Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 99 The Limitations of the Soul-Stealing Curse (Fourth Update)

Seeing the thin young man over there also start to sob, though without tears, Jerry couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Just now, I was facing a little girl on the rooftop, and I looked fierce and showed no mercy. Now you're telling us you were forced into it? You really think I'm a child?

"I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Picking up his wand, Jerry wasted no more time and went straight to the skinny young man who seemed the easiest to deal with:

"The soul leaves the body!"

In just a few seconds, the skinny young man was transformed into a blissfully silly fool under the influence of the Soul-Stealing Curse.

"Speak! Who are you, and why are you killing the wizard?"

The skinny young man immediately smiled and spoke:

"We are the Red Dragonfly Mercenary Squad, one of the world's top ten strongest mercenary squads, constantly undertaking assassination missions around the world. A week ago, our captain saw a mission on the dark web to assassinate a wizard, with a very high bounty, so we accepted it!"

"Red Dragonfly Squad, mercenary army, dark web, do you know who hired you?"

Jerry frowned.

"I don't know, you'll have to ask the captain!"

The skinny young man replied cheerfully.

Seeing that the skinny young man was unaware of the situation, Jerry put away his wand and turned to look at the burly man in the suit.

At this point, the burly man in the suit was dumbfounded. Could this really be happening?

As a seasoned mercenary with countless lives on his hands, the strong man in the suit possessed a will far stronger than that of an ordinary person, but even so, his pupils contracted slightly when he saw the effects of Jerry's Imperius Curse.

"Who is it?"

Jerry walked over.

The burly man in the suit immediately broke into a smile:

"I really don't know who this young man is. He's also anonymous, but I'm guessing it's most likely Kingpin. More than half of the criminal activities in the entire underground kitchen are related to him. You're here fighting criminals every day, but he's the one who suffers the most..."

No one wants their mind to be controlled, and the burly man in the suit was no exception, so he readily revealed all the information he knew and guessed.

However, Jerry didn't let him off the hook. Just to be on the safe side, he cast a Soul-Stealing Curse on him.

However, to Jerry's surprise, the Soul Reaper he released only controlled the burly man in the suit for less than ten seconds before he forcibly broke free.

"So it turns out that as long as one's will is strong enough, it really is possible to resist the control of the Imperius Curse!"

Looking at the burly man in the suit who had returned to normal, Jerry recalled the record of the Imperius Curse in Quirrell's notebook.

While the Imperius Curse is one of the three Unforgivable Curses and can control the mind of the person targeted, it is not absolute.

If the controlled party has a strong enough will, even if the Soul Reaper's Curse is successfully cast, it is very likely that the person can break free again. Moreover, if the Soul Reaper's Curse is cast on the same person multiple times, resistance will develop, leading to failure.

Indeed, if the Imperius Curse were truly 100% effective, the Death Eaters wouldn't have used the Cruciatus Curse to torture Neville's parents during the First Wizarding War.

The burly man in the suit in front of me may not seem very powerful right now, but he is the captain of one of the world's top ten strongest mercenary teams.

He had also spent time in a training camp in Siberia, undergone experiments with gene-based drugs, and had blood on his hands. How could such a person have a weak will?

That's why Jerry's Imperishable Curse failed after only a few seconds.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. As a superhero, it's normal to be targeted when he goes out to fight criminals every day.

As for the mastermind behind it all, he wasn't really interested. If it really was one of the underground forces in Hell's Kitchen, he wouldn't have gone to their door and killed them all.

It's not because he's particularly kind-hearted, or because he has his own unique beliefs like Spider-Man or Batman.

However, doing so would not be truly beneficial for him.

Not to mention that these organizations on the ground are intricate and complex, and even have great connections with government officials, it is simply unrealistic to eliminate them all.

Even if all of them were completely eradicated, new organizations of the same kind would still emerge in such an environment.

The world is not simply black and white; to have complete light without a trace of darkness would require the extinction of all humanity.

Most importantly, from his own perspective, if he really turns Hell's Kitchen into a place without criminals, what will happen to his little red star?

Although he wouldn't intentionally do bad things, he still had to earn the little red star, because it was the foundation of his strength.

Taking things too seriously could lead to short-sighted, unsustainable development.

As for what to do if they retaliate after this assassination attempt fails?

Let's do it then. Anyway, from today onwards, everyone will think Jerry is a little girl, no one will be able to find out his true identity, and he won't pose any danger to Haas and Elsa.

They could only focus their energy on attacking Jerry himself.

As Jerry's strength increases, he will only become more and more at ease dealing with attacks from underground organizations of ordinary people.

"The golden bell has fallen!" "His legs have frozen and he's dead!"

They put down the burly man carrying the rocket, then used a leg-locking spell to bind the legs of the four people to prevent them from running around in the box space, although they couldn't escape anyway.

Jerry walked out of the box via the escalator, pulled a network cable from his room to the lawn below, and then took out a laptop he had bought without permission from the small villa inside the space box. He plugged in the network cable and stood in front of the four of them again.

Ignoring the four men's continued pleas and attempts to gain sympathy, Jerry used a Soul Reaper's Curse to subdue the frail youth.

Then, by extracting the passwords to all of the frail young man's accounts from the thin young man, he donated all the enormous sums of money in those accounts to a website account called "Save the Children Foundation" through his notebook.

"Not bad, we even got a little red star!"

Looking at the panel, although there weren't a lot of little red stars, Jerry nodded in satisfaction.

It's strange that donating with his own money doesn't earn him a red star, but forcibly using the money of these mercenaries to make a donation does.

After removing the Soul-Stealing Curse, and ignoring the ashen-faced, thin young man, Jerry walked towards the burly man carrying the rocket launcher.

For mercenaries, money is the most important thing. They do such dangerous work, walking on the edge of life and death every day, all for money. Now Jerry wants to take all their money away. How can they be willing to accept that?

However, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice. The burly man carrying the rocket launcher was clearly not as strong-willed as the burly man in the suit who led him. He quickly succumbed to the Soul-Stealing Curse and obediently handed over all his accounts and secrets.
