Going To The Auction 

Two weeks after Thirteen returned to Pangea…

"You're finally here, Zion," Erica said with a smile as she gave the teenage boy a hug.

"My mother forced me to come," Thirteen replied stiffly.

Erica smirked before pulling the teenage boy to the VIP Room especially reserved for them.

"Your mother is worried because you've been working non-stop since you arrived, so she asked me to come with you to this place," Erica commented.

For some reason, Rianna had added Zion's mother, Alessia, to their Group Chat, which was a girl-exclusive group.

There, Alessia complained that Zion was overworking himself and mentioned how she was worried that he might collapse from exhaustion.

As a solution, Erica proposed that she take Thirteen to the auction house where the Serpent Scales were about to be auctioned.
