I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 146 Differential Treatment

Doris rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Anna! Give me some more money, I already..."

Doris stopped herself from speaking, because she saw Gene sitting on the sofa, smiling at her.

Doris felt a cold sweat break out on her back and hurriedly went over to bow.

"Teacher... what brings you here! You didn't even give us a heads-up so we could have picked you up!"

Gene snorted coldly.

"What's the point of informing you? You all just ignore what I say anyway!"

Doris realized she was in deep trouble and immediately looked to Diana for help.

Diana immediately understood and went to Gene.

"Grandpa Gene, please don't blame Dolly! She finally got to come out, it's okay to let her play for a bit!"

Gene affectionately patted Diana's head.

"It's okay, Anna, go out and have some fun. Didn't you say you were going to school? Go on!"

When she returned, Diana said she was going to go to the school to tell everyone about her flying skills and that she would take them on a flight.

Diana suddenly realized.

"I almost forgot, so I'll be going now, Grandpa Gene, Sister Dolly!"

As Diana ran to the door, she seemed to remember something and turned back to say:

"Grandpa Gene, you can't hit people!"

Gene was both amused and exasperated, but nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Anna, I won't hit anyone!"

Diana then left, relieved.

Doris watched her lifeline slip away, her heart sinking to the bottom. 'This is really bad! But at least I'll get a beating less.'

Doris lowered her head, lost in thought, racking her brains for an excuse, when suddenly a whooshing sound came from the air.

Snapped--

A wooden stick struck Dorisia squarely on the forehead, leaving a straight red mark.

Doris's azure eyes welled up with tears. "Teacher, how could you lie to me! You promised you wouldn't hit me!"

"Teacher, you promised Anna you wouldn't hit anyone!"

Gene held the wooden strip, looking completely bewildered.

"Yes! I promised Anna I wouldn't hit anyone! But I didn't promise I wouldn't hit the dragon!"

Gene smacked Doris on the forehead again.

"Forgetting my instructions is one thing, but you actually dared to ask Anna for money!"

Doris looked utterly dejected. "Teacher! You've changed! Love really does fade, doesn't it?"

At this moment, Franklin returned on the last train. He had originally wanted to take the city's light rail, but unfortunately he had no money left. With his last bit of money, he bought a roast chicken and ate it while complaining.

"My noble dragon race has to pay to ride on these lowly humans' train, and they won't even give us a discount on a roast chicken! This is truly going against the natural order!"

"I need to have a serious talk with Anna when we get back. We noble dragons deserve special treatment!"

Franklin returned to the manor and entered the residence. Usually, Diana would be in the hall at this time, so he started shouting without thinking.

"Anna! These lowly humans are outrageous! How dare they take my money! You must arrange special treatment for me, like taking the train..."

Snapped--

Half a roast chicken fell to the ground!

Franklin's hands trembled as he saw the situation inside the hall.

"Teacher...Teacher! You...you...how did you get here!"

Gene stared at Franklin with a grim expression.

"Come here, come over here! I'll arrange some special treatment for you!"

Franklin put on the 'pain mask' and slowly moved over.

"Teacher...I...I was wrong! I...I don't want special treatment anymore!"

Then, Franklin's pig-like screams echoed through the hall.

Recanal finished a busy day's work. He had come to the power plant out of curiosity, but he never expected that electricity could be generated in this way, simply by burning a fire!

He also learned about the important uses of electricity, which seemed to open up a new world for him.

While he was watching at the power plant, some people saw that he was strong and healthy and offered him a job, saying they could pay him a lot of money.

Recanal knew that money was a good thing, and that Diana's favorite foods all required money to buy, so he accepted the man's suggestion that he should earn money to buy Diana food.

After working for a while, Recanal grew to like the feeling of being busy. It made him feel useful and able to earn money to buy food for Diana, which was a win-win situation!

Because Recanal worked very hard, doing the work of several people, he was paid a very high wage. His coworkers were not envious, thinking that he deserved it and even took good care of him.

His coworkers assumed he must be desperate for money to work so hard, and automatically assumed he had elderly parents and young children to take care of. Everyone admired the honest and simple Recanal.

Today was payday, and it was the first time Recanal had received a salary. He was very happy and bought a lot of delicious food.

Recanal returned to his residence carrying large and small bags.

"Anna! Look, I bought you..."

The heavy atmosphere in the hall prevented him from saying the rest of his words. Looking at Gene sitting on the sofa with a wooden stick in his hand, and the two disheveled men standing in front of him, he knew he was in for a beating.

"Teacher! You've come!"

Recanal went over and bowed, placing the bags on the table. Then he prepared to take off his clothes so that Gene could fight more easily.

The two dragons who were standing felt a little better; after all, watching others get beaten made their own pain lessen.

Gene interrupted Recanal's actions and patted the side of the sofa.

"Nar! You're back. Come, sit here and rest for a bit."

Doris and Franklin looked up at the kind-faced Gene, completely bewildered. "No! Teacher, are you sure you've made a mistake? This treatment is completely different! You can't discriminate!"

Gene glared at the two dragons.

"What are you looking at? Nar knows to work and earn money to buy food for Anna! What about you? All you know is eating, drinking, and having fun, and you even spend Anna's money!"

"Go stand at the door and reflect on your actions!"

The two dragons suddenly realized, 'We've got it! So that's where the problem lies! Anna is the key!'

The two dragons slunk away from the hall and stood guard at the door.

······

After school, Diana and several girls returned, chatting and laughing. They had decided that during the holidays, Diana would fly them to Louise's house and they would also get some seafood.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Diana immediately spotted Doris and Franklin standing like guardian deities on either side of the gate.

"Sister Dolly, Brother Klin, what are you doing standing here?"

Doris smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"We came out for some fresh air~"

Diana was a little suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions. Remembering that Doris had said she was out of money, she took out a bag of gold coins.

"Sister Dolly, here! Didn't you run out of money?"

Doris waved her hands repeatedly.

"No need, Anna, I've made up my mind! From now on, I'm going to support myself! How can I keep taking your money?"

Diana was somewhat taken aback; she hadn't expected Doris to say that. She glanced around and then whispered:

"Sister Dolly, blink if you're being threatened!"

Doris didn't dare blink; her eyes were wide open.

"Anna! Don't talk nonsense! I wasn't threatened! Really!"
