Chapter 441 Black Rose

Chapter 441 Black Rose
The smoke of Knockturn Alley gradually dissipated, and the ruined buildings fell silent in the darkness. Only dried bloodstains and broken ground proved that this place had experienced a bloody storm.

The werewolf forces in Knockturn Alley were completely destroyed after this battle, and disappeared into the dust of history, becoming a shadow of the past.

After the battle, the spy Little Wolf, who was hiding in the werewolf group, made great contributions and became the most watched hero in this battle. Without the key intelligence he provided, such as the number of werewolves, the terrain and defense measures in the werewolf camp, this battle would not have been so easy. Moreover, after the Inferi and the snake group appeared and stabilized the situation, it was Little Wolf and his accomplices who suddenly rebelled at the critical moment and dealt the werewolf tribe the final blow from within, which eventually disrupted the entire werewolf formation and made it completely defeated.

His loyalty and strategy were fully demonstrated in this battle.

He was therefore given the name "Ulfric" by Sherin, which means the king of wolves. This name is not only a symbol of glory, but also a symbol of rebirth.

"Ulfric" represents more than just a name. From then on, he is also a powerful general under Sheelin. All the werewolves loyal to Sheelin, including the ones who were placed in the vampire castle by Sheelin earlier, plus the eleven who had just been conquered, a total of forty-three people, all belong to Ulfric's command and are led and trained by him.

Forty-three werewolves gathered together was already a considerable number, enough to attract the attention of any country's Ministry of Magic. Schelling hoped that he could turn them into a disciplined and rigorous combat force, rather than the uncontrolled, criminal group that committed crimes during Fenrir's time.

The territory that once belonged to Fenrir, now a devastated ruin, will be handed over to the Night Cat's forces to clean up and rebuild. Once the new "Wolf Fortress" in the design blueprint is completed, it will become Ulfric's new territory. This is the reward he got for disregarding his own safety and swearing to die for Sherin.

Of course, the reconstruction work was led by Night Owl on the surface, but in fact the funds and materials behind it still came from Sherin. However, as a rising star in the wizarding world, Sherin was not suitable to have any relationship with Knockturn Alley. He also needed to maintain his image as a noble gentleman representing the pure-blooded and moderate faction in front of the public.

But in fact, in the place where the sun does not shine, in the place shrouded in shadow, a brand new shadow king has slowly emerged without anyone noticing in the entire wizarding world -

Knockturn Alley was originally divided into three major forces, namely the Business Alliance headed by Old Borgin, the Werewolf Tribe headed by Fenrir, and the remaining scattered forces in Knockturn Alley. Now, the Werewolf Tribe has officially become a sharp blade in Sherin's hands, used to carry out activities that Sherin originally could not do and were not allowed to be seen in public.

Although old Borgin is not under Shailling's command, as a loyal ally of the Malfoy family for many years, he will not become Shailling's enemy.

After this battle, Night Cat became famous and was honored as the "Queen of the Night" by all the forces in Knockturn Alley. She had the momentum and style of a gangster overlord. Under Night Cat's reputation, the scattered gangs in Knockturn Alley joined her one after another after this battle, fearing that they would fall behind. After all, no one wanted to become the next "Werewolf Tribe".

In this way, the various small forces that were originally fighting and confronting each other were unified in a very short period of time, ending the original chaotic situation. It also meant that this once chaotic and disorderly gathering place for dark wizards finally welcomed a new ruler and a new order, and even turned around and became the only overlord in Knockturn Alley.

Apart from the business alliance formed by the merchants in Knockturn Alley, no other force dared to confront it head-on.

This also meant that Knockturn Alley had officially become a territory under Schelling's complete control - Schelling's words were the rules and iron laws here, more effective than the laws of the Ministry of Magic.

[The "Protagonist Force" has obtained the brand new werewolf tribe "Wolf Clan Fortress"! ] Do you think this is the end?
These are just the first stages of Schelling's plan for Knockturn Alley.

If you remember, in Chapter 4 of Volume 30 of this book, after the Rawl family was completely wiped out under the promotion of Schelling, Schelling once obtained an underground gambling house located in Knockturn Alley. This shop is called a gambling house, but it is actually just a run-down betting station that specializes in accepting bets on the British and Irish Quidditch League, major Pegasus races, and major broom races.

Now that all the unstable factors in Knockturn Alley have been quelled and are under his control, Schelling decided to use a large amount of his savings to invest in Knockturn Alley. One of the biggest projects is to rebuild this small underground gambling house into a luxurious underground casino.

It will be built with reference to the top Muggle casinos in Las Vegas. The decoration will be extremely luxurious and extravagant, and there will be all kinds of entertainment. In terms of food and drinks, it must cooperate with Ogden Winery in the UK and Catherine de Sauvage Winery in Northern Europe, and introduce the top-quality "Flame Whiskey" and "Ice Flower Vodka". Anyway, the purpose is to make all visitors linger and indulge in the glamour of life.

In Schelling's vision, this place will become the largest place for capital flow in Knockturn Alley. It will also be a landmark building that witnesses Knockturn Alley entering a new era. It may even become a famous tourist attraction in the wizarding world of Great Britain.

In order to consolidate the ruling structure of Knockturn Alley, Xie Ling also decided to formally integrate the scattered forces under Night Cat into a new gang - the "Black Rose Society". After the construction of this luxurious den of brothel, which will be named "Rose Pavilion", will also be fully managed by the Black Rose Society. Xie Ling only needs to stay behind the scenes and be responsible for collecting monetary profits.

Nightcat, the new ruler of Knockturn Alley, deservedly became the leader of the Black Rose Society, and under her, the positions of four deacons would be established. They would each perform their duties and maintain the operation of the Black Rose Society.

Night Cat personally controls the operation of the casino, while the four deacons conduct their business and operations around the casino.

Greedy and bloodthirsty, the dominatrix Anise runs a loan shark business that specializes in offering tempting contracts to gamblers desperate for funds;

The vampire prince Bathory is cold and shrewd, and her hounds are everywhere, good at tracking, finding people and collecting debts;
The werewolf Ulfric is brave and loyal. He leads a well-trained guard force to protect the Black Rose's territory and show ruthless killing when necessary.
The goblin Slark controls finances and assets. His valuation skills make it impossible for anyone to escape, and his pawn shop is the final destination for many people after they lose all their chips.

This casino is not only an abyss where crime and wealth intertwine, but also a symbol of the power of the Black Rose Society.

Gamblers are lost in the world of luxury, and their wealth is fleeting. When they lose everything, they can ask Anis for help in borrowing, but the price is often beyond their reach. If someone tries to escape debt, Bathory's trackers will pull them back from any corner of the world. Ulfric's werewolf guards patrol around the casino to ensure the stability of order and give fatal punishment to any provocateurs. And Slark waits outside the gambling table, calculating the asset value of those gamblers who have lost all their cash and have to pawn their wands, rings, and even soul contracts with a cold gaze.

When all these plans become reality, the thorns of the Black Rose Society will be intertwined and deeply rooted in this dark place. Even if the Ministry of Magic wants to have any ideas about Knockturn Alley, it must weigh the consequences.
