Chapter 430：

The Asian wizard had become accustomed to Gauss's inconsistent behavior. He returned to Selwyn's castle and took out the parchment from his pocket.

The above list of families has basically been eliminated.

Gauss held a box and said, "The boss didn't say you can't make extra money. We'll split the money 50-50."

"I only earn what I deserve." The Asian wizard ignored him.

In Selwyn Castle, every life was wiped out.

Not only here, five pure-blood families were wiped out overnight.

"That's right," Gauss took out a piece of human skin from his pocket, picked up a wand and pointed it at the skin, and the Black Mark appeared over Selwyn Castle.

Chapter 454 The Emerald Ring under the Moonlight

Old Batty left and came back.

He didn't seem to have thought that John would dare to do this.

That was a pure-blood family, and five of them were wiped out just like that.

"Do you still have the Ministry of Magic in your eyes?"

This was the first time Old Batty got angry in front of John.

Everyone was kicked out, and in the empty manor, he was like a furious lion, banging his palms on the table loudly.

John leaned back in his chair and listened quietly to Old Barty angrily telling him what a mess the Ministry of Magic was in.

He also told John what he had done inside.

Amelia Bones demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, and Aurors visited every family overnight.

Such bad things have made people panic.

If you are not careful, old Barty will be dragged down by Amelia.

This is something old Batty cannot tolerate.

Although he has always cooperated with John, this behavior was beyond the scope of his tolerance.

After Old Barty roared out his emotions, John spoke calmly.

"Old Barty, I'm very happy that despite this situation, you are still running for your friends."

His words made Old Batty sit down and remain silent.

"Yes, they are dead," John rubbed his fingers on the alexandrite, his voice flat, "But where is the evidence?"

"Everyone can think of who did it," Old Barty stared at John and said coldly, "As soon as something happened to Old Jack, you took action."

"No, Old Barty, you are wrong." John was not wearing a mask, so Old Barty could clearly see the curve of the corner of his mouth, "Even if there was nothing wrong with Old Jack, I would do it."

"You..." Old Batty's eyes widened, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

A black owl flew in from the window sill and stood on the railing.

John said noncommittally: "No Auror came, does this mean you suppressed it?"

Old Batty did not answer, but frowned, "Answer my question, John Wick!"

"Well, since you want to know," John shrugged, with a devilish smile on his face, "I'm doing it for you, Old Barty."

"For me? Nonsense!" Old Batty snorted.

John was not angry, and said easily: "Carol, Rolle, Selwyn, Jeffrey, Monroe."

The families that disappeared in this attack were read out one by one, and Old Batty's brows never relaxed.

"What do you think Voldemort needs most right now?"

Without waiting for Old Barty to answer, John said to himself: "Human? No, he needs to make society chaotic. Only enough chaos can allow him to win over more people."

"These five families are hiding or tending to Voldemort, and their existence is a factor of social instability."

Old Batty said: "So you killed them directly?"

"No, no, no," John shook his index finger and said with a faint smile, "I'm not that cruel."

"They want to cause chaos in society. What do you think is the best way?"

Old Batty was not a fool. Hearing John say this, he thought.

After a while, Old Batty gave his answer.

"Ministry of Magic."

"Bingo," John snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "the werewolf group is migrating to the werewolf community, and the community is growing day by day."

"Old Jack is a member of the Ministry of Magic, and he is also the representative and leader of werewolves. His death will provoke a war of discrimination hidden under the veil of peace."

"If there is a riot among werewolves on such a large scale, the result will directly allow the Ministry of Magic to make a decision."

Before John could finish speaking, old Barty was sweating on his forehead and said in disbelief: "Replace the Minister of Magic?"

"Yes, that's right." John said, "A scapegoat, but also a pure-blood family member."

"The werewolf's resentment will be transferred to you, and the re-competition phase will become a period of chaos."

"Werewolves are dissatisfied with the magical society and easily fall into the dark lineup."

Every time John said something, Old Barty felt frightened.

"These five families are within the scope of my liquidation," John smiled calmly, "They did not bow their heads at the last gathering."

