Chapter 791  Engagement Party [Part 1]

As Thirteen continued to modify his Attack Helicopters, the days passed by like a fleeting breeze.

It was already time for the engagement ceremony, which Zion's family had been looking forward to very much.

Erica's parents would also be present at the party and were already being escorted to the venue by Gerald and the other Elites of the Leventis Family.

"You've really grown, Zion," Alessia said as she helped her son tie his necktie. "In a few years, you're going to get married and have children."

"You seem more excited than me, Mother," Thirteen replied as he remained completely still, allowing the beautiful woman to finish tying his necktie properly.

"Of course, I'm excited," Alessia replied. "You're going to get engaged today, and Erica is a very good choice as a wife. Your brother, Mikhail, is good at fighting, but he's really no good when it comes to wooing ladies. "I'm very worried about him. If only he inherited some of your boldness, he might have already introduced his girlfriend to me and your father. As for Shasha…"

Alessia sighed and could no longer continue whatever she was going to say next.

Her daughter was extremely popular and had already received countless love letters from the most eligible young men of the current age.

She could pick anyone she liked if she wanted.

However, there was a problem.

Alessia felt that her husband would beat the crap out of anyone, who would try to ask for Shasha's hand for marriage.

"I can still remember what happened to that handsome young man, Vincent, when he approached your father, asking for Shasha's hand for marriage." Alessia sighed a second time.

A faint smile appeared on Zion's face as he recalled the scene of Vincent being repeatedly smacked by his father, who refused to allow a playboy to even touch a single strand of his precious daughter's hair.

Fortunately, Gerald beat Zion into making a move, smacking Vincent to oblivion. The teenage boy was already holding a shotgun in his hand at that time. If he had made a move first… Although the ammunition was mere rubber bullets, it would still be enough to bring Vincent into a world of pain once Zion pulled the trigger.

Clearly, he also didn't want Vincent to get close to his sister.

The reason?

Zion was already convinced that the young man was the reincarnation of his former host and best friend, Vincent.

The same best friend who had managed to get over a hundred ladies pregnant with his child. Even though he cared about his "best friend" when he was still a system and got along with him relatively well, he would not allow the handsome playboy to even land first base on his sister.

Whom their family treasured very much.

"Don't worry, Mother," Thirteen said with a smile. "I promise that if Pops fails to kill Vincent, I most certainly will."

"Oh, Zion. How can you be like this as well?" Alessia pinched her son's cheeks lightly because he was being unreasonable just like her husband.

"Mother, shouldn't we get going?" Thirteen asked. "We might arrive late at the party."

"You're right." Alessia looked at the clock on the wall before kissing Zion's cheek. "Make sure to behave at the party, okay?"

"Okay." Thirteen nodded.

Currently, Erica and Sherry weren't in their residence.

They were at the Main Residence of the Leventis Family, living under the care of Zion's Grandma, Lady Callista.

The doting grandmother was also very satisfied with Erica, so she decided to take it upon herself to make the Sorceress the star of the show by dressing her up.

Of course, she also made sure that Sherry would also make an impression during the party because she was fond of the latter as well.

When Zion and Alessia arrived at the scene, they were welcomed by the greetings of the guests, who congratulated the teenage boy on his engagement with Erica.

Naturally, some of them came to the party with malicious intent, but Thirteen didn't really care about them.

As if waiting for Zion's arrival, a beautiful melody started to play in the background.

Everyone gazed at the musicians standing beside the staircase.

However, a moment later, everyone shifted their attention to the three ladies walking down the stairs.

When Thirteen's gaze landed on the three beautiful ladies descending the steps, he wasn't able to stop himself from smiling a genuine smile.

Usually, Thirteen hid his true emotions inside his heart and only showed fake smiles when in public.

But this time, a genuine smile appeared on his face when he saw Lady Callista, Erica, and Sherry walking down together.

Erica was wearing a black gown that took the breath of the young men and women who were invited to the party.

She was already very beautiful in her casual clothes.

But now, she looked incredibly stunning.

Her bare shoulders were as white as cream, and the curves of her body made her seem like a seductive succubus as she walked down the staircase.

The young men couldn't help but gulp as they looked at the valley in her chest, which could be seen from the design of her dress, highlighting just how alluring she was.

Thirteen could tell that his grandmother chose this dress, so Erica could showcase her natural beauty to everyone.

It was as if she was making a statement, telling everyone that this was her granddaughter-in-law, who would soon become part of their family.

Just as Thirteen expected, the black gown also exposed Erica's bare back, igniting wild fantasies from the men who felt that Zion had lucked out because the Sorceress had asked him to become her fiance.

If Erica did the same for them, they would definitely howl in joy and tell everyone that they were now engaged to the beautiful sorceress of the Hero Party. Vincent, who was also at the scene, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Just like everyone, he was also mesmerized by Erica. However, he didn't think of her as anything more than a friend.

The handsome young man had a feeling that if he were to really try to make a move on Erica, Zion would feed him to the fish before he could even ask her to go out on a date with him.

Erica was walking on Lady Callista's right side, while Sherry was walking on the beautiful woman's left side.

Unlike Erica, who looked like a seductive Succubus, Sherry looked like an innocent angel in her white gown.

Her hair was braided like a princess, making Zion give his grandma a thumbs up. Lady Callista sure had a great eye for fashion, accurately able to draw out Sherry's innocent charms to the fullest.

Unlike Erica, whose assets were in full display, Sherry's dress was more conservative, not showing any of her skin.

She was even wearing white gloves, as if Lady Callista feared that she would be defiled by the hands of the young men who would definitely try to ask her to dance later in the party.

Alessia, who was standing beside Zion, whispered something in his ear.

"A double wedding is good too," Alessia said. "Sherry gets my approval."

Thirteen smirked, but he didn't affirm nor reject his mother's suggestion for a double marriage.

Zion then lightly tugged Mikhail's sleeve, who was also standing beside him.

"Dance with Sherry for the first dance," Thirteen said in a volume that only his brother could hear. Mikhail nodded in understanding.

Since Zion was required to dance with Erica first, Sherry would have no partner later. Thirteen planned to dance with her next, so until then, he needed someone to shield the innocent young lady from the approach of the other young men who had come to the party to witness his engagement with Erica.
