Chapter 724 There Are Several Traitors Among Us
When Ivan spoke, Joseph and others lowered their heads in fear. No one dared to arrange the powerful Dark Lord at will like Ivan did.
Ivan, who had been running Legilimency, clearly sensed the fear deep in everyone's heart, which made him frown.
It seems that Voldemort's influence has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and his few words alone are obviously not enough to change their minds.
But even so, Ivan does not regret directly announcing the news of Voldemort's resurrection, because it cannot be concealed no matter what. Rather than waiting for them to learn about it from other channels and causing some trouble, it is better to speak out on his own initiative!
Thinking of this, Ivan lost his scruples and continued to speak.
"Now Voldemort has used some means to regain his power. There is no doubt about it. I believe some of you have already received this news in advance..."
Ivan looked around at everyone, his eyes lingering on the faces of the pure-blood wizards for a moment, and finally his eyes fixed on Doggett. "I must be right, Docter? Aren't you going to have a good talk with everyone?"
The eyes of everyone present also looked over.
Docter was silent for a while, sighed quietly, and opened the sleeve of his left arm in front of everyone, revealing the strange dark mark on his wrist.
"A few months ago, the Dark Mark on my hand became more and more obvious. It was a sign of the Dark Lord's growing power. This situation reached its peak four days ago, and the Dark Mark suddenly changed. It's very hot... Just as Mr. Hals said, that man has regained his strength and is gathering his servants..."
"I've never heard you talk about this, Doggett..." Asia questioned, looking at Doggett with a sharp look.
"Before today, I wasn't sure about this, so I planned to wait for Mr. Hals to come back and discuss it with you..." Docter explained with ease.
After a pause, Docter, perhaps feeling that this reason was not enough, continued. "That time, I did not respond to the call of the Dark Lord. A loser who relies on fear to cause chaos is not worthy of our following."
Ivan stared at Docter with an appraising look.
Of course he knew that the other party concealed the news of Voldemort's resurrection, not just for the reasons mentioned just now.
However, Doggett's little thoughts were still within the range that he could tolerate, so Ivan had no intention of exposing it, nodded, and said.
"A very wise choice. Joining a remnant of the old era is tantamount to self-destruction!"
Docter was obviously relieved, and the atmosphere on the court seemed to have relaxed a lot, but Ivan's next words quickly made some people's hearts rise to their throats.
"It's just a pity that not everyone is as clear-headed as you and can make the right decision..."
"Sorry, everyone!" Ivan looked at everyone and said in a disappointed tone. "There are several traitors among us. They may be practicing the power of the Dark Lord, or they may have obtained some promises. In short, they have betrayed us..."
After Ivan finished speaking, everyone present looked around, looking for the traitors Ivan had mentioned, and soon began to question each other due to various contradictions.
"In five seconds, I can give these people a chance to repent!" Ivan suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion.
The conference room became quiet again.
Avery, who was hiding in the crowd, was caught in the battle between heaven and man. When Ivan said these words, he almost wanted to stand up.
But reason told him that Ivan would never be so kind and forgive them these betrayers.
It is very likely that all this was a trap, the purpose of which was to fish out the betrayers. Avery even suspected that Ivan did not know who the betrayers were at all, but only received some information and deliberately told them to bomb them.
So as long as he can hold his own, he has a high probability of escaping this disaster!
Avery kept comforting himself and hid in the crowd without saying a word.
Five seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and Ivan's voice quickly broke his illusion.
"Avery, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought you would at least have some courage to come forward." Ivan said with a sneer.
Under Ivan's gaze, the wizards gathered there spontaneously moved a distance, exposing the hiding Avery.
When he heard his name, Avery's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to maintain a calm face and defended himself. "Sir Hals, I think you may have misunderstood..."
Ivan spoke again before Avery finished speaking. "You don't think I can't see you because you were hiding in a crowd that night, do you? Avery?"
Ivan was not interested in listening to Avery's explanation at all. The other party's unprotected brain, like a sieve, had exposed all his thoughts.
Not to mention, before leaving school, he saw the faces of most of the Death Eaters in his flash memory, including Avery's...
The werewolf wizards immediately drew out their wands and surrounded Avery, but no one took action directly without Ivan's order.
Avery's mind went blank, and he realized that he was finished. His body softened and he immediately collapsed to the ground. However, he soon seemed to have thought of something, and climbed all the way to Ivan's seat, using a trembling voice. the voice pleaded.
"Sir Hals! Please believe me. I was forced by the Dark Lord, no, the Dark Lord! He tortured me constantly with the Cruciatus Curse, destroyed my will, and forced me to reveal to him the secrets in Knockturn Alley. Intelligence, otherwise...otherwise he will kill my wife and children..."
"It seems that you are not so heinous." Ivan stood up and said in a very warm tone. "But I'm somewhat curious about how Voldemort tortured you..."
"Is it like this?" Ivan looked at Avery, who was kneeling next to him, and waved his wand without warning, his voice becoming very cold. "Crucio~ (Heart-cutting out the bones)"
"Ahhh~" A burst of indescribable pain came from all parts of the body, and Avery suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, as if someone had ripped off a piece of his flesh with his hands. .
Avery was rolling on the ground frantically, with snot and tears pouring out continuously.
After an unknown amount of time, the torture finally ended. Avery lay limply on the ground, twitching from time to time like a dead fish. His eyes were blank, as if he still didn't understand why Ivan was talking. Make a sudden move.
"I gave you a second chance, but it's a pity that you lied to me again!" Ivan looked at the puzzled Avery and said indifferently. "That's not the message I received!"
