Chapter 256 “Justice”

"It's actually a member of the Aiken family who was arrested..." After receiving the news, Sean subconsciously chose to be suspicious.

Old Aiken, the current head of the Aiken family who lost his left hand, had previously stood up for the Wizards United Guards, which was still in its formation stage at that time. Sean almost assumed that he was the leader of the organization. Class members.

As a result, this guy's uncle was actually arrested by the escort?

Sean approached Hugo, a native of Paris, to see if he could get some information from him.

"That news in the morning? Of course I watched it." Hugo threw an unknown snack into his mouth and said to Sean vaguely.

"Have you ever gotten to know the Aiken family?"

Hugo swallowed the food in a gulp, and then pulled Sean to a more secluded corner: "President, I heard about Aiken. His character will definitely take revenge on you. Why, are you planning to strike first? "

Sean shrugged: "We'll talk about the action later. Now, can you provide me with some information?"

Hugo nodded: "I told you about the background of the Aiken family last time. As for today's news - do you want to know something about the interpersonal relationships within the Aiken family?"

"That's understandable."

"In fact, there are no interpersonal relationships. Although the Aiken family is powerful enough, they don't have many heirs. Basically everyone in the Paris wizarding world knows it. In addition to old Aiken and his family of three, old Aiken also has two cousins ​​and a cousin. , if there are two uncles, I can’t guarantee the specific relationship, but on the surface, the relationship within the other family is quite harmonious."

Hugo poked his head outside, made sure no one was nearby, and then whispered: "The Jobs Aiken who was arrested in the newspaper today is well known in Paris."

"Why do you say that?" Sean asked curiously.

"My brain is not working well. I have attacked Muggles and even half-blood wizards not once or twice. Every time, it was old Aiken who helped suppress him. There are only so many people in the wizarding world in Paris. Wizards with a little connections and information channels are all You know what kind of character that guy is. I guess many people secretly applauded his arrest this time."

"He was arrested and old Aiken didn't say anything?"

Hugo spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that. It happened just this morning, and there was no letter from my home."

"Then let me know if you have any news?"

Hugo made an OK gesture: "I'll write back and ask, and I'll tell you at the next party."

"Thanks, Hugo."

"You're welcome - by the way," Hugo rubbed his hands with a flattering smile, "I provide information to our club. Is this considered a contribution?"

Sean patted the other party's thick shoulder and said seriously: "Of course - I have a hunch that you will become the first person to be promoted to a core member of our Golden Dawn."

"Really?!" Hugo's eyes started to shine, "Then, that magic spell?"

"All I can say is that we are getting closer and closer to you." Sean drew a pie for him.

It’s not that he wants to renege on the debt, the key point is that he got it from Grindelwald, and if he wants to teach others, Grindelwald has to nod first. If he didn't get permission, Sean decided to teach the other party other fire spells to pay off the debt.

After bidding farewell to Hugo, who was full of expectations, Sean walked towards the Owlery. He had previously ordered several books such as "History of Magic" and "Saints" from other countries and wanted to learn more about it.

Sean thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he decided to buy a few other books.

When he came out of the Owlery just now, he encountered an unpleasant face.

Fabian Aiken.

This guy has been keen on provoking Sean recently, and he seems to have completely let go of the shame of being hung from the chandelier by Sean - he spread the news that Sean is the murderer.

The other party no longer cares about the shame that Sean's status as a 'sophomore' has brought to him. His only goal now is revenge, and he doesn't care about sacrificing his own face for this.

"Wallup, we meet again." Aiken's voice was light and airy.

Sean glanced at him, shook his head casually, and walked away.

Aiken and several of his followers took two steps to the side, blocking Sean's path.

"Are you going to run away now?"

Sean sighed helplessly: "Are you too busy, Aiken?"

He was indeed a little annoyed by this annoying guy. In Nurmengard, the other party didn't dare to do anything to him, but he couldn't defeat the other party.

In this case, the best choice is to avoid seeing him - but Fabian Aiken is as hard to get rid of as candy. Every time he sees Sean, he must come up and say something harsh, even if he There is no way to retaliate now.

"Wallup—" Aiken licked his lips sickly, "You and I both know very well that I can't retaliate against you now, and you can't deal with me anymore. The verbal entanglement doesn't seem to have any meaning."

"Hmm, so you just want to disgust me?" Sean said expressionlessly.

"That's right," Aiken nodded happily, "Wallup, just like you said, I'm too busy. Thanks to you, my club's hearts have dispersed, and I don't have so many things to deal with. "

As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and the arm that Sean had broken hung down weakly.

"Look, my injury hasn't fully healed yet. The medical office gave me a leave of absence. I don't have to attend many classes. Look, I have a lot of time now."

Sean blinked: "I'm afraid you misunderstood. Your injury has nothing to do with me."

"I'm very careful not to leave anything behind." Aiken leaned closer to his head, narrowed his eyes, and made a hoarse sound like a viper in his throat, "But I must remind you all the time, Wallop, you will eventually It will fall into my hands one day.”

"Should I express my expectation?"

"No, you should enjoy the current peace now - ha." Aiken let out a nervous and hoarse laugh.

"Okay, I remember. I will eat well and study hard. Go ahead. You should worry about your--well, uncle? Whatever, I borrowed it. I borrowed it."

As he said that, Sean squeezed through several people with all his strength. valley

Aiken did not stop him this time, but showed a ferocious smile at Sean's back.

At night, Fabian Aiken returned to his resting place. Of course, although he provoked Sean every day, he was still worried that the other party would secretly take action against him. In addition to his followers living in the rooms on both sides, he also placed a lot of defensive magic in the dormitory, and various alarm, repel, attack, and defense magic props were hung everywhere.

