However, Alan was determined to take the creature in. If this vampire dared to cause trouble, he would simply neutralize her and add a new specin to his laboratory.
"Alright, I can speak to the Ministry of Magic for you, but rember: with , you must learn what rules and discipline are. If you dare to cause any trouble, you will regret the decision you made today."
Alan nodded at Shalltear, then said, "First, transform back into your human form, then follow obediently."
"Thank you, my lord!" Shalltear was overjoyed to see that this rich fool had finally fallen for it. She didn't want to go back to that wild place in the United States at all, especially since the vampire clans there were currently in a state of war, and such conflicts never stopped for less than a few years.
What Shalltear was thinking now was to first pretend to be an honest and well-behaved young girl, use Alan's status as cover, and stay by this wealthy fool's side for a while.
As for rules? Discipline? What were those? Did he not know that the Toreador Clan also had the nickna 'Wandering Artists'? Once the storm passed, she would be as free as a bird.
Shalltear smiled and agreed to Alan's request. She tried to transform, but even after turning red in the face, she couldn't squeeze out a single bit of magic. She could only look at the young man with a bitter expression. "Sorry, my lord, those smugglers starved for several days, and now I have no magic at all."
Upon hearing this, Alan took out a bottle of vitality tonic and poured it down her throat. He waited for a long ti until they were almost at the cri scene by the coast before she finally managed to transform back into human form.
As soon as Shalltear returned to her youthful appearance, she imdiately approached Alan diligently, acting like a well-behaved sister.
"Take this..." Alan showed no reaction to the smiling girl in front of him, rely handing over a tal bracelet with a calm expression.
"What is this?" Shalltear took the bracelet curiously, then frowned at the incredibly plain piece of jewelry. "My lord, this thing is too ugly. It looks like an unprocessed semi-finished product."
"Less nonsense!" Alan glared fiercely at her, but still couldn't help but glance at the bracelet. Was his handiwork really that ugly? It was clearly very simple and practical. Why was this creature as annoying as that brat Vivian?
Shalltear was glared at by Alan and imdiately put it on her arm obediently. Unexpectedly, as soon as the bracelet was slipped onto her arm, it imdiately deford, instantly fitting perfectly. This sudden change startled her, and she could only look at Alan with a face full of confusion.
"This bracelet allows to find you at any ti. Since you want to take you in, you must be obedient. After all, it has not been confird yet that you have no prior record." Alan coldly glanced at her. In fact, this bracelet also had the effects of energy absorption and electric shock, but he didn't want to scare the vampire girl just yet.
*Ah? Does that an from now on, whatever I do, wherever I go, this guy will be watching ? And it's so ugly!* Shalltear looked at the bracelet, her face instantly turning bitter. But she was under soone else's roof now, and there was no other way. This guy was truly watertight, not giving her any chance.
However, just as Shalltear was feeling depressed, a familiar face appeared before her.
"You vampire, I finally caught you! I can't believe you tricked . Why don't you surrender quickly!" Mavis, holding her wand, walked angrily toward Shalltear.
"Uh, Auror big sister, listen to my explanation." Shalltear didn't expect to run into Mavis, whom she had tricked earlier, as soon as she returned to the cri scene with Alan. She imdiately showed an awkward expression, then nervously hid behind Alan.
"Listen to your explanation? What's there to explain? Deceiving a public official plus resisting arrest—I'm going to lock you up in Azkaban!" Mavis rushed forward, grabbed Shalltear by the collar, and pulled out a pair of Magic-Suppressing Handcuffs, about to shackle her.
Once restrained, Shalltear imdiately used her usual crying act, looking eagerly at Alan. "My lord, help , my lord! Didn't you say you'd take care of ? I don't want to go to prison, boohoohoo..."
Alan glanced at her speechlessly. *Is this what you told earlier, that you escaped by yourself?* He actually wanted Mavis to teach her a good lesson, but he had already promised Shalltear earlier.
"Mavis, let her go for now. I'll explain her situation to you later. She's currently under my guardianship and won't cause any harm," Alan said to Mavis with so helplessness.
"Are you sure? Listen to first, this girl used my sympathy to escape before. Don't let her trick you." Mavis thought Shalltear had used her usual trick to deceive Alan as well and imdiately warned him.
"Don't worry. If I say she's harmless now, she is harmless. Even if she's not, I'll help her beco harmless. As for her previous offense against you, we'll let her figure out how to repay it later." Alan smiled slightly, then coldly glanced at Shalltear as he spoke.
Shalltear, caught in Alan's gaze, felt a chill run down her spine at his emotionless words. She was already regretting her choices. Had she just escaped one den of thieves only to fall into a trap?
Seeing Alan's expression, Mavis believed him for the most part. After all, after the previous battle, Alan was quite reliable in her eyes, so she angrily released Shalltear.
"By the way." Alan leaned in and whispered to Mavis, "You haven't revealed to anyone about helping you find these smugglers before, have you? Also, about having Thunderbird magic—these pieces of information cannot be exposed for certain reasons right now."
"Captain Moody emphasized confidentiality to us before he arrived, so the Aurors on site will remain silent before submitting our reports. As for your use of Thunderbird magic, we haven't had ti to discuss it with anyone because we've been so busy."
Out of trust for Alan, Mavis answered truthfully. Then her eyebrows raised, as if realizing sothing. "Your Thunderbird magic? Could it be?"
"That's right, it was who acted at the Scamander ho before. Currently, only you and a few high-ranking Ministry officials know. The main reason is that the Thunderbird ran away, so we have to keep it a secret. I'm sure you understand why." Alan, after continuous observation, knew that Mavis was trustworthy, so he didn't hide much. He wasn't sure if there were other spies within the Ministry, and Alan always preferred to act cautiously.
