System's POV

Chapter 1419: If You Make Her Cry, I Will Make You Cry

"More meat!"

"Cinnamon wants more meat!"

"Okay. Be patient. I’ll be done in a bit."

The sound of sizzling meat was enough to whet the appetite of Maple and Cinnamon.

Chiffon had also joined her daughters in the all-meat buffet Thirteen was cooking for them.

Out of curiosity, William’s other wives also decided to join them for lunch. The situation made Stella anxious, worried that Zion’s food would end up tasting like bubblegum again. No normal tongue would enjoy a gum flavored hot meat.

Fortunately, Thirteen was using two grillers. One was for Maple, Cinnamon, and Chiffon, and the other one was for the "normal" people.

Stella even went as far as to taste the portion that he was cooking for the twins and confirmed that they were indeed bubble-gum flavored.

To her relief, the other portion was for human consumption. A single bite from that side was enough to heal Stella’s heart. The taste was certainly the best she had ever tasted when it came to grilled meat.

Thirteen’s precise cooking calculation was truly unprecedented.

Normal humans couldn’t comprehend the true power of his cooking, which was why they could only taste bubblegum when they tasted it.

But for Maple, Cinnamon, and Chiffon, the bubblegum flavored meat didn’t taste like bubblegum.

It tasted like heaven.

"To think that I will be able to eat Zion’s cooking everyday after she marries Stella." Chiffon sighed in happiness. "I’m so happy to be alive."

"Big Brother’s cooking is the best!" Maple declared.

"Cinnamon believes in Big Brother’s cooking!" Cinnamon voiced her support.

Since a portion of the power of faith was still in Thirteen’s system, he used the power of the Skip God to instantly cook all the meat that was piled right beside him.

The all-you-can-eat meat buffet had raised his reputation among William’s wives, and some of them were still doing their best to play matchmaker for their own daughters.

Belle ate quietly beside Stella. She didn’t feel threatened by her sisters trying to marry off their daughters to Zion.

The teenage boy had firmly rejected their proposals, and even Raizel, one of William’s most beautiful, bold, and seductive daughters, failed to get his interest.

What they didn’t know was that Thirteen had no intention of having more lovers.

He made Stella an exception since her thread of destiny was tied to him.

"Wow! I feel full!" Maple patted her belly in satisfaction.

"Cinnamon is full too!" Cinnamon imitated her sister in patting her belly.

"I’m full as well!" Chiffon was extremely satisfied. Actually, she was very surprised. It was extremely rare for her and her daughters to feel truly satiated.

The three of them carried the Sin of Gluttony, so it was nearly impossible for them to feel this way.

This meant Thirteen’s cooking was so powerful that even their Sin was satisfied with his cooking prowess.

Finally, it was time to say goodbye.

"Zion, feel free to visit us anytime," Chiffon said with a smile. "You will always be welcome here."

The women around him all nodded their heads in agreement.

"Where’s Papa?" Stella asked. "Will he not see us off?"

"I’m sure that he’s sulking somewhere right now," Belle replied. "But don’t worry. He loves you very much. He just can’t say goodbye to you right now because he doesn’t know how to face Zion."

"Who said that I don’t know how to face this punk?"

Everyone turned in the direction where the voice came from, and they saw the Half-Elf walking in their direction.

Thirteen looked at the Godslayer, who still looked like he wanted to have a piece of him, with a straight face.

"Be honest, do you love my daughter or not?" William asked.

"I like her," Thirteen replied.

"But that’s not love, right?"

"You’re right."

Thirteen didn’t want to form a relationship built on lies, so he came clean and told the truth.

"But since you did all that just to get our blessing, you do plan to take your relationship with her seriously, am I right?" William narrowed his eyes.

"Yes," Thirteen answered. "That’s the plan."

That confirmation was enough for Stella to lower her head to hide the blush that was creeping on her face.

Zion was a man of his word.

If he said that he would take their relationship seriously, then he would take their relationship seriously.

"Just remember this," William declared. "If you make her cry, I will make you cry."

Thirteen knew that the Half-Elf didn’t like him. This was understandable especially because of what transpired between them.

But he could understand his point of view since he would have done the same if he were to meet Shasha’s, Remi’s, and Rhia’s suitors.

"Understood." Thirteen nodded.

The Half-Elf nodded back and reached out for a handshake. Thirteen accepted the gesture and shook his hand.

The ladies around them smiled faintly because it seemed that the two had come to a compromise.

They also liked Zion’s attitude, and the fact that he was able to fight their husband on even terms.

Very few individuals were capable of doing such a feat, and this was one of the reasons why they approved of him.

Maple and Cinnamon then started to move their hands in a circular manner.

A portal slowly manifested in front of them, leading to the world of Solterra.

Based on the memory they had taken from their sister, they planned to send the two back to the exact location where they had been before they were pulled to the world of Hestia.

"You can now both enter the portal," Maple declared.

"Cinnamon will come to play with you soon, Big Brother!" Cinnamon stated.

"Sure." Thirteen replied before patting the head of the two gluttons before reaching out to hold Stella’s hand. "Let’s go."

"Un." Stella shyly gave her reply, and allowed Zion to pull her towards the portal.

William watched this scene with his arms crossed over his chest.

He had reluctantly agreed for his daughter to have a relationship with Thirteen. To his annoyance, he was starting to think that the two looked good together.

It was as if they were a match made in heaven, which made his liver feel itchy.

When the two crossed over to the world of Solterra, they reappeared outside of the cave where they had entered.

A moment later, they both heard a loud roar, as the Immortal Fiend, Forneus, glared at the two of them for making him wait for a very long time.
