Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 488 Disgusting Woman

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Kingsley was rendered speechless by Mrs. Kent.

Although the things Mrs. Kent mentioned were done by the previous people from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and had nothing to do with him, outsiders didn't care about that.

In their view, Kingsley was exactly the same as those officials in the past!
Kingsley naturally understood this, so he did not argue, but at the same time he did not want to give up, so he began to organize his words and prepared to make a final wave of persuasion to Mrs. Kent.

But before he could speak, Mike stood up and said:
"Well, now that everything has been clarified, I have to stay here."

After that, he pulled his collar and said to Mrs. Kent with a smile:
"Mrs. Kent, are you interested in coming over to my place? I still have some questions for you. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to earn a large sum of Galleons after this."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Kent first showed a look of horror, but after hearing Mike's last words, her expression became conflicted.

However, this tangled expression only lasted for a moment before it was replaced by determination. She stood up and said:
"it is good!"

Kingsley was anxious. He also stood up and shouted to Mike:
"No, you can't leave! Mike, do you think you can escape the punishment of the law like this? I tell you, this is a daydream! I will catch you all the way!"

Mike paused, knowing full well that Kingsley was telling the truth.

The situation where the public does not report and the officials do not investigate is based on the premise that the case is not serious and the law enforcement officers find it troublesome.

If law enforcement is determined to hold someone accountable for breaking the law, then the victim's opinion doesn't really matter.

In other words, as long as Kingsley has conclusive evidence to prove that Clark was indeed killed by Mike, he has the right to directly bring Mike to justice.

But...are things really that easy?
The corner of Mike's mouth raised in a strange arc, and then he neither argued nor left the office directly, but turned his head to look at a giant wall clock in the corner of the office.

"According to the time, Benjamin should be almost there..."

Mike murmured, and just as he finished his words, an owl flew in from the skylight of the office with a letter in its beak and landed in front of Kingsley.

Kingsley's eyes swept over the copper ring on the owl's ankle, and his heart tightened - this was an owl belonging to the Ministry of Magic!
Kingsley immediately took the letter and prepared to check it, but before he could open it, the blood-red letter paper in the envelope flew out, suspended in the air and automatically folded into the shape of a mouth.

"Kingsley! Come back right now, right now! Do you know how busy the Ministry of Magic is right now? Those damn Death Eaters and criminals are almost filling up the Department of Magical Law Enforcement! And at this moment, as the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, instead of working hard to solve these problems in the Ministry of Magic, you are working for Dumbledore outside of working hours! You really disappoint me, Kingsley. Sometimes I really can't figure out whether you are an official of the Ministry of Magic or Dumbledore's hound. Maybe I should think about whether you are qualified for your current position."

Scrimgeour's hoarse, dull voice continued to come through the red origami mouth. The sound was so loud that the portraits on the office walls trembled slightly.

Kingsley, who was the first to be hit, had a grim face. He knew very well that his career was over.

Even though he is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, that doesn't mean he doesn't like power.

"It looks like you have something urgent to deal with, so we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

After Mike finished speaking, he took Mrs. Kent towards the office door, and this time, Kingsley did not say anything to stop them.

Not only Kingsley, but Dumbledore also did not speak. He just sat there quietly as before. This was his strategy today, just watch and not say anything.

But the expression on his face was surprisingly ugly, because he could see clearly that at this point he basically had no way to deal with Mike.

This kid...his wings have really grown strong.

Dumbledore thought so as he stared at his right hand which was tightly bound by bandages.

At the same time, Mike took Mrs. Kent straight to the Room of Requirement.

Mike didn't talk to Mrs. Kent along the way, and Mrs. Kent was happy with it. She followed Mike silently, secretly looking at the tall figure in front of her.

Mrs. Kent was completely impressed by what Mike had done in the office just now. His powerful strength, amazing wealth and power as well as his miraculous age, Mrs. Kent swore that she had never even heard of such a young man, let alone seen one!
At the same time, this is also the reason why she is willing to go with Mike, because she knows very well that after losing Dumbledore, the others are just using her, and now that she has lost her value, Mike can do whatever he wants to her, and she has no room to resist at all.

Now, she could only hope that Mike would keep his promise and let her leave safely with the check.

"Here we are."

Mrs. Kent, who was immersed in her own inner world, was startled and stopped in a hurry.

At this moment, they were in the corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

As soon as Mrs. Kent finished looking around, she frowned and said:

"Are you sure we want to talk here? Although there are few people here, it's not..."

Mrs. Kent's words came to an abrupt end because a door suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

"Come in, Mrs. Kent."

Mike smiled and made a gesture of invitation. He could see that Mrs. Kent was very surprised at the existence of the Room of Requirement, but he said nothing. There was no point in humiliating an old woman.

At this time, the Request Room had turned into a spacious tea room. Zhou Hong was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed, spinning a pen out of boredom.

Mike took Mrs. Kent into the Request Room and placed her on a hardwood chair directly opposite Zhou Hong, while he himself sat next to Zhou Hong.

The conditions here were obviously not as good as Dumbledore's office. Not only did Mrs. Kent sit on a hard chair, but Mike didn't even offer her a cup of tea.

But this actually made her feel relieved. Now she didn't dare to drink the tea because she was afraid that truth serum might be added to it.

But there was one thing that made Mrs. Kent particularly uncomfortable, and that was the young man sitting opposite her. He had been staring at her since she came in, and that young man's gaze made Mrs. Kent feel like she was completely seen through.

Mrs. Kent couldn't help but cover her chest with her arms. She didn't like the feeling of being completely seen through.

