Chapter 920 A thrilling adventure
When four exquisitely presented appetizers were served, Cedric already knew that he was going to bleed heavily today.
This is a feast carefully prepared by the Scots, who are the best at cooking French cuisine. Vincent really knows how to choose a place.
Cedric picked up the caviar and blueberry jam on the plate with a table knife, and then slowly and evenly spread it on the only piece of foie gras on the plate.
His movements were particularly elegant, like a traditional old British gentleman.
The foie gras melts in his mouth, and the blueberry sauce neutralizes the salty smell of caviar very well. The rich taste brings him an unprecedented experience.
Thinking about having to pay the bill later, he was so moved that he almost cried on the spot.
"How's it going, Ced? I told you the French food here is delicious."
Cedric stared at Vincent who was sitting opposite him with moist eyes, "Ah, it's delicious."
Hermione quickly covered her mouth.
Soon, the second appetizer arrived.
While Cedric was feeling both sad and happy, the Dursleys drove Sirius and Harry to a photo studio in central London.
Before getting out of the car, Sirius asked Harry in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to take a family photo with them? I heard from Arthur that you were almost abused by their family growing up."
Harry smiled and nodded, "I'm sure Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon are very nice to me now, and Dudley isn't the same as he used to be."
Sirius glanced at the Dursleys outside the car, "Okay, Harry, I won't interfere with your decision anymore."
He suppressed his disgust and got out of the car and walked into the photo studio with Harry.
However, when facing the camera, he showed an extremely relieved smile.

……
9 month 1 day,
It's still raining in London.
Vincent drove to Manchester early in the morning with Gugu, who had become much rounder.
The car is the first trial production Bugatti Veyron that was just shipped back from Italy last night. It is painted in classic blue and black.
The rain was heavy, but it did not affect his driving at all.
No matter how slippery the road was in rainy weather, he always maintained a speed of over 200 km/h.
The journey that originally took more than an hour was shortened to half an hour.
From a distance, Vincent saw Hermione holding Crookshanks standing under the eaves of the house.
He honked the horn and slowly drove up to her.
The car stopped steadily.
He lowered the car window and looked at her with his head tilted in a nonchalant manner, "Beauty, are you waiting for your boyfriend?"
Hermione nodded obediently, "Yes."
Vincent waved at her in a sly manner, "Get in the car, beautiful girl, I'm your boyfriend."
Hermione looked up at the rain that was being held back by the magical barrier.
She walked up slowly and gave Vincent a particularly sweet smile, "Boyfriend, will you take me to school?"
Vincent raised a wicked smile and gently lifted the passenger door. "What kind of school are we going to? Let's skip class."
Hermione was hesitating whether to agree or not when suddenly bursts of sirens were heard in the distance.
Vincent was a little confused, "Uh... they're not here to arrest me, are they?"
Hermione carried Crookshanks to the front of the car and looked down, then walked to the passenger seat with a helpless look on her face.
"Gugu——" Gugu, who was lying on the seat, greeted her.
"Meow--" Crookshanks flew over Gugu's round forehead and landed steadily on Vincent's thigh.
"Little traitor..." She picked up Gugu and sighed softly, "The little guy has become heavier again," then sat down and fastened her seat belt.
"Driving without a license and speeding, they must be here to arrest you."
Vincent spread his hands nonchalantly, "Now I really have become a bad boy."
Hermione tightened her arms around Gugu, "We're not like London here. Speeding isn't a big problem, but the key is driving without a license. The police will seize the illegal vehicle."
Vincent realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was not in a hurry at all.
"Ced and Cho had a thrilling adventure yesterday, and today it's our turn."
Hermione looked out the window nervously, "What do you want to do? The police will blacklist your car."
Vincent tapped the steering wheel. "Let's have a thrilling adventure. I can't just park the car outside the station."
He had come from London, and if the Manchester police had been determined to catch him they would have chased him all the way to King's Cross Station.
Magic can certainly solve many problems, including hiding the car or making the police completely forget the whole thing.
Hermione's little heart beat even faster.
She was not afraid of getting into trouble, but she began to get excited involuntarily.
"You are becoming more and more lawless." Although she said that, her bright eyes were full of anticipation.
"Really?" Vincent turned the reverse gear paddle on the steering wheel and put the car back on the road. "You're not bad. If it were before, you would have started a long lecture."
Hermione pouted, "Have I ever been so annoying?"
Vincent chuckled and glanced in the rearview mirror, "It's gone now. It's super cute."
She also blushed and glanced at the rearview mirror, "Are you waiting for them?"
"How can it be called thrilling if we don't wait for them to set off together?"
The sirens were getting closer and closer, and several police cars appeared in the rearview mirror.
Vincent was slightly disappointed after recognizing the car model, "So I only have a one-star wanted list."
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
"What's a one-star wanted warrant?"
He stepped on the accelerator lightly and explained the wanted setting to Hermione.
★: No more than 10 police cars.
★★: The pursuit is intensified, with more than 10 police cars.
★★★: Police armed helicopters were dispatched to cooperate with police cars to carry out the arrest.
★★★★: More senior police officers were dispatched, and armored vehicles such as Hummers joined the arrest.
★★★★★: Special units are dispatched, driving special modified vehicles, equipped with submachine guns and some heavy weapons.
★★★★★★: Most wanted, all police officers are mobilized, and the military has dispatched military armed helicopters equipped with unconventional levels of heavy firepower.
As Hermione listened, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. "It's true that you are wronged by the one-star wanted list, but where did you get this setting from?"
"Give it to him—ahem, Earth Online."
"Earth OL? What is this?"
Vincent glanced at the police car getting closer in the rearview mirror and said, "Earth Online is an open-ended survival game with no restrictions."
He speeded up a little, "In this game, players can freely explore, learn skills and knowledge, and experience a variety of rich gameplay, including dungeons such as school, work, and retirement."
Hermione nodded blankly, "So it's a video game. Have games developed to this level now?"
Vincent pointed out the window and said, "Earth Online is far beyond your imagination. Its map is vast, and the character models and scenes are exactly the same as the real world.
This game has a large number of players, but once you fail, your account will be permanently cancelled, and you need two veteran players of the opposite sex to provide a guide for beginners before you can re-register. "
"Huh?" Hermione finally understood.
What video games, what "Earth OL", they are clearly talking about the real world.
She looked at the police car getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror, "Then you must have a cheat code in this game, right?"
Vincent smiled confidently, "It's only a one-star wanted list now, there's no need to cheat."
