Chapter 1467: All Of You Are Fools

"How long have I been sleeping?"

That was the first thing Thirteen asked as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Four days," Stella replied, while lightly patting his head. "How are you feeling?"

"Good," Thirteen replied. "I feel so comfortable right now. You’re so soft, Stella."

Stella’s face reddened a bit, feeling the teenage boy’s face rest on her chest. Both of them were on the bed, and there was still an hour before sunrise.

The young lady had woken up early after sensing that Thirteen would be waking up soon. As such, she wanted him to be able to talk to her as soon as he opened his eyes.

"As long as you’re comfortable," Stella said in a small voice.

Tiona was hugging Thirteen from behind, pretending to be asleep. She simply listened to the two talking to each other, a good way to make progress in their relationship with each other.

When it came to relationship with Zion, Tiona already maxed hers already, so she was giving Stella more time to be intimate with their lover.

While Thirteen rested in comfort, Stella told him everything that happened while he was sleeping.

She told him about the meeting between the Celestial and Fiends, as well as how the Keys were to be handled.

The young lady added that Forneus was starting to get cranky while waiting for him to wake up.

"Forneus said that you’re the only mortal who dares to make him wait," Stella giggled.

"Let him wait," Thirteen replied before kissing the soft mound in front of him. "He was born to wait."

"Oh... don’t." Stella tried to cover her lips to prevent her voice from escaping. Thirteen’s lips, and hands were getting naughty so early in the morning. "Tiona is here. What will you do if she wakes up?"

"Then we’ll let her join us."

"D-Don’t be unreasonable."

But despite saying no, Stella didn’t resist Thirteen’s advances.

As if waiting for the right moment, Tiona opened her eyes, and joined Thirteen in making Stella squirm, until the no-longer-innocent young lady nearly passed out from pleasure.

A few minutes later, Thirteen sighed as he soaked on the bathtub, while hugging Stella from behind.

Her legs had already turned to jelly, and could no longer move. She had been at Thirteen’s and Tiona’s complete mercy.

Her body would shudder from time to time, as Zion’s hand caressed her most intimate places, while leaving his kiss mark on her neck, shoulder, and back.

After sleeping for four days, he felt completely energized and was in the mood to give Stella the love that he couldn’t give her during the time he was unconscious.

Stella leaned against his chest, her face still flushed but breathing slowly returning to normal. Tiona sat across from them, enjoying her soak on the bathtub that could easily fit six people.

"You’re too much..." Stella muttered weakly. "I told you to stop many times."

"You say no, but your other lips are saying yes," Thirteen replied in a teasing tone. "Which one should I believe?"

"Meanie."

"I was asleep for four days. That’s four days worth of affection."

"That’s not how it works," Stella protested, though her voice lacked conviction.

In the end, she decided to ignore Thirteen’s teasing and allowed him to do whatever he pleased with her body.

Perhaps knowing that Stella had truly reached her limit, he decided to stop teasing her. Instead, he hugged her, making her know that she was very important to him.

Stella liked this type of skinship the most. Even with a simple hug, she could feel Zion’s warmth, and feeling of wanting to keep her by his side.

She even turned around, so that the two of them could see each other face to face.

"I like you Zion," Stella said with a flushed face. "I really do."

"I like you too, Stella," Thirteen replied before pressing his lips to her.

The two shared a sweet kiss that lasted for only three seconds. But it felt so good that Stella asked him to kiss her a few more times.

Naturally, Thirteen complied and made the young lady the happiest girl in the world, even for a brief moment.

Somewhere in Solterra...

After traveling for four days, Mammon and Barman were finally able to return to the main continent.

It had been a very long journey, so the two decided to rest for a few hours the moment they landed on land.

"Things deviated a bit, but the end result is still the same." Barman smirked before sitting on a boulder. "For a moment, I thought Zaphiel already won. That really scared me."

"I know, right?" Mammon chuckled. "It was a very close call. Good thing, the portal closed. We have to thank Zion for that."

"If I were in Zaphiel’s place, I could have done it better," Barman shook his head. "He should have not underestimated his enemies. Even so, that Wanderer did surprise me."

Mammon had no choice but to agree to Barman’s statement. That battle was truly an eye opener. Who would have thought that a mere Wanderer possessed such miraculous powers?

"Well, then. Where should we hide the keys first?" Barman asked before taking out a wine jug from his storage ring. "We must make sure that no one finds them so easily."

The Celestial then half-filled his wine glass and started to swirl the wine inside of it.

"Oh, you don’t have to worry about that," Mammon replied. "I know just the place."

The moment Barman drank the wine in his glass, Mammon took action.

He took out a golden pagoda and pressed it on Barman’s body, taking the latter by surprise.

"M-Mammon... you!" Barman was unable to say more because his body shrank and was forced inside the golden Pagoda, trapping him in place.

"Sorry, Barman," Mammon chuckled. "Nothing personal. You guys should have known better than leaving me these keys that could open a treasury. Have you forgotten that I’m the Fiend of Greed?"

After saying those words, Mammon grabbed the wine bottle and chugged it until all its contents disappeared.

He then jumped on a giant golden coin before flying away towards the center of the continent.

"Fools," Mammon muttered. "All of you are fools."

The Fiend of Greed couldn’t believe that a pie had fallen from the sky. He was opportunistic in nature, so the moment he saw that there was an opportunity to benefit from this incident, he decided to enact his long awaited plan.

He believed that the Keys would give him what he wanted, so he played his cards well until they fell into his hands.

Back at the Fortunate Isles, a faint smile appeared on Thirteen’s face as he laid the sleeping Stella on the bed.

He then glanced towards the north, as if seeing where Mammon was going.

From the very start, Thirteen never trusted anyone of the Celestials and Fiends. However, the one he trusted the least was Mammon.

He was the Fiend of Greed, and just like his namesake, he was truly greedy.

"Tiona," Thirteen said. "Tell everyone to head to the main continent. The time has finally come to put an end to everything."

"Yes, Master," Tiona replied.

The teenage boy couldn’t help but smile like a villain because a big surprise would be waiting for Mammon the moment he arrived in Pandora’s Treasury.
