I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

"Humph!"

Genichi Hanyu gave Dumbledore one last cold glance, wasting no more time.

The power of space around him fluctuated, and his figure instantly became blurred. The next moment, he completely disappeared from the principal's office, as if he had never existed.

However, the chilling killing intent he left behind and the ultimatum-like threat still lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate.

It wasn't until several seconds after Genichi Hanyu left that the almost frozen atmosphere in the principal's office eased slightly.

A portrait on the wall couldn't help but break the silence first.

The portrait depicted an arrogant wizard with black curly hair, thick eyebrows, and a luxurious velvet hat—this was Phineas Nigellus Black, one of the most unpopular headmasters in Hogwarts history and an ancestor of the Black family.

He began in his characteristic drawn-out, sarcastic tone: "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this, look at our great Albus Dumbledore being threatened to his nose by a mere brat, a student from his own school, and not daring to utter a sound. And yet you're touted by the outside world as the greatest white wizard in history?"

"You've truly disgraced all the previous headmasters of Hogwarts! I think you might as well just hand over your headmaster position to that fierce-looking brat!"

Phineas Black had always disliked Dumbledore, and now that he had the chance, he naturally did his best to be sarcastic.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, it was like a drop of water being poured into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting the entire principal's office!

"Shut up, Phineas! You idiot!"

"What do you know! You stubborn old fogey who only understands pure blood theory!"

"Didn't you feel the power of that being just now? Is that something we can afford to provoke?!"

"Dumbledore is putting the greater good before sacrificing his own interests!"

"Give him a punch! I've disliked him for a long time!"

Almost all the portraits of the principals on the wall, regardless of which college they belonged to or what their personalities were, were now united in their hatred and were cursing at Phineas Black's portrait!

In some of the portraits, the headmaster, such as a fierce-looking red-nosed wizard, directly controls himself in the frame, raising his fist and smashing it at Phineas's portrait!

Although the frames cannot cause physical damage to each other, this gesture clearly demonstrates their anger.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you ganging up on him? Did I say something wrong? Wasn't he being threatened?"

Phineas Black awkwardly dodged within the picture frame, still muttering defiantly.

"Idiot! Those aren't ordinary students! They're walking natural disasters!"

A female principal wearing an ornate wig shrieked.

"It's wise for Dumbledore not to respond. If you anger them, the entire Hogwarts could be razed to the ground. Do you want to see that happen?!"

"Exactly, and the Worley family's affairs are very complicated; Dumbledore has his own difficulties!"

Another principal chimed in.

"Hit him, tell him to shut up!"

"Turn his portrait to face the wall!"

The portraits on the wall were in a noisy argument, even staging a full-blown fight. Although the actions were only within the frames, they still looked incredibly lively.

Phoenix Fox tilted its head, watching the farce unfold, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Phineas Black was quickly overwhelmed by the verbal abuse and physical attacks from the principals, leaving him isolated and helpless.

This fully proves that even within the small circle of past principals, his title as the most unpopular principal in history is well-deserved, as his interpersonal relationships were extremely poor.

Dumbledore did not stop the portraits from arguing. He simply sat there quietly, his gaze behind his half-moon spectacles fixed on the window, seemingly looking at a very distant place, his eyes filled with a weariness and heaviness that no one could understand.

He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it: "I hope my choice of 013 wasn't wrong..."

At this moment, Genichi Hanyu had already used Apparition to pinpoint the location of the Worley family's ancient manor in a secluded valley in England, based on his memories.

His figure, like a vengeful ghost, silently descended upon the moss-covered, eerie, and tightly closed iron gate of the manor.

Looking at the manor before him, which seemed shrouded in ominousness and silence, Genichi Hanyu felt no appreciation, only icy anger and anxiety.

Cassandra, I'm here.

Whatever the trouble, I'll take care of it all for you today!

He raised his hand, too lazy to even look for the doorbell or call for help, and was about to resort to the most brutal method—

However, just a second before his power was about to erupt, a shrill, all-too-familiar cry suddenly echoed from inside the manor—

A woman screaming!

It was Cassandra's voice!

Moreover, his voice was filled with terror and anger!

"court death!"

The last shred of reason in Yuzuru Gen's eyes was instantly consumed by rage!

He no longer had any scruples, and his violent divine power erupted like a tsunami!

"Boom!!!"

The massive iron gate, a symbol of the ancient history and glory of the Worley family and imbued with countless protective magic spells, along with a long stretch of tall stone wall surrounding it, shattered into dust as easily as paper under Genichi Hanyu's furious strike!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Genichi Hanyu, like a demon god returning from hell, strode through the ruins and entered the Worley family's manor.

A bloody battle is now inevitable.

341 Cassandra Forced into Marriage

That piercing scream was like the sharpest ice pick, stabbing hard into Genichi Hanyu's eardrums and completely igniting the suppressed anger and worry in his heart!

The sound was coming from the direction of the banquet hall in the main building deep inside the manor!

Without any hesitation, and even surpassing the steps required for Apparition to concentrate, the spatial rules around Genichiro Hanyu automatically twisted and folded like a docile servant!

Almost instantly, his figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the luxurious yet tense banquet hall, as if tearing through space!

His arrival was so sudden and silent, yet it carried a chilling, almost tangible pressure that instantly plunged the banquet hall, which had been filled with arguments and screams, into a deathly silence!

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the suddenly appearing figure.

Genichi Hanyu's gaze immediately locked onto Cassandra Worre, a figure surrounded by several male sorcerers with unfriendly expressions and whose back was to him, with laser precision!

