#748 - Public Execution (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"Hahaha! I don't care who you are, is the Ministry of Magic so pathetic now that they'd let a pig be Minister?"

Voldemort laughed wildly, then turned to look at Anduin. "What's the point of saving such a Britain? It's because of these vermin that the wizarding world is gradually declining, letting those Mudbloods slowly climb over us. Join me, Anduin! Only the strong like us are worthy to rule the world!"

Being mocked by Voldemort like this, not only Fudge but also the other wizards and Ministry of Magic officials sitting beside the judgment table looked unsightly.

Regardless of how well Fudge was doing as Minister for Magic, he was still the highest leader of the current Ministry of Magic, how could they allow anyone to insult him at will.

At the same time, the wizards who were watching couldn't help but look at Anduin, because Voldemort clearly regarded him as an equal opponent, otherwise, he wouldn't have said those words.

Some of them were even worried about Anduin's position, if the other party really cooperated with Voldemort, they would probably be completely unable to resist, and the most nervous of them was Fudge, this guy always liked to be suspicious.

However, Anduin's response not only dispelled the thoughts of those who had such ideas but also made their scalps tingle.

Anduin smiled coldly at the Soul-Sucking Orb, "You're already a prisoner, yet you dare to talk nonsense. A fool should have the awareness of a fool!"

Then, a series of electric currents surged from his palm again, piercing directly into Voldemort within the orb.

"Ah!!!"

It was the familiar wailing sound again, but when they heard it again, those who had been insulted by Voldemort couldn't help but feel secretly happy, while the others around them gasped.

This was Voldemort! The former Dark Lord actually had no room to resist in Anduin's hands.

"Stop!" A pure-blood family member somewhat excitedly stopped him, "How dare you! How dare you arbitrarily humiliate the Dark Lord?"

"Oh?" Anduin turned his head with a sneer, while increasing the strength in his hand, "If I remember correctly, you're Camille Nott, you were the one who kept suspecting whether he was the real Voldemort, how is it? Are you sure you haven't mistaken him now?"

After saying that, Anduin sneered at Voldemort, "I can't believe it, Voldemort, you've been gone for so many years, and there are still people loyal to you!"

Camille's face turned pale instantly when he heard this, he knew he had been impulsive, actually standing up to speak for Voldemort.

And the expressions of the others around him were full of playfulness and disgust, obviously, his identity had been exposed, thinking of this, he suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely and quickly drew out his wand with lightning speed.

"All Death Eaters, listen up, kill Anduin quickly and rescue the master! Blasting Curse!"

After Camille shouted loudly, he threw his wand fiercely towards the center of the trial hall, he had thought of a countermeasure in an instant, as long as he detonated the Blasting Curse in the center of the hall, causing chaos, he would definitely be able to take the opportunity to rescue the Dark Lord!

And with his call, several wizards around him responded, including two who were also from the Nott family like him, two Selwyn family wizards, and one Avery family wizard.

They were all members of the Pure-Blood Twenty-Eight families, and these families had been loyal followers of Voldemort during the First Wizarding War, providing a lot of support for the Death Eaters.

It was a pity that after the war, these people had escaped the Ministry of Magic's purge due to the operations of their families behind them, but they were always waiting for Voldemort's return.

Unfortunately, Voldemort did return, but the way he returned was a little special.

These former Death Eaters suddenly turned violent, which did cause a burst of commotion, the wizards around who were watching did not expect that someone would dare to use force in public, so most of them didn't even have time to react.

But this did not include Anduin, the Aurors in charge of security at the scene, as well as Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, and others.

The moment Camille turned violent, Anduin flicked his wand and pointed forward, and then a Binding Curse as fast as lightning accurately hit the opponent.

Camille didn't even have time to finish reciting the spell, and was tightly bound by a strong magic chain.

The other Death Eaters had just wanted to attack when they were countered by Dumbledore and a group of Hogwarts professors, as well as the Aurors on the scene.

Almost everyone was hit by several jinxes, and as soon as they got up, they were knocked down by the spells that flew over, either fainting on the spot or being firmly trapped and unable to move.

The others around were taken aback by the sudden change, but before the commotion could begin, it suddenly ended.

This made them feel both frightened by the madness of these Death Eaters and amazed at the reaction speed of the Aurors on the scene.

After solving those Death Eaters who were causing trouble, Anduin looked calmly at Fudge, "Minister, I didn't expect us to have unexpected gains! There should be no doubt about the identities of these wizards."

Fudge on the judgment table was stunned when he heard this, mainly because he was also frightened by these guys who suddenly turned violent, and even froze for a moment.

However, his previous sluggish expression, in the eyes of those who didn't know him well, represented composure, and everyone was probably muttering in their hearts.

I didn't expect this unremarkable Fudge to remain so calm at a critical moment.

No wonder he is the Minister for Magic, um, it seems that Voldemort was really arrested under his command.

Under Anduin's reminder, Fudge paused and gradually came back to his senses, then he immediately put on a stern face and shouted solemnly, "Department of Magical Law Enforcement! Quickly take Camille and the others into custody, daring to use force in the Ministry of Magic, and even trying to rescue Voldemort, you are really courting death!"

"Don't worry, everyone!" Fudge puffed out his chest righteously, "These Death Eater remnants may have escaped the justice of the trial in the past, but this time with me, I will definitely make them pay the price they deserve!"

"Long live Minister Fudge! Long live Mr. Wilson!"

Hearing Fudge's deafening speech, warm applause immediately rang out at the scene, accompanied by sporadic cheers.

They used to think that Fudge was a cowardly minister who only knew how to manage the economy, but they didn't expect him to have such a tough attitude.

Feeling the enthusiastic response from the scene, Fudge actually started to act, he just put on a straight face and looked calmly at Anduin, "Mr. Wilson, please continue, and please keep everyone calm, similar things will not happen again, we will do our best to ensure everyone's safety."

