Chapter 175: Chapter 172 - Conspiracies and Secrets (2)

Hogsmeade Village

Verucca, her dress bloodied and almost completely destroyed, arrived at a house and knocked on the door in a different, specific rhythm. A few moments later, the door was opened and she didn't hesitate to enter.

"Where have you been, Verucca?" Just as the red-haired woman with the green eyes was about to ask, she saw the sorry state of her old friend. "What in Merlin's name happened to you?"

The woman quickly approached and checked Verucca for injuries, and to her relief, there were no obvious wounds on her body, except for a large amount of blood that she assumed belonged to someone else. She walked over to a chair by the fireplace.

Walking over to a chair by the fireplace, Verucca sat down wearily and replied in a weak, exhausted tone. "I've been discovered by Dumbledore, Patricia."

Patricia Rakepick, a famous Curse-Breaker from Gringotts Bank, wore a horrified expression as she listened to her friend's words. She couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her skin.

"How did you escape?" Patricia asked in a frankly skeptical tone, discreetly drawing her wand; in her eyes, there was no way Verucca could escape Dumbledore's clutches.

Verucca looked at the wand in her friend's hand and didn't blame Patricia for being cautious. She was also surprised that she had escaped before; it was normal for Patricia to be skeptical of her for managing to escape from Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the world.

"Although I was arrested by Dumbledore, it was Asterion Black who tortured me, the boy is very inexperienced, I had my little wand hidden in my hair and managed to escape when Dumbledore called him to talk." Verucca practically leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes as she answered, she body and mind completely exhausted.

Asterion's torture was both physical and psychological, letting her fall to the bottom of the abyss of sheer terror and then pulling her up, giving her a little relief and hope.

But that relief and hope would soon turn back into sheer terror and pain. He repeated this cycle over and over again, and several times she almost died in the process, but she was healed by the Phoenix Tears.

But the Phoenix Tears didn't cure her mental exhaustion and damage, she was sure that her inner self was completely terrified at the thought of meeting that monster again, but her hatred for Asterion overcame any trauma and fear she possessed at the moment.

Patricia lowered her wand to listen to her words, she couldn't help but look at Verucca pitifully, she was sure that things hadn't been as easy as her friend had said.

Suddenly, a male voice with a strong oriental accent was heard in the house.

"Have we been discovered?" Verucca opened his eyes and saw a man in his thirties. His features told him he was from an Oriental region, China, Korea, or Japan. He had black hair and very dark brown eyes, almost black. He was wearing a white robe, which had earned him the nickname "White Robe Witch" in the wizarding community.

"Probably not, Kazuhiro-san, otherwise, with the coldness and cruelty of Albus Dumbledore and Asterion Black, we'd be imprisoned and tortured by now." Patricia commented, sitting down next to her friend and letting out a heavy sigh of worry.

Besides her, Verucca and Kazuhiro-san were the three R representatives in England, only the three of them would know how to communicate, so the chance of exposure was almost nil.

Kazuhiro Shiratori, a dark wizard, member of R and graduate of the Japanese Mahoutokoro School, nodded.

"I sent a message to my old Sensei Nakamura, now the Japanese Minister of Magic, and he said that everything was normal at Hogwarts, there was no sign that anything big was about to happen. Apparently, Dumbledore-Sama and Asterion-Sama haven't spread the news that you've been arrested." Kazuhiro spoke as he sat down across from the two women, his voice carrying a strong accent from his homeland, but respect was evident when he mentioned the two Special Grade wizards.

"I'll make a call to the chief." Patricia spoke, got up from her chair and went to her room, returning with a hand mirror in one hand.

She whispered a few words and the mirror began to glow brightly. Soon after, the image of a dark-skinned man wearing an elegant red suit appeared in the mirror.

He was the head of the R organization in England, the immediate boss of all three present in this small house.

"Pilgrim." All three stood and greeted the man with respect. He was one of the few Semi-Special Grades of the organization, of course they had to show respect.

"Do you three have anything important to report?" The pilgrim asked, raising an eyebrow at the sight of the three of them together. His voice was serious and dignified.

Verucca began to answer what she knew, and each time she spoke, the man's face grew darker.

When Verucca finished speaking, she saw that their leader had a pale face and a rare expression of fear that surprised everyone, including Patricia and Kazuhiro; what could a Semi-Special wizard be afraid of?

