I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Batty Sr. 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 Batty Sr. got angry in front of John.

Everyone was kicked out, and in the empty manor, he was like a raging lion, beating loudly on the table with his palm.

John leaned back in his chair, quietly listening to old Batty's furious recounting of the chaos of the Ministry of Magic.

He even told John what he did inside.

Amelia Bones demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, and the Aurors went to every house overnight.

Such a bad thing has already made people panic.

If one is not careful, old Batty will be pulled down by Amelia.

This is something Batty Sr. cannot tolerate.

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

After the old Batty was roaring out his emotions, John did not speak in a hurry.

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

His words made Old Batty silent after sitting down.

"Yes, they are dead," John rubbed his fingers on the emerald, his voice flat, "but what about the evidence?"

"Everyone can think of who did it," Old Batty stared at John, and said coldly, "Old Jack just had an accident, and you did it."

"No, old Batty, you're wrong." John didn't wear a mask, so old Batty could clearly see the curvature of his mouth, "Even if there was no old Jack thing, I would do it."

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

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

John said noncommittally: "No Auror came over, which means you suppressed it?"

Old Batty didn't answer, but frowned tightly, "Answer my question, John Wick!"

"Well, since you want to know," John shrugged, with a wicked smile on his face, "I'm for you, old Barty."

"For me? Nonsense!" Old Batty snorted coldly.

John was not angry either, and said relaxedly, "Carol, Rolle, Selwyn, Jeffrey, Monroe."

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

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

Without waiting for old Batty to answer, John said to himself: "Human? No, he needs to cause chaos in society. Only enough chaos can allow him to attract more people."

"These five families are all hidden or inclined to Voldemort, and their existence is a factor of social instability."

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

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

"They want to mess up society, what do you think is the best way?"

Old Batty is not a fool, he thought when he heard John say this.

After a while, Batty Sr. 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 even the representative and leader of werewolves. His death will provoke a war of discrimination under the veil of peace."

"With such a large-scale werewolf, if a riot occurs, the result will directly allow the Ministry of Magic to make a decision."

John didn't finish speaking, old Batty sweated from his forehead, and dared not answer: "Change the Minister of Magic?"

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

"The grudge of the werewolf will be transferred to you, and the stage of re-competition will become a period of chaos."

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

Every time John said something, Old Barty was startled.

"These five families are within my scope of liquidation," John smiled calmly, "they didn't bow their heads at the last gathering."

"Moreover, their death will not cause dissatisfaction among other families."

He knocked on the table casually, and a few thick booklets flew down from the bookshelf.

Those booklets were opened in front of Old Batty.

"The Flint family had a potion dispute with Monroe, and members of Prewett were killed by the Carlo family."

"Selwyn has taken many supplies from the Longbottom family."

"Rohr had a political rift with Greengrass and suppressed Arthur Weasley in the Ministry of Magic."

"Jeffrey and Shacklebolt had wand-drawing fights too."

One bill, one data.

Putting it all in front of old Batty, what John wiped out were five families, just five annoying bugs.

"I originally wanted to make them gradually bankrupt by means of suppression, but now..."

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

Old Batty silently opened the parchments, the more frightened he looked.

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

Guns are easy to hide, but arrows are hard to guard against.

They were vipers in the gutter, ready to bite Old Barty anytime.

Old Batty saw almost everything, John got up and stood behind Old Batty.

He pressed his hands on Old Batty's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Old Batty, we are friends, people on the same boat, just as you refused to come with the Auror, I also reciprocated."

"Five families with ulterior motives in exchange for an unshakable position."

"No," Old Batty raised his head and refuted John's words. He said, "It's a group of Death Eaters who were liquidated by Voldemort."

John smiled, and Barty Sr. was persuaded.

No one takes kindly to someone who wants to remove himself from power.

John did a brilliant thing, the Dark Mark floated in the sky of every family.

Although many people knew that it was impossible for Voldemort to act at this time, as long as the public believed it would be fine.

Old Batty's face was cold, and John let him see 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 Batty." John said with a bright smile.

Old Batty knew that friends were the biggest creditors.

He left Silverhand Manor.

Before leaving, he looked back at the place.

The people on the balcony were blurred, but the emerald ring was particularly dazzling.

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

...

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

"Werewolf equalization is on the agenda again, Minister Crouch delivers a speech"

"Darkness never leaves us, it only crawls in the shadows"

"Guarding Christmas, Lockhart Arrives in Person"

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

The Ministry of Magic has experienced a huge disturbance, but even mentioning it is only a short sentence.

Unfortunately, Voldemort was blamed, and the Ministry of Magic stepped up its defenses.

The deaths of the five families were revealed in this way.

As for the unwritten rules among pure-blood families?

When the whale falls, everything is born.

John did not move the five family properties.

Cannibalized by other families.

The benefited family will only send a Howler letter to the Ministry of Magic for a token.

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

Longbottom took over the materials market, Greenglass opened up the potion market, and Malfoy entered the ranks of Quidditch.

After absorbing those industries, the strength of the three families became the richest three of the 28 sacred families.

Sometimes, if you want to hide from the big pie that falls from the sky, you have to force it into it.

Lucius happily uncorked two bottles of the expensive Silverhand Cellar Premium Wine.

Greenglass buys Astoria new Firebolts.

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

The other families who didn't get any benefits wanted to jump up and down, but it was a pity to kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

They all know who those families died because of.

John interviewed several families, and the Gore and Crabbes said they were absolutely not involved.

John believed it, because he didn't know if it was a genetic problem. People from these two families all seemed to have that kind of straightforward face.

Like an older version of Gore and Crabbe.

The most difficult thing for old Batty 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 obey it honestly.
