Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

"He should still be alive... right?"

The person's answer sounded somewhat unsure.

After a full-scale rescue effort, the cloaked wizard finally regained consciousness.

The old wizard didn't waste any words and went straight to the point asking:

"You heard what your partner said, right? Is there anything else you want to add? If you can provide some additional valuable information, I might let you die a more comfortable death."

After a moment of silence, the wizard hunter slowly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I admit defeat. Although I accepted this bounty, I don't actually know much more than anyone else. However, I do know one thing: some members of the team I assembled are in cahoots with the person who issued the bounty!"

Upon hearing his words, the old wizard's face showed a hint of interest, and he quickly said:

"Very good, this information is quite valuable. How did you know that?"

"Because according to the bounty hunter's letter, we were told to find a safe place to hide after we succeeded, and he would contact us afterwards, but he did not tell us where to hide or how to contact us."

At this point, the wizard hunter paused, then continued:

"Clearly, he was very confident he could find us afterwards. You know, our wizard hunter hideouts aren't easy to find! The most likely explanation is that one of our group members was one of theirs, which is why he was so confident he could find us!"

Hearing the wizard hunter's explanation, the old wizard slowly nodded, a glint of light appearing in his eyes. He then looked at him and slowly asked:

"So, who do you think is most likely that person?"

Chapter 88 The Suitcase for the Ministry of Magic

Upon hearing the old wizard's question, the cloaked wizard hunter remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said:

"I don't know, anyone could be, even him."

After saying that, he nodded in the direction of the bald wizard, which drew a protest from the bald wizard, who shouted that the matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing their reaction, the old wizard knew he wouldn't get any more information from them, so he nodded thoughtfully and finally asked:

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, then you can set off on your journey in peace, so you can look out for each other along the way."

Upon hearing the old wizard's words, the bald wizard immediately struggled to say:

“I’m not convinced! I really didn’t know that was the new leader of UMNO, I really didn’t know! Please, I’m willing to do anything for you! I can join UMNO, I’m still very powerful, I’m more valuable alive than dead!”

The old wizard looked at the struggling bald wizard and said coldly, without expression:

"Your only value now is to remind the wizarding world of our names!"

After saying this, the old wizard nodded to Austin Greengrass, who then raised his wand and pointed it at the bald wizard.

Avada Kedavra!

With a flash of green light, the bald wizard, who had been leaning back in his chair, turned completely pale and fell silent.

Then, the old wizard turned his gaze to the cloaked wizard hunter, who finally raised his head, glanced around, and shook his head without saying a word.

Avada Kedavra!

A moment later, another crack appeared on the ground of Knockout Alley. A moment later, the wizards of the Sorcery Party slowly emerged from underground, but Austin Greengrass had an extra suitcase in his hand compared to when he came.

At the same time, similar situations were occurring in other parts of the UK.

After escaping from Dumbledore's clutches, this group of wizard hunters from America, who had only temporarily come together, immediately scattered and fled to various parts of England.

It was precisely their dispersal that gave the Wushi Party the opportunity to defeat them one by one. Compared to the two wizard hunters hiding in Knockout Alley, the rest of the wizard hunters were even more vulnerable.

With almost no effort, the group of smuggled wizard hunters were found one by one by the Wusili Party and subjected to severe torture and interrogation.

Late at night, all the UMNO members who participated in the operation returned to the old house where they had previously gathered.

Everyone remained seated in their previous positions, but now, several different styles of suitcases were on the previously empty table.

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Abernathy, sitting at the head of the table, smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, it seems everyone is doing quite well. After all these years, you haven't lost your skills."

Afterwards, everyone recounted what had happened to them and the information they had obtained from their respective targets. The information was not significantly different from what Austin Greengrass and the others had obtained from the two wizard hunters in the air.

After everyone finished speaking, they noticed that Abernathy's smile had gradually disappeared, replaced by a furrowed brow.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other with surprise on their faces, not understanding what had happened.

After a moment of silence, Abernathy slowly spoke:

"So, none of the information anyone received contained anything about Thomas Revol, the former head of the Auror office at the British Ministry of Magic?"

Upon hearing Abernathy's question, everyone looked at each other, and finally all slowly shook their heads.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Abernathy stood up, paced around the room, and said thoughtfully:

"According to the young master's letter, Rufus Scrimgeour, the current head of the Auror office, inadvertently revealed that Thomas Revol's death was suspected to be related to wizard hunters. If Rufus's information is true, then there are now two possibilities."

At this point, Abernathy's gaze swept across the room, his eyes shining brightly as he said:

"First, these two groups of wizard hunters have different goals and are completely unrelated."

"Secondly, these two groups of wizard hunters are unaware of each other's existence, but their target is the same: our young master."

"If it's the first scenario, then that's fine. But if it's the second, then it means there's at least another group of wizard hunters lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike!"

Upon hearing Abernathy's analysis, the room erupted in chatter and discussion.

After much discussion, based on the available information, they were unable to deduce anything of value. Seeing this, Abernathy could only wave his hand and say:

"Alright, we'll discuss this later. I'll find a way to get the message to the young master and remind him to be careful."