After returning to the dormitory, he casually removed some of the bandages on his body, and his arms and legs, which were originally weak, became more flexible.

Aiken sat on the sofa with a cold face, and then took out something like a brazier.

After putting in the charcoal, the brazier placed on the coffee table burned violently soon, and a face made of charcoal appeared in it.

"Fabian." Old Aiken's voice was slightly distorted.

"Father." Aiken bowed respectfully.

"Are you still provoking that Wallop?"

"Yes - Father, I know what you want to say, but I can't do it. As long as I see his face, I can see countless faces, countless faces that laughed at me that day." Aiken's His face was twisted, filled with anger that could not be resolved.

Old Aiken said in a calm voice: "Child, I understand your mood, but you must learn to exercise restraint."

Aiken raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Father, restraint makes no sense. He and I are already enemies on the surface. He is a smart man and knows what we must be planning. No matter how I perform, he will definitely do it." Find a way to find out the truth - so I don't have to compromise with him."

"I know, but I have to tell you, kid," Old Aiken said, "I'm very happy that you didn't fall into decadence because of such a big blow. But I also don't want your vision to be obscured by hatred in your head, a dirty Dirty Mudbloods will only become mud under your feet, and then you will stride forward to a greater future."

Aiken's chest rose and fell a few times. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I understand, but father, I have a request. After that, I want to see him in person."

"It's a trivial matter, but one thing you have to understand is that the Wizards United Guard is now the most just official organization, and they must have evidence for their actions. Moreover, if anything goes wrong, you will bear the responsibility."

"Of course -" Aiken's eyes shone slightly, "Father, if your information is correct, then Wallop must be a Death Eater. As you told me, the mark of a Death Eater cannot be removed... "

In the brazier, Old Aiken's face made of charcoal moved up and down: "But there is one more thing. The Death Eaters are just a small hidden organization. They have not appeared in the sun. Even the leader of the organization is unknown. Only You can't convict someone based on a tattoo."

Aiken smiled: "Then let's help them bathe in the sunshine."

"What about the specific plan? What about the follow-up operations? What about the possible revenge of the Death Eaters?" Old Aiken asked.

"I have already made a complete plan..." Aiken knew that this was his father's test for him, so he immediately revealed the plan he had already thought of.

After a long time, Old Aiken nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Fabian, you have matured."

Aiken bowed gracefully and caressed his chest: "Thank you for your compliment, father, then——"

"Well, let's just go ahead and do it when everything is settled."

…

The establishment of the Wizards United Guards set off an 'anti-gangster' storm in the magical world. After offices in various countries were established, in addition to dealing with ordinary security incidents, 'recovering old cases' became an important task of the guards.

You know, if you don't suffer accidents, longevity is often the standard configuration of wizards, especially those powerful wizards. Pure-blood wizards have the most abundant resources and the most extensive power in the entire wizarding world, which allows them to live happily into their old age even if they violate wizarding laws.

Whether they are bribing Ministry of Magic officials or hiding in their own luxurious residences that no one knows about, most illegal pure-blood wizards are still alive and well.

And these people have become the targets of the Wizards United Guards.

In just a few weeks, starting with Jobs Aiken of the Aiken family, wizards were being arrested in every country in Europe that had established a joint wizarding guard office.

Most of these wizards are pure-blood wizards, and they break the law for various reasons. Attacking Muggles, smuggling contraband, brewing banned drugs, and conducting dark magic experiments. Criminal records from a few years ago, more than ten years ago, or even longer ago were uncovered.

This evidence comes from the testimonies of some of the victims at the time, and also from the confessions of some former Ministry of Magic officials who had accepted bribes. In short, in a short period of time, the entire wizarding world was in a state of chaos.

In the past, those high-ranking pure-blood wizards were searched and arrested one by one by the guards, and even wizards with solid evidence of guilt were thrown into prison.

The wizarding world fell into a strange atmosphere. Those pure-blood families that were usually wealthy and powerful fell silent one by one, while the more ordinary wizards cheered and applauded.

There is really an official organization that has begun to change this deformed social class. They have seen the vigorous and resolute actions of the Guards and the selflessness of the Guards. This makes ordinary wizards excited - they can even punish pure-blood wizards!

Of course, people have seen more.

In today's wizarding world, the wealth of pure-blood families spreads throughout society, and their relationships and connections are like tangled vines tied to the entire wizarding world.

In such a short period of time, so many wizards of the same level in the past were arrested. Normally, pure-blood wizards would at least be a little bit sad, right?

After all, no pure-blood family can guarantee that they or any of their relatives have not done anything illegal, and they cannot guarantee whether the next knife will fall on their head.

Under such circumstances, such a big move by the Wizards United Guards did not cause any backlash?

From Sean's point of view, this is something very abnormal.

On the surface, the Wizards United Guards are engaged in social security matters, but to put it bluntly, the Guards are almost reforming - they are touching the cake that has been owned by the pure-blood family for thousands of years, and they are weakening the pure-blood family. Power and wealth passed down from generation to generation.

How could it go so smoothly... This was Sean's first thought.

If there were constant protests and other activities by pure-blood families, then he could understand it, but Sean got the news from Bella and Barty Jr. - with so many arrested pure-blood wizards, very few of their families Someone comes to intercede or put pressure.

It's like it's been discussed long ago...

Of course, the UK is an exception in this case.

Of course, accountability for past cases is also on the agenda, but the British wizarding world seems to be out of tune with other countries. Except for a few kittens and puppies, nothing bigger has happened until now.

Among the British pure-blood families, the most well-known Malfoy family, Lestrange family, and Black family are all related to him, and the heads of the families have not received any secret contact.