"Albus Dumbledore and Asterion Black." The pilgrim spoke, watching the two shadows in the corner of the room, he could see them even if he was blind!

"It seems that this organization doesn't just operate on English soil, but all over the world." When Verucca heard the voice, a chill ran through her body, her face went pale and a terror rose in her heart, paralyzing her with fear. She would never forget that voice, it was the same voice as the monster that had been torturing her for hours!

Verucca was too scared to move, but not Patricia and Kazuhiro, and when they both turned around, what they saw finally made them understand why their leader was showing an expression of fear.

"Even the Japanese Minister of Magic is involved, I must say I underestimated this organization called R." Dumbledore commented, looking at Kazuhiro. He and Asterion had listened to the entire conversation, including the involvement of the Japanese Minister of Magic, one of the Seven Special Grade Wizards participating in the International Tournament of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Dumbledore had really underestimated the scope of this organization; he hadn't expected someone so important to conspire with an illegal organization.

He dared say that this organization had already reached global proportions, involving countless countries around the world in a vast web of smuggled alchemical items, ancient relics, and forbidden magical tomes from centuries past. He suspected that many interesting people were involved in this illegal organization.

It could be said that it was quite a powerful organization, even in Dumbledore's eyes.

Asterion looked at the leader called Pilgrim and smiled coldly. "At last we meet, little mouse. Now that you're out of hiding, you've finally lost the nerve to plot against me."

Asterion spoke in a sarcastic tone as he saw the veiled fear on the face of the man in the mirror. He despised these people who only had the courage to conspire against him from the shadows.

Pilgrim's face didn't change at all at his words, the man calmed down and regained his former confident demeanor. "We are much greater than you think, Asterion Black! Even if it's just you and Dumbledore, you won't be able to destroy an organization with over a thousand years of history!"

Asterion and Dumbledore looked at the pilgrim curiously. Those words were truly arrogant and proud, especially to be said in front of them.

"You overestimate your existence, little mouse, even though you are protected by a network of interests around the world. I'm sure your leaders could sacrifice you to appease our wrath." Asterion's lips curved into a cold, sadistic smile as he said this, the drastic change in his face caused by her words making him feel very pleased.

He didn't like people being arrogant in front of him, especially when they were infinitely weaker than him!

Chapter 176: Chapter 173 - Conspiracies and Secrets (3)

"What are you going to do with them?" Asterion asked looking at Dumbledore, ignoring the ants who looked very frightened at the moment. He would rather kill them all until there were no members of this cancer called R left, but since he wasn't acting alone, he asked his temporary teammate.

Dumbledore stroked his long beard and looked at the three of them with a gentle smile for a long time before speaking. "We want to dig the worms out of the ground and the only thing that can do that is make a lot of noise."

Dumbledore's words made the three people's expressions change drastically, even the Pilgrim, who was listening to everything through the magic mirror, couldn't help but change his expression.

If his organization was revealed to the world, he could imagine that the upper echelons would give their lives to calm everyone down. It didn't matter if he was a semi-special class warlock with the potential to reach the special class. As long as he was Semi-Special, he was disposable in the eyes of the organization.

Only a Special Grade Warlock could do anything to protect him, but unfortunately, he was nowhere near the level he wanted to be!

Asterion frowned, although making a lot of noise really did make things a lot easier, but exposing such an extremely powerful organization could cause some problems that he didn't want to expose in front of the whole world.

"Are you sure? This kind of organization is probably already closely connected to countless countries, powerful families, and noble houses. If we mess with them, they might impose economic sanctions against England." Asterion commented in a calm tone. It would be problematic, but that was it, at most it would be problematic to bring down such a large network of economic interests.

However, House Black had been a noble house for a thousand years for a reason, and its political and economic power was very great, even internationally.

Besides, since he was the patriarch of House Black, Asterion assumed that many people wouldn't dare touch House Black's interests.

Still, Asterion didn't underestimate human greed. As Karl Max once said:

"At a profit of 10%, the businessman is stimulated; at 20%, he becomes bold; at 50%, he is reckless; at 100%, he tramples on all human laws; and at 300%, there is no crime that frightens him, not even the risk of the gallows.

Asterion didn't underestimate the greed of greedy businessmen, laws and morals were nothing compared to the money and power he brought with him.

As if reading the thoughts in Asterion's mind, Dumbledore let out a low, cheerful laugh, looked at the red-eyed young man and spoke in reassuring tones. "Don't worry, Asterion, even though I'm old, I've still got a bit of prestige left in these old bones."

