A strange world

Chapter 672 Section 69. No one can ignore Annan’s charm

"Why do you call me...grandfather?" Annan asked confused.

"Grandma asked us to call her that. You are her friend, of course we..."

The "grandmother" Lao Fei refers to is Mrs. Puppet Yossi Fischer.

"Just call me by my first name..."

"How is that possible!" Lao Fei's attitude was fierce.

"Then add 'sir'."

"but……"

Annan didn't want to continue to be entangled. It was too strange for an old man in his fifties and sixties to call him grandfather: "Do you still want to get the jade essence back?"

"You got it back!? Dragon... Ancestor, how can I thank you..." Lao Fei excitedly wanted to kiss Annan's boots.

"You've already been paid."

The treasures hidden by the Fischer family behind the bookshelf on the second floor were not discovered by the gold diggers. There were some art collections in there. It is estimated that they are worth more than a thousand gold coins - which is already a lot.

Hiring a group of master-level mercenaries for a day only costs at most one-tenth of the price, although it costs extra money to take risks.

Annan felt that the lack was because he handled too much money and Liberty City spent too much money. Tatoun's "Imperial News" commented that "Free City is becoming the most expensive city-state in the new millennium" and is not wrong at all.

"But I left the jade essence in Huadu. Can you wait until I get back and give it to you?"

Annan temporarily gave Klein the magic ring and asked her to restock.

"No problem at all!"

Lao Fei felt a little strange, but she had no suspicion... But some people thought Annan was a liar.

"Are you the guy entrusted by the patriarch?"

A questioning voice came from the side, and two knight girls who looked like twin sisters came over.

They looked at Annan carefully and actually ignored his appearance: "I don't know what method you used to deceive the old patriarch. We are not that easy to be fooled."

Lao Fei's expression changed greatly, and she scolded severely: "If you say anything else, apologize to Mr. Annan immediately!"

Then it was explained that they were Nissi and Harley, two of the best members of the Fischer family of this generation.

Annan said nothing, looking curiously at the two girls who were about the same age as him. They only have slightly different hair colors, with Nia being more brown and Halle being more chestnut.

"Why should I apologize to the guy who slandered Brother Monte!" Nia said unconvinced.

"Who is Monte?" Annan didn't think about it for a short time.

"That's the kid who stole the jade essence!"

"Patriarch, how can you say that about him?" Nia defended anxiously, "Brother Monte is a church knight who was received by the princess. How can you believe what this liar said? Maybe he didn't even -"

At this time, a burst of soft footsteps sounded from behind

The princess walked out of the passage barefoot.

Annan frowned slightly: "Why did you come out?"

The princess didn't speak, she just held Annan's hand. She hadn't been with Annan for several minutes.

"I have some things to deal with, you go back first..." Annan said softly, even though she didn't respond. Then he said to the skeleton guard: "Mr. Guard, could you please take her back to the room?"

"Gala gala——"

The skeleton guard took the princess back to the passage.

Annan withdrew his gaze and looked at Lao Fei and the others again.

Lao Fei was just flattering and humble, while Nia and Halli stared blankly, like two frightened quails.

Annan asked softly: "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

…

Nothing is better than seeing it with your own eyes.

After seeing the princess and seeing the princess show intimacy to Annan, Nia and Hali shut their mouths and no longer dared to express their opinions or questions.

Annan had no intention of arguing with the two little girls and asked, "You will keep the secret, right?"

"Uh huh huh..."

Nia, who was saying "Brother Monte" just now, nodded obediently.

Annan originally did not want to get involved in the private affairs of the Fischer family, but they saw the princess, so he had to take them to the Skeleton King and tell him about their meeting with the princess.

Lao Fei and his "grandmother" are Skeleton King's nominal subordinates, so they can also be considered Skeleton King's influence.

"What do you want to do?" Skeleton King asked him.

Lao Fei was still respectful, and the two sisters held each other's hands nervously.

"Let them keep it a secret."

This is very simple. A five-ring spell can allow them to keep the secret, but as soon as they finish casting the spell, the princess comes running over again.

I always feel that the identity of the princess cannot be concealed for too long...

In the lounge, Annan sat face to face with the princess, Lao Fei and her sisters.

"The two of them are not simple." Annan said.

Lao Fei humbly said that if they really had potential, they wouldn't need the jade essence to change their destiny.

Nia, the younger sister, pursed her lips, while Harley, the older sister, remained silent.

"I'm serious..." Annan looked at them curiously, "Can you tell me about Monte?"

"Are you going to cause trouble for him?" Nia asked first.

"I just want to know who he is..."

Reassured, Nia talked about her "brother Monte": they had played together since childhood, joined the church together, and became knights' retinues together. Lao Fei originally wanted Harley and Monte to get married.

As a result, after finding "grandmother", Lao Fei moved the tribe to the cemetery, and Monte who followed him happened to be arrested on his order. That's why they both came to trouble Annan when he came back.

"Old Fei, I suggest you interrogate that Monte. There is a problem with his identity."

"Really?"

"I just have some guesses, let's give it a try first."

Lao Fei left with his sisters, and not long after he came back with the result: Monte was actually hollowed out of his soul by a succubus half a year ago, and then the succubus took over the magpie's nest.

Mrs. Puppet spent a lot of effort to discover that there was a succubus hidden in the body. To her surprise, Annan actually figured out its identity after only asking a few questions...

"How did you do it?"

Annan couldn't tell him, "There's definitely something wrong with the sisters actually being able to ignore my charm and still yelling at Brother Monte all the time." He could only say that it was his talent.

They were about to go back. Annan asked the princess to wait for him at Klein's side first, and then went to say goodbye to the Skeleton King.

He temporarily entrusted the Burnt Girl and the members of the Weird Prison to the necropolis, and asked the Skeleton King to help feed them, while also contacting the goblins in the swamp.

When following the servant back to the surface, the fat noble stuck to him and wanted Annan to take him to Huadu.

However, Annan refused him on the grounds that the commission had been completed. This also saved him - he wanted to return to the Crimson Castle. A human who ran to the territory of the vampires would only become a blood slave, and maybe even worse - because of the Crimson Castle. The blood slaves are all girls.

"Let's go back."

The crimson princess sitting in the carriage smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to Annan.

Annan handed her a flower pot with branches from another world and got into the carriage.

The Crimson Princess's motorcade is on its way home.
