#111 - Yaxley

"Alright, I'm here on serious business this time. These items are entrusted to me by the Dark Lord to be placed here with you. Remember to take good care of them. Your place is less conspicuous, and your vault is relatively hidden. Do you understand what this means? It represents the master's trust in you, and it's a great honor." Yulia took out a package and said.

Lucius, upon hearing the name of the Dark Lord, immediately shrunk back his head nervously. "Is that so? Thank you for the master's grace, allowing me to have the honor of serving the future ruler of the wizarding world."

Lucius respectfully took the package, left his spot, and appeared to be going to store the items.

Staying behind, Yulia smiled and looked at Narcissa. "By the way, Narcissa, how has your sister Bellatrix been lately? It's been a while since I last saw her."

"She's been by the Dark Lord's side all the time. I haven't seen them in a long time either. I heard her husband was ordered to build a secret base in Mole Valley in Surrey. Maybe it won't be long before we can gather there," Narcissa said with a smile.

After the two young women chatted for a few more sentences, Lucius walked out, but still holding something in his hand. He handed the item in his hand to his sister and said, "I know the Travers family has that thing. This was collected by our father from an Egyptian wizard many years ago. It's said to be a very rare prototype rune. Unfortunately, father had that accident later, so he couldn't completely decipher it before he died. Now the magic power of this recording crystal is about to dissipate, and I can't completely transfer it to another recording crystal. You should record it onto that one."

Yulia took the crystal, complaining as she looked at Lucius, "Look at you, you don't even try to improve yourself. You can't even properly preserve your father's legacy."

Lucius curled his lips. He knew his magical skill was limited, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Yulia for help.

At this point, the scene once again turned into a cloud and dissipated. Anduin also ended his Legilimency spell, muttering in a low voice, 'Mole Valley in Surrey? That's very close to where the Longbottoms were attacked. Also, these pure-blood families sure have a lot of good stuff.'

At this moment, although only a dozen seconds had passed, Sample felt as if he had spent several hours. All the secrets of his body had been seen through by the man in front of him. He was flushed with shame and anger, looking at Anduin with venom.

"How dare you, how dare you spy on the secrets of the noble Travers family!" Sample said hatefully.

"Heh, in my eyes, you so-called noble pure-blood families are just a joke. You should probably ask yourselves, how do you have the audacity to provoke me?" Anduin contemptuously threw Travers to the ground.

Then, with a wave of his wand, everyone floating in the air fell to the ground. Anduin smiled mockingly at these guys and said, "I'll let you go today, but I'm confiscating your wands. If you want them back, prepare a ransom of 20 Galleons each. After all, this is your first wand."

Anduin chuckled one last time before turning around and leaving the bathroom.

Travers watched Anduin leave triumphantly, itching with hatred. He punched the floor of the bathroom, then couldn't help but grimace in pain.

"What do we do now?" A pure-blood little wizard next to him asked, trembling. He was still lingering in fear from what had just happened.

"What else can we do? First, wake up that idiot Wilkes, and then see if there's any way," Travers said hatefully.

"What? That guy took all our wands?" Wilkes exclaimed as he woke up.

"Yes, Senior Wilkes, that guy is too domineering. Not only did he beat us up, but he also robbed us," a pure-blood little wizard complained.

"Damn it, why don't we report it to the head of house? Anyway, that guy made the first move. Let's get the wands back first, and then find a chance to deal with that guy later," another pure-blood little wizard said.

"No, this shameful matter can't be publicized. Besides, it's hard to accuse him if we weren't caught on the spot. What if that bastard destroys all our wands in a fit of anger? Even if the head of house helps us, he won't receive any substantial punishment, at most a period of detention," the fellow fourth-year little wizard said.

"In this way, let's go find Prefect Yaxley and have him help us think of a way. Today's humiliation, I must return it a hundredfold to that mudblood," Wilkes said viciously.

"Daring to disrespect the Travers family, I must make him pay for it with blood!" Sample Travers shouted, feeling more and more angry the more he thought about it, full of resentment.

"Yes, make him pay with blood." The others echoed in unison.

After thinking about it, the group cleaned themselves up and walked aggressively towards the Slytherin common room.

Meanwhile, after a while, a 'woo woo woo' crying sound came from a cubicle in the bathroom. A female student ghost wearing glasses floated out of it.

"So scary, that little wizard scared Myrtle to death. Fortunately, I hid well just now, otherwise I might have to die again." Myrtle touched her tears, recalling everything that had just happened in the bathroom. The aura on that little wizard scared her so much that she didn't dare to show her face.

Slytherin Dormitory, inside Roly Yaxley's room.

A group of little wizards who had been beaten by Anduin squeezed in, constantly telling Yaxley about everything they had just encountered.

"In other words, seven of you were taught a lesson by a second-year Muggle wizard? And you lost your wands?" Yaxley looked at everyone speechlessly. "You've simply disgraced the pure-blood wizarding families!"

"That guy's methods are vicious, and he doesn't put us in his eyes at all. He even said he's going to come after you in the future," Wilkes added fuel to the fire.

"Hmph!" Yaxley glared at Wilkes, then roared, "Ignorant little bastard."

"Yes, that guy is ridiculously arrogant. You have to stand up for us. Tonight, let's go find that kid and give him a hard time, so he knows how powerful we are," Travers said hatefully.

Yaxley squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice, "No, Professor Bones has been watching me very closely recently, and Vanessa will definitely stand up for that guy. At most, we can make that guy suffer a little in Hogwarts."

"Then what do you say we do?" Wilkes asked.

"Wait until he leaves Hogwarts before making a move. I know you've been watching that guy all along. Christmas is coming soon. You guys pay attention to that kid's movements during the holidays. As long as he leaves the school, we can naturally block him," Yaxley said.