"Moreover, their deaths will not cause dissatisfaction from other families."

He knocked on the table casually, and several thick books flew off the bookshelf.

The booklets were opened in front of Old Batty.

"The Flint family and Monroe had a dispute over potions, and members of the Prewett family were killed by the Carrow family."

"Selwyn took away many of the Longbottom family's material supplies."

"Roll had a political feud with Greengrass and also suppressed Arthur Weasley in the Ministry of Magic."

"Jeffrey and Shacklebolt also had a fight about pulling out their wands."

A piece of bill, a piece of data.

Everything was put in front of Old Barty. What John had killed were five families. They were simply five hated bugs.

"I originally wanted to use suppression to gradually make them bankrupt, but now..."

John touched the head of the black long-eared owl Riddle and said casually: "It was them who handed the knife to me."

Old Barty silently opened the parchments one by one, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.

Under the planning of these families, it seems easy to overthrow a Minister of Magic.

It is easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

They are vipers in the gutter, ready to bite Old Barty at any time.

Old Barty had seen it all, so John stood up and walked to stand behind Old Barty.

He put his hands on Old Barty's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Old Barty, we are friends, people on the same boat. Just as you refused to be accompanied by the Auror, I also made my return."

"Five families with ulterior motives gained an unshakable position."

"No," Old Barty raised his head and refuted John's words, he said, "They are a group of Death Eaters who were liquidated by Voldemort."

John smiled, and Old Barty was convinced.

No one has a good impression of someone who wants to take him down.

John did a very clever thing, and the Dark Mark floated in the sky of every family.

Although many people know that Voldemort is unlikely to take action at this time, as long as the people believe it, it will be fine.

Old Barty's face was cold, and John showed him that his position was not absolutely stable.

But, is John worthy of his wholehearted trust?

Old Batty looked deeply at John and said, "What do you want?"

"We are friends, Old Barty." John said with a bright smile.

But Old Batty knows that friends are the biggest creditors.

He left Silverhand Manor.

Before leaving, he looked back at that place.

The people on the balcony were blurry, but the jade ring was particularly dazzling.

The alliance of pure-blood families is indeed powerful, but in the face of the power that determines life and death, it is like a ridiculous trick.

…

"The tragedy of five families, the truth turned out to be..."

"Equality of werewolves is on the agenda again, Minister Crouch delivers a speech"

"Darkness never leaves us, it will only crawl in the darkness"

"Guarding Christmas, Lockhart Arrives in Person"

Public opinion must always be in the hands of the strong.

The Ministry of Magic has experienced a huge crisis, but it is only mentioned in just one sentence.

Voldemort unfortunately took the blame, and the Ministry of Magic stepped up its defenses.

The deaths of five families were revealed in this way.

As for the unwritten rules among pure-blood families?

When the whale falls, all things come into being.

John did not touch the five family properties.

Cannibalized by other families.

The family that has benefited will only send a roaring letter to the Ministry of Magic in a symbolic way.

Among them, three families received the most, namely Malfoy, Greengrass, and Longbottom.

Longbottom took over the materials market, Greengrass opened up the potions market, and Malfoy entered the Quidditch ranks.

After absorbing those industries, the strength of the three families suddenly became the three richest among the twenty-eight sacred tribes.

Sometimes, a big pie falls from the sky, and you have to be forced into it if you want to hide.

Lucius happily opened two bottles of expensive Silverhand Wine Cellar premium wine.

Greengrass bought Astoria a new Firebolt.

The Longbottom family heard that Neville had custom-made clothes with very good elasticity.

Other families who have not reaped the benefits want to jump around, but it is a pity that they are trying to scare the monkeys.

They all know who those families died for.

John interviewed several families, and the Gower and Crabbe families stated that they were definitely not involved.

John believed it, because he didn’t know if it was a genetic problem, but the people from these two families all seemed to have upright faces.

Just like the elderly versions of Goyle and Crabbe.

The most difficult thing for Old Barty was solved by John.

As long as there are enough interests, those agreements are nothing more than empty words.

If you add an unbreakable oath, maybe they will abide by it honestly.