Zhou Hong, who was sitting opposite her, rolled his eyes when he saw this.

"Okay, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Mrs. Kent, please tell me in detail what happened to Clark during the year between sixth and seventh grade. If your answer satisfies me, not only can you leave safely with the check for 6 gold galleons today, but I can also give you an extra 7 gold galleons in cash."

As Mike spoke, he took out a traceless stretch bag and dumped it on the ground. The gold coins inside piled up into a small mountain on the ground, which made Mrs. Kent drool. "I hope you can tell the truth and don't try to lie, otherwise you will regret it."

Mrs. Kent nodded. It took great willpower for her to move her eyes away from the hill of gold coins. She looked at Mike and said:

"What do you want to know? Can you be more specific?"

"Strange things, you have to tell me anything that's out of the ordinary."

"Strange things...really do exist." Mrs. Kent murmured, "Clark has seldom come home in the past two years. He only stays at home for one or two days during the summer vacation and Christmas vacation every year, and then disappears suddenly.

I once asked him where he had been, but he refused to tell me anything and just said he was going to work.

I believed it, because he would send gold galleons home from time to time every time he went out. When he came back, he would bring a bunch of gifts for me and his two sisters..."

"You are lying!"

Zhou Hong interrupted Mrs. Kent with a yell, and Mike's eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at her.

The purpose of his asking Mrs. Kent was simply to try to see if he could find any clues about the person behind Clark. If Mrs. Kent did not cooperate, he would not mind getting rid of her directly.

Mrs. Kent was startled by Mike's gaze, and she waved her hands hastily:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong! He only gave the gold galleons and gifts to my two daughters, not to me! In fact, his relationship with me is not good at all. He hates me very much. He hates me for bringing him into this world, and he also hates me for killing his father."

Mike looked at Zhou Hong again, and when he saw the other party nodded, he signaled Mrs. Kent to continue.

Mrs. Kent was already sweating profusely at this time. She finally understood why she felt like she was seen through, and why Mike was not afraid of her lying.

It turned out that the young Asian man sitting in front of her was actually a master of Legilimency!

No, a mere Legilimency master couldn't do that, and considering the other party's age, there was only one possibility left.

That Asian boy is a natural mind reader!
Mrs. Kent took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Hong fearfully, and then continued:

“You may not believe this, but Clark was originally a very inferior and cowardly kid, with poor academic performance. It was a complete miracle that he could become a superior.

But since he went out to work, I found that he has changed. He has become more and more confident and stronger. This is obviously not normal! "

"Out of concern for Clark, I once followed him to find out where he was working, but he became too strong and I couldn't catch up with him. Fortunately, I know some important people, and they told me that Clark has been working for a Slytherin student who seems to be called..."

"Chris."

"Yes, it's Chris! A Slytherin prefect, one year younger than Clarke!"

Mike's eyes suddenly lit up when he said the name Chris to Fang. He really didn't expect that his inquiry, which was just a casual inquiry, would actually lead to such a big fish!

If the person behind Clark is really Chris, then a lot of things can be connected together.

What makes Mike wonder is, why does Chris do this? What good will it do for him?

Mike couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and at this moment, Zhou Hong on the side said again:

"You lied again."

Mike looked at Mrs. Kent opposite with a stern look. He was really a little angry. He had already imagined it all, but it turned out that the other party was lying?

"No! I didn't! I... okay, I did lie." Mrs. Kent said hastily, "I followed Clark not because I was worried about him, but because I wanted to find out where Clark was working. Then... then I threatened him to cause trouble and asked him to give me money. I... I had no choice. He was only willing to give money to his two sisters and didn't even want to give me a copper knuckle! I'm his mother! He would rather watch me starve than give me money!"

Zhou Hong, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Kent, was now extremely angry.

He had never seen his mother, so he always imagined his mother to be very beautiful, but the information in Mrs. Kent's mind at this moment was tarnishing the word "mother", which was extremely sacred in his mind!
He panted and looked at the other person fiercely, and he had the urge to shake his head, because he knew very well that as long as he shook his head, Mike would immediately let this evil mother know what it felt like to be an idiot.

But after hesitating for a moment, he nodded to Mike with difficulty.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kent finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Mike continued to ask expressionlessly:

"Who was the person who told you Clark was working with Chris? Where is he now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Kent's expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

She looked at Mike, who had no expression on his face, and then at Zhou Hong, who had a frosty face. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Yes...my brother...Harrod Kent told me. He has always been a lackey of the Chris family, so he knows something about these things. As for where he is, I'm sorry, I don't know either. He disappeared, along with his family and all the movable wealth. The Chris family also disappeared with him."

Mike nodded. This was pretty much what he expected. Clark and Chris' news would be kept strictly secret. The only one who could reveal the information was Chris' partner, the member of the Pureblood Alliance who had disappeared.

However, there was one thing Mike couldn't figure out.

According to Clark's memory, Mrs. Kent had always had a bad relationship with her brother, so how could her brother tell her such a thing?

Mike frowned and asked the question in his mind.

"Oh, my brother and I have an affair. I often go to his house to sleep with him. In return, he often gives me some money. But he is a miser. He is only willing to give me one gold galleon each time, and sometimes only five or six silver Sickles! As for Clark's matter, he told me about it when we were doing something. I guess it must be a very important secret, because after he said it, his face became very bad, and he couldn't do it anymore..."

Mrs. Kent seemed to have completely let go. She talked incessantly, as if she was talking about something very interesting.

Opposite her, Zhou Hong and Mike's faces had already turned ashen.

Zhou Hong panted and spoke word by word:

"You are so disgusting!"