Hearing Fudge's words, the wizards on the scene spontaneously quieted down and refocused their attention on Anduin.

Seeing Fudge improve so quickly, Anduin couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said loudly, "Okay, please allow me to continue this trial."

"As for Voldemort's identity, does anyone still have any doubts?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, even the Death Eaters jumped out to save him, so how could Voldemort's identity be fake?

In addition, when Voldemort's voice appeared, many people who had experienced the First Wizarding War were very sure to identify Voldemort's identity, his iconic aura could not be imitated at all.

"Very good." Anduin nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew the electric current that had been entrenched on the Soul-Sucking Orb, and shouted sternly at Voldemort, "Voldemort! Do you see that? Today, this public trial will let wizards all over the world see your true face, and no one can help you anymore, next I advise you to confess honestly."

"What? Try me? Do you think you are qualified to try me?" Voldemort, who had been tortured, actually noticed everything that had happened before, but now he still had that stubborn attitude.

After choking, Voldemort scanned the people at the scene fiercely, "I advise you to release me quickly, otherwise, I will definitely make you repay me double in the future, I have remembered you! Ollivander! Greengrass! Macmillan! And you... Lucius, why are you sitting there like an idiot? Kill Anduin for me and rescue me from this broken orb!"

Voldemort's gaze, as solid as substance, swept across the faces of the wizards, while his mouth kept making murmurs like curses.

And those who were named by Voldemort, some lowered their heads silently because of fear, some glared back stubbornly, and some sneered indifferently.

As for Lucius, who was particularly taken care of by him, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't dare to resist Voldemort, and he didn't dare to act rashly on the spot, the fate of Camille and the others was still vivid in his mind, he only hated that there was no hole in the ground, so he couldn't drill into it.

But just when Lucius was awkward, Anduin suddenly interjected, but unfortunately not to save him.

"Lucius, didn't you see Voldemort asking? Facing his former master, the leader of the Death Eaters, don't you have anything to say?"

At Anduin's point, the eyes of everyone at the scene focused on Lucius at once.

And Lucius couldn't wait to swallow Anduin alive, wasn't this just trying to trick him? If I dare to say a good word about Voldemort, wouldn't you arrest me on the spot?

But if I publicly slander Voldemort, what if he really escapes one day, will I still have a way to survive?

Thinking of this, Lucius put on a straight face and pretended to be dead, preparing to use this to escape.

But Anduin's cold eyes pierced Lucius's skin like a sharp blade, obviously, the other party was not prepared to let him go.

Noticing this, Lucius understood that Anduin was preparing to force him to express his position! If he didn't give a satisfactory answer, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to walk out of this trial room intact today.

Thinking of this, Lucius looked around nervously, trying to see if anyone could help him, but the eyes of the people around him were full of doubts and jokes, obviously, he couldn't count on others.

This vengeful bastard!

Lucius cursed inwardly, then mustered all his courage, "I, Lucius, have long been unrelated to the Death Eaters and Voldemort, I used to be forced and intimidated by the Dark Lord Voldemort, so I had to join the Death Eaters, now my Malfoy family and this evil person are sworn enemies! Please don't mind his nonsense!"

After spitting out these words in one breath, Lucius collapsed on the chair as if he was exhausted, as if those words had used up all his strength.

"Well said! Sure enough, even if you were a Death Eater, there are still righteous people like Mr. Malfoy who know how to repent."

Anduin nodded appreciatively, then looked coldly at Voldemort, "See? You are now a stray dog that everyone betrays, I advise you to cooperate with the trial, otherwise, you will have a hard time."

"Lucius! You traitor! You chose to betray me like Severus? I will never let you go!"

Voldemort seemed not to have heard Anduin's threat, just roaring wildly like a mad dog, even trying again to break free from the Soul-Sucking Orb.

And it seemed that because Voldemort's emotions were unusually agitated at this time, the Soul-Sucking Orb was also constantly shaking, and the surface of the orb was also stirred up by bursts of magic waves.

Now everyone was shocked to see this, was Voldemort going to escape from it? Thinking of this, some individuals even got up from their seats quietly, preparing to escape from the trial room if the situation was not right.

But how could Anduin sit idly by and watch Voldemort mess around, the wild thunder that burst from his palm again once again plunged Voldemort into endless pain, and the Soul-Sucking Orb returned to calm again.

"Ah!!!"

Voldemort, who was stopped by Anduin again, roared loudly, on the one hand because of the soul-piercing pain, and on the other hand because of the anger he felt for the humiliation he had suffered.

"Shut up!"

After taking back his magic power, Anduin snorted coldly, then gave Fudge a suggestive look.

Fudge on the judgment table nodded knowingly, then opened a file in front of him and shouted at Voldemort, "Voldemort! Now the Ministry of Magic will question you one by one about the crimes you have committed, do you understand?"

"Get out! Do you think you are worthy to question me?" Voldemort didn't take Fudge seriously at all.

But Fudge ignored this, he didn't even care whether Voldemort cooperated or not, it didn't matter even if the other party didn't say a word.

After all, today's public trial, to put it bluntly, is to publicly execute Voldemort, a live show, and at the same time let the Ministry of Magic step on the other party's head to establish authority.

"I ask you!" Fudge read the contents of the document seriously, "During the period from 1970 to 1981, the 183 vicious attacks and murders against Muggles that occurred in the United Kingdom..."

"And the murders of Caradoc Dearborn, Benjy Fenwick, Fabian and Gideon Prewett brothers, Marlene McKinnon's family... a total of 47 wizards, and 63 wizards who were maliciously attacked, intimidated, and tortured, were they carried out by you personally or under the instructions of Death Eater members?"
