarch Clans, the Prestigious Families, the audience, and the viewers, couldn't help but laugh at Mildred's antics.

They found this quite amusing and were even looking forward to Zion's answer.

There were only six Mythical Equipment in Pangea, and they all belonged to the Monarch Clans and the Head of the Central Government.

At least, this was the information the public had access to.

They were not aware that the Leventis Family already had five Mythical Equipment in their possession.

Four of them were in the possession of Arthur and Lady Callista.

While the fifth was the weapon that Gerald had crafted in Solterra.

If everyone knew that Five Mythical Equipment were in the possession of a single family, it might lead to a full-scale war, which would put the Leventis Family in a bad position.

"Sure," Thirteen replied. "I'll give you a Mythical Weapon. But, you can only have it once you are at the Champion Rank."

Currently, Mildred was only at the Peak of the Initiate Rank, close to becoming a Master.

After she became a Master, she would need two more Ranks before she could step into the Champion Rank.

For most people, being a Grandmaster was their limit.

While there were thousands of Champions in Pangea, not everyone could become a Champion just because they wanted to.

In fact, Thirteen's parents, Gerald and Alessia, had been stuck at the Grandmaster Rank for years.

If not for the teenage boy's help, they wouldn't be able to step into the Champion Rank, making themselves stronger and increasing their lifespan by a few decades.

While many were surprised by Thirteen's answer, many thought that he was merely bluffing.

However, they let this matter slide because they also believed that it would take several years before Mildred became a Champion.

Perhaps by then, someone in Pangea would truly be able to craft a Mythical Equipment, whom Zion would hire in order to grant Mildred's request.

"Make sure to keep your word, okay?" Mildred, who didn't expect that Thirteen would agree to her shameless request, placed her hands on her hips and looked at him with a smile.

"I won't," Thirteen replied. "So, make sure to survive and become a Champion."

"That's easy," Mildred said in a casual tone.

Finally, it was Erica's turn to make a wish.

Although she blanked out earlier, Mildred's wish brought her out of her daze, allowing herself to regain her composure.

With everyone's eyes looking in her direction, Erica calmed her nerves and placed her hand over her chest.

She then stared at Thirteen and held his gaze for a few seconds before making her wish.

"I want you to become my fiance," Erica declared, shocking everyone.

Vincent, who was watching what was happening inside the Colosseum through the wide LCD Screen in the city, couldn't help but give the teenage boy a salute.

"It seems that my charisma had rubbed off on him after spending some time together," Vincent said with a smile. "First, Char asked to be his fiance, and now, it's Erica. Maybe I should teach Zion some of my moves, so he will have a happy ending."

The handsome young man couldn't help but chuckle because he believed that Thirteen would owe him after he learned his secrets on how to make girls happy.

The members of the Hero Party, including Roland, who was still under recovery, couldn't help but look at Erica in disbelief.

Shana felt a pang of pain in her chest, which made her frown. She couldn't explain this feeling.

However, for some reason, she felt that something that had taken root inside of her heart was starting to grow.

"Girl, are you serious?" Mildred, who was standing beside Erica, placed her palm on her friend's forehead as if checking if she had a fever. "Do you need some medicine?"

"Scram!" Erica, whose face was already as red as a tomato, pried Mildred's hand off her head and pushed her away.

Thirteen, who was standing in the arena, blinked once then twice before glancing at Tiona, who was also glancing back at him.

Clearly, the two of them were just as shocked as everyone else because they didn't think that Erica would wish for something like this.

Shasha looked at the Sorceress and smiled faintly.

Clearly, she and her mother, Alessia, had already secretly approved of Erica to become part of their family long ago.

Sherry, who was seated on the audience stand, wasn't as shocked as everyone. She had been around both Erica and Thirteen for some time and understood the situation more than others.

"Well, what's your answer?" Erica asked, her face still beet red from embarrassment. "Stop being wishy-washy!"

Truth be told, Erica also didn't know why she wished for such a thing.

However, Char's wish earlier made her feel that if she didn't act now, someone else would steal her golden egg.

Her feelings for Zion were in disarray, and although he was younger than her by a few years, she understood that given three or four years, the teenage boy's popularity would make many vixens vie for his attention.

A silence descended inside the Colosseum as everyone waited with bated breath to hear Zion's reply to Erica's proposal.

Finally, the young man spoke up.

"Very well," Thirteen replied. "If that is really your wish then from now on, I'll be your fiance."

Countless gasps spread not only in the Colosseum but also in countless homes worldwide.

The award ceremony for the winners of the Special Event was truly shocking, making Joshua's "betrayal" of his best friend fade away from everyone's mind.

It was now replaced by the shocking proposal of the beautiful Sorceress towards the teenage boy, whose legendary feats were known to one and all.