Asterion didn't really doubt the man's words, being the most powerful man in the world had its privileges. In the eyes of the world, any Special Grade wizard was no different than a nuclear bomb, but Dumbledore was more, he was on a different level compared to the other Special Grade wizards, he was the Bomb Tzar!

The Pilgrim looked at these two people and thought he saw madmen, how could anyone think of fighting an organization that had existed for over a thousand years?

Even if it was Dumbledore, there was a limit to his arrogance. The man's face was extremely grim. "You ignore me as if I didn't exist, but understand that I am not an ant as you think."

Asterion and Dumbledore turned and smiled at the same time, both not hiding their sarcasm and contempt as they looked at the man reflected in the mirror.

Looking at the man standing proudly in the mirror, Asterion's lips curved into a cold smile, sarcastic words escaping his lips.

"You think we were just talking, little mouse?" Hearing Asterion's words, a bad premonition appeared in the pilgrim's heart.

"You must understand that each magic mirror must be connected to another in order for both sides to be able to conduct a conversation over a distance. This magical signal can be extremely weak for everyone else, almost imperceptible, but for us Special Grade Witches, no matter how weak a magical signal is, we can feel it." Every word that came out of Asterion's mouth made the pilgrim's face sink, he quickly turned off the mirror and even broke the extremely expensive magic item.

Seeing his reaction, Asterion smiled coldly and finished his last words: "If you think you can get away with conspiring against me, you filthy rat, I'll give you a painful and extremely agonizing death."

"I'll leave these three to you, Dumbledore, I'll take care of the cowardly little rat." Looking at Patricia, Verucca and Kazuhiro, Asterion spoke, snapping his fingers with an amused smile on his lips.

His words made the faces of the three people turn pale, they knew they were screwed, incredibly screwed, only a miracle could save them at this point.

"Don't worry about them, I really wanted to know how you found out that every headmaster at Hogwarts possessed the heritage of the magical goddess Hecate." Dumbledore said, stroking his beard while his blue eyes looked at the three of them with a gentle smile.

"Where is the pilgrim?" Seeing Asterion preparing to leave, Dumbledore asked.

"Bratislava, Slovakia." Asterion replied with an amused smile; he hadn't expected his first trip to Europe to be a deadly one. As for asking the Slovak Ministry of Magic for permission to enter Slovakia, he had no idea how to go about it.

A country that didn't have a Special Grade Witch wasn't even considered a country in Asterion's eyes. Weakness was the ultimate sin, especially when it came to entire countries.

Dumbledore frowned when he heard this, he felt it was too abrupt for Asterion to go to Europe, even for a few hours.

He could already hear the complaints that would land on his desk some time later; after all, a weapon with the destructive power of nuclear bombs couldn't just walk into a country.

"Don't destroy the city." Dumbledore warned in a serious tone. He didn't want to spend weeks dealing with international tensions!

Asterion rolled his eyes again, he wasn't a child who didn't know how to control himself. He also knew that entering another country like this, especially in Europe, would put many countries on their guard.

Coupled with the near world war tensions in the world right now, Asterion could be the second Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the fuse for a possible war.

Don't underestimate people's paranoia, especially in pre-war times, any spark can start a huge fire at any time.

"Don't worry, I won't cause any international incidents." Asterion let the words go and walked away with a smile on his face.

Dumbledore turned to the three members of the R Organization and asked in a very soft tone. It didn't look like he was going to take any action against these people. "Now that he's gone, would you be so kind as to accompany me to Hogwarts? I'll serve you a delicious cup of lemon drop tea."

Dumbledore had never been known for his kindness, they called him the Cruel Sun for a reason, the man was extremely explosive when necessary.

"If I tell you everything, can you make an unbreakable vow to spare my life?" Kazuhiro and Verucca opened their eyes wide and looked at their companion with shock, disbelief and anger. They hadn't really expected Patricia to betray them at this point.

If they had been through a long period of torture, they could understand betrayal, but at this moment, when nothing had happened, they were furious at the betrayal.

"Don't look at me like that, my life is more important than anything else." Patrícia spoke without caring for the angry eyes of her companions. She was young, with a good reputation in the British community, she didn't want to die for the organization.

"Wise decision, Lady Patricia." Dumbledore smiled and gestured elegantly for Patricia to walk beside him.
