Chapter 257 I’ll Follow You For Life [Part 2]
After knowing that the beautiful teenage girl was his Master\'s sister, Percival did his best to be in his best behavior because he knew that if he did something out of line, Thirteen would make sure that he suffered for it.
"Shasha," Shasha also introduced herself, but didn\'t elaborate any further.
She was already used to people looking at her with the same heated gaze that the Tigerkin was giving her.
In fact, this was the reason why the other teenage boys in Shasha\'s team had chosen to stay with her, instead of joining Kane\'s team.
"Shasha, kill those wolves that Taiga left alive," Thirteen ordered.
"Yes, Brother," Shasha replied and did as she was told.
There were seven wolves that Percival had knocked unconscious, so Shasha simply stabbed them with the sword in her possession.
After killing them all, she received two items, and one of them was a Wolf Avatar. The other was a dagger with the insignia of a wolf on its handle.
It was a dagger that would return to its owner once it was thrown, making it a very useful throwing weapon.
"We\'re going back to sleep, so make sure that those wolves bleed out, so we can cook them tomorrow, Taiga."
"Yes, Master!" Percival pounded his chest as if to assure him that everything would be done according to his orders.
Thirteen then held Shasha\'s hand and pulled her back to the cave, so that they could go back to sleep.

Several hours later…
When Thirteen opened his eyes, he found his sister still sleeping beside him.
The other Wanderers were already awake, and busy grilling some of the bear\'s meat that they would turn into jerky later on.
Miriam, on the other hand, was busy cooking meat stew, using the vegetables that Zion had given her.
She knew how to cook, and was very good at it because she helped a lot in the orphanage where she grew up.
Since Thirteen had given them a lot of ingredients like salt, and other spices, she was finally able to put her skills to the test.
Thirteen even gave her pots, pans, ladles, and other cooking utensils, making her the official cook of their team.
The younger boy gently pried Shasha\'s hands off his body, so that she wouldn\'t wake up.
Today was going to be a busy day because he would need to help the Wanderers stock up on their food supplies.
He had already asked Vassago and Poca to scout the surroundings to see if there were any dangerous monsters that they needed to keep an eye on.
The two Pocopocos were already used to this kind of thing, so they scouted the Island overnight.
Percival was not in the cave when Thirteen woke up. But, he had an idea where the Tigerkin went.
He had assigned Taiga to keep watch over their ship, and only follow him after they had properly anchored it.
The ten Trolls and the two Ogres, who had become part of Thirteen\'s private army, were also on the ship, and had already learned how to operate it properly.
Rocky, Blacky, and Hercules, were on the ship, and were tasked to guard it.
During the past three years, everyone that had followed Thirteen had become battle-hardened monsters.
The two Ogres and the leader of the Trolls, T1, had become Rank 4 Sovereigns.
The rest of the Trolls had become Rank 4 Alpha Monsters, showing how much they had grown over the past three years.
Giga, Blacky, and Hercules had now become Rank 5 Sovereigns. Making them very powerful monsters.
Rocky, on the other hand, was now a bonafide Rank 6 Sovereign, and he was also the strongest monster in Thirteen\'s army.
Their explosive growth was attributed to eating the Rank 9 Fire Dragon\'s meat and blood, which Rocky had stored inside his body, allowing Thirteen\'s group to monopolize it.
The Dragon Scales, horns, claws, teeths, and other important body parts were also stored properly because he intended to bring them back to Pangea.
Thirteen already had a plan in mind for how he would be using the Dragon Scales.
He would not be giving them to his father to turn it into armor or artifacts, because he had a better use for it.
The only thing that he planned to give his father were the Dragon\'s teeth, claws, horns, and other parts that he deemed that he wouldn\'t need for his personal use.
Thirteen believed that, even if he didn\'t do anything, his Father would be able to craft a Mythical Item, just because of the quality of materials he would be using.
There was only one instance when a Rank 9 Sovereign was killed in Pangea.
It was also the event that allowed the five traitors to become Monarchs, allowing them to become the strongest pillars of humanity.
Thirteen planned to keep everything under wraps because once people knew about the Fire Dragon Monster Parts, things could become extremely dicey for him and his family.
Two hours later, a commotion happened inside the cave.
A group of Wanderers, headed by a handsome teenage boy, made their way inside to look for Shasha.
Fortunately, she had woken up and had already eaten breakfast by the time they arrived.
Thirteen looked at the person standing in front of the group, and almost face palmed the moment his gaze landed on Kane Stallard, who was one of the heirs of the Stallard Clan.
Earlier, the Wanderers following Kane were feeling smug because they were now part of the popular group.
However, when their gaze landed on Giga Chad, who was happily eating bear stew from a large wooden bowl, all of them froze in shock.
They could tell that the monster, who was seated behind Shasha, was not a low-rank monster, making them more timid than usual.
Kane, although also shaken, didn\'t make it appear on his face.
He simply looked at his crush with an affectionate gaze before shifting his attention to the boy that was standing beside her.
"Who are you?" Kane asked. "I have never seen you before."
Taiga, who had also just returned inside the cave after checking their ship, noticed the commotion and walked towards his Master.
He could tell that the newcomers were weaker than him, so he didn\'t do anything that might hurt them.
Shasha stood beside her brother and looked Kane in the eye.
"This is my little brother Zion," Shasha replied. "You once asked me to become your girlfriend, right?"
"Yes," Kane answered in a heartbeat. "Even now, that feeling hasn\'t changed."
Taiga\'s ears perked up after hearing that the handsome human boy was courting his Master\'s sister.
"Well, I will now give you my answer," Shasha stated. "The only one whom I will accept as my lover is the person who has gained Zion\'s approval."
After hearing Shasha\'s reply, Kane fearlessly walked towards Thirteen with a serious expression on his face.
A moment later, he grabbed hold of Thirteen\'s right hand, and knelt in front of him.
"Brother, I will follow you for life," Kane declared.
Taiga, who didn\'t plan on losing out, instantly appeared in front of Thirteen at the blink of an eye and held his left hand.
He also knelt in front of the ten-year-old and looked at him with an unwavering gaze.
"Master, I will serve you forever," Percival stated.
Thirteen smiled calmly at the two teenagers in front of him. A moment later, he opened his mouth and gave Tiona an order.
"Tiona, bite these two fools," Thirteen ordered.
The Black Snake hissed and lunged at Percival, who hurriedly ran away. Kane recognized that the Black Snake coiled around the younger boy\'s neck as a Domini Mortis, which was classified as the most venomous Rank 1 Monster in existence.
With the threat of getting bitten to death, Kane followed Percival and ran away as fast as he could, causing Shasha to show something that she rarely did.
The young lady giggled, which was something that she hadn\'t done ever since she had arrived in Solterra.
Even her teammates were caught by surprise because they had never seen Shasha act like this.
She almost always had a calm and collected look on her face, so seeing her act like a girl made them all feel that there was still a lot more that they didn\'t know about their temporary leader.
Thirteen, on the other hand, sighed in his heart.
He had a feeling that things would get a little more hectic now that the balance of power between the two Wanderer Teams had shifted in Shasha\'s favor.