Seeing that she did not seem to have suffered any physical harm, but was just emotionally agitated, Genichi Hanyu's heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly settled down, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

Cassandra, who had her back to him, seemed to sense the unusual spatial fluctuations and the sudden deathly silence behind her.

She turned around slowly, somewhat puzzled and wary.

When she saw the figure standing in the center of the hall, with black hair and black eyes, a tall and straight posture, and a look of worry on his face that was also incredibly familiar, her beautiful eyes, which were now even brighter with anger, were instantly filled with immense shock and disbelief!

Cassandra's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, as if she were hallucinating from the immense pressure, "When did you get back?!"

Genichi Hanyu quickly walked to her side and naturally used his body to separate her from the several male sorcerers with unfriendly expressions, forming a protective stance.

He quickly looked her up and down to make sure she was really alright before replying, "I just got back."

He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, attempting to ease her tension.

"We couldn't find you at Hogwarts or Hogsmeade, so we went to Dumbledore to ask, and that's how we learned you went back to the Worley family."

He gave a brief explanation, and then his eyes, which had instantly turned cold and sharp, swept over the other people in the banquet hall as if they were looking at trash—mainly the few well-dressed but mean-looking male wizards who had just seemed to be aggressive towards Cassandra, as well as a few elderly men sitting in the main seats with gloomy faces and no words.

"what happened?"

Genichi Hanyu's voice deepened, carrying an undeniable questioning tone.

"Who are these people? What do they want to do to you?"

Upon hearing Genichi Hanyu's question, Cassandra snapped out of her shock at the reunion, remembering that she was still in trouble with her family and that her family's affairs were still unresolved!

Her expression tightened instantly, and her characteristic arrogance and stubbornness returned to her face.

She even slightly raised her chin, trying to push Genichi Hanyu away a little, as if she didn't want him to see her disheveled state.

"I have other things to take care of."

Cassandra's tone carried a hint of feigned composure and detachment.

"We'll talk about this later. You wait here for a moment while I deal with these people!"

She tried to position Genichi Hanyu as a bystander who needed to wait, wanting to face the predicament alone and maintain her proud self-esteem.

Upon hearing this, Yuzuru's gaze instantly turned even colder. He glanced again at the male sorcerers in front of him, who seemed somewhat surprised and uncertain because of his appearance, yet still had unfriendly eyes, as well as the elderly men sitting upright, as if they were exerting pressure.

"Do you need my help?"

Genichi Hanyu asked directly, his tone calm, yet containing a chilling intent that could freeze one's soul.

He wouldn't even mind letting everyone here die if Cassandra just nodded.

However, Cassandra's reaction was exactly what he expected.

"unnecessary!"

She refused almost immediately, raising her voice slightly, with the stubbornness and pride characteristic of the Worley family.

"This is an internal matter of the Worley family. I can handle it myself. Don't interfere!"

Seeing her stubborn appearance, where she was clearly in a bad situation but still insisted on maintaining her pride and independence, Genichi Yuzuru couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

She's as arrogant as ever.

His personality hasn't changed at all.

Even if they could easily rely on others to solve their problems, they insist on bearing the burden themselves.

However, while I understand, I, Yi Lin (seven) ba si ni si wu yu sheng xian yi, will not simply stand idly by.

Was he supposed to just stand by and watch Cassandra get bullied by this group of obviously ill-intentioned guys?

Absolutely impossible!

Since she wouldn't let him help openly, he would try a different approach.

"Ok."

On the surface, Genichi Hanyu seemed to be persuaded. He shrugged, making a gesture of "go ahead," and even took a half step back, as if he really intended to stand by and watch.

But his eyes, like those of the most cunning hunter, began to carefully observe every person and every detail in the banquet hall.

His divine sense, like invisible mercury, spread silently and instantly enveloped the entire banquet hall.

The heartbeat, breathing, blood flow, and even the slightest mental fluctuations of everyone in the hall were clearly reflected in his perception.

The male wizards surrounding them had racing hearts and their blood rushing to their muscles; they were clearly tense and ready to fight, and their eye contact was full of malice.

The elderly men in the main seats had steady heartbeats, but their mental fluctuations were filled with calculation, indifference, and a scrutinizing gaze as if they were looking at an object, mainly focused on Cassandra.

Cassandra's heart was racing, and her breathing was slightly rapid. Clearly, she was far from calm on the surface. She was afraid, angry, but more than anything, she was resolutely stubborn.

Genichi Hanyu even heard echoes of some of their previous arguments—snippets about family responsibilities, arranged marriages, and marrying the heir of a pure-blooded family!

In an instant, Genichi Hanyu understood the gist of it!

Forced marriage!

Moreover, it was a forced marriage within the family!

They want to trade Cassandra's happiness for so-called family interests!

A chilling killing intent instantly spread through Genichi Hanyu's heart!

But his face remained expressionless.

Seeing that Genichi Hanyu had actually stepped aside, the male sorcerers seemed to regain their confidence.

One of the middle-aged male wizards, who appeared to be the leader, forced a fake smile and said to Cassandra, "Cassandra, stop being so stubborn. Obey and agree. It's better for you and for your family. That lord has taken a liking to you because you..."

He hadn't finished speaking—

"Crack!"

A very faint, almost inaudible, crisp sound.

The middle-aged wizard's expression froze abruptly! The rest of his words caught in his throat, turning into a strange "hoarse" sound. His pupils dilated sharply, filled with extreme pain and disbelief!

His jaw dislocated without any warning!

Not only that, he seemed to lose control of his balance in an instant, and with a thud, he fell directly to the ground, his body twitching slightly, emitting painful whimpers, and saliva uncontrollably dribbling from the corner of his mouth that could not be closed.

"!!!"
