Alien world

Chapter 1913, Section 546: Annan's True Talent

Black Pearl recalled everything that had happened since meeting Annan, every single detail. She felt like prey caught in a spider's web, sinking deeper and deeper into her unconscious struggle…

She, the dignified leader of the Five-Colored Dragons, was actually completely fooled by a human boy!
But when she thought of the cat and the midnight girl, Black Pearl lost half her courage.

"Black Pearl, what are you doing here? Is that lady your friend?"

Just then, shouts came from the shore.

Upon seeing Annan appear, Black Pearl lost even the last bit of courage she had left.

Wait a minute... ma'am?
Black Pearl suddenly turned her head and found that Tambur had turned into a human.

Its clothes were tattered from the fight, leaving only scraps of cloth covering its vital parts. Its short, black hair, reaching to its ears, was disheveled, and its delicate, dirty face was covered in sand, revealing its two full, firm thighs.

Black Pearl's pupils trembled: "How dare you—"

"Don't speak!"

Annan interrupted Black Pearl, looking intently at it: "Miss Dragon, may I ask your name?"

“My name is Tambur.”

"Damn it!" Black Pearl nearly crushed her dragon teeth, unleashing a terrifying dragon's might towards Tambul: "It's a male dragon!"

"A male dragon?"

Annan glanced at the "girl" with her legs together in confusion, then suddenly exclaimed with delight: "The male dragon is even better!"

The black dragon is cunning and evil, and the male dragon is known for its ruthlessness and fighting prowess. Moreover, with the camouflage of the "evil" faction, it and the black pearl can operate in the North. In addition, with his own plans in the Moon Eater Clan, the Macken ratmen's little tricks can't be hidden from him.

But Black Pearl didn't know that; she only felt a chill all over her body.

Annan walked over, draped his cloak over the "dragon girl," and asked curiously, "Are you siblings?"

"I have no connection with Tambull, and I don't want to see it!"

Annan rebuked him, saying, "How could you say such things to your friend? Apologize to Tambull right now."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Black Pearl looked incredulously at the shy Tambur and the concerned Annan.

How could this happen? I was here first...

The Black Pearl was distraught and didn't even realize when she returned to Sertovis. She only knew that Annan and Tambur had walked and talked all the way.

"Griffith, is that your real name?"

Upon hearing her own name, Black Pearl snapped awake and, grasping at a straw, exclaimed, "I prefer the name Black Pearl!"

Tambur saw Annan's smile and Black Pearl's echoing smile, and a hint of sadness appeared deep in his eyes.

My Griffith, right now even if he asked you to bark like a dog, you'd probably squat down and bark twice...

Let me bear this shame in your place...

Annan was not in a hurry to return to Liberty City.

It wasn't because of Tambul's appearance. Rather, it was because he had finally come to Sltows, and the city lord and Dean Blehim had invited him to the banquet that evening.

Annan did not refuse and stayed at the Diagon Alley Hotel, which was also one of his own properties.

Annan asked the store manager to prepare three rooms and went upstairs to wash up, at least to change back from his succubus persona.

Annan followed the silly cat inside, and just as Tambur was about to follow—

Bang!
The door closed right in front of him, shutting him out.

Black Pearl didn't see this scene. After returning upstairs, she locked herself in her room.

"You're not letting it in?" the silly cat asked deliberately.

“I’m only after its power, not its body,” Annan shook his head.

Having learned from the experience of the Black Pearl incident, dealing with other Black Dragons in Annam will be much easier.

The same race would not make Annan think twice a second time!
……

Black Pearl stood in front of the dressing mirror. She was unaware of what was happening outside in the corridor; she was simply staring intently at herself in the mirror.

Dark circles under his eyes, a haggard face, and a thin figure.

"What's wrong with me?" Black Pearl muttered to herself, her reflection in the mirror bearing no resemblance to the Black Dragon she was supposed to be.

Her pale hand clenched tightly; Black Pearl began to realize that something was wrong, something was wrong…

You can't let yourself sink any further; don't let Annan look down on you!

knock knock --

A knock sounded at the door, and the black pearl in the mirror turned around in surprise.

Could it be Annan? He came to see me secretly!
Thinking this, Black Pearl hurriedly opened the door, but the figure outside froze the joy on her face.

"why you."

"Who do you think you are, that human?"

“You’re not with Annan.”

"It's all just a performance." Tambur squeezed into the room.

Black Pearl stood at the door, turned around and asked, "What brings you here?"

"I want to invite you to pull off a big heist." Just minutes ago, Tambur had been all sweet and submissive, but now his eyes were filled with ambition. "Annan's wealth is beyond measure. If we kidnap him, all that money will be ours!"

“You know nothing about Annan’s power.”

Black Pearl's eyes, however, held only pity: "Did you notice the cat that's following Anan?"

"What happened to it?"

"He is a saint."

Tambur's mouth gaped slightly, but whether out of youthful arrogance or driven by desire, he said nonchalantly, "So what if he's a saint? I'll find an excuse to lure him out alone, and you can lie in ambush there."

"If we pull off this job, we'll earn more money than we could in a thousand years! And we can torture this human who dared to toy with our feelings!"

Black Pearl didn't speak, but subconsciously closed the door.

……

Outside the window, the silly cat witnessed this betrayal, which further confirmed Annan's talent.

Annan gave his heart, and Black Pearl was manipulated at his mercy.

If sincerity is no longer shown, the two black dragons may betray us at any moment.

Annan, I've seen through you!

……

As evening approached, Annan allowed Black Pearl and Tambur to wander around and buy some things—but to remember to pay—before heading to the banquet.

The silly cat didn't come along. He said there were many stray cats in Seltovis, and he wanted to take them back to Free City.

Annan saw many acquaintances at the banquet, including Dean Blehim, as well as Sina and her mother.

"Annan, may I dance with you? I'm so envious of that lazybones!" Xana pleaded.

The "lazybones" refers to Suni, who was also invited but declined, citing sleep as the reason.

"of course can."

Annan hadn't specifically practiced dance steps, but he was no longer the novice who would step on his dance partner's toes. He was pulled into the dance floor, which was full of young men and women, by the bouncy and innocent-looking Xianna.

The song began to change, becoming soothing and tranquil, like a lakeside under the moonlight. Xianna glanced at the band with delight, blushed, took Anan's hand, and slowly began to dance to the music.

Aside from the fact that Annan and Sienna are about the same height, the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is simply pleasing to the eye.

But it can't be removed... so it looks like Sienna is playing with her little brother.
