Zanipher toyed with the thought briefly before nodding. Diaboli - no wait, Decade had fulfilled his promise of taking her on an exciting, brief excursion. Besides, it would be immensely valuable to have a knowledgeable shark like him as one of her contacts in Mistral, in case she ever found herself coming this way again.

Zan pulled up the tab displaying her contact number and showed it to Decade as she waited for him to do the same. Exchanging personal numbers like this with a fellow mob boss... it almost made it feel like he was one of the Dragons himself. She paused for a second, trying to run through what each of her compatriots' responses would be if she tried introducing him as an ally. Arcelia would allow it, Arkos and Tony would be opposed, Dani and Gala probably wouldn't care, Ethereal and Tony would be suspicious, and Mona... as the newest Dragon, the replacement for a rogue Head who went genocider, who knew what that woman would think.

When Decade brought up Platinum, Zan's face shifted into a definite frown as she tried to explain.

"It's a bit of a long story. Remember last time I said the Dragons were allied with the Suzhen Corporation? Well, the current CEOs are in the process of training their daughter, the heiress, to start taking responsibility of the company. Of course, that meant revealing to her their connection with us. She didn't do a good job cutting her old friends out of her circle, and Platinum is the oldest of them all."

Zanipher tossed her hair exasperatedly.

"Platinum's a sharp one, and obstinate too, as you might have noticed. She was able to track down Fen after the Fall and figure out her relationship with us. Even after she was warned by two ANGELs to call off her pursuit, she promised very boldly that she would throw Fen in jail."

"Someone with a connection and tenacity like that is a loose end we don't want running around. I've come here to make sure she doesn't come further after us, by any means necessary."

At this point Zan fixed Decade with a curious look.

"I overheard the last part she told you. Is it true you crippled her father?"