"Gentlemen, I hope you understand that with the young master entering Hogwarts, representing the Grindelwald family's return to the wizarding world, it is time for us to make the wizarding world remember us. Let's all take action as soon as possible! For the greater good!"

After the gathering ended, the remaining wizards of the Sorcery Party all Apparated away from the room, but Abernathy left Austin Greengrass behind.

Under the cover of darkness, the two teleported together to a dirty street in London with a few dilapidated buildings, a bar, and a wall covered in graffiti. They then entered a run-down red telephone booth on the street.

This telephone booth is one of the passageways connecting to the British Ministry of Magic.

The two put the suitcases they were carrying into the red phone booth and then left.

Where are we going now?

After leaving, Austin Greengrass couldn't wait to ask questions. Everything that had happened today was completely different from his previous life, but amidst this sudden change, Austin Greengrass gradually felt an excitement in his body.

So, as soon as he was away from the British Ministry of Magic, Austin Greengrass was eager to get on his next mission.

Upon hearing Austin Greengrass's question, Abernathy smiled with satisfaction and casually replied:

"Don't rush, Austin, it's still early. Let's grab a drink first, then we'll go find someone. As far as I know, journalists work very late, and we should respect their profession."

Upon hearing Abernathy's answer, Austin Greengrass gave a puzzled look and said with some surprise:

"Reporter? Do you want to publish an ad?"

"It's not me, it's our little master."

Abernathy replied casually.

Chapter 89 Rita Skeeter's Home

Late at night, when Rita Skeeter returned home, she was still full of excitement. Her recent report on Dumbledore had caused a great deal of controversy in the wizarding world, resulting in a huge sale of that issue of the Daily Prophet and a substantial reward for her.

Although the Daily Prophet and Rita Skeeter received many complaints from readers at the same time, she didn't care. After all, real money is the most tangible thing. Haters are still fans, and being famous for being controversial is still being famous.

Rita Skeeter returned home, and although it was late at night, she couldn't hide her joy. She casually opened the wine cabinet by her door, took out a bottle of red wine, poured herself a glass, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the lights in the room instantly turned on.

However, as the lights came on, Rita Skeeter was horrified to discover that an older wizard was sitting on the sofa in her room, head down, silently playing with his wand.

Behind that wizard stood a young wizard, wand in hand, his gaze fixed on him.

These two people were, of course, Abernathy and Austin Greengrass, who had been waiting at Rita Skeeter's house.

Upon returning home, Rita Skeeter, caught completely off guard, was startled by the sudden scene, and the wine glass in her hand involuntarily fell to the ground.

"Yugadimurleviosa!"

Seeing Rita Skeeter's wine glass fall, Austin Greengrass, standing behind Abnersey, gently waved his hand, and the levitation spell was precisely applied to the wine glass that Rita Skeeter had fallen, so that not a single drop of red wine fell out.

As a reporter for The Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter considered herself quite knowledgeable. If she were in a different place or in a different setting, and saw a wizard able to cast such a sophisticated levitation spell and control the magic so well, she probably wouldn't be able to resist praising him.

However, if it were a wizard who inexplicably appeared in her house in the middle of the night, Rita Skeeter felt a surge of unease.

Especially now, with the other party just quietly looking at her, seemingly sizing her up, Rita Skeeter didn't dare to breathe loudly.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the room.

A moment later, the wizard sitting on his sofa slowly asked:

"Rita Skeeter? You wrote that article about Albus Dumbledore in the Daily Prophet?"

Upon hearing the question, Rita Skeeter seemed to instantly understand the purpose of the other person sneaking into her room in the middle of the night.

So Rita Skeeter quickly spoke up:

"I did write that article, but it was just for the sake of newspaper sales. If the principal is not satisfied, I can correct it immediately!"

Rita Skeeter believed that Abernathy was most likely sent by Dumbledore at this moment, so she immediately tried to appeal to his emotions.

As a wizard who graduated from Hogwarts, Rita Skeeter has no problem addressing Dumbledore as Headmaster.

But to Rita Skeeter's surprise, the other person chuckled dismissively and then said nonchalantly:

"Whether Dumbledore lives or dies has nothing to do with me. It's just that your report has greatly displeased our young master!"

Upon hearing Abernathy's answer, Rita Skeeter was once again bewildered. She hadn't expected that the other party wasn't one of Dumbledore's people! As for the "little master" the other party mentioned, Rita Skeeter was also completely baffled and had no idea what it meant.

But then, Abernathy pointed to a sofa next to him, gesturing for Rita Skeeter to come and sit down.

Rita Skeeter didn't dare to delay and quickly came over. Under Austin Greengrass's control, the glass of red wine slowly floated over and was placed next to Rita Skeeter.

Seeing this, Rita Skeeter quickly expressed her gratitude, as if she were the guest and Abernathy was the owner of the room.

Seeing that Rita Skeeter had settled down, Abernathy didn't waste any words and took out a piece of paper from his person and handed it to Rita Skeeter.

The letter contained a press release that Rozier had personally written at Wentworth's request.
